We were never expecting real Cajun food in Malta, but the consistency and quality of the food just seems to be off. There are quality ingredients used and the portions are generous but we’ve cooked much better Cajun following recipes in our own kitchen. Some of the more regional food like the mac and cheese with buffalo chicken was quite good. I only got pick up but the lighting and mood in the restaurant seemed much more like a bar/club than a nice sit down restaurant.

Super hot day, saw a parking lot band, waitress made sure we had water!! Fun fun fun, cold beer, refreshing beverages, only had a few bites of food, can’t make an honest call on that. Made a joke of needing a umbrella, they brought us one!! Sure helped on a hot day!

I have been going to Nanola since they opened their doors and always enjoyed the food. However over the past couple of years the place has become more of a club than restaurant. They do have top notch music acts and really pack them in at night. The downside of that is he restaurant has become just mediocre. In the past month or so I had an average at most burger and my recent Sausage Po Boy was just a gooey mess that tasted of little other than the sauce. The roll is key to a Po Boy and this one just had no substance to support the juicy sandwich. Sweet Potato fries were on point. The beer selection at Nanola is outstanding although tilts a little too much in the direction of the trendy IPA market but that is just a personal opinion backed by only a few. I believe there are 24 beers on tap so there is plenty to choose from. The service in the afternoon and early evening is outstanding at the bar, as it fills late it can be hectic and unorganized. This is still a great establishment but they have morphed to a night spot over being a restaurant and it is getting dated in the atmosphere. Behind the bar was once a very classy display and now sort of hodge podge.

Had veggie burger and wife had pulled pork with sweet potato fries. Meal was generous and very good.

We were here to listen to a jazz band and eat dinner. I have to say that our waiter was very attentive and provided great service. Unfortunately, the food wasn’t very good. I had the burger which was okay. The French fries were very good (skinny and crispy). My wife and another friend ordered the gumbo which was a bit too spicy and not hot (temperature wise). Another friend ordered the sausage poboy which he said wasn’t very good. So overall it was a fail on the meals so we won’t be coming back.
