What the source shows: A 2026-09-08 check found gilleysdiner.com serving unrelated content instead of the diner's own site, and Google Places flags the business as temporarily closed, while NH Business Review reported a sale of the property with a stated intent to continue Gilley's Diner operations, and other current listings show posted operating hours, so the evidence conflicts.

What happened after Man v. Food?
A 2011-07-20 episode (S4E9) featured this Portsmouth diner, a descendant of a historic 1940s lunch cart that has served burgers, hot dogs, and blue-plate classics from a fixed location on Fleet Street. A check of the restaurant's own domain, gilleysdiner.com, on 2026-09-08 found it no longer showing the diner's content, instead serving unrelated promotional material, and Google Places flags the business as temporarily closed. Separately, NH Business Review reported that developer Mark McNabb and his company, One Market Square, reached an agreement to buy the Gilley's Diner property, stating an intent to continue the diner's operations on site, and other current listings, including a Yelp page and an active Facebook page, show posted operating hours. Because the website evidence and the closed flag conflict with reports of continued or resumed operation, this review could not confirm whether the diner is currently open, closed, or has changed hands, and no single dated source settles the question.
