NADC Burger

NADC Burger (Not a Damn Chance) is absolutely worth the stop. This NYC spot is a collaboration between professional skateboarder Neen Williams and Michelin-starred chef Phillip Frankland Lee, and you can really tell there’s intention behind everything even with a small menu. I ordered the NADC Burger, which comes with double 100% wagyu beef patties, American cheese, secret sauce, onions, pickles, and slightly tamed jalapeños. The burger was super juicy, rich, and well-balanced without being over-the-top. You can also add an extra patty if you’re extra hungry. The fries are cooked in 100% beef tallow, which already sets them apart, and they come with a really good chipotle-peppered ketchup. If you’re debating it, get the Beast Mode Fries—loaded with cheese, diced pickles, jalapeños, special sauce, and seasoning. Totally worth it. They also offer a kids/simple burger (single patty, meat, cheese, bun) and they allow modifications, which is nice. Finished with a brown butter chocolate chip cookie, which was warm, soft, and the perfect ending. Overall, great quality ingredients, fast service, and a cool skate-meets-chef concept. Simple menu done really well. I’d definitely come back and recommend it if you’re looking for a solid burger in NYC.

Vibes are immaculate, with classic hip hop playing like GZA and A Tribe Called Quest. Burgers are simple, only two options on the menu but omg they slappp so hard. The fries are so crispy and tasty. Plus there’s skating championships playing on the tv? Solid 8/10 burger place!

Burger was fantastic, great taste to the meat, cooked really well. I really liked the beast fries, me and my wife think maybe the ketchup is homemade because it’s a bit more peppery than usual ketchup. Nice kind of classic burger place feel inside

What could possibly bring Pro Skateboarder @NeenWilliams and 2 Michelin-Starred Chef @PhillipFranklandLee together in this life? The answer is simple yet interesting: their passion for cheeseburgers and skateboarding. We spend most of our lives searching for the perfect cheeseburger. @nadcburger has come the closest we've come to finding it. The NADC burger ($16) is made with 170g of 100% Texas Wagyu. The meat isn't overly smashed and still has flavor, it's not completely drenched in sauce, and it has a decent bun. The Beast Mode Fries ($8) are quite delicious. The Milk Shake ($6) is only available in vanilla. It's about average. If they can perfect the bread and the Milk Shake, they might just open the gates of heaven for you.

It's a really good burger and I really like the taste and the ingredients. The meat is very tasty and flavourful. The fries are special but very delicious 😋. So all in all, definitely one of the best burgers in town. The price is too high, but the quality is extremely good. Worth to visit

Found here as an online recommendation and I’m glad I tried it! Was a good burger with lots of flavor! Not my top recommendation for burgers in the city but I’m glad I tried it and enjoyed it! If someone was looking for a quick lunch I would say it’s a good spot to try!

Top 5 burgers in NYC, and Omg the French Fries were the best I ever had. The crispness of the French were amazing. The Burger was well cooked and seasoned lot of flavor.

Wow! Should have never think twice before I took the subway there after a long day The smash was incredible, the best sauce and bun The atmosphere is nice and young The staff was welcoming and helpful Last thing - even though I normally hate ketchup, this one was incredible! First time I am enjoying this.much of a ketchup Would absolutely recommend the creamy soda and the ginger ale drinks, the where offered to us by a staff member and we are a bit suspicious, but they were incredibly and matched the vibes The fries were also a perfect match, and the sauce and additions made a perfect connection between the fries and the burger The only downside was the pricing,.but I most say the burger wasn't expensive, just all the fries and drinks made it become less affordable

I finally tried this viral burger and it was good. Now, if you ask me if I would come all the way from Jersey to eat it, probably not. It can be comparable to a 7th street or a Shake Shack burger. Service was great, friendly and quick. The menu is super simple, straight forward. Burger was flavorful with all the right ingredients like pickles and cheese that paired perfectly with the juicy meat. Loved the crunchiness of the fries and to be fair, the place can be a little pricey for the burgers but the amount of fries they serve per order is enough for two people. They also have a lovely open patio with tables in the back where you can seat and eat chilling. Pet friendly.

I've made my way around most of the new burger spots in the city, but had always just missed this one so I finally made the plans to check it out! Solid burger and fries both - the fries in beef tallow have an extra crispness to them, which I liked. The burger is good, but I couldn't super taste the difference of the wagyu, at least enough to fully justify the price personally over some of the other very burger places nearby. They have a very spacious outdoor space out back, which I really enjoyed! Overall, a solid spot for burger and fries. Not one of my ultimate favourites, especially considering the relative price, but I could see myself coming back if I was in the area again.

Honestly, delicious burger. No fuss, no complicated menu, no nonsense. Just tasty shmeat and tasty beef tallow fries. I was in and out quickly and inhaled my burger. Nice seasoning, perfect amount of sauce, thicc and mild jalapeños. Service was quick and efficient, the little back patio was delight. Come give them a try!

Bomb AF. That's all I have to say. Walked right in Friday around noon and ordered. Great vibe inside. Amazing burger with melty cheese.

Quick grab and go; very casual spot Staff is pretty friendly When I went the water filter was broken so they could only offer tap water A burger is $16 here Standard fries are $5 with the optional $3 topping add on Plenty of seating available out front and in the patio in the back Burgers are very juicy (2 patties)

Went here last night and got their signature burger. The shop looks like a hole in the wall but there was actually a lot of great seating inside and they have a nice back outdoor area. We are big 7th street fans so were really excited to try this new spot. I thought it was great! The flavors were so prominent in a good way, definitely a new spin on a fast food Smashburger with its elevated and slightly more upscale flavors. It is comparable to 7th street in the way that NADC has better quality meat, but I don't think the two smashburgers are hitting the same demographic. This isn't a fast food price nor a fast food crowd. However, I really enjoyed it. It standard comes with 2 pattys so heavier than 7th street. I think it just depends on your mood. But the staff was great the food came out quickly. Would recommend, my friend said he was adding it to his must-try NY burgers...

Oh man, am I the first reviewer?! You are in for a treat, delicious! Wagyu burger, crispy fries and good vibes. Ps - get the cookie, a must!

Finally tried this burger and was very impressed. Parties are a perfect level of thickness, house sauce is spot on. Everything you can ask for in a burger. Will definitely be back at some point.

I think this is 1 of the best burgers in the city. The beef flavor from the beef tallow comes through in both the burger and fries. The fries are super crispy, yet thick, which makes them exceptional compared to almost any other fries period. The burger was so juicy that I just kept wanting to eat more bordering on ordering a second burger. I'm definitely going back soon even though the burger is fairly expensive when compared to other spots.

I'll start with this: the selling point here may be the oasis-like back deck in what is a very dense and noisy part of town. The burger holds its own in a crowded burger scene. As someone who spent $1000 at Five Guys last year, if you can't tell the difference in taste between a Five Guys patty and one of the Wagyu patties at NADC, you have no business writing reviews. The difference is obvious, and the prices are--SURPRISE!--pretty much the same as Five Guys'. One concern is whether this is supposed to be a smash burger or if it's 5gbnf-inspired. I say this because the burger I received didn't look like the (floppy) smash-style burger on their website, it looked like a 5gbnf burger. If this was properly smashed (like SMASHED), I don't see why this wouldn't be a top tier burger. The ingredients work. I wasn't really a fan of the fries.

Disappointing. Paid $16 for a soggy burger. My patty did not appear to be smashed. They don't offer a single patty option. The burger lacked flavor. Why use "tamed" jalapeños??? Ended up only eating about half the burger. The fries were even worse. They do not have ice for their limited drink options. I wouldn't come back. Not a damn chance.

I'm spellbound by this burger. It's been on my list for a few weeks to do a head to head same day burger tasting between here and a competitor which shall not be named. Let's just say, both burgers hit but NADC is still in my dreams. This burger was soooo delicious, sooop juicy, and the most perfect tasting meat patty I've literally ever had. I met some of the guys at Yea Chef and they were troopers despite us getting absolutely soaked. I can say, I'd stand in a downpour for this burger. I'm literally baffled by any negative comments. The bread was fire, the meat was mind blowing, and the cheese and toppings ratio was chef's kiss. If you want a cheaper burger hit White Castle, but don't come at this place for their prices when you get what you pay for.

Food is "just aight" i've had better smash burgers. Great service and good people. very friendly staff. chill. laid back. walk in. come as you are vibe.

I hate pickles, but I loved this burger. together with a secret sauce + mild jalapenos, the first bite is truly as good as the last when it comes to smashburgers, consistency, speed, and not feeling overly stuffed after are key and nadc *delivers* the menu: one signature burger + fries with a rushmore-worthy crisp. twice-fried with a hint of rosemary, these spuds come with an elite golden crisp everyone working was beaming with joy -- you could tell they're genuinely happy to be there. dope setup with an abundance of indoor + outdoor seating (in front + back). soho's palpable energy radiates through the front's fully retractable windows. (bonus points for being steps away from spring st station) order. eat. done. BOOM. welcome to nyc

Amazing wagyu patties. Very juicy melts when you eat it. Sauce in the burger is very nice and a good amount of pickles and jalapeños. Quick service and nice location with additional backside seating.

outstanding. lives up to hype. delicious meat and good balance of toppings. good for hen. nice pickles and cheese

The burger slays. It is juicy with just the right amount of savory flavor. The jalapeños add a little bit of tartness and the sauce/onions sweetness. Fries are OK. They need some more items on the menu though. I didn't even see an option for additional toppings.

Good stuff. . Staff was great. Burger was great. Loved it! Could use a canopy for the back in case of rain.

The burger was delicious. Extremely messy and lots of grease was dripping out but it did not taste oily at all, surprisingly. The wagyu is very tender and full of flavor. The jalapenos are not very spicy, which is good for me, and the pickles had a good crunch.

I was super hungry and walked by this place and had their cheeseburger and fries. It was so good! I really enjoyed the meal. I can't wait to go back! This place is an amazing treat indeed. I don't eat a lot of cheeseburgers and fries all the time, so this was an awesome experience! I would definitely recommend this place to anybody who loves friendly service, amazing fresh perfect burgers, and their "Beast Mode" fries were absolutely the best!

Just tried this place after seeing the Instagram reels. I went to the soho location. I was really looking forward to this burger after seeing all the hype about this place. I have had smash burgers all over the world and I think some of the best smash burgers are in London and Sweden so I was more than ready to see what they had to offer. The order didn't take long to get but I didn't like that the server girl wasn't wearing any hair protection on her head. While waiting for the food I could see hairs from her head falling into people's fries that she was putting in the bags. (Yuk). I ordered the double burger with fries and cheese sauce. The fries were hard and cold..so was the cheese and the sauce that tasted like ranch. The fries were a big disappointment. The flavors just weren't gelling at all. There' was nothing special about them. No flavor. I was like ok....lets see what the burger taste like being that was the only saving grace. To my disappointment...the burger was horrible....very greasy I had to keep using napkins to wipe my lips and tongue. The meat tasted very bland and once again "no flavor" the bun was sub par at best. I didn't even finish my burger. I threw the rest out. After my first few bites and looking at the people on the line...I really began to see the power of social media because in my opinion the burger and fries are below sub par at best and doesn't even come close to being worthy of all this hype. I mean I can see this being the go to place if it was situated in a backwoods town in the middle of America where they don't know much about proper food. New York is the leader in the culinary scene and if you are going to come here with a concept to challenge what's already available then make sure you have the "proof in the puddin". I even asked people next to me that were eating the burger what they thought to make sure that it wasn't just me and they said the same thing. That they wouldn't come back....is just the hype. The only thing in my opinion that's good about this place is the hype. There are so many other burger places that aren't even the best in the area and in my opinion taste so much better. This is my honest review.

I thought the burger was pretty good, not super memorable though. The fries, on the other hand, were not great, especially if there's a Michelin star chef in the kitchen. They might want to work on those fries. I'm just saying this because I feel like it's more of a marketing ploy. The ambiance was quite pleasant, but I did find the prices a bit steep for a burger and fries. Service was alright. They simply call your name when your order is ready.

NADC is an EXCELLENT BURGER!!! I DO NOT understand the low ratings. The wagyu fat melts into the burger so well and the pickles and jalapeno's provide excellent acid to cut through it. I love the special sauce as well. I didn't try the beast mode fries, but I'm generally not a fan of that particular combo especially when I take on 2 double burgers. I opted for the regular fries, which were perfectly salted & super crispy. I asked if they could throw a slice of cheese as well and they happily obliged! I prefer these heftier fries to the stringier ones at Gotham, 7th Street, K.O., Hamburger America, Highlife or Paper Plate burger. I went Saturday at 7pm and they were absolutely slammed but I still got my food in about 15 minutes. Yes, it was a tight kitchen and there was a woman running expo shouting orders to the kitchen, but it reminded me of the old school diners and drive-ins; like a childhood favorite of mine: Glenwood in Connecticut: "2 dogs, 1 lob roll, 4 cheese, two of those no pickle!!!" It was crowded but there was a pretty fast turnover. Also I loved that you could add your own chipotle ketchup and special sauce in the front. I'm coming back regularly for sure for the shakes. All but the Vanilla were sold out, but I'm not mad at that. Opening months always take a bit of time to adjust to volume.

Was walking in the neighborhood and saw this new place opened and wanted to try it for a quick, casual bite. They were filming this documentary? with everyone surrounding the back. No one came to take my order for a good amount of time. I ordered a kids cheeseburger ($8) that was just cheese, patty, and bread since the other burger seemed a little pricy ($16) for a quick bite. I was the only one waiting for my order and it took over 20 minutes, which was a lot longer than expected. The burger tasted good and not greasy compared to 7th street. Wasn't sure if I could tell the difference between wagyu and regular beef patty. It seemed like they were focused on filming rather than customers on their first day, which left kind of a bad impression. There was an employee who did check up on me while I was waiting who was kind though. I would come back again to try the original burger and hopefully I will have a better experience!

$24 for a triple smash burger, $8 for loaded fries -- $32 before tax and tip ($42 all inclusive) -- and they don't even bring your food out to you, they just shout and scream names over and over until you come pick it up yourself and THEN you throw your own trash away?! Standing in line here was an absolute.nightmare because of the shouting and screaming, then trying to enjoy myself while eating here was an absolute nightmare also because of the shouting and screaming... You can get a better burger with better fries at an actual sit down restaurant with actual service for less than the $42 they expect...I cannot stand the screaming and shouting...

Why don't kitchen workers wear gloves? While waiting for the order, the kitchen staff I saw were unfortunately not wearing gloves or hats.

It's good. But not like super good. It's quite expensive for the smash burger but it's wagyu burger so I guess it justify the price. Overall good. But not amazing from as the marketing makes it seem.

Very boring they got my order wrong and did not put anything I said I wanted inside so it lacked flavor. The fries average. Would I go back...no.

Watched them making my burger and wasn't impressed. Cold, undercooked. The sauce was the standout, but it was just a pretty basic spicy mayo type thing.

Overrated overpriced grease. Decor and ambiance are corny af. Great place for midwest transplants to have a safe space to feel "urban"

The burger I had at NADC was soooo good. The fries are super crispy and yummy too. Alyse helped me out today and she was so friendly and made my dining experience great! Atmosphere is awesome with a back patio to hang out on

This place has the best burger I've ever had! these other reviews are absolutely crazy and nonsense. definitely worth the visit it won't disappoin!

best burger ive had in a while! service was great . seating area was nice as well . all n all recommend !

$25+ for a burger and fries with no drink. they use "wagyu" and then smash all the fat out of it defeating the purpose of wagyu, leaving you with an extra greasy burger.
