What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited Momona in Chico, California, for the May 10, 2019 episode "Not Your Everyday Eats" (S29E20), the same segment that covered Richland, Washington's Frost Me Sweet Bakery & Bistro. Momona operates at 330 Main St, Suite 100, offering dinner service alongside a rentable event space called the Lanai, suggesting an island-influenced concept. A Google Places listing recorded the business's status as permanently closed as of a 2026-09-08 check. That same day, however, the business's own website (momonachico.com) remained live and functional, listing current hours of Monday through Wednesday 4pm to 9pm and Thursday through Sunday noon to 9pm, a phone number and email address, and an active online-ordering button, but the Instagram feed shown on that same site told a different story.
Posts in that feed, dating from late 2025, announced that Momona would serve its final guests at the end of December, set December 28 as the final day of service, and signed off with "Cheers to our final weekend." In an October 2026 check the feed showed no later posts, which indicates the restaurant closed at the end of 2025 even though its website stayed online.
