The fire was contained to Pappas, and no other buildings were damaged. No one was inside at the time of the fire, and no injuries were reported. 

"It's a neighborhood staple. The New Smyrna Beach area, everybody knows Pappas Drive-In restaurant. It's a common place for everybody to come around and hang out," Sarwi said about the restaurant, which opened in 1970. "Has a lot of history to it. One of the oldest drive-in restaurants around. … And that movie that was just filmed here a couple weeks ago, a couple months ago, and so a lot of history here, so it's gonna be a lot of broken hearts for missing a neighborhood staple."
