According to this article in MinnPost, restaurants featured on Triple D do not just see a small buzz, they often see jumps in revenue from 50% to 500%. At the time that article was written, of the 800 restaurants featured,

What is the top Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives restaurant in Texas?

For a town known as being ground zero on the bar-b-que trail, it is nice to see a non BBQ spot get the top spot. When you look at the Google Maps of the current location for Counter Cafe, you will see as recently as 2018 it was a pizza joint.
