What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited Smack Shack at The 1029 Bar on the S14E2 episode 'Streamlined Sammies,' which aired 2012-04-09, spotlighting the Minneapolis seafood concept's casual seafood menu. The business now operates simply as Smack Shack, with a brick-and-mortar restaurant on North Washington Avenue in Minneapolis's North Loop and a second location in Bloomington, rather than the bar-based setup referenced in the episode's original billing. A site check on 2026-09-08 found smack-shack.com carrying a 2026 copyright, an online ordering system, and posted hours, including Thursday service from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday-Saturday hours extending to 10 p.m. Google Places also lists the North Loop location as operational. The website's current navigation does not list a location at The 1029 Bar, and describes the business as a 'Casual Seafood' restaurant offering takeout, curbside pickup, and online ordering.
