I have to say what a good burger! It almost became my number one, but then again I did eat it the next day. It still was very good. It was cooked just the way I liked and when all of the extra ingredients I love to have on a burger. The thing I loved most about this burger, was as that the actual meet had flavor. Most burger meet is disguised by all of the toppings, but this you can taste the patty was well seasoned. As for the fried I was not a big fan of, but I would definitely go back for that all beef juicy patty. The location is cool, plenty of seating, even have backyard seating that may be used in warmer weather. Customer service wasn't bad. The guy who took my order was friendly and explained to me they only sell one kind of burger and they had some sort of "Happy Hour " special going on that included fries for a special price. If you're a burger lover, this place is a must try. Two thumbs up! Happy Yelping! read more

NADC is tough to evaluate. The Wednesday night I was there, there were no customers in the store. Service was very quick and friendly. The store was understandably very clean and orderly around 9:30 PM. I ordered the Happy Hour special, double cheeseburger and fries for $18 and a bottle of water was five bucks extra, roughly $25 after taxes. Nice atmosphere with an open front side to the street around the corner from the Six Train at Spring Street, Cleveland Place and Lafayette. NADC is another smashed burger spot, joining the legions of smashed burger joints in NYC, but the meat is not nearly smashed to smithereens as we see elsewhere. The meat is advertised as 100 percent Japanese Wagyu beef, not American as oft seen. The fatty nature of Wagyu on the griddle produces oil that some may find greasy, but the richness of the meat was challenging to eat completely. I ordered a double with cheese. Most doubles are nothing, but this is substantial and very filling. A single patty would likely satisfy most people. The jalapeno peppers and pickles are needed to counter this level of richness. Their special sauce lends very little I could detect. Their ketchup has a little spice to kick I could not identify. It may be a touch of horseradish, but a very light touch. This ketchup goes well with the generous serving of fries. The fries were crispy outside and fluffy inside, but not as remarkable as one would think. In fact, that summarizes what I think overall. 100 percent Japanese Wagyu sounds great, but the result is not as remarkable as one would expect; though, this was one of the most filling burgers I have eaten...ever. If you have a ravenous appetite, come get this double cheeseburger and give your feedback. 3.5 stars read more

Ultra casual spot with a simple short menu. Burger + fries or beast mode fries. It was okay.. the secret sauce is mid, the food is salty af and greasy. Compared to other spots in the city it doesn't hold up. The service is not bad, they weren't particularly welcoming but not rude either. Cold metal seats and overpriced food. Skip for me read more

Came upon recommendation from a local. I got the kid's cheeseburger because I can't eat too much on my own, but it was actually really good. The burger was flavorful and juicy, and I liked dipping it in their sauce. The fries are fried super crispy in beef tallow. Sheesh it was good! Next time I'll have to try the regular sized burger read more

The burger is juicy, saucy, greasy and a lot of napkins required. The fries are crisp, perfectly seasoned with a light batter and just the right hit of salt. Beverage options are limited to bottled drinks only, no fountain sodas available. Plenty of room to sit either inside or in the huge back area. Great for groups. Don't let them talk you into the double patty or the tricked out fries. It's too much food! They are big on the upsell. FYI. They occasionally run a happy hour special, limited items and certain times. You have to ask though, no signage anywhere. read more

Yum love this 100% Japanese Wagyu beef burger!!! It's rare to find a legit wagyu beef burger and I love how simple the menu is-burger, fry, milkshake. It's a collaboration between professional skateboarder Neen Williams and Michelin-starred chef Phillip Frankland Lee. The fries are cooked in 100% beef tallow, which already sets them apart read more

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. read more

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. read more

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... read more

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. read more

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. read more

NADC was nice and solid, i accidently ordered two, but enjoyed them both at different points during the day. Its in the center of NY so parking will be a hustle if you are driving in. Great burger joint for sure. read more

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. read more

TBH, I think McDonalds has more flavor and balance. The two flavorless hatched (not smashed) patties slid around a greasy roll that flattened to less than a quarter inch. The over-abundant cheese sauce overwhelmed everything. The jalapeño additions were surprisingly mild but really gave the only flavor. I couldn't finish it. The fries were ordinary, with what seemed to be some sort of artificial crisp. Oh yea: not my type of ambiance. Concrete floors, metal tables and chairs, loud rap and a screen with skateboarders. I should have listened to my friends. read more

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 read more

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. read more

Cool burger spot. There's only one option to order and it's "the burger" NADC. Service was fast not sure if this place is classified as a fast food joint but my order came out quickly and it was a busy Saturday. The food is a bit pricey especially if you do the fries and soda. Comes out to like $30+. Highly recommend just to get the burger only. read more

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. read more

This place is the real deal, absolute best burger I have, this and another burger spot up in Sparta is tied for me almost but this one is almost more juicer somehow, but man this burger and the beef tallow fries are insane, this place is one of a kind, worth the drive here in every way and I don't give out 5 stars easily or say this at all ever, it's all over Instagram but when I went for lunch on a Thursday it was dead, hidden gem, absolute experience, Enjoy ! read more

It was a tasty and incredibly juicy burger, love the fact they have napkins at each table ... you will need about 20 of them that's how messy these bad boys are but if your a burger lover it's worth the mess. Burger looked a little small but I just had one burger and was full for hours and satisfied read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

$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... read more
