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.
