What happened after Restaurant: Impossible (Food Network)?

The Dutch Treat is a sports bar and restaurant at 317 Main Street in Franconia, New Hampshire, operating in the community since 1953. Restaurant: Impossible (Food Network) featured the business in the episode "Trick or Treat," which aired 2023-04-06. According to realitytvrecap.com, the restaurant's long history had settled into fixed routines by the time Robert Irvine arrived, and the site described the challenge as giving a fifty-year-old business a fresh perspective without losing the character that longtime customers valued.

Irvine's rescue combined the show's typical physical renovation with an effort to modernize daily operations at the Dutch Treat while preserving elements locals were attached to, realitytvrecap.com reported.

Realitytvrecap.com reported, in an update last verified January 2026, that sales had risen by roughly 66% following the relaunch, which the site described as one of the stronger post-show results among recent seasons, and said the sports bar had kept its loyal customer base while drawing new visitors. The site reported that the Dutch Treat remained open, citing praise for its pizza, staff, and casual sports-bar atmosphere in Franconia.

A regional tourism directory operated by the White Mountains Attractions Association continued to list the Dutch Treat at its Main Street address, though the listing page did not show restaurant-specific hours or a review date. The business's Facebook page, listed as its website in this record, remained reachable under the name The Dutch Treat, and a Tripadvisor listing for the restaurant showed a 3.5-star rating, ranked #3 of 12 restaurants in Franconia, though without a visible review date attached. A separate regional business listing gave a phone number of (603) 823-8851 for the Dutch Treat and described the establishment as offering nightly entertainment alongside its food and drink menu.

Google Places listed the Dutch Treat as operational at 317 Main Street, matching the address above. No source found for this update indicated the restaurant had closed since the episode aired.
