This place had some of the best Whoopi pies at one time but now they suck. Don't know why but the owner should look into this problem.

This family-run shop is quite the sweet treat with its incredible array of delicious baked goods!I was drawn in by the sign advertising fresh pumpkin donuts and they were super tasty - the texture was light, fluffy and had a crunch from the brown sugar crust. It went especially well with coffee. The blueberry pie had an incredibly delicious buttery crust and sweet local blueberries which created the perfect flavor combo. Hands down my favorite blueberry pie I've tried. Also tried the whoopie pie and pumpkin bread. Again, both were very fluffy, balanced sweetness, and great flavor. The pumpkin bread went really well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. All the baked goods I tried were baked to perfection: just the right texture and not dense or overly sweet.I wish I had the chance to try some of their lunch options before my stay in Boothbay was over - I heard from folks in town that the lobster roll is great. I eagerly await my next trip to Boothbay so I can try the lobster roll and more from Phil's.

Amazing everything!

This 50-year old family business has always been an important part of our visits to Boothbay. The whoopie and key lime pies are the best you’ll ever have! Please note: Uncle Phil’s is not related to the food trucks and ice castle next door. It’s an entirely separate and very special business.

Phil's niece has been running the place for the last few years. She is very friendly and efficient. Last summer when I ordered a lobster roll, I found that it was different from years past. Instead of using small chunks of meat (from the body portion of the lobster, I believe), they are using the more traditional Iarger chunks of claw and tail meat. I chose the mayo based dressing. It was very tasty. The other choice was a drizzle of melted butter I enjoyed my lobster roll, but I did really miss the old recipe. The price has gone up significantly. I have not had a chance to sample the wood fired pizza. I absolutely love their whoopie pies.

I believe this business goes by "Uncle Phil's" now. Right on rte 27 before getting to boothbay center. Simple exterior belies rich sumptuous flavors and farm to table freshness to put chez Penisse en garde. Went looking for affordable lobster roll, but switched to 10" wood fired pizzas. Leave your NY pizza attitude at the curb. Your favorite local never fail pizza joint is probably fine, but don't let that put you off trying this spot. We had a Pesto pizza with garlic scapes and zucchini from their own certified organic garden, and a chorizo, feta, and kalamata olives pizza, both on the lightest, thick and fluffy pizza dough in irregular shapes. This is not thin and crispy, but neither is it the thick, pasty, lazy dough you might fear. As I said, it's an unassuming place to look at. Our picnic table was in what looks like a car shed where the wood oven is installed among some other equipment. Pizzas were about $13 each and were not small. The three of us brought back left overs. Ppl very nice. Don't expect linen service, just expect the best pizza you'll have in this county.

This is a bit of a tease because the ice castle won't be around much longer. But, keep it in mind for 2022. The business owners of food a go, who run food trucks for Garden's Aglow built this ice castle themselves to give people something unique to do in Maine. The structure was really nice and the food afterwards was really tasty.

Interesting food selection lobster roll was a Connecticut style not a Maine Style, butter instead of mayonnaise but it was good

We got in an accident in front of their place they were awsome
First it was Phil, than Mike, and now a relative runs it. But the lobster roll is still one of the best around. It comes on a heated roll with a bit of butter. Dining is outside on the porch or at a picnic table. It is outside of the busy town so very convenient when arriving or leaving Boothbay.

We go here often when we want a quick sandwich without visiting an ATM. The people are always friendly and willing to make changes to any order. Best of all you can take your pet. I only wish the would have more vegetarian options!
