Word of mouth and positive reviews can go a long way for drumming up business for a restaurant, so much so that an eatery can experience a boom in popularity almost overnight with a good word and viral social media post. Whether the establishment has been a longtime staple of the community or is a relative newcomer to the restaurant scene, there are plenty of eateries that have achieved a level of regional, or even national, fame and praise that continue to entice customers to see what it's all about.

This popular Denver eatery has drawn in a host of customers over the years and has even been featured on multiple food-centric TV shows. Biker Jim's is located at 2148 Larimer Street.
Here's what the site had to say:
"Featured on Anthony Bourdain's hit show No Reservations, Travel Channel's Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmerman, and the Food Network's The Best Thing I Ever Ate, it's safe to say that Denver's Biker Jim's Gourmet Dogs has received plenty of attention. The restaurant started as a food truck, and today serves incredible hot dogs made of beef, pork, elk, and buffalo at its bricks-and-mortar locations."
