The new venue will be located on Byres Road in the west end - the space previously occupied by Rum Bongo.
In a post on Instagram staff have hailed the site as their largest venue yet with 120 covers inside and 40 outside.
The diner also has a late license and will be open until 1am with DJ sets from Thursday to Sunday.
The menu is set to feature many Thundercat favourites including Chicago-style deep dish pizzas, smash burgers and chilli dogs.
And unique to the new ThunderDog venue is the buttermilk fried chicken dogs - inspired by Buck's Bar's chicken burger menu.
The team aims to keep prices low, with drinks deals from £3 and pints from £4.50. Main meals will start from £8.50.
