The story
NADC Burger, tucked at 25 Cleveland Place in downtown New York, has quickly earned a 4.4-star rating with a genuinely different take on the smashburger. Its patty uses full Japanese Wagyu beef, then gets topped with jalapeños and pickles—a hybrid approach that sets it apart from the typical smashburger. The result is a burger that feels both familiar and unexpected.
Jack’s Dining Room, one of the first creators to spotlight the newcomer, ranks this burger among his top three smashburgers in NYC. That concise, enthusiastic endorsement has helped generate real buzz for a downtown spot that’s already making its mark.

Jack's Dining Room raves about the smash burger, a crisp-edged, juicy patty that defines the menu. The overall vibe is a celebration of unfussy, high-quality fast food done right.
“Oh my god, the river of juices coming out of this burger is disturbing. The jalapenos and pickles kind of cut through the fat of the Wagyu beef and it has the perfect crisp and lace on the outside, but I love that it's not too smashed. So many smash burgers are literally so thin — it's like rubber. I don't even know if you call this a smash burger, it's kind of like a hybrid. That's what happens when you have a Michelin star chef just whipping up burgers in the back. I would say this is easily in my top three smash burgers already.”
