What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured Bobo's Drive In in "American Classics," which aired 2008-05-12, spotlighting the drive-in's classic burger and shake menu served with carhop delivery. Bobo's Drive In has operated at the same Southwest 10th Avenue location in Topeka, Kansas since 1948, one of the city's longest-running drive-ins. A Yelp listing updated 2026-07 showed continuing customer reviews and posted hours of Monday through Saturday, 11am to 8pm, closed Sunday, along with a current phone number matching the one on file for the location. The Topeka Convention and Visitors Bureau's business directory separately lists the drive-in as an active dining destination in its current listings. No dated news account or owner statement was located, so this record's status rests on the two current listings rather than a firmer source.
