Native New Yorker knows their wings! I would only come here for the wings, and the wings are why I come here. That, and it's a decent place to sit and hang out with some friends, and maybe watch a game (or 7). The best part about the wings are all the flavor options. You don't have to get full orders of one flavor, so I tend to mix and match. I love the pineapple teriyaki and honey bbq, and the asian garlic ones are pretty good added in for interest. I'm sure the spicy varieties are great, but unfortunately, I am a wimp. The celery sticks are even good, none of that not-yet-ripe, inch-long, only-2-pieces business. I haven't tried any of the other food... I haven't felt the need to do so yet. There's a patio if the weather permits. It has its own bar and some TVs, so it's nice if you're there for the sports. Inside, there are more than enough TVs to scream at. I shouldn't have written this review so early, I'm going to be daydreaming about chicken wings all day! read more

Unfortunately, this place barely gets three stars now. The good: -Wings. They have always been good, and are still excellent. Great special (49 cents per wing) on Sundays during football. -Smoking area. Although I quit years ago, this place has an awesome patio/bar area for smokers. Climate controlled (misters and heat lamps) for summer/winter and new TVs, which are great for watching sports. The bad: -Management sucks. The service is chaotic on NFL Sundays, and I asked one of the managers walking by for a napkin, since the food runner didn't bring me one with my wings. The manager with slicked back hair and the tatts on his forearms blew me off. My waitress was overworked, but cool. The staff has to wear these lame jerseys now, which gives this place a more corporate feel, similar to BWW. -Prices. They have gone up significantly. Better values at many other places in Tempe. The rest of the food is mediocre. -No more trivia. They quit providing video trivia/poker. Might as well go to BWW if you are looking for a wing joint that has trivia/poker. We used to play poker at Native in groups out on the patio, but no longer. read more

I have been going here for Tues. 1/2 price wings for a long time. Now my Tues. plans have changed about two weeks ago, as the bill came the server informed us that the price of wings went up .10 each. That was just rude- I mean tell me before I order. They said the wings are bigger now. Not by much-there are many other places that have good deal on wings. See ya - gotta go for the better deals read more

As an ACTUAL native New Yorker, this place is a real disappointment. Breaded wings? Ranch with the wings (not offered the choice)? Blue cheese from a jar with no chunks and that xanthum gum shine on top? The owners might have once been from Buffalo, but boy have they pulled up those roots. I will say the wing sauces and pizza were decent and the restaurant was clean. The manager however took the time to explain his Sinus infection to guests in the rest room...really dude? Come on! If I was in a group and everyone wanted to go...I would. I might however bring my own Blue Cheese. read more

Went in because Native has always been my favorite go to wing shop. Me and my friend had gone in after a long day of moving houses to get beer and some wings. The waitress hardly recognized we were even at this restaurant. We were definitely forgotten about. By the time we had gotten our beers they were warm because they had been sitting on the bar and the waitress never brought them over to our table. After that we received our food, all we ordered was wings, just wings, and of course the wings were cold because again, the waitress had forgotten to bring our wings to or table when they were ready in the kitchen. Very unhappy with my experience at this particular location. I have not been into this location since the incident happen and probably would not go back. read more

I come here every Tuesday for wing night and have never had a bad experience. My favorite flavor by far is strawberry hot. The environment is friendly and the staff is awesome. Great sports bar in my opinion. Desert is to die for. Definitely recommend coming here! Sitting at a table or booth? Ask for lily! She is wonderful and upbeat. Without question she is always willing to assist. See the stars above all go to lily! read more

Native Grill & Wings - Sports Bars Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I haven't been here for a couple of years, however I bought some parts for my daughter's car at Auto zone in the same parking lot and I was thirsty and hungry. Probably 4 other customers on a Thursday afternoon, the bartender apparently couldn't hear very good and got irritated when I talked louder than the juke box. Food was good and her attitude was poor, I really don't care just send me my food and drink. Met up with a friend and she ordered a beer and the same waitress asked my friend to repeat her order,we were across the bar from her, I asked for change for different music on the juke box,put $5 invabd over the next 1.5 hours never heard a single song that I paid for. The waitress loaded up the juke box for her shift,crappy music. The $5 I put in to the juke box was her tip. I won't return here for a while. read more

I've unfortunately been here 3 times because I live within walking distance. Don't remember what I got the first time but it sucked - the second time I got nachos- HOW CAN YOU MESS UP NACHOS? I don't know, but the native New Yorker knows. This time we came for wing night. My husband liked it which is why I gave it an extra star. Buffalo wings were okay, honey bbq wings were okay, buffalo ranch wings were the absolute worst thing I've ever eaten at a restaurant. Tasted like salt and nothing else. My husbands beer was flat and he ended up giving it to the people next to us. Water was warm. Restaurant was very hot. Service was not bad. They replaced our wings when we told them it was inedible. The waitress said she knows they're not good but a lot of people like them. This information would've been useful YESTERDAY! Also, two dozen wings come with the smallest saddest celery sticks ever and no carrots read more

We gave them a second chance today, worse than a month ago. Something is seriously wrong with the management and operations of this restaurant. Upon walking in for a business lunch there was no one at the host station and it took 7 minutes to even be acknowledged. Once seated it took 15 minutes for the server to take our order. In fairness she had about 6 tables and only looked like 2 servers were working, but the place was only 1/3 full. The bartender also did an excellent job of ignoring the people standing at the door as there was no host. Food mediocre, fries cold, and took FOREVER to get the check and cash out. 1.5 hours for a "quick" lunch. I won't be back you made a business lunch with a client very awkward with your poor service on a place I suggested. read more

If i can rate 0 stars i would Horrible service!!! wow!! i brought my family that was from out or town making this place the best place to eat tempe we get the server steven great server But we waited 45 min for nothing 45min after ordering our food. they bring out my daughters slider and frys cold by the way my other kids are crying because they didnt get their food then we waited 1hr finally i decided to walk up and ask whats takeing so long your not busy inside to only see by the kitchen a bunch of food sitting on the warmers and the workers laughing and pokeing each other playing around like children not being professional by any means i asked for manager as i explained our concerns she gave me a dirty looks real snoddy and attitude. so i payed the 25 dollars for my 2 beers and 4 sodas and we left to go to applebees i will not reccomend or ever come back to this native location again until u guys do some clean up in the kitchen and workers read more

First and foremost, WOW. The bartender here acted like an absolute child and tried to create confrontation over the way my friend grabbed her ID back. She asked if my friend if she had an "attitude" my friend then answered "no, I have just tried to order a drink with now two people and would just like to order one." The bartender then flipped out again, like a child, saying "I will not serve you because I don't like your attitude" ?????? It was the most bizarre, unprofessional, honestly ratchet customer service I've ever received from an establishment. Apparently I should have paid attention to the trash reviews. Sad day because my friends and I LOVE Native and have never had a bad experience until this location. Bartender honestly deserves to lose her job. read more

Grant was absolutely wonderful!!!! Very attentive considering his section was pretty busy! We sat in the booth next to the host stand and your hostess (blonde, glasses, with a maroon bow) was pretty rude to guests coming in. I watched her roll her eyes about 5 times and while she was cleaning off menus she was slapping them on the counter next to her. Kinda odd. Love coming here! read more

I came here from out of town because I was told they have the hottest strippers, I was a bit disappointed when I realized they were talking about chicken wings. None the less, our server Amy was amazing very helpful in selecting the hottest strippers available. Don't let these other reviews fool you this is actually a very fine establishment. I will DEFINITELY be eating here next time I'm in town! read more

Food is really good and they're open till 2 am and serve food super late which is great. The service is god awful i don't know why i keep coming back. It's very close to my house. Each server has 7-8 tables and they can't keep up. I ordered wings and a salad an hour ago still nothing. Asked them to wipe the table and that got completely ignored. I wish they weren't so dumb then they could maybe hire a couple more people. Even when i walked through the door it took 10 mins for anyone to even notice me waiting. This place is known for terrible service among my social circle already. Food is 5 stars but the service is -5 stars. Figure it out. read more

The food was good as always but mostly wanted to give Rihannon (Rihannan?) a good review. Super friendly and attentive. From one server to another thank you for continuing to provide great service with everything going on right now. :) read more

We ordered wings off of postmates so we couldn't really send them back or get extra sauce. None of the wings we ordered had even a little sauce on them, and they also didn't include celery or the extras that we ordered. Frustrating when it was a delivery and we can't do much to get it fixed. Disappointed that we spent so much on half ass wings read more

Native Grill & Wings - Boneless medium wings - Sports Bars Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Native New Yorker in Tempe was OK, I had not been to this location in several years and was waiting for a friend that lives near this location. I know they are famous for their wings but I was not in the mood for them today so I got their Club wrap with fries and a coke. Along with some fried mushrooms. The total was 15 bucks which I thought was a bit expensive for the little bit of food I got, and I could of got the same thing pretty much that was bigger at subway for 7 bucks. Plus that the coke tasted watered down. Everything was served promptly and my service was good, the decor is cool definitely a good sports bar with TV's everywhere you look. I will say that the food was OK, but afterwords my stomach hurt for several hours afterwords, the fries and mushrooms were really greasy so not sure if it was the grease or something else, but I would say that I would probably not eat here again if I had a choice. read more

It is the closest sports bar, so when playoff time rolls around I have to get my fix. But wait, I'm a Red Sox fan. Whatever, I went in anyways not really caring for rivalries. I didn't notice an overwhelming New York vibe or anything, just a table full of hooligans in the booth next to us. I was somewhat amused by the company logo upon looking at the menu. Expecting a gangster Yankee theme, it was humbly a chicken riding a buffalo. Our server was extremely pleasant, although perhaps had her hands full with the table next to us. My beer ran out and sat there arid for some time, whether that means I have a problem or not it was still a slight buzz kill. I began with 6 Wings and then dived into a Skyscraper Burger- which was absolutely delicious! Being one of the largest items on the menu I had to tackle it due to the nature of my appetite. Although pricey, the Burger is probably worth it and the wings were solid. Massive TV's are everywhere, and it is a very comfortable setting... I liked it and will probably go in again for the upcoming season. read more

Wings were small. Chicken and Waffle flavor was NOT good. $26 for 15 wings after delivery charge...not worth it

Native is a fun local bar that has amazing Sunday and happy hour deals. The food is tasty and the bar tenders are always nice. If you sit at the bar, there are TVs in nearly every walk in the room and so there is never not a spot to watch. Always a good place to meet up with a few friend and if the weather permits, the patio is not bad either. If you don't want to go out, no worry as Grubhub, postmates, door dash and many other companies deliver. read more

The bartender female that works nights she's a really sweet person but at the same time I ordered two Long Island Iced teas and both were very terrible tasting.Now long Island Iced Teas supposed to have seven different Liquors but this bartender poured 4 different, now I sat there and watched her.But I did let her know that I wasn't happy with it and I wasn't rude about it also I just feel that if you are a bartender and your customer is asking you two make it right you should be able to do that I wasn't asking for my money back or anything like that, I just thought she could have been better with the service. I don't think I will go back and order a Long Island from there they taste worse than Applebee's. read more

We have lived Native since their $.10 wings days and I was in high school. Tonight we met Doug, our server who was great, and Marcus the manager who was impressive in his presence and attention to detail. We have missed him in the last ten years, and that's a shame. Tonight we ran across their Mango Chamoy Tajin wings....a TOTAL WINNER!! Great job Native!! read more

If you get really excited while watching football then I suggest not coming here to watch your favorite team. I came here one Sunday afternoon for some wings, a beer, and my favorite team and ended up getting in trouble for throwing an "fbomb". LAME. I was throwing obscenities within my own table.. but my bad, that's not allowed at a "family place". Note to parents: if you're bringing your child to a sports bar on a Sunday filled with grown men and alcohol, expect the worst. I went to a NNY in Anthem and loved it. People yell and scream (yeah even bad words =X) and no one gets in trouble. That's the way sports are meant to be watched! BTW, I know 2 people who got food poisoning from their greasy wings. Enough said. read more

I've been to a couple Native locations before, and I've got to say: the Tempe location in particular is so DARK. Seriously, it makes it hard to read the menu and to see the faces of the people you're with. It doesn't feel as warm as the ones in Ahwatukee (to me, anyway), but it's clean, which is always important to me. That said, you can't go wrong with the wings. I've had other items from the menu before (pizza, burgers, etc) and they're nothing exceptional. But if I'm in the mood for wings, Native is my go-to place. I just wish that they still provided moist towelettes for my saucy post-wing fingers... Technically, I would give this particular location a 3.5, but half stars aren't allowed so I rounded up. For the record, I'd give the Ahwatukee locations 4 for better atmosphere. read more

Wednesday a group of us attended lunch at this establishment. We arrived at 11am and there were only 2 occupied tables in the dinning area. Our server was attentive and prompt once we were seated. She took our beverage orders within minutes of seating. When we received our drinks she took our food orders, this was roughly 11:15. Once 11:40 rolled around we started to notice tables that came in after us were already eating, no big deal, plenty of TV's showing some old UFC fights. By 11:50 I was curious as to why our food was not out, or at minimal an explanation. We finally received some of our food orders at 12:00. I fully understand this is a sit-down establishment and not fast food, but 45 minutes for some salads and a couple wings? A few of us had to take the food in a to-go container as we had already spent our lunch hour waiting. On the bright side, there was plenty of parking, and we saw some guy get kicked in the apple sack during the UFC fight. Won't be coming back to this place. And to think, I thought Buffalo Wild Wings was bad. read more

We came in for some appetizers before the ASU game, and sat at the bar. Our bartender was a really cool guy named Obey. He took great care of us! He made sure that the tvs were on the games we wanted to watch. At one point the manager tried to change the channel from the game we were watching, and we were going to leave because of it. Obey saw that and apologized, and made sure that we got the game back on the tv we were watching. He was just great!! read more

If you're looking for beer and a burger, this is the sports bar for you. The hangover burger was perfectly cooked with the egg, and staff was super friendly. Great place to end up for a low key bite after a flight. read more

30 mins to get cold wings.wife had boneless wings not good. 1st time there. Very disappointing

It's a great place to go if you're more focused on the sports than the food. Always seems that it changes a little every time and staff there isn't as attentive as you'd like. read more

Ronnie was the best server my boyfriend and I have had in awhile. Normally, we get pretty average service when we got out, but Ronnie was so well-mannered and very respectful it made our experience that much better. The food was pretty decent but in all honestly, if anything's going to bring me back, it'll be Ronnie. Ask for him if you want efficient service and an attentive waiter. Hook him up fat and tell him Krissy and Wes sent ya! Thank you Ronnie! read more

Solid place to go for wings/ comfort food. We always get wings and loaded fries....never disappoints. My only hang up is the price. But hey, I'll pay it nevertheless. read more

What a terrible experience. When my friend and I first arrived, the hostess tried to seat us outside RIGHT between two large and very loud ten tops, when the entire other side of the patio was open tables... When we asked to sit to at the other table, I jokingly asked if our new server was terrible. Bad move on my part because then the hostess openly and unprofessionally shared all her negative opions about our new waitress jazlynn. Unfortunately she lived up to her reputation and was rude, inattentive, and seemed annoyed at simple requests like refills of empty glasses. Beer was warm. Food was slow. Service was terrible. Sure it was a Thursday night, and it was busy, but come on! really disappointing. read more

My daughter and I are here probably once a week we always order same thing service is always great and food is great. Today when we got there the place was pretty much empty our server came and when I tried to order her tone switched. I was trying to order chicken strippers and buffalo fries. She started asking what flavor and I said the same as the buffalo fries. Every time she cut me off and then pointed at the menu as if I couldn't hear her. My daughter had to jump in and say the same flavor as buffalo fries. She said ok and left. I have been a waitress for 17 years and never have I treated someone with such rudeness. Therefore I expect the same when I go spend my money. read more

Low volume of customers on what should've been a busy Friday night. Confused staff at the counter just to seat us. When we asked what kind of beer they had or martini specials or drink specials the response was I can check? Oh but we have Pepsi, tea and water..... we got up and left wont return... read more

Usually a solid choice but unfortunately encountered an unhappy sour bartender. I'll try again.

Form the moment we walk in to the moment we leave, we have a great time everytime. We have been coming for years beacuse of the staff. We have our favorites, Brittany, Autumn, Victoria. Each one of these girls are amazing and are always on point. They make you feel like a friend and always make you feel welcome. Their food is great, never disappoints. We have been ciming here for years like I said, and if they keep hiring and keeping good people like the three girls I mentioned, we will keep coming for years to come!!! read more

Service and food were well below average. Table was dirty when we got there and server never offered to clean it off and watched us clean it off with our hands. The sandwich I had ordered did not come as I had ordered it, which I know is not the servers fault, most likely the kitchens. Also, the server never really came by to check on us during our meal. Probably won't be going back. read more

Bar Food! Very loud, very crowded and very packed in to a space for seating. The wings were good enough and the pizza would have been fine except it was under cooked. The wait staff was really good! They were over booked but still hustling to the point of staying in front of the needs of the customers. Next time I am in the mood for bar food I will consider giving them a second shot. It might be a while though. read more

My family has been coming here since 1993. Okay, so the food isn't amazing, but they do what they do best...wings and beer and sports. The wings might be fantastic, since they offer many sauce flavors, but I don't know since I don't eat meat. My sister loves the honey BBQ while my dad loves the extreme spicy one. The staff is friendly and always fill up my cherry coke (coke with cherry syrup AND extra cherries.) As for the women's bathroom, yeah it's small but it's not the worst in the world. There is always toliet paper and soap and paper towels. I've been to some really bad bathrooms before and this was not one of them. We don't go there for sports, but it's a fun place for your family to sit down, eat food, and enjoy company. read more

Me and my boyfriend sat down and ordered 30 wings. Usually on a Tuesday we would have waited a while, but they came out really fast! Our waiter Steven was AWESOME! This was the second time he has been our waiter. And every time he has been not only very nice, but constantly checking up on us and making sure everything was okay. Native needs more waiters like him. Definitely will be back, thanks Steven!! read more
