What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

On Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives episode 'Comfort Food Classics' (aired 2010-02-22), the show featured the Liberty Elm Diner's classic diner cooking, served from a vintage 1947 Worcester Lunch Car body that gave the restaurant its retro counter-and-booth feel. The diner had operated in Providence's Elmwood neighborhood since 2007, occupying a diner car that had stood on the same Elmwood Avenue site since the 1950s. According to a Yelp listing updated June 2026, the business is marked permanently closed at 777 Elmwood Avenue, with no current hours or active ordering shown. A separate Foursquare listing also marks the diner as closed, though without a visible date, offering a second, independent signal consistent with the Yelp listing. No replacement business or reopening announcement was found at the address.
