FORT PIERCE, Fla. -- A popular restaurant in Fort Pierce won't be serving meals for a few days following a fire.

The blaze took place at the Chucky Ducky restaurant on Avenue D.

Reports say a barbeque grill ignited a screen porch in the back of the restaurant.

Owner Randolph Scott said, "We've been here 21 years and nothing like this has ever happened so I'm just thankful to God that it didn't get inside the building... no damage inside the building and so I'm able to continue to work and that's a blessing."

Scott expects the restaurant to reopen on Tuesday.
