The short answer
Steakhouse currently operating per directory listing and management reference.
What happened on the show
WhaBah Steakhouse on Russellville Road in Bowling Green, Kentucky opened the show's eleventh season, a struggling steakhouse hoping Irvine's two day reset could steady it. WhaBah got the series standard package, a renovation on the network's small budget and the usual run of a tasting, a blunt look, and a reopening under Irvine's eye. The episode's filmed details are absent from the Wikipedia documentation, so this writeup will not rebuild them from assumption. Current signals point to the steakhouse still operating, with a recent positive directory review praising the service and steaks and a note that it is managed by a local operator. A banned source claim of a temporary remodel closure in 2015 is not used. WhaBah registers as active, one of the eleventh season entries that appears to have held on.
After the cameras left
The WhaBah Steakhouse looks to be open. A directory listing carried a recent positive review praising the service and steaks, and another noted the steakhouse is now managed by a local operator, both consistent with a running business, though a direct load was blocked, so we rate this a medium call. A separate claim about a 2015 remodel closure describes a temporary rather than permanent shutdown and is not used. the best read is that the Bowling Green steakhouse still trades on Russellville Road.
