On July 27, 2005 in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Hunter's Ale House opened its doors, and for years, has been showing tourists and islanders a good time. Hunter's ensures that you leave fully entertained by their live music and satisfied with their delicious food. One of their specialties is their nachos, with 7 different plates of nachos to choose from:
Distribution of Toppings
In the past, the chip to cheese ratio was a problem at Hunter's Ale House. At our recent visit, we ordered extra cheese. The beef was mostly in the centre and not all around the chips. Thus, the overall distribution of toppings was not perfect, but I was happy with the cheese distribution.
Value
The Bacon Cheeseburger Nachos are $22.99. If you add extra cheese, it is $3.99 extra. If you add extra toppings, it is $.79 extra. If you add an extra salsa or sour cream, it is $1.49 extra. There doesn't seem to be an option for sizes now. There are regular sizes only. I think this was a good price considering we were in a touristy area of Charlottetown, the good distribution of toppings, the great taste, and the excellent service.
Service
We have been going to Hunter's Ale House for years now and we have always had great service.
Conclusion
I always look forward to visiting Hunter's Ale House when I am in Charlottetown. It's a vibrant atmosphere and they consistently serve a solid plate of nachos. The only thing I would change with their nachos is to add some seasonings and spread the beef around more. That would make them an excellent nacho.

Quality
The chips were tasty and had a spice sprinkled on them. The vegetables, though they were a bit sparse, tasted fresh. The beef was moist yet could have used a bit more seasoning. They do use a nice cheese blend which is a key component in all great nachos. When you order extra cheese, they really give you plenty of cheese. The cheese is always tasty but has no spices added to it. The Classic Nachos are veggie nachos that feature green onions, jalapeño, and tomatoes. The jalapeños were very spicy and the veggies were very flavorful.
