OCEAN CITY – The owners of an uptown eatery are looking to make their mark with a new operation at the old Phillips Crab House property.
Nearly a year after opening Fast Eddie’s Corner Bar & Grill, co-owners Frank Raffo, Jon Latta and Eddie Johnson are setting their sights on a second business venture – Union Chesapeake Seafood House. Located at the former Phillips Crab House property, the operators say they hope to open the all-you-can-eat seafood and prime rib buffet before Memorial Day.
“We’re not going to veer too far from what Brice and Shirley Phillips started,” Raffo said.
Raffo, Johnson and Latta are no strangers to the local restaurant industry. With decades of experience among them, they joined together last year to open Fast Eddie’s, located in the Ocean City Square Shopping Center off 120th Street.
And while they plan to continue operating that business, they say they are eager to install a new restaurant at the 21st Street property.
All you can eat Buffet sounds classy.
Sysco Seafood sitting out under light bulbs. It’s smart and in keeping with the tourists, we get here now. Even locals in their Depends will drive 45 minutes for a Buffet.
That won’t be pricey………..much!
