| - Phillips Seafood is just one of a few handfuls of regional restaurants located in Charlotte airport that make this airport such a pleasure to fly through, as the food options here are such a welcome departure from the standard McDonalds and Sbarro (indeed, with the varied food options, free wifi, restroom attendants, live piano music and comfy rocking chairs, CLT is the only airport to which I've given a solid 5 stars).
I stopped at this restaurant to grab a quick bite during a 1 1/2 hour layover. I had a seat at the bar and was quickly attended to by Angela. She asked what I wanted, I requested a menu and she grabbed one from the next customer over and handed it to me. Lol.
I ordered a 9 oz pour of Chardonnay and an order of miniature crab cakes with chipotle ranch dressing. She sat out a wine glass and proceeded to dump (I mean that literally) a full and generous 9 ounce pour into it. She was awesome all night and I loved her personality!
Chardonnay was $12/ glass and the crab cakes were $10.99 which was fair, especially for airport fare which can be pricey in some cities due to the ol' "supply and demand" rule. The crab cakes were tasty, but the ranch was a bit overpowering and the bed of lettuce the crab cakes were served on was a little brown and wilted. It should be noted that, while they had ceramic plates, patrons are given black plastic forks and knives to dine with.
This Phillips Seafood location has 1 TV on each end of the bar and a few hanging in other areas of the restaurant, but on this night they had the same programming on all of them and the channel selection wasn't the best.
