The owners of Scotland’s first Fatburger takeaway restaurant have revealed it will open in just two weeks time in Dundee.
Fatburger and Buffalo’s Express will open at 26-28 Reform Street on Tuesday January 22 at 11am.
The brand, which was established in southern California around 70 years ago, is expected to become a big hit with fast food fans from across the city and beyond.

“German Doner Kebab is now well-established and is a firm favourite among diners of all ages.
“Fatburger Buffalo offers an all-American treat as an alternative to what is currently available and we expect it to join GDK as a popular place to eat out in the town centre.”
To complement Fatburger’s menu, Buffalo’s Express offers hand-prepared, boneless and bone-in chicken wings and salads, with a choice of 13 different sauces ranging from mild to scorchin’.
It is billed as a fast-casual restaurant serving big burgers crafted specifically to each customer’s liking, with a legacy going back to 1952.

However, in the last few years Blend coffee shop, German Doner Kebab, Project Pizza, Asian fusion restaurant Dai Pai, and Japanese spot Su Sushi have all opened, breathing new life into the area,
