What happened after Mystery Diners?

In 'Bringing Down the Haus' (aired 2012-05-25), Mystery Diners investigators wired the German restaurant Haus Murphy in Glendale after the owner grew concerned about a manager's conduct. Hidden cameras recorded the manager taking beer from the restaurant's stock for personal use, acting lazy on shift, and being rude to customers at the bar, behavior the episode framed as driving away regulars. Investigators walked the owner through specific clips of the manager pouring drinks for himself and dismissing customer requests, comparing the footage against the manager's own account of his shifts, and the episode showed the owner confronting the manager with the footage. According to Wikipedia's article on the series, citing its sources, later episodes carried an on-screen disclaimer noting that certain depicted events may have been staged or re-enacted for dramatic purposes.

The restaurant continues operating as Haus Murphy's at 5739 W Glendale Ave, Glendale, AZ 85301. Checked on 2026-09-08, the business's own website returned a 2026 copyright line, an active online-ordering system, a reservation form, and a loyalty-program page, indicating current activity rather than a stale, unmaintained page. Google Places separately listed the business as operational under the Haus Murphy's name as of the same check, corroborating the website. Between the two independent, contemporaneous sources, the restaurant is treated as currently open, and no closure or ownership-change signals were found in this pass.
