I had their wings and pizza delivered and was disappointed with the quality. I expected the food to be a little cold since it was delivered, but even after I reheated them, the flavor was below par for a "wing spot". You are better off finding an ATL wings for top tier wings. read more

Not quite sure why their rating is so low. Ivky snooty people maybe lmao.....This place is great. I ordered off grub hub all the time and they never disappoint. Always get everything exactly right and it tastes good. Wings might be on the small side but that doesn't change how good they are. Happy guest here! read more

Horrible service and experience. Came for dine in and was told 15 - 20 min. About 10 min later we called in a phone order so that it would be ready when we were seated and were told that they could not do that because it might be done before we were seated. When asked how much longer before we'd be seated I was told 15 minutes. We chose to order it for pickup at this point and were immediately offered a table. Pickup order was to be ready in 15 minutes when I called at 6:15. At 6:40 it was still not ready. I was given my food at 6:48 and had to go back and ask for napkins and silverware. I'm hoping that the food at least tastes good, but the experience has soured it for me. read more

Been coming here for 2 decades. This was the worst service and food.. there were 6 of us and our orders were coming out one at a time. So basically everyone watched each other eat.. wasn't even busy at all . Our server rolled her eyes when I told her my order was incorrect.. read more

If you like slightly warm (just barely above cold) food this is the place for you. The evening started out with a nice warm greeting but ended with a cold blast. The wing sauce had good flavor but when you bite into a cold wing it ceases to amaze. I placed an order for " America's favorite wing sauce" and the waitress did not understand what I meant as she did not know the menu made the above statement. I would heed the reviews and not try it unlike I did. Good luck. read more

We had not been here in a while, and we decided to go back and give it a try on New Year's Day for dinner. It was pretty disappointing. I used to order a sandwich that was like a french dip on a roll with caraway seeds on it and was disappointed that it is not on the new menu, but it got me to try something else. I ordered the chicken stripper plate with the new chicken and waffles rub. The chicken was good and I like the sweet flavor (our server Jackie gave me a good heads up to expect it to be sweet), but along side the 3 mid sized tenders was a small handful of fries. My husband a special chicken sandwich that was a limited time only special and he too got a small handful of fries on the side. His sandwich was just OK. Fries are super cheap - I don't know why they are being so tight with them. They were pretty yummy fries though. We both agreed that the portion sizes are much smaller than they used to be and were just unimpressed with the food. There was nothing wrong with the prep - it was as we ordered, and served hot, but it just didn't meet the high expectations we had become accustomed to. I do want to say that our server Jackie was doing a great job and we have no complaints about her. read more

I've lived in Ahwatukee for almost 10 years now and have gone to this native a handful of times. Each time I'm more and more disappointed by the service. The food was okay but the service was just plain bad. Our waiter seemed completely uninterested in making sure we were enjoying ourselves and he also was so soft spoken it was hard to hear him. It made me feel embarrassed having to ask him to repeat himself over every little thing; I, nor my husband, could hear anything he was saying. If you work in a sports bar type of restaurant, speak up. I'm not sure if the guy was just having a bad day or something, but it just wasn't enjoyable for us. Another thing, Typically at the end of your meal - waiters ask if you want dessert, instead we had to ask for it, ask for a refill etc. Our table was completely cleared off, moments away from getting the check and yet not once were we asked these things. It felt like we were being rushed out in a pretty empty restaurant. Idk I'm sure we'll come here again bc the food was decent. We just won't ever expect decent service. read more

I will never eat at this location again! I went in on a Friday afternoon with my two nephews, ages 10 and 7. My 7 yr. old nephew carried in his bag of lunch from McDonald's. We were seated in a booth; the waitress took our drink orders. Not a minute later the Manager (Brian) came over to our booth, seated himself next to my 10 yr. old nephew and inquired how our day was going. The manager then proceeded to advise me, he normally would not allow outside food to be eaten in his restaurant. I understood and completely accepted his request. However he went on to state "I will not kick you out this time! But next time you will know not to bring in outside food, which can cause food poisoning, and can be blamed on this restaurant"! I was shocked, this man would use the term "Kick you out" and refer to my nephew's food as possibly being poisonous. He should have called me to the side and simply explained outside food if not allowed, and left it at that! My seven year old nephew (in fear of his potentially poisonous burger) asked "Why is that man going to "Kick" us out? I simply greeted Manager Brian with a smile, and made a mental note never to return, and right this review! Poor customer service, rude manager, verbally threatening to children and customers; I have a very young look about me, however I'm 36 yrs. old and deserve to be treated respectfully! read more

I think this is the Native New Yorker that hits its demographic and executes its concept the best in the Valley. After all, It is JUST a simple sports bar, with plenty of HD screens in good angles, beer specials and very good wings. They maintain the feeling of a gamewatch spot better than the Mesa location, which appears to be more of a family dining spot, and reduce the frat-bar vibe of the Tempe location. I would consider NNY's wings the best in the valley for anyplace NOT names Hazlewood's. They have a great flavor, but they tend to mix in a few small afterbirth rejects into your basket and count them as one of your dozen. No fair. There is no reason to rush out and get to this NNY location if there is one by you, but if you are in Sprawltukee, its a more-than-suitable place to stop by for a serious game watch. *Side note: everytime I've watched a game of personal importance here, my rooting interest has lost. If you are this type of superstitious sports fan like I am, you might want to be mindful of a possible jinx. read more

My father drags me everywhere--from Fry's Electronics to Popeye Chicken (UGH). Native Grill & Wings is actually one of the few places in which I do not dislike anything. I decided to write a simple easy review on this particular location, so why not? Let's cut to the chase. Pros: I'm not exactly a sports fan, but this is DEFINITELY a place for one. There are TVs everywhere, throughout the patios, the indoor areas, and at the bar. They are all constantly switched on to ESPN, FOX Sports, and on rare occasions, ESPN2. From the looks of it, it seemed impossible to not have a clear view of the TV screen without having someone's head, arm, etc. block your way. We came on Sunday, and the wings are crazy cheap. The fish and chips had a pretty decent taste, as we split them all up between the three of us. The service was not particularly the nicest, nor the meanest, but was speedy when talking to us. They had great placing of all the heat lamps and chairs outside in the patio, so it is great to come during the winter. The location is fairly large, so you can almost always find a table to sit at. Cons: The patio had not many places to put your used cigarettes. I am not a smoker, nor do I give any offense to smokers, but the patio REEKS of smoke. The service here is fast-speaking, but not exactly fast-moving. We waited for several minutes between when we asked for the check and the delivery of the check itself. The fish and chips had decent taste, but not decent size. They were tiny compared to the fish and chips in the OTHER location for the same price and meal. I was really disappointed when I saw this. We did not get enough wings. There were only 4 wings for the 3 of us for EACH dish. Overall, this is simply not the greatest restaurant I've experienced. Its other competitors were able to show a performance at least twenty times better than this one. Thanks, but I'd rather visit the Ahwatukee location from this time on. read more

Eesh. I'm going to try to avoid this place. I'll admit it's not my style at all though it suits others just fine: not veg friendly, not energetic, not worth the money. I don't have to eat like a health nut to enjoy my food, but even their french fries suck. And that's my main criteria for judging mediocre venues with limited meatless fare. You could earn an entire star with good french fries despite a crappy atmostphere. Native New Yorker? Fail. The other food I saw wandering around looked pretty, um, bad...from what I hear the pizza is especially unappetizing. The waitstaff was average and on the slow side. The beer selection is ok and I sat contently with my Stella. But overall this is not my scene. read more

I can honestly say that this was one of the worst meals I have eaten in a long time. My boyfriend suggested a particular local sit-down pizza joint, so I drove to where I thought I'd seen it located, but it turned out to be Native New Yorker instead. We were hungry so we decided to give it a whirl anyway. My boyfriend is not hard to please when it comes to pizza, he's a standard pepperoni kinda guy. He ordered a 10" pepperoni pizza, which looked like your average pizza, no frills. After the first bite, he gave a thumbs down and made a sad face. All this, coming from a man who regularly eats junky chain pizzas without complaint. He said the crust was bland, the sauce didn't taste like much and it was waaaay greasy. I tried some myself and it was truly awful pizza. I ordered the Linebacker sandwich (turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato, mozzarella, avocado) which sounded promising and looked quite good as well. The turkey was standard shaved deli counter meat with little flavor, the lettuce and tomato was fine, the bacon added some much needed salt to the sandwiched , and the avocado was very unripe, thus flavorless. The only saving grace of the sandwich that made it palatable was the bread roll which had a decent crust on it. For my side, I opted for their "house-made chips". They looked awesome, a good golden brown and sliced very thin lengthwise. Sadly, they were served completely cold and undersalted. Some were pretty floppy and undercooked. I know they're potato chips, but was I wrong in assuming that they might have been fried to order and served hot? The more I think about this meal, the more upset I get. While the price for our meal wasn't outrageous, the food was still amazingly mediocre. I don't like knowing I could have gone to the Safeway and bought a pre-made deli turkey sandwich for $3.99 that would have been basically just as tasty as something I paid more than double for. I've noticed that many reviews mention the chicken wings as being especially good, but I don't know if I'll give them another chance so I could find out. read more

We were up in Phoenix earlier this week for a few baseball games and stayed on the PHX/Chandler side of town. This particular Native New Yorker was just a few minutes from our hotel, so we thought we'd give it a try since they have trivia (Buzztime...formerly NTN) and acccording to their website, several beers on tap! Beer selection was good, LIITs were excellent - and even better, we were pleasantly surprised by the food...better than your basic sports bar fare...it was good! The first night we tried the chicken strips with asian garlic dipping sauce on the side (slightly salty, but very good). Later we ordered a pepperoni pizza and thought it was just as good as Hazelwoods (with the exception of the crust, which I prefer to be as thin as possible). The next night we checked out their sandwiches; John had the turkey wrap (loved it; suggests getting a little thousand island dressing on the side) and I had the reuben which was equally good. It was a good crowd...we had some good trivia competition and no idiots anywhere in sight. They have a patio with misters as well as plenty of space inside. Loved our bartender Victoria, who is also one mean trivia player! If you're looking for a good sports bar, we can recommend this one! We won't hesitate to stop in again when we're in that part of town. read more

Came here today for the .49 cent wings with co-workers. Wings were good, but the service was bad. Very slow. Rarely got drink refills. Food took forever to come out (upwards of an hour for wings). Nice enough person, but we rarely saw her. Most other Natives are great, but this one in particular has consistently slow service. read more

I should have listened to the horrific reviews before we went in but we were starving and by the time we were going thru them- we had already been seated. The WORST possible service EVER. It was 7:30 On a MONday night- there were maybe 5 or 6 tables and yet it still seemed to take the waitress 12 min to bring waters. Not to mention the diet coke which she finally brought as a doctor pepper. 10 min later I get a diet coke and its flat. Ok, not her day personally but it sat on the edge of the table untouched the whole time and she didn't even acknowledge it. Food was boring and mediocre to say the least, salad was wilted and calzone was runny and burnt. seriously an hour and a half later she finally rolls around to check on us and bring the check, we mention the diet coke being flat and she apologized and took it away. Brings the check and the coke is on there. Ask her to please comp the soda which she says ok too, we give the card, bill comes back, the bill has now been charged WITH the soda still on. Let's not forget that she disappeared with the card and bill for an extra 8 min, yes I was counting. All and all, someone needs to get involved- like maybe a manager or someone who knows how to run a restaurant. This is absolutely unacceptable. And the whole vibe of the place was the same so j highly doubt it was just our one waitress. read more

This review is for Take-Out Service only: I frequently go to this Native to get hot wings on my way home from work. When you call you can expect to almost always be placed on hold before putting in your order. The time they quote is usually spot on. However, how you pick-up the wings is kind of inconsistent. Sometimes, they ask for the color and make of your car and meet you in the Take-out order parking lot; other times you have to go to the door and ask for your order. My order is always correct and the wings are still crispy when I get home, so overall this is still a convenient and good place for wings. read more

We went to the native and had wings 1 doz that were good but when the bill came they were $11.95 there was a charge for 1.25 times two so 2.50 for extras when I asked what the charge was for the waitress explained that wings are sold in 10s so 1.25 per wing?14.50 for a dozen?wow.they were also small.tasted good but never again read more

While I have not eaten at this particular NNY( I moved here from NY and is not that "native"...at all) it's 2 min away from where I live.Food is meh at the other ones though. I just saw Devon review and I'm appalled and disgusted. If in fact it's true, I will never visit this restaurant and will urge everyone I know to do the same as well. It is one thing to have different believes and a whole other to display such hatred and bigotry. I appreciate this type of reviews, that way I can avoid places like this. read more

Food and service was nothing far of average. Not having been to Native in many moons, we arrived at this destination as the chosen venue after a graduation. Understanding that this was a busy evening, the restaurant shouldve been well prepared for what was in store (my review is not based on their lack of preparation, rather what I experienced during my visit). Service 3: Our server could not provide any good recommendations on any of the food. And the one thing she did suggest was mediocre (pizza). All servers should be required to try each item on the menu. That way when a customer asks, "how's the ... ?", they can answer honestly vs. no answer at. As a customer, I want to hear how great things taste, not "I don't know". KNOW YOUR MENU! My real issue was with the children's food. We ordered 2 mac n cheese dinners, but only one showed up. We inquired with other food runners who claimed to be checking into the matter, still nothing. Finally, after asking a third runner, someone stepped up and personally owned the issue. After waiting 20 mins from the time we asked how much longer would it be for the second meal, it finally arrived. You would've thought this was gourmet mac n cheese. Nope! Straight up Kraft (but the fruit cup was pleasing). Our waitress NEVER came to confirm if everything was ok or if we needed anything else. Had she done that she would've known that we had a 4 year old who was extremely unhappy that all the other children had eaten and she hadn't. Servers: CHECK ON YOUR PEOPLE! Your tip depends on it. Food 3: as mentioned earlier, the food was mediocre at best. My pizza was nothing fancy. The children's mac n cheese was a knock-off version of Kraft (blue box version folks). I personally have no reason to return as I found nothing appealing on the menu that would satisfy my tastebuds. There was quite the selection of food on the menu but, I couldn't find anything that would be worth a second go round. read more

The Good: We absolutely love their wings and its becoming a regular for us to go every other Tuesday for their wing deal. We always get the honey hot wings and share a side of either regular fries or the loaded fries. The Bad: I do feel the wings are a bit too pricey, even on the deal days. Also, what is up with their high school hostesses!? They are incredibly rude and give dirty looks every single time we have gone, which is now around 7 times. Someone really needs to put these girls in check. Goodness. This is the reason for 3 stars instead of 4. I would actually give it 3.5 stars if I could. We like the atmosphere and it always seems clean and the servers have been very nice so far. read more

If you're not coming here for lunch, you're missing out. Just moved here from Southern California. I work 10-12 hour days so you better believe I value my hour lunch. This place doesn't disappoint. GREAT lunch prices and fantastic service! read more

The food was fine, the service was horrible. The dining room was 3/4 full but my drink wasn't refilled once. I waited a full 30 minutes for my check from the time she said she would bring it. I finally asked someone bussing tables because she's hadn't even come back by. Had my card in my hand when she finally dropped it off. She walked away without taking it. 10 more minutes to get her to come pick it up. read more

WARNING! My rating is based off the wings and beer. Nothing else on the menu. I was a big hooters fan, but when I moved here, everyone said try this place for wings, and I did and they are great! The best ones are the honey hot wings. I love coming here for football games tons of flat screens everywhere and happy hour is great 22oz of blue moon for $3 bucks cannot beat that price! By the way do not get the pizza it is really awful, I suggest NYPD for NY style pizza. read more

Food was good. Wings were better than average but the wait staff is what puts this place over the edge. Great service today and they had several big groups. No easy feat. I liked it and will be back again. read more

I found out about this place a few years ago while I was in high school. Tuesday nights is wing night, $0.25 wings, and its a damn good deal if you're into wings. The only catch is, that you have to buy a soda to get the special pricing. I kind of have an issue, if I drink a lot of soda and eat of lot of wings, the combination is bad about 20 minutes after I finish eating and I get home. What's worse, is that sometimes some waiters will make your whole table get drinks for the deal, and sometimes they won't. However, do they really have to make me feel bad for not getting drinks? I'm not easily embarassed with my family, but when this happens on multiple occasions, you get annoyed. Aside from this issue, the servers are friendly and nice. Drinks are refilled often, food is brought out fresh and hot. Wow, does this place have a ton of wing flavors. Almost all of the wing flavors are solid. I really enjoy all the possibilities. They don't charge for ranch like other places (I'm talkin' to you BWW), and they have ample amounts of veggies with each order. If you're in the mood for wings, I suppose this is one of the best places you can go to if you want to sample different flavors. The wings are also sized well compared to...BWW. I've tried a few things other than wings here, and to be quite honest I'm not impressed at all. If this place didn't have wings, it might have closed down a while ago. The atmosphere is very weird. Wing nights are usually full of immature high school students, and like Devon said, they're just plain bigots. I'm not surprised that the atmosphere of this place is very 'bar-like', like you see in the movies. Just imagine a typical southern bar... I'm a colored person, and when I go here, I don't feel very welcome by the crowd. It's harsh to rate the restaurant on this, because I feel that this isn't the restaurant's fault, but I'd like to be comfortable when I eat. Before I moved and experienced better hot wings, I would have rated this place 5-star. I went to this place at least 2-3 times a month. While I was away from Phoenix I happened to let my taste buds experience some succulent and better hot wings. The hot wings here are just very plain, no individuality to them. Throughout my travels, I've had some interesting hot wings that were especially unique. While the honey hot, teriyaki, and Parmesan dusted are all good flavors, I can only have so much of them. The service also brings this down a star. Also, it'd be great if this place did get a little bit more diverse. There are no sports bars that show futbol (I'm talking about soccer) games. I would gladly come here in the mornings to watch some European soccer (ESPN2 shows a lot of matches in the morning). However, I feel like this is such a closed sports bar in terms of diversity. American football, baseball, basketball. Cool... read more

Have been coming here for years and we came to eat chicken wings and they look like Cornish wings. Price is the same but wings are extra small. Great service like always but a rip off on their wings Not happy! read more

We used to frequent this location a lot when we lived in Ahwatukee. We were in the old hood and decided we wanted wings. Man, the flavor was great but the wings seemed to have shrunk tremendously. The table tents were sticky and the hostess told us it was happy hour but neither the hostess or waitress let us know what was on happy hour. TV's seemed to have multiplied and they are everywhere, even through out the dining room. A new wing place around the corner just opened and now regretting us not trying the new place. Same stale old joint. Yes joint. Not a restaurant. read more

Native Grill & Wings - Teeny tiny wings - New American Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

In looking for a place serving food after midnight we found that Native's (BTW, when did they shorten their name?) Full kitchen is open till 1am. We got boneless wings, I actually try this at almost every bar! Just love little pieces of chicken breast that's deep fried and covered is some kind of sweetish sauce. Tried their sweet bbq and it was decent. The breading quickly got soggy and the sauce was kind of sparse. Ended up just asking for extra BBQ, which they were happy to help with. There are just better wings and sauces at other places around here. We also got a burger and fries but the fries were kinda limp and the burger just wasn't anything to write home about. Overall, its just a very average place. I think maybe in n out with a burger and chocolate milkshake would better hit that 1am craving if you're not looking for a beer too. read more

I love natives but this particular locations had rude service me and my girlfriend went to go eat, I had ordered some wings and a soda, and my girlfriend ordered a zucchini and water, she does not drink soda. the waitress asked for our order so we gave it to her and then she told my girlfriend that she couldn't eat the wings because she didnt order a drink.(it was Tuesday wing special). So after that we just had a bad vibe, like how the hell are you gonna tell someone what to and not to eat. My girlfriend wasn't even going to eat the wings cause she doesn't like them. Through the whole time we were there we just felt like the waiter was watching us to see if she would eat the wings and charges full price. All because she got a water. read more

Went in with party of 8, hostess tried to seat us. 1 waitress had to many tables and wasn't able to take anymore. The other waitress who was able to take the party said " I don't want to." I kinda thought the customer at times should be given every opportunity, but in the case of tonight's visit that wasn't the case. Very disappointed and pretty sure Native will not be on the list of places to go, not refer friends to as this visit clearly showed that the guest is not treated with any respect. So, after seeing Native didn't want our business, we left. Pretty poor in my opinion. read more

I will never come to this native ever again. First we sit down and order the drinks but our waitress forgets till after we are almost done with our appetizers. Thats was okay....maybe she was having a bad night... Then she brings us the wrong order and says thats what we ordered...honestly I order the same thing every single time... She keeps making it sound like its our fault... Okay... Then when we are done eating, we stacked our plates to show her that we were ready to pay... But she sat in the corner with other servers getting a shoulder massage...wth. So my husband walks up to her to ask for the check on his way to use the restroom. As i waited...my husband comes back and still no check. In the meantime the server goes to the table behind us and chats with the customer about their favorite drinks...THEN tosses the check over my husbands shoulder onto the table without any words!!! WTF! read more

Shut it down. Abysmal location, abysmal service. Buffalo wings should never be served cold. Actually calling them chicken wings is a misnomer - these are sparrow-sized wings at best. And the menu revamp dumped the most Western New York sandwich of them all - the Beef on Weck. read more

You can never go wrong with native! Long live native honey hot wings! I used to come here almost once every two weeks and why the hell have I stopped?!? This place is the bomb-diggity! The beer God's are alway flowing with cold ones and the wings are always lip-smacking awesome. They also apparently added dry-rubs flavors as wing options but I wasn't in for trying a new flavor, I'll leave it for others more daring. However I wish they never got rid of the curly fries as those were my favorite(even our server agreed), definitely a sad day to all native curly fry lovers. The atmosphere was pretty chill and a great place to have a guys night with big screen TV's galore. Apparently it's also the place to be for trivia night on Fridays as it was jam-packed. With it being such a busy night (and I realized Fridays are busy) the food and drinks came out fast, a plus service in my book. I'll see you again before I two weeks my long life friend, native! read more

Great food and service! Beer is always cold and the staff is friendly and fast! Try the buffalo dip, good stuff! read more

See all

Came in at 9:00ish on a Thursday night. Walked in the door, with 4 people standing at the host stand chatting. We stood there awkwardly for a minute just looking at them until they asked us if we wanted to be seated. Ordered our 15 pack with 3 sauces. The wings came out quickly, but some were cold, and most didn't even have sauce. I liked how they were cooked (crispy) however. Server did fine but the food was disappointing. Probably won't be back. read more

One thing Native does well is wings. I usually get their Asiago Dusted Parmesan wings. Love them. They are a bit oily and greasy, but hey.. they're wings! This last trip I went my buddy and I ordered those wings, but on the menu they show up as Asiago wings going on medium wings. I asked them to put them on the hot instead. But instead, they gave us regular hot wings with Parmesan on it.. So... the wings weren't great. Was bummed, but I'll go again down the road. read more

My husband just went to pick up wings for me since we received a gift certificate for a free entree (up to $10 value it says). They refused to accept it and told us it's $10off. I haven't been to the restaurant due to a past bad experience and here we are again. They argued with my husband and refused to take their own gift cert. My husband went to barros instead and picked up wings and pizza. If you're looking for bad customer service this is your place. read more

Native Grill & Wings - New American Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Visited this location for the first time tonight. I had the California Chicken sandwich and substituted the broccoli for the fries The chicken sandwich was excellent, very tasty. However the broccoli was very bland like it was washed under hot water and served. It definitely could have used a step up or two in flavor. For dessert I got a piece of cheesecake to go with strawberries. It was a good portion, but just average in flavor. However, they did't pack any plastic wear or napkins with it which I would assume there would be with a to go order. read more
