I've just discovered NND and only had the turkey burger. But babaaaeee, it's amazing!!! Soooo good!!!
Parking: Super friendly. There is a difference between the downtown and the Forest Dr. store. A little colder atmosphere and my burger wasn't as good.

Absolutely amazing! Melissa opened the door as I was trying to come in with baby, bags and all. She got my tray and cup for me. Helped with food recommendations, as well! Was such a blessing! Really appreciated her!

We ordered a chicken patty melt and vegetable soup to share and it was fantastic. The entire experience was amazing. We got there right as the doors opened. The staff was courtesy and very helpful as it was our first time. We also ordered a Greek chicken salad to go and they even put the chicken in a separate container to keep it fresh. It’s a great find, nice, clean, and solid service. 100% what you think about when you think of the word deli. We will be back!

10 more years later. I tried no name again after not being here for 10 years still with the idea that it serves the best pimento cheese sandwich on the East Coast and I was let down all over again. Maybe I'm just being nostalgic and remembering the past better than it was but something about this place has changed for the worst. Frankly I think pre-made pimento cheese might have been better and I could have turned it into a better sandwich. And the prices have gone up from moderate to expensive. Who's to say what will happen in 10 years but the way it looks this will be my last visit.
Old Review: Used to be much better about 10 years ago and I haven't been at the place since around 2004. Seems to have changed owners since the really hyper man who always manned the register wasn't there yesterday. The food just wasn't as good as it once was. It wasn't bad and the menu was pretty much the same. The restaurant was exactly the same- same hectic line, same lovely mural on the wall, same delicious flavored teas. I'll tell you what was different though that I really didn't like and would keep me away if I lived here still:. The soup was WAY too salty and what's with the Bible verses on the napkin dispensers?

Went to No Name for the first time today, at their new Forest Acres location. Can’t comment on the original location but this location was clean and well lit, and fairly crowded but cleared out pretty quickly as we were there at the end of the lunch rush. I like their line/ordering system, it keeps things fast and it’s cool to see the sandwiches being made. The food was solid, and the prices make it taste better lol. The Turkey Club is definitely worth a try, but it does fall apart easily so if that bothers you get something else. Their fries are good too, not too greasy, crispy, and salted well. Our server got our order incorrect (order one sandwich for here and one to go, both clubs one without mayo), but he was very receptive and nice and swiftly corrected his mistake while letting us keep the incorrect order which we gave to a friend. The food isn’t necessarily anything to write home about but in combination with the prices, convenience, and atmosphere it’s worth the trip.

After reading rave reviews and a piece in SC Only, two friends and I checked out the No Name Cafe while in town. It was the worst food I have ever tasted and this is coming from a person who has eaten dragonfly larvae, etc. My friends agreed. They said the lemon chicken soup tasted like vomit and their cornbread too dry to eat.. My salad was slimy, the chicken in it rock hard and the cornbread tasted rancid. We didn’t eat much but I got REALLY SICK. It is New Years Day and I am so disappointed that I am unable to eat the feast the rest of the family is enjoying. I rarely write a review unless something is exceptional, but I felt an obligation since I ended up there because of reviews.
Parking: We were delighted to find the parking lot full, assuming that meant the food would be good, so we waited for a spot.
