Phillips Seafood - Hartford Airport

While missing beautiful Baltimore, Maryland seafood, stopped in this Hartford, Connecticut Bradley International Airport Phillips Seafood restaurant to hopefully remind me of home. Relaxing ambiance, super friendly wait staff and quick order to table service. My selected order of very delicious lump crab meat crab cakes, fried shrimp and coleslaw was heavenly. If you are flying out of, through or into here...come take a seat, enjoy yourself!

Great staff! Kayla took care of us and was very attentive and on point! We ordered the crispy shrimp and fish-n-chips. The crispy Panko on the shrimp was a bit much and I would have preferred them with batter. They gave 12 shrimp and the waffle fries were good. Overall the food was better than I expected but not then usual type of New England seafood I’m used to.

Server was friendly - she's the only reason for the second star. Everything is cross contaminated per the express statement of the server so if you have any allergies you can't eat anything. Food was OK to poor. Chicken sandwich was overcooked and tough. Every ketchup bottle was empty. Burger was good. Fry portions were underwhelming for the cost of the meal. Also, NewsMax was on all the TVs spewing political garbage. I'd avoid and try another eatery in the terminal.

If you find yourself flying out of Hartford, get there early so you can eat and drink at Phillips. The food is good, the drinks are strong and the service is awesome. Stephanie was my server and she’s fantastic. Airports suck as a whole but Phillips made my experience in Hartford enjoyable.Food: 4/5

Great dining option for the Bradley Airport. The bartender was extremely friendly and the food was flying out the window for everyone's order. If there's any negative in this aspect, it's that food prepared that fast is probably not fresh. But, this is an airport and we care more about the speed than freshness here typically I ordered a meal a bit off the menu - a Caesar salad with lobster meat. The lobster did not taste great to me initially, but it soon dawned on me there was no seasoning of any sort on it. So I generously sprinkled salt and pepper on it. I followed that up with Tabasco sauce, but I don't recommend that to people - I just like things hot. After that slight adjustment, I enjoyed my meal very much! The total cost for an Old Fashioned and a Lobster Caesar Salad was 38.40. I consider that pretty good by airport prices. I recommend this restaurant if you find yourself at the Bradley Airport and you're looking for some seafood!

Always a great experience. Bartenders are always cheerful, quick to help and very courteous. I have access to the lounge but I choose to come here because it is a consistently exceptional time. Good selection of beers, and a full bar for cocktails. The crab cake sandwich is impeccable. The food is always the same, every trip, every time. I actually look forward to visiting this bar for the friendly folks who remember your name and the delicious food.

I was traveling through Bradley Intl airport and I stopped here for lunch. I got the calamari and it was so good. It was very tender unlike some calamari I have had before. The server was very nice as well. Very nice place to eat before you depart.

I'll start off by saying the service was GREAT. We didn't have to wait to be seated and we were greeted immediately. Our server was such a sweet lady and was so fast with everything! The service deserves 5 stars. However, the food was horrible. I had such great seafood during my stay, I wanted one last taste before I wouldn't be back for a while. I should have known airport seafood can't be good, even in New England. The Clam Chowder came out hot, but that's the only positive. When the Mussels came out they had a strong, fishy smell but we still gave them a try. My boyfriend said they were repulsive and they honestly were the worst mussels I've ever tasted. They were SO salty. It was like we were eating dirty ocean scum. I only had a few - they were inedible really. I'm still grossed out thinking about them! Original Yelp review 6/17/2019

Great service and. Great food. I had the shrimp sampler because I wasn’t really hungry. If I was hungry I would have order more. The season on my meal was great. The taste was awesome. You won’t be disappointed if you decide to stop by this location. Oh, the dipping sauces are perfect!!!! Haven’t had anything like it. I think it’s a pineapple dipping sauce, the tarter sauce, and cocktail sauce. I normally dislike cocktail sauce, however, they must have put some magic in this sauce because I actually enjoyed it.

So. I’m wasting time with a gin & tonic and lobster bisque. I have to say, the G&T and lobster bisque were really good. And while the servers and other employees seem to be super attentive, man they have foul language. I’ve heard many S words and the F word. Never mind the little girl sitting behind me. It’s a place of business. There should be some level of professionalism. That’s not it.
