Peppers Pub, Saint John, N.B.

Peppers Pub (part of Lemongrass Thai Fare) is located on the boardwalk in Saint John, New Brunswick. I think their competitive advantage is their Thai food. I had many plates of Shrimp Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles at Lemongrass before I got to try the nachos. Their nachos are always very delicious and have been in the hometown top ten for some time now.

Distribution of Toppings

They put plenty of curry sauce on these nachos, which are made with wonton chips. I would say there were toppings on every chip. There was nothing to complain about when it came to the distribution of toppings.

Quality

These nachos continue to have a lot of kick to them. I think that Peppers wants us to have a lot of their drinks to quench our thirst while we enjoy these nachos. 

After I had Peppers' nachos for the first time, I had to look up a definition of nachos. By definition, nachos are tortilla chips topped with melted cheese and often additional savory toppings. These are curry nachos which is different from the other nachos in Saint John. These nachos do not have much in the way of melted cheese, instead relying on the curry sauce to act almost like a queso. These nachos are topped with some vegetables including green and red onion, peppers, and a decent amount of Thai red curry with a chicken option, with some bits of partially melted shredded cheese sprinkled throughout.  

Value

The Veggie Curry Nachos cost $18 and if you add chicken, they are $4 more. If you are looking for something other than traditional nachos, these are worth $18 + $4 for chicken. The quantity has increased over the years as you can tell from the 2016 photo.

Quantity

I think they are sufficient to share as a meal. Peppers has increased their quantity by quite a bit in the past 10 years - and I give them kudos for that.  

Conclusion

It is more challenging to rate nachos that are so non-traditional, because they have a unique charm. I would recommend them if you really love Thai curry and you are looking for something different (with a great craft beer selection!). However, I really love that traditional nacho. I will conclude with the fact that they are very tasty, and are great to have with some drinks because they do have a kick.
