What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives? 2 episodes

Part 1 — Season 21, Episode 15 Aired

Grampa's Bakery & Restaurant operates daily from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 17 SW 1st Street in Dania Beach, Florida, with display cases of house-made pies, cookies, and pastries, according to Burger Beast. In the 'Best of Breakfast' compilation (S21E15, aired 2014-12-23), Guy Fieri's visit highlighted the light, fluffy pancakes and the fall-off-the-bone lamb shank, according to Diners Drive-Ins and Dives Locations.

Part 2 — Season 3, Episode 10 Aired

On Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives episode 'Comfort Food' (aired 2008-06-15), Guy Fieri visited Grampa's Bakery & Restaurant, a Dania Beach bakery and diner known for scratch-made baked goods and Southern home-style comfort food. The Grampa family opened the storefront in 1957, and the restaurant later became a Food Network fixture after the DDD episode aired. The business's own website, eatatgrampas.com, describes New York bagel-shop owners Marc Goldberg (Goldberg's Bagels) and Mark Fried (Bagel Boys and Bagel Girls) taking over the location and rebranding it as Grampa's Cafe, adding hand-rolled water bagels, Carnegie corned beef and pastrami, and matzoh ball soup to the menu. Although a Yelp listing under the original Grampa's Bakery & Restaurant name was marked closed as of July 2026, the business at 17 SW 1st Street still presents itself as the same Grampa's, "Since 1957," and remains open as Grampa's Cafe from 6am to 4pm daily.
