I went to the No Name about 3 years ago after not going there for well over 20 years and it definitely is NOT the same, sorry folks. Don't even bother. We thought it was a complete and total rip off as the original poster stated about it all. No doubt about it. It used to be located in a little hole in the wall place on the docks, well they moved it upstairs in this other spot and definitely not that great any more. I think they're cute now, if you know what I mean. They cater to bus loads of tourists, which is too bad. There's die hard fans of theres just the same, but I wouldn't step foot back in that place. Not after dining in all the wonderful seafood places all around New England that are out there now more and more!
DreamworksSKG knows his seafood! Those are the exact places we hit too.
Did I see the "Yankee Lobster Company" here any where? Well put that one on your list, it's a hidden gem for seafood, believe me. It's down along the waterfront across from Salvatore's and Legal's Test Kitchen. This wonderful spot even has parking for your car while you're dining there! It's a very small place but they have a little patio area where you can sit having lunch or dinner overlooking Boston Harbor in the warmer months. When it's too cold out they have indoor seating, it's very small as it's also a seafood market too, so inside you're bumping in to the seafood glass case as you walk in, that's how small it is here, but GO there just the same for lunch some day or even dinner, I heard they close at 8PM but they don't rush any one out, you won't be disappointed. It's also got reasonable prices here too, so remember this place. You're definitely NOT going to break the bank or anything here, you know how a lot of those places can be. Well this is a hidden gem, it's awesome, so don't forget to stop here if you're ever along the waterfront and don't want to go to Morton's Steakhouse where it can be close to $150 and up a person for your meal, I kid you NOT! We know people from Texas, from Colorado and out in California that have all been to the Yankee Lobster Company, they get deals on their twin lobster dinners! Hey, they're no fools, they're pretty smart going here instead of Legal's or anywhere else where they cutely jack up alot of the prices, always remember that Legal's started in Cambridge in a little place with red & white plastic table cloths on picnic tables and a chalkboard with their specials, always remember that! So check this out some day folks, like I said, it's a gem, a hidden one in Boston. You in fact better check it out quick, they're putting a 3 story Legal's Seafood Restaurant right smack where the old Jimmy's Harborside restaurant was located, so hopefully this wonderful Yankee Lobster Company will stay in business above and beyond the chains flying up everywhere!

You know, further up the coast if you're out and about and wondering where else to go for great seafood, up near the Kittery Outlets? There's Bob's Clam Hut in Kittery, ME., if you happen to be out shopping for the kids back to school clothes! MUCH better than what's across the road up there, I wouldn't even bother going to that other place up there, directly across from Bob's. There's also Robert's Maine Grill, that's a great place too, do you know they're the same owners as that wonderful Bob's Clam Hut? Well they are, so get with the program with your seafood joints! This Robert's got a beautiful deck outside, but you can't sit out there when the bugs are around later on in the day. A lot of people prefer to sit inside because of it, so remember that:
Intro
Robert's Maine Grill
Then there's Chauncey Creek in Kittery Point, Maine which is quite good. It's the exit before the Outlets, here's good directions:
Take Exit 2 in Maine to the Kittery Traffic Circle. Exit circle after Dairy Queen onto 236 South. 236 South becomes 103 East. Follow for approximately 4.5 miles. After passing Citgo station on right, bear right at next fork onto Chauncey Creek Road. (See road sign).
Here you sit out at a picnic table, you bring your own cooler IF you know what I mean, a lot of people would rather do that when they go for their lobsters and steamers or fried food. It's reminds us alot of Brown's in Seabrook along Rte 286 the way it's set up:
Brown's Seabrook Lobster Pound
Chauncey Creek
You know another "good one" to hit? Bob Lobster on the way to and from Plum Island. Another excellent seafood spot to hit!
Bob Lobster Home
Don't forget any of the Kelly's Roast Beef's too! There scallops and other seafood on their menu is quite good and always was thru the years....
Jimmy's Steer House in Saugus doesn't just have steak on their menu that's great, they also have wonderful seafood too. Sometimes a few of us around here will head there just to strictly get their seafood on their sweet menu of theres! That's how great it is, so see that? It doesn't matter where you get your seafood when you're in New England, it's all over the place. There crabmeat pie @ Jimmy's Steer House is out of this world good. Yes, there's a lot of old timers that go here, yes it gets packed on weekends and a lot of times at night, so you time it right that's all. Sit in the bar instead of the main dining room or something, hey that's a sign that it's a good place, so always remember that! They have the best best stuffed shrimp, lobster pie, salmon, scallops florintine and baked stuffed scrod here, you'd enjoy it. These people are the same owners as the Jimmys in Arlington, as that Grassfields up in Andover in that plaza along No. Main Street and Nick & Tony's in Danvers along Rte 114. All quite good with phenomenal fresh & white marvelous seafood choices on their menu, so if you wanted to sit down and get served by a great waitstaff, then go to one of these places, if you just wanted to sit at a picnic table then go to any of these others mentioned, that's the difference....
Just my two cents again so have a great day, enjoy the weather out there!

We went to "No Name Restaurant" so you don't have to.

okay, I thought you guys were being secretive and trying to avoid a lawsuit by not naming the place! I know CD has a thing about not posting rants against businesses. not really the best name for a seafood joint, IMO. funny, I've never heard of the place. checked it out on yelp and it hasn't gotten great reviews. guys I'll avoid it on my next trip to Boston (which, alas, won't be til winter so I'll miss all the great seafood joints on the Cape)
