    We were driving from Boston to Maine and excited for some lobster rolls. We saw Phil and Mike's large sign while we were driving and stopped. The "restaurant" is really more like a home kitchen and a hollowed-out garage with tables to sit and eat. Love it! Unfortunately the lobster rolls weren't great. I have no idea how this place has 4 stars, especially with all the great lobster roll places around. One positive: they put a lot of lobster in the rolls, and they butter/grill the rolls the traditional way, which is nice. However, the rolls they use aren't traditional lobster roll rolls. Also, their more egregious mistake is that the lobster is chopped! I'm always very skeptical of a place that chops their lobster. Why not leave the large, delicious chunks of lobster intact? Why ruin it? When places do this I immediately think "are you hiding something?" Maybe they're not using tails and only the claws, which is a big no-no. Either way, the roll was below average. Luckily their rolls are only $10, which should have been a sign. But, paying the traditional $15-25 for a lobster roll would have been painful for this weak of a roll. Besides the cheap price, some other positives: super nice host, and the sweets are tasty.

    I've been coming here for more than 10 years and they never disappoint. It's Phil and Mike's now that Phil is older but it's the same great food. We get the seafood salad rolls (they used to be called Poor Boy Lobster rolls) and they are the BEST. You can get 3 for $9.50 or they're $3.50 each.

    Atmosphere: clean Service: friendly Lobster Roll: bits and pieces with a heavy mayo. Bun was weakly toasted. Unsure I could recommend with so many places around that give full pieces and have amazing scenery. Skip the temptation to try them all.

    $9.95 for lobster roll and small bag of chips. Brilliant. The place is packed on this lovely Exodus day (Labor Day). We arrived just before the masses, which I I've. Walking up, some lady unannounced exclaimed that her haddock sandwich was great. Ahhh, shaddup, I came for lobstah. Very good lobster salad roll. A bit a mayo and no filling. I would definite come again.

    Check these out!

    Went here Saturday and Sunday. We were told by a friend of ours this was the place to go for Lobster Rolls. Little did we know, that was a total understatement. On Saturday my girlfriend and I ordered two a piece-- and they were the largest, tastiest lobster rolls we had while staying in Boothbay. Not sold yet? They were half the price of everyone else's! I'm huge into customer service. The atmosphere was very friendly and inviting. We decided to come back Sunday! They were fresh out of Lobster, sadly, so we got some hot dogs. Being me, and being really clumsy, I went to sit down and eat and I dropped my hotdogs on the ground by mistake. Really good laugh, not so much to eat, however. I went back inside to order a couple more-- and the gentleman insisted I didn't have to pay and he would make me two more and bring them out to me. I was very appreciative! In short, if you're heading this way, you would be crazy to not stop here and enjoy the incredible food, people, and atmosphere. Thank you!

    Stop in for a lobster roll at Phil & Mike's.

    Wicked good lobster and fresh blueberry pie...this is the spirit of summertime in Maine. Phil and Mike's is a great stop along the road to Boothbay.

    Lobster roll lunch.. These were $9.95 each!

    We decided to stop along the road to grab a quick lunch. The lobster rolls were advertised for $9.95. Actually it was more of a mayo/chopped lobster meT versus the lump lobster. It was a great value for the money which included a bag of chips.

    Lobster roll, seafood salad, and haddock sandwich

    Best lobster roll of my life! No joking around here! Seafood salad and the haddock sandwich were great too! Cute little shack off the highway; very Maine!!

    Booth Decay FKA "The…read moreBoothbay Region Lobstermen's Co-Op," is an actual working Lobster Dock that also happens to have a fast-casual restaurant and bar. We arrived after a day at the nearby Botanical Garden and were ready for our first Lobstah Roll back in Maine. The Good: *Happy Hour daily 3 - 5 p.m. *Clam Chowder was fine, but I thought it should be thicker for my liking. Carissa thought it was fine fwiw. *Fairly large parking lot that could get filled during busier times of the year, but parking was plentiful upon our visit. *Full bar with everything from spirits to local micro and macro brews on tap. *Amazing views from their dog-friendly outdoor dining. They also have some indoor dining upstairs during inclement weather. The Meh: *Service wasn't friendly at all from the order or pickup booth. In fact, I'd say it was downright sassy-- and not in a good way. When we asked for our lobster buttered and not dressed (i.e., mayo) we got a giant eyeroll from the maître d'. Why she cares is beyond me, since she's not doing much beyond taking orders. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ *The bartender was slightly better service-wise, but she tends to disappear and you have to wait around for her to re-appear. *Fries were whatever, but at least they were cheap. *The Lobster was overcooked and chewy, which is disappointing. However, we will say they were very generous with the Lobster itself, as we both got fairly large pieces of claws. Pro Tip: If two people want a regular Lobster roll, you're better off ordering the large and splitting it. I'm pretty sure the large was at least double the meat of the regular, and it was only $10 more. *The roll they use for the roll didn't really hold up to the moisture, as it was fairly soggy by the time it reached our table. The Ugly: *They really have the gall to charge $2 for a tablespoon of melted butter. As if paying $40-50 for a sandwich isn't enough... 0_o Conclusion: Below avg lobstah roll with great views but grumpy Gus service. Hard pass.

I was already in a foul mood, walking in here set me into straight sensory overload. It's a bar where they sing. I am unable to get inebriated enough to enjoy bars where they sing any longer. Call me miserable, maybe I suppose. In addition to the merry old fella belting it out on the mic, we had the joy of having some drunk guy in a large group behind us try and out sing him without a microphone. He even challenged the old guy singing to a form of a duel. Anyway I was so off, I cannot remember anything about my server at all. Nothing. I do remember almost screaming and running out. I sat there trying not to lose it while my wife had the time of her life. Every song made it worse, everyone else is singing, I am dying. When the guy took a break, guess what, dickhead from the crowd goes up and takes over. Shots helped at this point and the weed is kicking in well at this point. Now I'm hungry... My food was inedible and I'm pretty sure incomplete as well. The worst flatbread in the history of flatbreads. C's looked pretty good actually so I am sure her experience was quite different than mine. I hope to never return. '25 - extra

    Some local friends said there's a new executive chef and that the food at Coastal Prime has…read moreimproved. unfortunately, I did not experience this to be the case - as I thought the food was outstanding the last time I dined here and our dinner was good but not amazing and there were a few issues. Maybe because their reviews have indicated poor service, we experienced over-service: the floor manager checked in with us three times to see how we were doing in a rather obsequious manner which was very off-putting. Our very friendly server checked in with us 15 times (!) so much so that it was a bit irritating as she kept interrupting our conversation. I think that's about 7-8 times too many check-ins over the course of a 1.5 hour dinner. Now to the food which was all VERY expensive: - popover and butter (complementary) - 4/5 - clam chowder - 3/5, $13 for a cup of chowder is a LOT to pay and while i did enjoy the flavor overall, there was an addition (not mentioned in the chowder description) of a swirl of chili oil on the side of the chowder. I did not mix it into the chowder and realized later when I had a burning sensation across the middle of my tongue that it likely from a line of chili oil. This was not a pleasant sensation and for a while I wondered if I was having an allergic reaction to the chowder. It subsided after about half an hour. I'm not sure why adding chili oil to New England clam chowder is a good thing and it also wasn't listed as an ingredient on the menu. If there had been no chili oil, I would have given the chowder a 5/5 for flavor. - 2025 Claw Down Winner Lobster Bite - 4/5, $18 is a LOT to pay for a tiny silver dollar pancake with some creme and a few bites of lobster on top. Maybe it's the caviar that drives that price but I did not think it was worth the cost (but it did meet my goal of having lobster every day in Maine) - goat cheese and peach salad - 5/5, I loved the tiny little fried goat cheese balls and the ratio of goat cheese to spring lettuce to peaches was good with a light dressing. I would have liked a little more greens and a little less radicchio in the spring lettuce ratio though. - halibut - 4/5, it was a sizable portion of halibut with mashed potatoes and sauteed spinach. Half of the halibut was done well and flavorful, the edges composing the other half though was rather dry and lacking in flavor. Curious. - scallops - 5/5, five scallops which were very flavorful with a celery puree and three halves of a baby carrot. Delicious but minimalist for sure in its size and presentation. this was the best item we had along with the salad. Note 1: we saw all the other tables receive an amuse bouche which looked like a shooter of something but despite all the check-ins from the floor manager and our server we somehow did not receive the amuse bouche. Note 2: It was chilly so we changed our reservation last minute to move into the dining room as opposed to sitting on the deck, which we were very glad about as it did not appear they have any heaters on the deck which we definitely had in the past times we've dined on the deck when it wasn't even as cold as 60 degrees (as it was last night) For the price and over-service (my husband tried to avoid engaging with the floor manager for the third time when we exited the restaurant but we were intercepted), and good but not great food, I'm not sure we'll be making a point to return to Coastal Prime next time we're in town.

The interior looks a bit old and run down. We had lunch here with friends and everything started out OK with ordering, but things went down hill. First, cocktails were weak and not very good. I had a margarita which tasted like straight up mix from a bottle, little or no tequila. Essentially not drinkable. Our friends ordered a bowl of chilli and a shrimp entree, while we ordered a couple of sushi rolls. Our friends food was delivered promptly, but our sushi was not served for another solid 10+ minutes. Server never came, so eventually I went in to find her after 10 minutes went by without food. She was nowhere to be found, so I mentioned this to another waiter, who looked confused, and said he would let her know. A few minutes later she came and said that sushi takes long to prepare. No apology, and by that time our friends were just about done with their lunch, when our rolls came out. All in all, the food was not pretty good, but the experience was poor. There was no excuse as the restaurant wasn't even that busy. I can't say we can recommend this restaurant, or that we would return.

The most memorable dishes were the shrimp, sausage, and fennel appetizer as well as the seafood platter. The app comes served in a fresh butter sauce full of spices as well as perfectly grilled bread (wish there was more baguette bread to dip in the yummy sauce). My mom and I split the seafood platter which was perfect for us as it comes with potato's and veggies. You have the option to get it fried, grilled, broiled, or blackened. We got it grilled but wished we got it blackened. I had never had a cooked oyster before and it was sooooo delicious. Mine Oyster is a great casual place for family dinners as they have an enormous menu with so many options. They also have a lengthy wine and drink menu.
