What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured NOLA on 5th in San Diego, California, where Guy Fieri sampled New Orleans-style Creole and Cajun dishes on the episode 'West Coast Wonders,' which aired 2023-01-06. The restaurant serves American cuisine with a New Orleans influence from a location on Fifth Avenue in San Diego's Hillcrest neighborhood, according to its website, nolaon5th.com. A September 2026 check found its website live with Thursday-through-Sunday hours and online ordering. That has since been superseded: in an October 2026 check, OpenTable marked NOLA on 5th as permanently closed and Google's business listing for the Fifth Avenue address showed it permanently closed, even though the restaurant's website remained online without a closure notice.
