About Jay's Burger Bar

This Myrtleford roadside joint dishes out serious, hearty burgers built to refuel mountain-bound travelers. Skiers and road-trippers passing through the Ovens Valley make it their ritual pit stop—tucking into thick, juicy beef patties stacked with beetroot, double-fried chips, and golden onion rings. The kitchen handles diverse dietary requests just as seriously, turning out gluten-free buns and crisp vegan cauliflower burgers without hesitation. Pair your lunch with a chilled can from the fridge, stocked with around 15 local craft beers.

  • Dietary-friendly options: Keep the whole crew fed with dedicated gluten-free buns and plant-based builds like the vegan cauliflower burger.
  • Local craft tinnies: The drinks fridge is stacked with roughly 15 regional craft beers in cans to wash down your burger.
  • Alpine transit refuel: A staple pit stop for drivers heading up to Mt Buffalo, Falls Creek, and Mt Hotham.
