What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Guy Fieri visited Grover's Bar & Grill in East Amherst, New York, for the "Dives Worth a Drive" episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (Food Network), aired 2009-10-26. Grover's Bar & Grill is known for a 12-ounce garnished burger and a Friday fish fry, according to Roadfood. The business traces its roots to Sally's Tavern, a bar started by Stella Duderwick in South Buffalo in 1943; her daughter Joan later renamed it Joanie's Place, and in 1988 Joan and her daughter Georgina Hartman moved the business to its current Transit Road location and renamed it Grover's Bar & Grill, according to Roadfood. Grover's own website, groversbuffalo.com, and Yelp's listing, updated June 2026, both continue to show the bar and grill operating, with Yelp recording 477 reviews and 444 photos. The business is described as cash-only and closed on Sundays, according to those listings. Neither Grover's own website nor its Yelp listing carries a closed or permanently-closed designation.
