No Name Restaurant
What Our Expert Scouts Say
May 12, 2013
The No-Name restaurant is not admired for its decor. Or its cookery. Or its service. It is essentially a delivery system for the freshest fish in Boston. That's why it's on a fish pier and lacks a name. And why you need to go there.

The No Name is a wonderful place to get a great fish dinner at a very reasonable price.

Came here on a business trip and was advise by a friend to come here. Glad we did; awesome food, big portions. The lobster is great and really well priced!

Pass on this one ....really!!!.
The local tour guides recommend this restaurant. The seafood chowder was packed with bland mushy over cooked white fish and two small shrimp. The coleslaw had no flavor; the grilled seafood platter was disappointing with one scallop, two small shrimp, over cooked small pieces of sword fish, scrod and salmon. The 12 oz. can of diet coke was warmer than the french fries. The kid’s hamburgers appeared to be a Sysco Food product, they were large, reported to be dry and bland.
This is your classic tourist trap restaurant, the locals push and promote it, few locals ever eat there, this place is all about quick through-put, friendly enough employees, remember to bring in your parking lot ticket in for validation.

The worst restaurant I've ever experienced!!!. My sister was in town and suggested we go to the NO Name restaurant as she hadn't been there since she moved out of Boston and bragged about how awesome the food and service was. Since I've never been I was looking forward to a nice meal and couldn't wait to check it out. Upon arrival we were told "go upstairs the downstairs area is closed". Okay...... on our way upstairs there was a very fowl odor that turned my stomach and I knew this was a bad idea. Why did we not go to Anthonys ??? We were greeted by the staff having lunch and was told to sit anywhere we wanted. Extremely UNWELCOMING and RUDE. Eventually a waiter came over and handed us our menus. My menu had grease stains on it and when I brought it to his attention he just looked at me and shrugged his shoulders. The floor was filthy with napkins everywhere. After receiving cold and stale bread we ordered our meal praying it would be fine. My salmon was awful. Very slimmy and fatty. I had to argue to get a piece of corn with it as it ONLY COMES WITH THE LOBSTER!!! We had enough and paid our bill. Of course, as most people do, we went to the restroom before departing and it was just as dark and gloomy as the restaurant. The icing on the cake was that only one sink had water. This place should be on punked!!! DO NOT DINE AT THE NO NAME RESTAURANT!!! YOU'LL BE SORRY..........

No name , No return.
We were there from New York at yesterday, I was thinking about Boston lobster is best than New York,but that make me feel bad , after I order the lobster at No Name.That was a "water lobster",that mean when you open that lobster , a lot of water will be come out from the lobster,that was a really bad feeling to me from No Name.
That seafood plate was bad too , don't feel that taste good.
Never think you will get the Good seafood at No Name.
The last thing,The order of steak is good for me,that still have one think that make me feel good !

Basic Seafood - Interesting atmosphere. I have taken the family there many times. We always get the fried fish and chowder. The fish is just ok but the chowder is better. I would like to see it more clean.

In the Mid '80s. I haven't been to 'No Name' in Boston since the mid '80s when I worked for Digital Equipment. Today my wife and I were watching 'The Best Places I've Eaten' on Travel Channel. My wife asked me of the best place I had eaten and "No Name" was the first and ONLY place I thought of. A bunch of us guys from DEC school would load up and drive in from the housing complex Digital rented for us engineers. I went there at least once every year when the company would send me to the Boston area for trainning.

Long Walk off Short Pier.
In a city with so many great restaurants, how has this place hung on for so long? Let's cut to the chase...
Pros : Fish chowder, French fries, Friendly Waitstaff, Availability
Cons : Bland fried food, dry broiled fish, Found hair in coleslaw
Tourists beware...so many to chose from, you might want to take this one off the list.
