What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

On 'Mama's Cookin'' (Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Food Network, aired 2009-07-27), Guy Fieri visited Mama E's, a soul food restaurant in Oklahoma City. The episode was the thirteenth and final installment of the show's sixth season, according to Trakt.tv's episode guide. According to Dinersdriveinsdives.com's episode listing, the restaurant — also marketed as Mama E's Wings & Waffles per TVFoodies.com — served chicken and waffles, burgers, catfish, fried ribs, and pork chop sandwiches, with meats seasoned and slow-cooked for hours. The listing places the business at 3838 Springlake Drive, Oklahoma City, OK 73111. Mama E's soul food menu continues to be referenced across restaurant-tracking sites tied to the show, including TravelOK's Oklahoma tourism directory, which lists it among the state's dining destinations.

Restaurant: Impossible (Food Network) opened its tenth season at Mama E's Wings & Waffles in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, with the episode "Without a Prayer," which aired November 24, 2014. The episode centered on a family-run soul-food restaurant serving fried chicken and waffles, with the family's Christian faith shown as part of how they framed their approach to the business. Robert Irvine's team found the restaurant carrying significant debt and struggling with menu pricing and portion consistency, problems the show's format addresses through a roughly two-day renovation of the kitchen, dining room, and menu, capped by a relaunch dinner for the owners and their regular customers. Mama E's Wings & Waffles has continued operating in the years since the episode aired, now doing business under the shortened name Mama E's at 3838 Springlake Drive in Oklahoma City. The restaurant's own online-ordering site, ordermamaes.com, was live and actively serving requests when checked in September 2026, and the business also appears as an active listing on Uber Eats and Postmates delivery platforms under the name Mama E Wings and Waffle, indicating current, ongoing operation. Food Network's own restaurant directory also lists the business at the same Oklahoma City address. No name change beyond the shortened public-facing signage, ownership change, or relocation was identified; the business appears to operate today essentially as featured, and the trimming of "Wings & Waffles" from everyday branding is common among small, family-run restaurants and does not by itself indicate new ownership. Mama E's stands out, among the season's episodes researched in this batch, as a Restaurant: Impossible subject that has stayed in business well beyond its original taping, in contrast to several other restaurants from the same season that appear to have closed within a year or two of their episodes airing.
