It was really early, like not even 6 am early and after a night without dinner or snacks, I wanted to sit down in a nicer restaurant. I love seafood, so I picked Phillips.
I should have known from the sign that said Pasterized Crab Meat. I'm a crab lover and being from the San Francisco Bay Area, I always have access to fresh crab. This was not the case.
With a limited menu, I ordered the Cream of Crab Soup and an Ice Tea. It came up fast and service was friendly, but the soup was wayyyy over seasoned and the crab tasted dehydrated. Biting into crab chunks that seemed to break apart like powder chunks. I stopped trying to eat it after about 5 spoonfuls.
I drank about 2 large ice teas and 2 large waters to get the overpowering salty seasoning taste from my mouth. The unsweetened ice tea is good, yet not worth stopping in when there is a lot offered in this airport.
The worse part is the aftermath of a stomachache and sick feeling that lasted for the next 10-12 hours. If I wasn't already feeling tired and hungry, add sick to that and it wasn't worth it at all.
Even if you like canned crab, I wouldn't recommend Phillips for anyone.
