NADC Burger

Hands down one of the best burgers we’ve had! So good we came back the next day. The burgers were seasoned perfectly and had adequate toppings. The burgers were so fresh!!! They’re proven since the burger was just as good if not better the second time around. The only downfall is the location. There is no parking and the location is inside of a lounge/club area.

This location honestly sucks. Not even close to the same burger they make at other locations. And they were out of fries…

Burgers were amazing, my boyfriend and I went for the first time and is now regularly going every week. It’s unfortunate that they’ll be leaving this spot pretty soon but loved their burgers and fries. 10/10 would recommend!!

Although the meat smelled rotten, the taste was OK and I didn't get sick.
Food was very oily though.
Overall, the atmosphere was nice and the staff is friendly.

Unfortunately, this was the worst hamburger I've ever had. The salt and black pepper were completely overdone. My wife couldn’t finish her burger, and we both felt sick for two days afterward, having eaten nothing else that day. I suspect the meat might have been spoiled, with excessive seasoning used to mask the taste. While the service was friendly, the atmosphere felt more like a bar than a restaurant, and it wasn't ideal for dining with my young child. Overall, it was a disappointing experience that has made me reconsider eating out.

Easily the best burger I’ve ever had in my life. The fries too & they even season the ketchup. Shoutout to everybody in that kitchen & shoutout to Neen Williams!!

Did not eat here. My husband is disabled and this restaurant refused to let us eat here because of our service dog.

One if the best burgers I have had on htx. I ate it before I got home.

NADC Burger (Not a Damn Chance Burger) has been all over my Instagram feed, so my son and I decided to check it out. When you first walk into Lustre Pearl, where NADC is located, it’s not immediately obvious where to find them. You’ll need to head to the left of the bar on the first floor, right under the armadillo painting over the door. It’s a bit tucked away, so keep an eye out!

We arrived around 5:30 PM on a Sunday, and the place was nearly empty, which worked out great for us. The NADC staff was friendly and quick with our order. I opted to order two NADC Burgers for myself and one for my son. Each burger is priced at $16 and already comes with two patties, so you really don’t need to add a third unless you want to. We also ordered 2 servings of Beast Mode fries (regular fries are $5, and adding Beast Mode toppings brings it to $8). The burgers were fantastic—perfectly cooked and just the right size to satisfy us. The fries were super crispy, even with the Beast Mode toppings, though one order would have been enough to share.

As for Lustre Pearl, it’s a cool spot with a laid-back vibe and a second-story area. I’d read some reviews about bad service, but we didn’t have any issues, likely because it wasn’t busy. However, my Shiner Bock was very flat, and my son’s Coca-Cola was also lacking in fizz, which was a letdown. I’d also seen complaints about a 20% extra charge on tabs, but I paid cash for our drinks and didn’t notice anything unusual. The prices seemed reasonable.

Overall, we had a good experience with NADC Burger—delicious food and decent service, though the drinks could have been better. If you’re planning to visit, I’d recommend keeping an eye on your tab, finding free parking if possible, and maybe sticking to the burgers, which are definitely worth trying.

Parking: There are some free parking spots but they fill up fast. Cheaper parking down the street but you will walk a little and may melt before you get inside

The burger and fries (regular) were delicious! Burger is balanced to perfection. Where to order is a bit hidden so you may need to ask the bartender. It's a bit loud

Awful burger. Like actually bad. We were hyped about trying it because of the Austin location but this is not even worth the money. Soggy bread greasy and wet burger and bad fries. It was such a let down and the service around the area wasn’t great either. Not sure how to explain how bad the burger was, let’s just say some traditional fast food burgers are better and have more taste. Awful presentation as well. See pictures attached.
