Beertown: Toronto, Ontario

Beertown is located in downtown Toronto and has wonderful indoor seating, away from hornets. Hornets are pretty spooky. They just do this flying swoopy thing and you never know when they might sting or just have a sniff of your food and drink. Beertown Loaded Nachos - September 2026 Distribution of Toppings The distribution of toppings was almost perfect. It doesn't look like a lot of toppings like the other places we went to in Toronto but Beertown is one of those places where they don't have to load the nachos to the extreme for them to be good. Quality Oh my goodness gracious! Homemade salsa! I'm usually not one to really eat the salsa when I have nachos because I prefer guacamole and sour cream, but this time I ate up all that salsa. It reminded me of the homemade salsa recipe I make at home. I really love that they put the dips on the side (which allows me to be in control of which dips I eat, and how much). There was lots of cheese and fresh tomatoes, green onions, ba...

The Lower Ledge Gastropub: Doaktown, New Brunswick

The Lower Ledge Gastropub is located on 30 Ledges Inn Lane in Doaktown, New Brunswick. It has a beautiful view of the water for diners to enjoy along with some good comfort food. I usually order other things to get a good variety, but from time to time, I do order their nachos so that I can do some research for the blog.

Distribution of Toppings

The distribution of toppings was pretty fair this time around. There was no picture to show the lack of distribution in 2024.  

Quality

I really enjoyed the taste of the cheese. As you can see from the photo, there was only orange cheddar cheese on these nachos. For best nacho results, normally another cheese is blended in like a nice jack and/or mozza that really holds together when partially melted, but this cheddar still really worked in the taste department. However, I would like to note that there were some shreds of cheese hanging around not melted and we could have used more cheese this time around. The chips were crunchy and salty and there was a great amount of veggies used including diced red onion and green and red peppers. This pub has a beautiful atmosphere both because of its prime location and the attractive modern décor, which also contributes to the quality of the nacho experience.

Value

The Lower Ledge Nachos are $16. If you make the nachos one layer, they are $11. If you add chicken, BBQ chicken, or taco beef, it is $5 extra. The value is very good considering the quality and the distribution of toppings. I like the option of having the smaller size if you're on vacation and are not as hungry but just want a snack.

Quantity

We ordered the nachos to share as a meal, and said we would order wings afterwards if we were still hungry. There was no plate of wings required after these nachos.

Service

The service was very friendly and efficient!

Conclusion

While these nachos were tasty and the value is great, the distribution of toppings was fair and the chip-cheese ratio was a bit off. These were pretty decent nachos, but I think the best thing to order at Lower Ledge Gastropub is probably their steak or burgers. They make a great rare steak there. I always enjoy coming here with friends during our annual trip when we go river tubing down the Miramichi.
