My fav carry out fries! Reminds me of in and out fries with jalapeños vs onions. Usually pretty busy around dinner time but can grab a beer while you wait for your food. I don't usually eat burgers (hot take I know) but really excited I saw they had a grilled cheese option so i'll try that next time! read more

NADC Burger - fries - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Yo so im not gonna lie, I'm a mega red hot ranch loyalist, but this place has something special going on. From the first bite to the last bite I knew and was sold, they're not just smashing. They're smanging. Smashing and bangin. This burger has my #1 spot rn for real. It's the wagyu beef. Has to be. One another level. Just go in and ask for a shot and a beer and sit down at the bar and try it. Just eat it and then you'll see the magic. read more

Idk who makes the lists of the best burgers in Chicago, but they need to be fired. NADC has been on my list for awhile, and while I would never say it's a top burger, it's pretty decent. I think my main complaints are 1) it's too hyped up for what it is, 2) it's just barely bigger than a slider, and 3) it's priced like it's a top 10 burger that's the size of a normal burger, but it's neither of these things. I'll still give 4 stars because it was a cute bar with a dope vibe and the type of wait staff you'd absolutely want to hang with out back. The burger was also absolutely solid, with a good blend of flavors and an excellent sauce, you just have to lower your expectations if you were expecting Owen & Engine (may it rest in peace). Especially if you're in River West, there's not a lot of other restaurants around, so I would definitely recommend this if you're in the area. Just don't go out of your way for it read more

Delicious burger, great drinks, cool casual vibe. Would definitely recommend. Order at the bar, sit down and enjoy.

They know what they're doing with these burgers!! The place itself is a little hard to find and the seating can be rough if you're coming out of work and have your jacket or bags. It's not the most spacious place but it more than makes up for that. I wouldn't order the animal style fries but the smash burgers are really good. read more

The place is a bar & serves 3 items. The burger was fresh , juicy. I enjoyed it very much. I love a great burger. read more

The burger was do die for but the bartender with the beanie was so rude. I'm all about the service, if I had better I would have gave this place a better rating. Food is good is just disappointing they have someone like her working there. read more

Holy fucking goodness! What just happened inside of my mouth? I don't ever say shit like this, but I think that was the best burger and fries I ever had in my life. I added an extra patty, I had the fries regular, I ordered a PBR on draft. The bartender Able allowed me to drown my sorrows after having one of the shittiest days ever. And holy shit, was this burger? Amazing! The burger was amazing! The fries were amazing! The beer was delicious! The place is cool as shit, and made me feel like I was fucking John Ratzenberger and I had found my Cheers.. I'm talking about my fucking CHEERS guys! Like the bar, I've been destined to hang out at and drink and eat a burger at for the rest of my life every day forever! Wow, I really hope they don't disappoint me next time I go. God bless you Abel, and you too white guy with the ponytail who is super cool. Hornitos for life! read more

I gave it two stars but now I'm gonna give it one because they deleted my message like I said the burger was great. The guy that was serving at the bar was rude. Didn't like to explain anything and if you wanted us to leave a tip leave out a tip jar and we would've paid gladly and then when we come to confront him, he's nowhere to be found so he hides like a coward you are a coward Philip Frank Lee read more

This burger is amazing. The cheese with the jalapeños and pickles just hits and it's not too heavy even though it's a double patty.

Definitely one of the best tasting burgers I ever had in Chicago! But concerning bartender he came off very rude and cold since we entered! Not good customer service! Hope to come back and have a nicer bartender. One we can tip and not be disappointed of poor service! read more

Totally get the hype with this spot. Definitely one of the best burgers in Chicago. And the fries.... get an order! They are so good. Burger came out hot, with two very thin patties, delicious sauce, cheese and pickles. Simple but absolutely delicious. I will be back! read more

NADC Burger - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Save the money, go to Billygoat Tavern. NADC is overhyped/overpriced food, weird vibes, gave us draft in broken glass and cut my lip. read more

NADC Burger - Chipped draft. - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The smallest burger you will ever eat. 3 bites thats all you get for $16. Fries are an entra $5 as well and they are mid at best. Very disappointed. Shrinkflation at its best. read more

completlet terrible I watch employee let fries fall on counter then put on top of tray and give the food to another group which that food was originally mine I spoke up letting them kno I seen it head staff got very ignorant i ask for refund didn't want food he say step outside until refund I say no until my refund is initiated. all because I watch un sanitize things read more

Very cool atmosphere. Straight to the point. It could have fallen on cringey hipster burger vibes but this place is wiser than that. It doesn't claim the title of best burger I've ever had, but if you're in the area you'd be amiss to pass it up read more

Burger was great. 4.5/5 the 20% service fee they add on after the fact is a 0/5. Just raise your prices and stop being so shady about it. They expect a tip on top of the 20% service charge when you get the check. Still tipped 20% then and left, but won't be coming back to spend $50 on a burger with fries and a drink. read more

Really great burger. I think about her on a weekly basis. My expectations for smash burgers are much higher since I've had this one. I'm in love. read more

The service was top tier! Drew was super nice,warm and knowledgeable. I would go back for service alone. The old fashion was solid. Now let's get to the burger. The burger came out quick and it was hot and fresh. The ingredients were quality ingredients. I would give the burger a 7/10 but my friends felt the burger was 8/10. The secret sauce was yummy with a kick. It should be noted that there are no substitutions, but honestly you don't need any. read more

Solid burger, took forever to get it. I showed up 5 minutes after the restaurant opened and it wasn't crowded and it took 45 minutes to get my burger, kinda obnoxious read more

Dude!!!! I was in town for the 2023 Chicago marathon and wanted to go out downtown to celebrate. I can't lie, it was late and not a lot of restaurants were still serving food, so it was really my only option. BUT, their smash burger is probably one of the best burgers I've ever had. The kitchen staff brought it out to me about 2 minutes after I ordered it which was truly impressive. I would've got another burger but they're $16 and I ain't got it like that lol. The bartender took a while to get to us, but he was busy and I understand. He was really nice and gave me other recommendations as well! Small skate shop type theme which was different and cool. read more

Amazing ! I will most definitely be back the burger was so juice and flavorful ! Definitely not your typical smashed burger ... well done

Inside this neighborhood bar sits the best smash burger in Chicago, and its a collaboration between a Michelin starred chef and a professional skateboarder. the fries are crispy, and the beast mode fries are the toppings of the burger. The burger itself has two smashed patties of Iron table wagyu with their secret sauce, American cheese, onions and pickles. the burger is so soft and juicy, and I love the crispy edges of the patties, its just truly unreal. Staff are great too. read more

Hated the sauce and hated the jalapeños. One star for allowing modifications to the fries but not the burger. For the price and the insane service charge, such inflexibility on a food order is just stupid and a great way to mess with someone's food allergies. Never going back. read more

Probably one of the best burgers I've had in my entire life very very good recommend it I would definitely go back. I got it to go had it cold and it was very delicious so I'll be back again to try it hot. read more

Had high hopes for this burger joint, the smash burger was just mediocre. When I read that a Michelin star chef and a skate boarder decided to calibrate, it sounded like a great idea. I'm going to try the grill cheese next time, hopefully it won't be as disappointing. But the service was great. read more

To start, walking in, I have never in my life felt so unwelcome in a restaurant. It's bar service, so you have to walk up to the bar and order. I ordered and was asked if I wanted to close out my tab right away? They add a 20% service charge, they want that on top of the tip. I don't understand why? This is a bar which serves burgers. Place needs a deep clean. Flies everywhere. The kitchen looked terrible. The burger itself was ok but very salty. Absolutely nothing special about the burger. Salt and Red Hot Ranch are definitely better. The Beast Mode fries were terrible. Also very salty. It's shameful what this place charges for them. This place did not live up to the hype. Entitled owners, unpleasant staff and dirty restaurant is the bottom line. Don't disappoint yourself. read more

Chose to come here because it had good ratings. Was kinda disappointed with the fact that you can't take any ingredients out of the burger for ex jalapeños. The service was okay. You literally have to get up and order at the bar, your food comes out, then you gotta get up and pay at the bar. Plus they tip themselves $20 already additional to your bill. Total was $77. I don't think it was worth it. The ambience was okay, small place, decent seating. Overall the food was decent, nothing you couldn't have made at home. read more

Burgers are so damn good. Au Cheval is overrated. If you want a real cheeseburger come here. Oh and they play skate videos!

Burger was unreal. They have a special spicy ketchup, was pretty much drinking it. The cook was super cool guy... 10/10, highly recommend

Fire ass burger and the animal fries or whatever they called is super gasssss I mean just mouth watering makes me want to go right now lol so fire would recommend 10/10 read more

Best burger I've ever had! Definitely gonna be visiting this place often. Incredible!

Best smashburger in the CHI no doubt about it and the fries also My first time there was there first official opening week and I'm so damn glad I went. The burger speaks for itself with lots of flavor and just so damn GOOD. Great place to go get drinks as well and just kick it. Definitely going back asap read more

Food was meh, service is trash, they dont even bring water to the table and have the nerve to charge %20 service fee. Server even insinuated that we should tip more as the service was split amongst all staff. Mind you we had to get out own water. Not a damn chance I'll be back!!! read more

I bit into my burger and it was bloody. I asked the waiter if it could be cooked more. The manager came over yelling at me that they only do well done. After he was done, I showed him the bloody burger and he fixed it. That's no way to behave to a customer and dumb new waiter for not just going to the kitchen to get a new one. This was terrible. read more

This place is wayyy overrated. I was excited to try this burger after seeing it all over social media, it's really not worth it. The buns on my burger were super cold, and the rest of it was just okay. In all honesty the staff was very rude and off putting. I don't recommend :/ read more

My wife tricked me based off tik Tok review. Over priced burgers was charged a extra 20% for 2 adults and 2 children had 2 drinks (vodka Red Bull) bill was $151 and we sat at the bar.I never paid that much anywhere and we eat good. The fact that we spent that much on fly ass burgers not sitting well with me. She can't pick anymore spots for a while. Lol read more

The burger itself is actually pretty good. I'm not sure if it's worth $15 though. There is a 20% gratuity added on every order (even for take out) plus $6 fries so I paid about $30 total which is definitely too much for a burger and fries. I would skip on the fries for sure. Not sure if it was just my order but they were super super salty and I had to toss them. read more

The burger was pretty good very small servings which is frustrating as a burger isn't meant to be small but I digress. Prices were high for what we got ambiance was eh. Our server took our card to start a tab when no one at the table asked for drinks which was kinda weird. Wouldn't go back there's better burger places right up the street. Not hating just saying this place is very much overrated read more

Best burger in Chicago. I had The Loyalist burger a few weeks ago and can honestly say the NADC burger blows that one out of the water. Highly recommended. read more
