Doors open at 11am on Tuesday, April 28, and all the favourite dishes - burgers, fried chicken and Detroit-style pizza - will be available for takeaway and delivery.
Grease Monkey's managing director Nick Tuckwell said he'd been blown away by the support they'd been getting in Braddon and through the food truck in Woden in these tough times.
"Without this support from our town, we wouldn't be able to open the doors on our new venue and we're hoping Gungahlin gets behind us as well," he said.
As far as the menu goes, expect more of the same American-style food, with a selection of local and international beers and wine. While restrictions are in place, you can take away six-packs of beer with your burgers and pizza.
The new venue has enabled Grease Monkey to keep on as many staff as possible during the lockdown.
"We're lucky that we're able to give some of our people a new job that they might not otherwise have had, which is really satisfying for us at the moment," Tuckwell said.
"We want to thank everyone for their continued support, from those who order our food, to our staff working behind the counter or grill."
Since opening on Lonsdale Street in 2015, Grease Monkey has served more than one million of its signature burgers. Last year it introduced Detroit-style pizza to the menu as well.
Once restrictions are lifted, Gungahlin will be given the full Greasy experience, with room for 150 people, a cosy beer garden built for all seasons, live sport on big-screen TVs, eight craft beer and cider taps, a curated wine list, shake specials and live DJs.
The exterior showcases the custom street art from graffiti artist Geoff Filmer of Graffik Paint, which is a feature of the Braddon venue.
