What happened on the show
Degel's stakeout of Hammers Grill and Bar put him alongside former professional hockey player Bob Fleming, whose restaurant needed the same outside eye as any other on the show. The hidden cameras captured the floor when management assumed no one was watching, and as aired the footage gave Degel a documented picture of how the grill and bar actually ran. His confrontation used that evidence to press Fleming on leadership and consistency, while his fixes brought the familiar reset of systems and standards. The stakeout leaned on the format's central claim, that a stakeout reveals the gap between how an owner believes his room runs and how it truly does, a lesson that applies to a pro athlete turned restaurateur no less than to anyone else who calls Degel in.
After the cameras left
Hammers Grill and Bar is open. An active Yelp listing with a solid rating across hundreds of reviews shows current posted hours, open daily into the early morning, at the East Horizon Drive address in Henderson. The current hours and review activity make this a high confidence survivor. The grill run by former hockey player Bob Fleming is still serving years after its stakeout, a clean Season 5 win.
