The Drop In

Super GemRiver West · Bar/Smash Burger Community-sourced, unverified
📍 415 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60654

The Drop In is home to the NADC Burger -- a collaboration between professional skateboarder Neen Williams and Michelin-starred chef Phillip Frankland Lee -- a double Texas-wagyu smashburger with American cheese, secret sauce, onions, pickles, and pickled jalapenos; fries are the only other menu item.

★★★★☆ 4.2 via Google

The smash burger is the everyday order, but the $18 burger/shot/beer combo after 10PM is the deal that makes a late night out feel like a plan instead of an accident.
