NADC Burger

I've been trying to try this burger for about a year now. Finally had the chance with the family and it didn't disappoint. This is a classic perfectly cooked smash. The jalapeños give a nice touch without really bringing any heat. The ketchup had a kick that my kids said was spicy but I loved. My wife and I had a couple happy hour espresso martinis before dinner and it all really hit the spot. Great to have another good burger option in town.

A very unassuming bar off of Grand, The Drop In is a great place to get a quick bite to eat. After hearing about the NADC burger I had to check it out for myself. I went in early on a Monday and I was the only one there aside from one other patron, super quiet. They only serve the burger and fries, and nothing else. Love the simplicity of it all. The food was out really quickly and I thought it was a pretty decent burger. I wouldn't call it my favorite in the city but it was well made and I appreciated all the homemade elements to make it what it is. It was pretty heavy though and I wasn't able to finish it all. Would I come back again? Possibly. But there are a lot of great burgers in the city that I need to try first!

Great lil neighborhood bar, no frills. Solid beer selection, good service. But the NADC burger... that's why you really come here. She ain't pretty/IG-worthy & not the most aesthetically-pleasing but WOW she's so tasty. Two wagyu patties with some pickles, cheese, & a secret sauce (I might be missing something else?) make for some delicious bites. Definitely in my top 5 burgers of Chicago for sure, check them out!

If you like Mezcal, do yourself a favor and get the disco flip. Hands down best burger I've had in Chicago. Great staff, super friendly. Small, intimate setting but the do everything well. The tip is included, but that's stated on the menu and the bartender also made us aware. Would go back and would recommend!

My friend and I really wanted a burger on a Saturday night, and apparently so did the rest of Chicago. After many tries, we landed in the drop in. I walked in and managed to get the only 2 available seats in the whole placeBar is pretty small/narrow. Our seat faced the kitchen so we watched their burger making process. Everything moved pretty quick. I had a pornstar martini, the burger and beast mode fries. They take their burger very serious, no changes are made. It was a delicious burger and. Not over priced.

Such good burgers! You can only get the burger and fries which are the only thing on the menu. You also can't make substitutions, so might not be the best place if you are a picky eater! The bartender was great and very attentive. You should expect to wait a bit if you come with a big group or you come at a busy time, but well worth the wait!

One of the best damn burgers in town. Small cozy bar with friendly staff. This is not only a delicious burger for a bar but this is up there with Au Cheval. The burger is pretty damn heavy so beware but gat damn it's delicious. Very juicy and flavorful with all the toppings. Also had the beast mode fries which comes with all the toppings of their cheeseburger. As delicious as they were, I was so full from the burger, the extra toppings on the fries were a bit much for me but on their own they're like a 7.5. Fries were nice n crispy just how I like'em. Next time I'll get the burger and plain fries.Bartenders were so hospitable and talkative. Will most definitely return. Highly recommended.

Delicious burger, vibes like the name, drop in, don't question or try to modify the menu. Order the burger, order the fries, have a beer and head on. Great spot.

One of the best burgers I've had in Chicago! So so good. Fries were crispy and tasty, as well, and the ketchup tasted like it was made in-house.We came on a Sunday shortly after they opened and seating was already slim. There was a group of 6 of us. We were able to snag 4 seats at the bar and 2 people stood. Right after we ordered, a table in the back opened up, so we squeezed in there.Food came out in a reasonable amount of time and service was friendly.If you go at a peak time, you'll like need to wait as it's a small dive bar. It will be worth your wait tho!!

Went here last night with friends for some burgers, fries, and drinks at 7pm. There are only 2 food items on the menu; burger and fries. We were first told that they had no craft beer available because it was broken, then we were told that they ran out of fries. Nothing like a $16 burger and then being told they have no fries left at 7pm on a Wednesday....
