They remain in hospital after the blast sparked a mass emergency service response last night.
Cops are probing the cause of the fire after locals reported hearing what they believed was a fireworks “explosion” at the restaurant.
It is understood Halloween fireworks were not the cause of the horror explosion.
No arrests have been made and no one is being sought in connection with the blast.
Anyone with any information is asked to report it online or call 101, quoting serial 1241 of 31/10.
Social media users reported hearing an “explosion” in the restaurant shortly before the incident.
Western Road was temporarily closed while emergency services scrambled to the scene.
A spokeswoman for the fire service said they were called to attend a fire at the restaurant.
American burger chain Wendy’s first opened in Brighton in March 2022.
