An anything but average burger joint in Noosa Junction is celebrating a year of providing the community with some of the most talked about food in town.
Ze Pickle isn’t your typical restaurant, it’s a place you can go for a “unique” burger whilst enjoying the best in craft beers or a wine or cocktail in a vibrant atmosphere.
Two work mates with young families, Jordan Straney and Jai Dobbie, opened Ze Pickle in Noosa a year ago after trying the burgers in Brisbane.
Jordan said they couldn’t believe how good the burgers were and they knew then and there that the Sunshine Coast needed it’s own franchise.
“Jai and I worked together in the same mine crew in Central Queensland and we just used to love Ze Pickle in Fortitude Valley and we would always talk about doing something other than working in the mines, and one day we thought let’s just do it,“ he said.
“We had a few teething issues when we first got up and going as most businesses do, but as of late we’ve been hearing great feedback about the food and service quality from the Noosa community.
“Since being able to have people back in the shop after the Covid lockdown period, it’s just been getting busier and busier and it has really kicked us off for the rest of the year.
“During Covid lockdown both myself and Jai had daughters two days apart and so we are both flat out with our young families.“
Jordan said he still couldn’t find a better burger than Ze Pickle.
“I can’t find a better product out there, it’s just fantastic, and that’s the main reason we wanted to get involved with it,“ he said.
“My favourite is the Double Chee-Ze with jalapenos. Everyone overlooks it because it’s simple, but it’s just really well done.“
Impressing locals and tourists alike, the Noosa restaurant is split down the middle, where you can enter through a cold-room door into a private bar.
“It’s got its own speakeasy style Prohibition bar with its own sound system as a late night spot,“ Jordan said.
“We’ve been really busy with private functions in that area with birthdays, engagements and parties.“
