KILMARNOCK residents admit they are excited to see one of the country's fastest-growing food spots open up in the town.
Chilo's, which has branches across the central belt, officially opened its new venue at 2 Stonyhill Avenue on Monday, August 31.
Customers gathered outside ahead of the opening, with a long queue stretching around the street as people waited to be among the first inside.
The opening-day turnout came after Chilo's announced it would be giving away free food between 12pm and 3pm to celebrate the launch.
Some customers waited for up to 40 minutes to get their hands on a free burger as the queue built outside the new venue.
One customer said that he was "just here for the free food", with customers packing out the shop after forming a queue outside.
One woman said: "I like the steak sandwiches, I've tried them before and they're really good.
"There had better be something left cause I'm going to be late for my work."
One man, who was a big fan of the food chain, said it was "worth it" to queue up to grab his favourite meal.
He said: "I usually go to the one up near Kinning Park, so this is more local to me. I'll probably be in here every night now.
"I'll be upset if they sell out."
