    Lobster roll
    Winter B.

    MacPhails is a small, casual spot but don't look past it! They serve breakfast and lunch all day as well as coffee and pastries. The breakfast burrito was amazing, it had tater tots, eggs, bacon, and avocado. Lobster roll had a lot of meat in it. Prices are not bad for being in Martha's Vineyard. Nice and air conditioned inside. Some indoor and outdoor seating. Wasn't too crowded when I came but there was a line when we were leaving. If you want a quick meal I would recommend coming here.

    Forgot about me while I was waiting for my order. My family left. The place was empty. Ugh. The staff said " we were working on the order of the person ahead of you ". Not true. They had already received their food and left. And as soon as I said something they jumped into action.

    This used to be one of my favorite places to go to. Every year I would look forward to this place opening for the season. I went there on Sept 2nd, 2022, around 8 am, for a breakfast sandwich. There was no line at all. Sadly this place has gone downhill. I ordered an egg and cheese sandwich on a bagel, and my mum ordered a sausage egg and cheese. When I got home, upon opening the sandwich, I thought they had accidentally given both of us a sausage egg and cheese. I am plant-based, so I gave it to someone else in my home to eat, but they realized that the egg was burnt to the point that it looked like a sausage. I'm disappointed to say that Macphail's has gone downhill. A burnt egg should have never been placed on this sandwich. Instead, I will recommend Rosewater on Water St. it's open year-round and so far has not disappointed.

    Food, service, and vibe were phenomenal. They were very accommodating and served the lobster roll on gluten free bread! All of the food was great... would return!

    One of the best lobster rolls I've had in a while. This little shop on the corner has a small but great menu of lobster roll, burger, popcorn chicken, hot dog and chicken sandwich. We ordered two lobster rolls and they were delicious. Lobster was slightly shredded and was mixed with light mayo. We arrived on a Saturday around 2:30p and we were lucky enough to get the last two. They ran out of lobster for the next customer. Would definitely recommend getting in early for a lunch!

    Lobster roll with lightly buttered bun.  Good portion and clearly super-fresh.

    We hit this place up upon arriving on the island. You would expect at 12:30 that there would be a line out the door, but there was none even though the street was bustling with activity. The lobster roll is excellent, albeit on the high side on cost; but what can you expect on the island. The cheeseburger was very tasty according to the kids. Veggieburger, also good. Lunch entrées are accompanied by mixed greens with balsamic which is a nice, light seaside accompaniment. Perfect spot to grab some food, find a bench on the pier, and watch the boats come in and out.

    Look how much meat is in this lobster roll!!

    We stumbled upon this place by accident but I'm really glad we did! My friends and I ordered lobster rolls (~$22 each) and they were amazing!!! Our rolls were filled with lobster and they were very fresh! The staff was very friendly and the cafe was clean. Also, the truffle fries were really good. We will definitely be coming back again!!

    $21.99 for lobster roll, $3.25 for an Izze, and $4.50 fries. Decent lobster roll, good fries, but the guy at the cash register is only nice to hot young girls. Good for a quick meal. Not much seating.

    Such a cute tiny space ! My husband and I stopped by for a quick bite in the morning. Luckily we missed the morning rush and got to get our order quickly :) even if there was a wait it's well worth it!

    See all

    Good street food for the area, could be better. Prices are extremely jacked up unfortunately, and lobster rolls are so-so.

    My kids usually love the popcorn chicken but today it was over cooked and barely had any chicken. It was basically just over fried breading.

    I've been coming to this spot since 2020, and every experience has been exceptional from the…read morecustomer service to the food. This visit (8/17/25) was EXTREMELY different. First, it started with my smoothie order. I wanted a mango smoothie and I was told only berrilicious was available. Moments later, my friend had a mango smoothie. Very interesting that she was able to get one and I wasn't. That was a lapse in actually checking first, since he didn't know. Then, I ordered a sweet potato, black bean burger. When I started to consume the burger, I noticed that it was very burnt on the outside and undercooked on the inside not a desirable bite and it was bland. I requested another sandwich because it's a high chance it'll come out the same way, I'd rather have a tuna salad on a roll. The server then asked my name for the order (2) more times. Then, said she needed to talk to her manager about changing it. She speaks to her manager in Spanish and not talking good about me. Assuming that I don't understand Spanish as a Black woman or American. After five minutes she handed me a hot sandwich. I asked what it was, she said it's the tuna sandwich you asked for (which also had burnt toast). I responded I don't want it like this and you didn't take my order. You said you needed to speak to your manager. She cuts me off and says well what do you want? At this point a refund because your customer service is horrible. I know this is not the norm because the way the workers were looking at her and apologized to me, I knew this was out of character for this establishment. Within two minutes, another manager handled it the way it should have been, an apology for a burnt burger and an immediate action to remedy the situation (refund). That is the only reason I will return, but the server and the manager speaking bad about a customer in Spanish, is a poor look for this place. If it happens again, I will know better, and have a lot more to say because I won't be disrespected, but I will return for now.

    Cute cafe. Service was good. The hummus wrap was overpriced but was fresh and tasted good. Chai was…read moreunsweetened and tasted good. Love the outdoor patio.
