Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen at Primrose and Glenstone in Springfield had to delay opening Friday morning after a fire in the kitchen overnight.
Fire crews were called to the restaurant around 12:30 a.m.
They first thought it was a fire on the roof in an HVAC unit, but a battalion chief says kitchen items are what started the flames.
The fire was contained to some appliances, but there was no structural damage to the building.
