Gavin Humes, CEO of Scratch Restaurants, confirmed the closure and said it shuttered on Sept. 29, 2026, because of &#8220;an issue with the lease\/landlord that we were unable to resolve.&#8221; It isn&#8217;t clear what the issue was.<\/p>\n<p>NADC occupied a former two-story bar that construction crews renovated in just 21 days in mid-2025. The restaurant often felt dark and a little forlorn, and maybe that was on brand: Some of NADC&#8217;s dozen-or-so restaurants are in unexpected places. The remaining NADC in North Texas, in Fort Worth, is tucked\u00a0inside a comedy club, a true &#8220;if you know, you know&#8221; location.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In Fort Worth and in Dallas, the burgers were worth the hunt. The restaurant name, NADC, stands for Not A Damn Chance, which is professional skateboarder and burger shop co-owner Neen Williams&#8217; catchphrase.<\/p>\n<p>Williams and Phillip\u00a0Frankland Lee, a chef, created NADC in 2021 as a pandemic project.<\/p>\n<p>The menu features one main burger. Customers can customize it, but, as\u00a0Humes told The News, &#8220;we wouldn&#8217;t recommend it.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Would Dallasites stand for a bossy burger menu?<\/p>\n<p>Actually, I leaned in. NADC&#8217;s signature smashburger was delicious: small, juicy and rich throughout, and just on the edge of salty. Each one\u00a0consists\u00a0of two Wagyu beef patties topped with onions, American cheese, pickles, house-made burger sauce and &#8220;slightly tamed jalape\u00f1os,&#8221; according to the restaurant menu.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It seems especially satisfying as a late-night bite for\u00a0bargoers, but I wonder if those crowds came.\u00a0Humes said he&#8217;d consider looking for other locations in D-FW for NADC.<\/p>\n<p>NADC Burger has one location in D-FW, at 604 Main St. (inside Big Laugh Comedy Club), Fort Worth. Three other NADCs are in the Austin area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The restaurant was open for just over 13 months on Dallas&#8217; McKinney Avenue.
