New in Joburg! Zuney Wagyu Burger Bar Opens at Nine Yards

Zuney Wagyu Burger Bar has officially opened at Nine Yards, bringing their trendy smashburger concept to Johannesburg. The brand is anchored in transparency, ethical farming and bold flavours from farm to bun.

Zuney Wagyu Burger Bar is expanding its footprint with a fresh opening at the Nine Yards retail precinct in Parktown-North. If you’re not familiar with these guys, they’ve long been a Cape Town favourite for munchworthy smashburgers and effortless cool. Zuney Wagyu Burger Bar began as a Wagyu farm and later evolved into a dedicated burger concept, and now they’re bringing a new take on the smashburger craze to Joburg:

What to expect at Zuney Wagyu Burger Bar

The new venue at Nine Lives boasts both indoor and terrace spaces and will be open seven days a week. What elevates Zuney beyond a typical burger stop is the intentional layering of texture and aroma. The menu is laser-focused on perfecting the art of American-style smash burgers crafted with farm-to-table Wagyu beef, pickles, Wagyu-infused onions and a secret house sauce on a light brioche bun. A vegan burger option rounds out the line-up. Even the sauces are crafted to complement rather than overpower, with a clean finish that leaves you wanting another bite rather than a heavy aftertaste.

From the Zuney Valley to your plate

Zuney Wagyu was founded on the belief that the journey from raise to plate shapes every mouthful. The brand’s promise rests on using only its own ethically raised Wagyu beef, sourced from the lush Zuney Valley farm in the Cape. By overseeing each step of the process — from pasture management and humane handling to direct farm-to-table delivery — Zuney guarantees consistent quality while supporting local communities and environmentally responsible farming practices. This vertical integration yields more than a reliable product; it fosters transparency that diners can taste. The result is burgers with depth, integrity and a distinctive flavour profile that carries the unmistakable imprint of its origin.
