A Floridian suggested we try it so we did

Jan 2020 • none

This place really is our of the way, but google maps knows how to get there, so never fear. There was a 35-minute wait for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. You can buy a bottle of beer and sit outside while you wait. The inside is kinda cave-like, with thousands of dollar bills attached to the walls, ceilings, poles, every available surface. We were seated outside at a picnic table in the ginormous tiki bar. Our server, although busy, was friendly, capable and attentive. The conch chowder was nothing special and the shrimp and green onion pizza (pizza is their specialty) was interesting. The pink key west shrimp were perfectly cooked, the sauce was tasty, there was plenty of cheese, and the doughy crust was very undercooked. Can't say we were especially impressed, but we didn't regret the detour. On the way back we spotted several Key deer, so that made our day.

Greeted by Christin at the door for lunch. Had a great time reading the the dollar bills stapled everywhere. The non name amber was very refreshing and the souvenir pint glass was very reasonable. Coconut shrimp were good. The white shrimp pie (we had small, stretched) was great for 2 and super tasty with fresh shrimp and tomatoes.

Another visit to an old favorite

Jan 2020 • couples

We went back to the pub again to introduce some friends to the place. Their jaws dropped as soon as entered due to the overwhelming view of cash covering every single wall and the ceiling, layer upon layer added over the years. Aside from that awesome reaction, the food is delicious here too. We began with the smoked fish spread (which we highly recommended) and a basket of onion rings . Three of us enjoyed the fish spread and we all enjoyed the onion rings, which our friends declared to be the best they had ever had. Maddie and I split the HUGE grouper sandwich with tartar sauce and silver dollar fries, while our husbands ordered a burger with provolone, sautéed onions and mushrooms with lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise and the silver dollar fries and a Philly cheesesteak sandwich, which Dave declared his cheesesteak to be as good as he gets in Philly. We had leftovers to take with us and all of us left stuffed. And we got to see Key deer!!! BTW, don’t forget about the pizza. We couldn’t order everything, so we had to forget the pizza for this visit.

Long wait, iconic place.

Mar 2022 • family

On a Monday night at 7pm we waited about 45 minutes for a table for four. I should have listened to the waitress and gotten the shrimp cerviche and the shrimp pizza, but I wanted to try conch, so I got the conch fritters and the seafood platter. Wow, lots of deep fried food. You couldn’t really taste the conch in the fritters, and the seafood plate was like 1/2 fried clams. Just the grouper and shrimp would have been plenty. And the circle fries were nothing special. Oh well, listen to the waitstaff!!! The kids loved writing on a dollar bill and stapling it to the wall…definitely a must do on Big Pine Key.

Absolutely fabulous! We had rueben sandwich and grilled tuna sandwich, both came with silver dollar fries. Best tuna I’ve ever had. The pitcher of beer seems to be the best deal, try the No Name Amber. Service matched the food!

Worst restaurant on Big Pine Key

Feb 2020 • none

Styrofoam plates, cheap plastic cutlery, Soggy undercooked and overpriced pizza. "Beer Batter" on fish and chips order was a thin hard crust and no Cole Slaw even though menu advertised Slaw. This place was once a cool Keys attraction, now it is an overpriced waste of time and money with terrible food. Never going back, avoid it or you will be disappointed.

No Name - last visit for us

Feb 2020 • couples

This was probably our 20th year/time visiting No Name. How disappointed in the ownership and management. This has turned into a tourist trap, slow service,terrible food and overpriced beer. The pizza used to be hand tossed and delicious. The crust on our pizza last night was no better than the cardboard tasting crust from the frozen food section of pizzas at the local grocers. Shame on all who have turned this charming little experience and part of Keys history into another exercise in greed at the expense of the consumer.

The most tasteless disgusting

Jul 2020 • none

The most tasteless disgusting and expensive pizza ever!!! If you’re going to sell boxed pizza post it; it’s not fresh no flavor. I’ll share there’s absolutely no social distancing which is great for a sense of our usual lives.... However save your cash don’t go....

Overrated!

Dec 2020 • none

If I had to give this place a name, I'd call it "Overrated"! We heard and read about this place so made it our dinner destination on our way back from Key West. Before we even got to the door we were greeted with "wait here, I'm not sure if there's room". We were then "welcomed" in and taken to a table in a back corner, all of 6 inches from another guest. I wish we would have known about the outdoor seating option but didn't want to make a scene and get up and move once we were already seated. We ordered and got our drinks and waited . . . a long time. It was about an hour for one pizza to arrive and it had the wrong topping on half. When the waitress finally came to check on us I asked if I could have another soda, and before I could even ask for a refill on my son's drink too, she was gone. It really felt like they were doing us a favor by allowing us to eat there but in our opinion, you wouldn't miss much by skipping this place when in the Keys.

Not as good as before

Feb 2021 • none

We like to go to the nnp for fish baskets and this year, the serving size was huge, as always, but the crust was so hard we couldn't get the cheap plastic fork through it. Mine was done, but thick and hard, but my husband's fish was hard as a brick on the outside and almost raw inside. Service wasn't the best, prices were high for what we got and disappointment was great. I don't know that we'll go back down the Keys to eat there again.

35 yrs of going to the Keys, best service so far

Jul 2022 • none

People who are vacationing in the Keys need to understand a little about what they are getting into. The kind of service you are used to getting in any mainland city is pretty rare in the Keys. That is because it is expensive to live there, and server/staff wages are not enough to live on in the Keys. As a result, servers in the Keys are likely to be handling more customers than their mainland counterparts would, on average. This was aggravated recently by two things: Hurricane Irma, and COVID. These factors greatly reduced the availability of affordable housing in the Keys and the number of service employees in the Keys, to the extent that as recently as last year it was common to see "help wanted" signs that said "housing provided." When I visited Robbie's Marina last year, they had several camper trailers set up in the parking lot as staff quarters so they could keep things running. Again, last year, on our way out of the keys to drive home, we looked for some place to find dinner; we were turned away from a couple places because they had to close early due to not having enough staff. That said, we found the No Name Pub last night on an excursion into to the lower keys. We decided to eat there since it was obviously open, rather than try our luck looking for some other place that was still open. We expected the usual Keys service, but were pleasantly surprised with prompt service, despite the place being quite busy. The appetizer (conch fritters) arrived in minutes after ordering, perfectly cooked (actually the best I've had). Our sandwiches arrived before the appetizer was gone. The servers cooperated to make sure food got out, regardless of who took the order. This level of service would be good for most places, but for the Keys it was very impressive, and I've never seen anything like it in my 35 yrs of visiting the Keys (and I have walked out of places for inexcusably bad service). So I give the kitchen staff and servers five stars. The food was good, worth the prices being charged. We ate outside in their covered back area. I would say they could stand to increase air circulation both to improve comfort and hopefully blow away insects. But eating outside in mid-July in the Keys in the late afternoon comes with heat and bugs, so I expected that. I read in other reviews about the host being rude, and the awkward way in which you get seated; I can understand that. The host (a young man) was not rude to us at all, but he was clearly very busy - and alone - trying to accommodate people and doing his best given that several groups had arrived at about the same time. When it comes to the Keys, be patient, and expect a bit of quirkiness. There are so many things to enjoy there, why ruin your visit being upset at overworked affordable restaurant staff.

After hearing such good things about this place from the locals, we were extremely disappointed. We had the lobster spinach dip as an appetizer and it was watery and lacking flavor. We tried a pizza and a burger for entrees and they were fine but nothing special. It was also quite expensive for what you get in our opinion. I wouldn’t go out of your way to make it here.

What a let down

Jul 2020 • family

So many people have told us to check this place out. So we made it a point. From the start the hostess (Christina? Old lady with too much make up) was a snob, we asked how the outdoor seating was and she said we could look so we said ok let's check it out. She stood there and then got an attitude saying I thought I'd follow you... well how would you do that when we dont know where to go. We realized even with their fans outside it was boiling so we said we would eat inside. She rolled her eyes Got a seat and was given a highchair with food cakes up on it. We stood waiting on assistance and it never came. Atleast 20 minutes later we never saw a waitress and decided to go elsewhere. Very disappointed.... worst experience at a restaurant in the keys in the years we have come down her .

Mediocre

Apr 2022 • solo

The fish dip was really tasty, but as others have mentioned, they give you only a few cracker packets and charge you for more. For almost $12 for fish dip, there should be sufficient crackers included with the price and you shouldn’t be charged if you want more. The bar only serves beer and wine based cocktails. I ordered the sangria. It was mediocre, at best. It was also not cold, so is obviously stored not refrigerated. I had to allow it to sit in the ice to become cold enough, and then of course, it became watered down. The host was super friendly and sweet. That’s where the friendliness stopped. My server did a decent job, but they were less than friendly or welcoming. I don’t think I saw one smile from her. The word I would use for the service would be perfunctory. I don’t know if this was because I was alone, but being nicer and friendlier would make someone want to come back. The staff were interacting just fine with each other, but I did not feel at all welcomed and because of that have no desire to come back.
