Stopped by 30 minutes after opening and place was closed up. Website and food apps all showed same opening time. They dont care about customers

Well, yes, fantastic burger. Great fries. Drinks were fine. Laid back atmosphere. I love that the menu is just burger, fries, and ice cream. That's confidence! Drinks were fine. Back room was playing mellow music at a volume that allowed for conversation. Nice!

The best bar in Austin! Chris makes the best old fashions and Sharon doesn’t miss with the espresso martinis. Clarkson is the best and here to take care of you. Come for the live music, stay for the staff ❤️

Was looking for NADC burgers and didn’t realize this establishment that it is inside of (idle hands) was a bar (I don’t go clubbing/bar hopping and this was in the afternoon. So it didn’t look like a bar and I just didn’t know), walked in a little confused on where to sit or order, see a big Hispanic dude (staff of Idle hands) and I go “Hi, um..” (big smile on my face, friendly) and the guy cuts me off and yells “IDs!” Not friendly at all. Showed IDs and then he just walked off, so we followed him assuming he’s taking us to get seated? He turns around and makes us an ugly face and we ask “oh, um where do we sit” and he yells “this isn’t a restaurant man! This is a bar, go find your own seat” and we go “oh, ok. Where do we order” and he he points at a hallway inside the establishment w a sign of NADC burgers. And walks away. I can’t describe just how ugly and rude this man was. Now for the food review: Then, we order the burgers. $50 some for 2 burgers and 1 fry. It came out super fast so that was good. Burger was ok. It had a lot of flavor, so that was good, but the burger had to much going on. Super sloppy. Too much sauce, etc. buns were totally soggy even tho we had just gotten them. Fries were ok. Nothing special. All in all, it was not worth the price, especially including the parking situation (no parking, had to pay to park in a parking lot nearby.. $26 for 1hr) and very unfriendly environment of the establishment.

Really great atmosphere that’s fun and inviting. The staff is friendly, good music playing and NADC (if you don’t know, go and check it out) is inside!

Celebrating Yoni and Michelle!
Pina colada over priced and taste like puke. $15 for a tiny wine glass of frozen garbage. Why was it so sour and gross?!

the over priced burger is ok... you'll still be hungry afterwards (unless you eat like a bird). The drinks and waitstaff are great though
