We were there on 12/2/2007. Since that is during the after Thanksgiving before Christmas lull in the keys we had no wait at all! We had the nachos for 1 but it's huge! It has their homemade chili and it is very good. Had I known the chili was that good I would have had that without the chips. We also split the grouper sandwich which was perfectly cooked. The Pizza smelled and looked delicious but we didn't get any. We also had some of their beer which was good as well. We had great service and left our dollar on the wall. We had seen this on Dirty Jobs and just had to go and it was worth the job. We came down from Marathon about a 20 minute drive but well worth it.

Good luck finding this place without a GPS. We only happened by on our way to the Old Wooden Bridge Cottages. In fact, it is only a block from the Old Wooden Bridge; so if you’re staying there, plan to have a meal at the No Name Pub at least once. Not only because the pizza really is very good, but also because of the added benefit not having to drive (wink wink).

When we walked in, we were met by the same attitude that you encounter throughout the keys; if you’re not a local, then you get an absent smile and nearly vacant service.

The Royal Pub pizza seems overpriced at $18.99 for a 12”, but it is delicious. Cut into 8 slices it could easily be shared by four people. My only complaint is that soda refills are not complimentary. Absurd, but not the end of the world.

Yes, nearly every inch of available wall space is covered by signed or otherwise decorated dollar bills. We excused ourselves from this particular tradition. You’ll notice that many bars throughout the Keys (and Florida in general) similarly decorated.

The food is expensive, but it is good.

If you’re staying on, or visiting Big Pine Key (or No Name Key), include the No Name Pub in your plans. However, I wouldn’t make a special trip.

This place has great food, and was worth the wait. The day we were there was rainy, so no outdoor seating was available. When we first arrived, we were asked to wait outside (to avoid having too many people inside) if we didn't want to sit at the bar (which we didn't want to do with a small child). So we stood outside with others while it was sprinkling. When it started raining harder, they finally let us come inside to a small hallway until our table was ready. But like I said, the food was good. My advice would be to avoid going there during bad weather.

i shouldn't tell anyone this because we have to wait in line now to get in to our favorite place in the keys. you have to see it to believe it but once you go you'll never forget it.
