What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives' second episode, 'That's Italian' (aired 2007-04-30), featured Hullabaloo Diner, a classic American diner on Wellborn Road outside College Station, Texas, that opened in 2006. KBTX reported on 2026-03-06 that the diner's owners were exploring options for the restaurant's future after the owner of the property began moving to sell the land faster than expected, leaving the diner's long-term status uncertain. Yelp's listing, updated in September 2026, showed the diner keeping a reduced schedule of Thursday and Friday 5-8 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 9 a.m.-1 p.m. The diner's own website, thehullabaloodiner.com, remained active alongside the Yelp listing. Twenty years after opening, the restaurant continued operating under the same name at the same Wellborn Road address as of the most recent listing found.
