What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Season 21, Episode 2 Aired
"Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" visited Saus for the September 12, 2014 episode "Seriously Saucy," spotlighting the Boston cafe's twice-fried Belgian-style fries served with a range of housemade dipping sauces. Saus opened as one of Boston's first dedicated Belgian street-food spots, originally operating at 33 Union St in downtown Boston. According to a Yelp business page updated 2026-09, that Union Street location is marked closed. The sausboston.com website, checked the same week, now presents only the company's Bow Market location in Somerville's Union Square, a vegetarian offshoot the company opened in 2018 according to the food blog Confessions of a Chocoholic. No current page, menu, or ordering link tied to the original downtown Boston address was found during the September 2026 check, and the brand's remaining web presence appears limited to the Somerville shop.

Saus, a Belgian restaurant in Boston, was one of three restaurants in the April 29, 2016 episode of You Gotta Eat Here!

Search results in October 2026 show that Boston Magazine, Boston University's BU website, the Suffolk Journal and the Tufts Daily have each published pieces on Saus, among them a 2013 BU article and a Tufts Daily review published in September 2016, and that The Daily Meal ran a piece on the restaurant's spicy frikandel. The Suffolk Journal's headline describes Saus as serving Belgian cuisine in Boston.
