What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited Maple & Motor for the 'Streamlined Sammies' episode, which aired 2012-04-09, spotlighting the Dallas burger restaurant's flat-grilled, half-pound beef patties and hand-held sandwich builds. Maple & Motor is a Dallas burger-and-beer restaurant. According to the restaurant's own website, checked 2026-09-08, Maple & Motor now lists two locations: the original at 4810 Maple Ave. and a second at 14885 Preston Rd., each with posted hours of 10:45 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. The same website describes a signature burger made from finely ground beef flat-grilled in its own juices and dressed in traditional Texas style, and provides ordering links for pickup and delivery through Uber Eats, GrubHub, and Postmates. Those ordering links and the posted daily hours were both active on the business's own website during the 2026-09-08 check.

On the Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives episode 'Grilling Greats' (aired 2014-06-21), Guy Fieri returned to Maple & Motor, a Dallas burger stand set inside a converted gas station on Maple Avenue. According to the Dallas Morning News, Fieri sampled several of the restaurant's burgers and built a specialty burger for chef and restaurateur Tim Love during the visit. Maple & Motor keeps a '50s-diner menu of Southern staples such as bologna sandwiches and BLTs alongside its burgers. The segment centered on the restaurant's grilled, made-to-order burger builds for the episode's grilling theme.
