What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured Bro's Cajun Cuisine's Cajun and Louisiana cooking — gumbo, jambalaya, and po'boys — on the "Timeless" episode, which aired 2010-09-13. The restaurant, a Nashville fixture on Charlotte Avenue since 2003, traced its roots to a business Darrell and Linda Breaux opened in the city in 1988, itself descended from a restaurant Breaux started in Lafayette, Louisiana, in 1975. According to Nashville Scene, Darrell Breaux said on 2016-10-25 that he and his wife were preparing to close the restaurant and sell the property after a 28-year run, citing his health.

A Yelp listing updated 2026-06 marks Bro's Cajun Cuisine as permanently closed. Nashville Scene also reported the Charlotte Avenue property, which the Breaux family owned outright, was listed for sale for $2.975 million as part of the closure plan, reflecting how much the Charlotte Avenue corridor's real estate values had risen since the restaurant first arrived there.
