If it were just two of us or if we were there to have a meeting then I would probably passive-aggressively ask if they were waiting for an important message. And if they weren't, if they were just checking the phone out of habit and/or boredom, then I wouldn't say anything, I'd just silently vow not to have lunch with the jerk any more.
One time I did have to take a call during lunch out with friends, because I was meeting up with my class partner after lunch to work on a project and her schedule had changed so I needed to coordinate with her. I exchanged the information and ended the call as quickly as possible. ...I hope that wasn't rude.
