What happened after You Gotta Eat Here!?

The 2012-09-21 episode of You Gotta Eat Here! (season 1, episode 23), as summarized by TVmaze, included Coastal Waters Restaurant in Ingonish, Nova Scotia. Destination Cape Breton's listing for the restaurant, now titled Coastal Restaurant & Pub, credits the Food Network show for its Ringer Burger, a fresh crab dip and a cinnamon roll skillet. The listing gives the address as 36404 Cabot Trail in Ingonish Beach and describes patio seating, takeout, pub fare and dinner service. A separate cbisland.com page about Cabot Trail Biker Brew, which gives the same Cabot Trail address, names the Coastal Waters Restaurant as the place selling the beer and also refers to the Coastal Restaurant. The listing pages carry a 2026 copyright footer but no season dates or hours. A Google Places listing consulted in October 2026 shows the business as Coastal Restaurant at the same address and marks it temporarily closed.
