Not much is left of a Belton restaurant after it went up in flames Sunday night, just months before it was set to open.
Multiple crews helped the Belton Fire Department fight the massive flames at Texas Roadhouse off Peculiar Rd.

The fire broke out around 11:30 p.m. The restaurant was under construction at the time and had not been completed yet.
No one was hurt.
According to a Texas Roadhouse spokesperson, there is more than a $1 million in damages which will cause a 4-month delay from its original opening date.
The store is now planning to open in August instead of May, but further evaluation of damages could push back the start date even later.
Crews are now starting the investigation into how it happened.
"Due to the large loss of the high profile building, we're going to have the state Fire Marshal's Office and the ATF here to help investigate with us," said Belton Fire Chief Norman Larkey.
Larkey said crews had to fight the fire from the street because the parking lot hadn't been built yet.
