The business serves up a range of items including classic fish and chips, pies, pasties, sandwiches and butties.
To mark the official opening, 100 lucky punters who were first through the door were treated to orders for just 45p.
The rest of the day’s scran was also slashed by 50 per cent to mark the occasion.
Footage shared online shows dozens of families eagerly anticipating the launch of the restaurant.

Taking to social media following the launch, staff wrote: “A huge thank you to everyone that joined us this weekend!
“Lots of positive reviews and community support.”
A description of the new restaurant reads: “The new Edinburgh Ocean Terminal restaurant has a modern feel but still with the traditional taste to take you back to your childhood memories.
“Ocean Terminal is an airy, contemporary waterfront mall with mainstream stores, modern dining, 24-hour gym, 12-screen Vue Cinema and top tourist attraction – The Royal Yacht Britannia.”
The chippy is open seven days a week between 12pm and 10pm.
Mother Hubbard’s flagship branch is located at Glasgow Quay.
