What happened after Restaurant: Impossible (Food Network)?

Restaurant: Impossible (Food Network) sent Robert Irvine to the Maple Tree Cafe, a breakfast-and-brunch spot in Las Vegas, Nevada, for an episode that aired September 26, 2012. As shown in the episode, owner Ashley was struggling to keep the cafe going, and Irvine's team used its usual two-day, $10,000 renovation to rework the menu, refresh the dining room, and reset kitchen operations around the cafe's breakfast-focused identity.

Food Network Gossip reported that in the months immediately following the broadcast, the cafe saw a genuine sales bump and initial improvement, consistent with the pattern seen at many of the restaurants Irvine visited that season, giving the owners some breathing room after years of struggling to keep the cafe afloat on its own before the show's crew arrived to help.

The turnaround did not last as a storefront restaurant. Food Network Gossip reported in November 2013 — about a year after the episode aired — that the Maple Tree Cafe had closed. According to the outlet, owner Ashley explained the closure directly, saying the business had landed "a large catering contract and have relocated to do that full time," shifting the operation away from a walk-in dining room and toward catering work instead, a pivot the owner framed as a business opportunity rather than a forced closure of the dine-in concept.

Yelp records for the 7345 South Jones Boulevard address where the cafe operated show it marked permanently closed, with an update as recent as July 2026. A separate, similarly named business, "The Maple Tree," at a different Las Vegas address on Spring Mountain Road, is also listed as closed on Yelp, with no indication in the available sources that it was the same restaurant relocated rather than an unrelated business using a similar name, and this research did not find grounds to treat the two as connected.

Robert Irvine returned to Maple Tree Cafe in Las Vegas, Nevada, for a Restaurant: Impossible (Food Network) revisit segment billed as "Restaurant More Impossible," which aired February 26, 2014. The breakfast spot had originally been renovated in a Season 4 episode, when Irvine worked with then-26-year-old owner Ashley on the menu and dining room. The follow-up segment checked on how the cafe and its owner had done in the time since. According to Food Network Gossip, a program-tracking blog, Maple Tree Cafe did not sustain its post-show turnaround and closed in the year or so following the original episode. A Yelp listing for the business at 7345 S Jones Blvd is marked closed as of a July 2026 site check, consistent with that reporting. This record covers only the "More Impossible" check-in segment; the cafe's original episode and full status history are tracked under its separate, earlier restaurant record.
