Reality TV Locations Roadmap: Your State-by-State Guide
Ever watch Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and think, ‘I need to eat there’? Or see a massive fish tank on Tanked and wonder if it’s still there? We put together a guide to reality TV locations across the country—the actual spots you’ve seen on screen.
This is our running list of reality TV locations—restaurants, bars, diners, and attractions featured on shows like Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Bar Rescue, Tanked, and more—organized by state so you can actually use it when you’re planning a road trip or looking for something cool nearby. We’re talking Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Restaurant: Impossible, Bar Rescue, Tanked, Gordon Ramsay’s shows, Cupcake Wars—basically any food-related reality show that made us pause and say, “We should go there.”
We live full-time in a bus, traveling a regular loop between Florida, Arkansas, and Michigan. We watch these shows, track down the locations, and visit them when our route allows. Some of these spots we’ve already been to (like the Cowfish tank in Raleigh). Most are still on our list. As we visit, we’ll link to our posts so you can see what they’re really like.
How to Use This List
Click any state to see what’s been filmed there. Each entry shows the city, restaurant name, and which show featured it. Links go to the restaurant’s website when available. Some places have closed, but we’ve noted that where we know it.
Whether you’re a hardcore DDD fan, a Tanked enthusiast, or just someone who likes finding cool spots from TV, this is your reference guide.

This List Keeps Growing
We add new locations as we watch shows and as we travel. Some of these we’ve already visited—others are still on the route. If you’ve been to any of these spots or know of a reality TV restaurant location we missed, let us know.
And if you’re into roadside oddities beyond the food scene, check out our quirky roadside attractions guide—because sometimes the best stops are the ones you didn’t see on TV.
