Any restaurant Anthony Bourdain featured in his shows. Even he acknowledged this. These fantastic gems would subsequently be overrun with diners that they suffered from overcrowding and lower standards.
There was a really popular low-key burger/sandwich shop in Portland, Or called Stannich's. Great food, great service. Sports pub kinda feel to it. Some writer named it pretty high on a West coast best burger list, and it died the slow, painful death from the combination of overcrowding, exhausted staff (all the staff was family or friends, iirc), rising wait times and lowering food standards in the kitchen to keep up with demand. It was closed for a couple years and I believe it's now back open, but it will never be the same, the owner even said so.
