The lunch, a house salad, chicken strippers (lemon pepper dry rub), and an Angry Orchard cider was just what I needed after a round of golf. The strippers were served hot and had excellent flavor. The service and ambiance (World Cup game being televised) was great. read more

Native Grill & Wings - Angry Orchard Hard Cider - Chicken Wings Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

We ate lunch here a few weeks ago. I like to have wings a few times a year and wanted to give them a try. I think this is the best sports bar by Sahuarita. Our waitress was very friendly and the establishment was clean. I had the chicken and waffles dry rub and a raspberry flavored sauce for the wings. I enjoyed both flavors. I also enjoyed the zucchini sticks for the appetizer. My son enjoyed his flatbread and my wife enjoyed her salad. Nothing fancy or pretentious here folks, just some good comfort food you may enjoy while watching sports or spending some time with friends. I will be back. read more

Our service was fine! My gosh it was so damn hot! Give me a break! It's only going to get hotter here in Tucson! DBoyle The air was out! read more

Very disappointed. The food looked nothing like the menu photo. The picture shows large pieces of chicken and generous toppings, but what arrived was mostly shredded chicken with a small portion of toppings. For the price, the portion size and presentation were not worth it. The value and accuracy of the menu photo were disappointing. read more

Jennifer was amazing like a top tier person to interact with and a bar tender she was so nice and even helped me with my hiccups, she was timely and attentive 10/10 also the gummy bear shot???? ABSOLUTELY PERFECT read more

It was just ok all around. We visited last night as a group of five after catching a movie nearby, and were seated right away. Service was slow and had a couple of issues with our orders being incorrect, which were ultimately fixed but without offering anything for the inconvenience. The food is very much average- wings received good reviews but the chicken wrap, sliders, and pizza fell flat. As a vegetarian my options were pizza or a dinner salad, I'm not likely to return. read more

Horrible waiters and staff. I was in line waiting to be seated and a waiter came and he took the people behind me and sat them (they walked in after me were not previously waiting) when I told him I was here first he said ok and walked away then kept me waiting for another 10 minutes before someone else came and asked if I have been help. Never coming back my food also took more than an hour to come out. read more

This restaurant has the most incompetent workers? we weren't during lunchtime. It wasn't even busy place. That order waited for about 45 minutes. They had no status update stay away from this place. read more

Food: was ok lacked a little bit of flavor Service: was good from everyone but our server he took our order brought the food and never came back, so we had someone else help us Ambiance: good setting nice and chilled back read more

We waited 10-15 minutes for a table. Once we were seated we waited another 15 minutes. No one acknowledged us. We just sat there. Watched other customers come in and get seated and waited on right away. We ended up just getting up and walking out. read more

The native at Rita Ranch in Tucson is terrible! The slowest, to no service at all. If you sit in the bar area you aren't even waited on. You have to interject to get service. 10 minute wait to get a menu, 15 minute wait to order, food is average, ask for check, 15 minute wait, give card to pay, 15 minute wait to get it back. I went last night, and walked out after 15 minutes sitting at the bar with NO service. I will NEVER go back! Find somewhere else to spend your money, this place SUCKS! read more

The service was awful the moment we walked in. We ask the hostess if we could get a table and she said "yes one second" and proceeds to do nothing. We approach her and she looks at us like we're stupid. She said "actually this entire section is closed" ... in my mind I'm like aren't you supposed to seat us???? Then sit at the bar- we order our food and I wish I was lying when I say AN HOUR AND A HALF TO GET OUR FOOD. they bring out our pizza 30 minutes later after we ordered but took about an hour to get our wings. As the server is walking with our food she is completely confused where she's going and we had to stop her. It's like the staff was in their own world and couldn't care less about the customers. Everyone having their own conversations, unprofessional, and took forever. We are very patient people but Jesus Christ. After a long day we just wanted to eat. My boyfriend asked them for a discount and we got one rightfully so. I hope they improve their service if they want to keep any customers. read more

Really good food and service! I have been coming here for over 3 years and have left happy everytime

THe bar tender Jenna is always on top of my drink order and is always making us laugh. Need more people like her.

Jenna from Native is amazing. Always welcoming me and my friends with joy. It's always so hard to say goodbye...

Short redheaded bartender was both slow and lazy. I asked her to change the channel and she indicated that that was just too much effort for her when I return if she's the bartender I will leave. read more

Ordered curbside and was super disappointed that I paid 3.99 to add a side to my 10 piece wings and this is what I got. read more

Gotta love a 69 cent wing special. Ordered the chicken lettuce wraps and ten wings; buddy got the cheese curds and the boneless wing combo. Really enjoyed the Buffalo ranch dry rub wings but didn't really care for the sweet red chile wings which were overly sauced. The lettuce wraps were okay but not remarkable. The boneless wings were quite dry. Service was pretty good; they were busy but they were prompt. read more

I only go here for a couple of friends that I know who are still working there. A couple years ago this was a good spot to be for any time of the day for drinks/food with family or friends. Unfortunately the service & food quality has just changed so drastically since then. Thank you read more

I'm surprised this place is still open! Service sux EVERYTIME we go! It was dead and the only two servers looked tired and bothered! The one bartender that's been there for years was serving the main dining room and had no smile. They never right down orders and ALWAYS forget our preferences!!! They need to close and put an ATL Wings there instead!! read more

Off to a bad start. The service is really bad I had to stand and wait for a host to seat me and it took forever. There was no one in line and everything moved slow. There was no one really here so there was no wait. There was no staff and no one even tried to help. Let's hope the food is good and doesn't take long..... read more

It's an OK sports bar. I've been here a few times and the service most of the time is pretty good. This is a small chain and the food is pretty good and price OK. There's better wing options available in town, but not bad if you're in the area and looking to watch some sports. read more

Native Grill & Wings - 20 wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I know that most of my reviews on Yelp are negative, and this one will be no different. I AM HERE TO WARN YOU!!! This location blows ass. The food was terrible, the service was god awful, and the manager no help. Second game of the World Series was in the 3rd inning when we arrived, not super busy (we were seated immediately) but they tried to shove 5 of us into a booth made for 4. STRIKE 1! ( I suggested that we push two four tops together and they agreed, so off we went to the bottom of the third inning. Our waiter wearing a Dodgers jersey was a bit of a smart when we pointed out that we were fans of neither team, but we were joking with him at that point so it was OK. He takes our drink order and disappears. Dodgers homer to Right field and now they are up 4-1 and we are still thirsty. STRIKE 2! Fourth inning rolls around and by the time the Dodgers are at bat, we finally have our drinks, but one of them is clearly wrong. FOUL BALL?!? Maybe. The waiter reluctantly gets a new drink and takes our order. Wings, boneless wings, a burger, a chicken sandwich, and a meatball sub. 5 people, 5 items ordered, BTW there are now two outs in the bottom of the 4th inning. (We have been here a while at this point!) 5th inning, no change in score, also no appearance by our waiter to refill drinks and no food. 6th inning rolls around and we still haven't seen the Dodger jersey wearing waiter until the Aaron Judge strikes out to end the top half of the inning. He comes to the table to tell us there is ZERO ground beef in the building and the two people who have ordered ground beef items are shit out of luck, and need to pick put something else to eat. (Does he bring menus? He does not!). 30 minutes have passed since we ordered and JUST NOW THEY COME TELL US THIS? Are you shittin' me? If Jomboy media could do a lip reading session of our table, he would see that the F-bomb is freely flowing now. We should have called the game right there and left, but one persons food showed up right as the waiter came back to retake the orders of the two people that were screwed by the Native Ground Beef Shortage of October 2024. So one person has hot food, two people are still waiting, one person decides on pulled pork sliders and the meatball guy decides to sit this one out. Native Grill has officially lost a customer. STRIKE THREE! YOU'RE OUT. (We should have left right then.) 7th inning no food, nothing happens in the game either. 8th inning, no food, no drink refills and nothing happens in the game either. 9th inning and our food shows up, and here is were the whole thing goes from bad to worse! The Yankees load the bases with runners and the Dodgers look angry, just like whoever prepared our meal. My wings were so greasy that caused the dry rub to be so heavily caked on, that they were inedible. The pulled pork was crispy and hard like it also had been in a deep fryer. Everyone who ordered tatter tots might as well have ordered hash browns at Waffle House because they were just a lump of slightly warm potato shavings, none of which were in tot form. Yankees are threatening just as the manager comes over to ask "How is your experience?" I explained to him that when I am in town, I like to visit my parents and have Native out of nostalgia, but that this visit in particular was the worst visit I have ever had to ANY Native location. He assures me that he will make it right on the bill and he hopes that I will give them another chance in the future. The Yankees end up sucking it up (not surprising) and the baseball game is finally over, when I am actively looking to get the bill and leave. Our waiter has now decided that we are more unimportant than having ground beef so he ignores us completely. I finally get the managers attention and he says he will get the bill. 20 minutes later he comes to the table and hands me a check and states "I took 20% off". 20% off? Two of the four meals were totally inedible, the service was nonexistent, and you think 20% off is going to get me to give you another chance? FUCK NO!!! I paid the check and went to Texas Roadhouse, so the three people who were unable to eat at Native Grill, could get actual food. We will never be back. NEVER. Screw this location, screw the waiter, screw the manager, screw the prep cook for not thawing ground beef, and screw the owners for allowing this location to fall apart. Close the doors so that another restaurant can take over the space, perhaps one that cares about their customer. read more

it was amazing the hosts and service not to mention my food was amazing! i recommend going if your looking for somewhere good to eat

Okay, I went back. I had decided I would start my lunch by giving Native 5 stars and see how it went from there. Friend and I walked in. We waited 10 minutes for someone to greet us as the sign said to wait to be seated. One server walked by us twice and didn't look at us. Finally a server said that she would be with us shortly. Another 5 minutes - so they're down to 4 stars. We were finally seated. It appeared that perhaps they were short on help so I thought I'd ease up on them a bit. After another 10 minutes our orders were taken. After 40 minutes our food arrived - so they're down to 3 stars. Both friend and I ordered salads. Both salads appeared to have little to no dressing. We couldn't ask for more dressing because no one checked on us to see if our food was acceptable. I had to snag someone walking by to get more drinks - so down to 2 stars. We found our dressing - it was pooled in the bottom of the bowl. My salmon was almost not there - 4 little pieces on top. At no time did a server stop by until I saw our server and motioned her over for a to-go box and our bill. Then the server didn't come back to collect my credit card so after 15 minutes we went to the register and then the server showed up there and we paid our bill - down to 1 star. The tables that were dirty/filled with used dishes when we arrived were still that way when we left. I've worked in restaurants before. I know it's tough when there isn't enough help but come on, this was ridiculous. Shut off a section of the restaurant; let people waiting know that you'll get to them; stop by and say the kitchen is behind/food will be out shortly; stop for a second as you walk by a table and look to see if drinks need refilling. It's not hard. I won't be back, nor will friend. read more

white/grey hairs on my wings! i love their wings so much its the best i've had to be honest but this time was different.. more than one wing had white/grey hair on my food.. maybe facial hair? i don't know but i'm sick to my stomach now. read more

food was over cooked, waited 17 mins for our server to check us out so we can leave after two other servers went looking for her 3 times, was there in the beginning then towards the end nothing other servers had to ask us if we needed anything. read more

Tucson, Arizona Eatery Type: Dine-In. Waiter Service. Service: Staff is pleasant. Wished they were more attentive to us who ate spicy since we tend to be more needy when the wings heat up. Estimate Cost: $15 no alchohol. Hours: S-Th 11-11. F/S 11-midnight. Décor: Modern for sporting flare. Dining Comfort: Spacious dining. Booths and tables available. Seating is a bit different during covid era. Location: Inside the Western section of the Tucson Spectrum off of South Santa Cruz parallel to HWY 19. Parking: Big lot in the strip mall. Food: Chicken Wings & Generic Bar Food. Chicken Wings not chicken nuggets or strips carry a good size and heft. These succulent finger foods are bigger than some corporate drumsticks. The three flavors I tried the last run was honey bbq, lemon pepper & mango habanero. Mango Haba. The wings start off wonderfully w/ the brevity of sweet mango undertones then as you start to lick the sauce off your fingers, the habanero comes fast... Real Fast~! The mango haba has an exquisite combo of sweet and spicy. If you like spicy wings to compliment the other flavors then I would recommend eating this last & definitely not with lemon pepper. Lemon Pepper. Heavy seasoning which is rare. The leftover lemon juice worked nice with the fries to clean up. I ate lemon pepper on my left hand and the mango haba on my right hand & do not recommend this as the lemon amplifies the habaneros. If you have chapped lips which are common w/ long distance traveling/driving then your lips will burn lol. Honey BBQ. Standard super sweet bbq sauce. Heavy on the ketchup in the bbq mix nonetheless a good compliment to the mango. Burger Slider. Puny, bite sized yummyness w/ a couple pickles in them. The slider is simple w/ patty & cheese & pickles. The bread was terrible but overall the slider was above average. Chicken strip slider. Absolutely gross. This has to do w/ the nasty, stale bread & pound of mayo all over. I just took the chicken out, wiped off the mayo w/ a napkin and dipped it in the mango haba sauce. Overall, this small chain in the Southwest from Arizona to Texas is a great gem & I can't wait to return when traveling through. Travel safely & eat responsibly (^^) @cigarcpa read more

This place is ridiculous! Stood at front door no hostess or anyone caring that there were 5 people standing waiting When hostess finally seated us NO one made eye contact or spoke to us we waited 10 plus minutes Lots of staff but mgr/ possibly mgrs just wandered around tossing roll of paper in the air ( the staff is learning from the mgr) If I could've given this place a Zero I would have Can't review food / bev cause no one came to our table read more

I usually love Native but NOT this location. Didn't give me all the food I ordered and when I tried calling they don't answer. WTF I want my money back!!! read more

excellent customer service!! Thanks Steven and Jen , keep up the great work. wings are excellent!

I'm extremely disappointed after have given 5 stars on my last visit. Not sure if there was no manager on hand but everyone seemed as if they were doing double duty and made it seem like they were scrambling. Hostesses were serving, my server was yawning as she was taking our order ( then was incorrect when food came out) I hope someone would contact me since there was more I'd like to say. It was pretty sad to see the madness we experienced tonight. Before I forget, the yelling inside the kitchen was also extremely annoying A female kept yelling out "Robert" every 5 minutes!!! read more

Ate at Native at Spectrum two days ago. Prices were good due to specials menu. Service was good. The burger and fries were good up until I pulled a long hair out of my mouth while chewing on the burger. I could have flossed with it! I didn't tell my colleagues or the server so as to not create more drama and all of us were on a time crunch for an event elsewhere at 6 p.m. Restaurants, you have to enforce hats and/or hairnets in your kitchens from your cooks and prep staff; anyone in the kitchen actually. Many places don't use them anymore. God knows what we eat sometimes but it's pretty traumatic to be chomping on someone else's hair. I had to pull it out with both hands. It looked like a magician's trick. The Pima County Health Department needs to make more unannounced visits in all kinds of establishments just to keep people on their toes and our community healthy. read more

Ignore the silly reviews!!! We come for the food, sports and the staff. Awesome neighborhood bar n grill. Do they make mistakes?..absolutely but you try to serve during a million cowboys fans who are losing...their minds and the game! It is not so loud you can still talk to friends and family. Come hang out and cheer on my Saints...and even the Cowboys lol...shout out to Tyne and all the staff. They will do everything they can to make your game a great experience. Final thought...it is the ONLY sports bar in Tucson we go to out of season. WHO DAT.... Falcons and Tampa Bay fans...y'all can stay home please. read more

Native Grill & Wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I wouldn't say this place sucks, but I will say the staff does. Food was good. My first time there today and I asked the waitress if the personal pizza was standard 4 and she told me no, 6 slices. So I figured I'd split with my husband who got wings and I wouldn't order a sandwich. Pizza comes out... 4 small slices. I was pissed. Like you don't know your own menu? My sister ordered a personal was suppose to be cheese and mushroom and came out as just cheese. She wouldn't come back to table, so I basically had to talk across room to her. The dude bringing the food out basically threw the shit on the table. (Teen to cool to properly hand people their items) Waitress didn't ask if we needed anything. I had to ask for Parmesan, cuz she was too busy flirting with the guy she was working with. Brianna was her name. Just young ass kids making money to just hang out with each other and not taking customer service seriously. Food isn't cheap these days. It's time these businesses get back to the basics and hold their employees at a higher standard and make them accountable for shitty service. It's getting ridiculous. I do not recommend this place to anyone. Go to bdubs... or better yet go to any other restaurant. read more

This is where you go when you have time to kill. The service has become slow since Covid. A long wait to be greeted, seated, and long wait for your food. The food is good, the waiting time is what gets you. read more

Mya was amazing! I felt so comfortable and the service was above and beyond our expectations. Thank you Mya (Mia?) we will be back!

Wanted to give this place a 3 1/2 stars! I wasn't impressed, the service from the waiter was excellent, but it was taking forever to get food, and I get it since it was special. The wings were mediocre, flavoring was bland, or there wasn't enough on my wings. What worry's me the most is the customer service, I sat next to a table where a man was sitting, and it seemed like he was fuming. They kept coming back to him multiple times saying his food was next, but he got his food no more than 10 mins before we did and we took 30 mins. So I can imagine how long his took! If you looked around, you could see people upset bills are taken too long and food taking too long. People got up and left after not being serviced after being sat down. read more

I was trying to celebrate my brother-in-law's birthday. Everything was fine. The issues didn't arise until we got food. There were two waitresses assigned to our section I guess. So somewhere there was an error. Another waitress brought us food and we assumed maybe our waitress was taking a break. So we consumed the food that was delivered to us. Then our waitress came back and gave us more food. The food we originally ordered. It wasn't until we got the bill and we noticed we were charged for food we didn't even order. We tell the waitress and she's agreed to take the extra food off of our bill. We then heard an argument like the manager was passing blame to the waitress. The manager then proceeds to come out and yell at us. Not calmly explain anything. Just put the blame on the customer. She said it was common sense to pay for food we didn't even order. She also kept stating we lack common sense and used "Jesus Christ". Asked her politely to not say that (against my religion and offended me) she kept using profanities and wouldn't remove the extra food. We were forced to pay for the food we didn't order and told to leave. As we were leaving the manager began to yell at the waitress to paint she was crying. I don't expect anyone to lose their jobs but there needs to be a change in management style. My family will never recommend this place nor will we ever dine here again. read more

We loved Native and are disappointed to say we will never be returning. We went in for a quick dinner on Monday 08/14/23 and were disturbed when all we could hear over even the loud music were profanities being exchanged by staff members yelling at the top of their lungs, with one even proceeding to scream "fuck you, I quit" and walking out shamelessly while us and several other customers waited to be served. It was so outlandish, uncomfortable, and unprofessional to the point where we and several other patrons decided to leave. We thought this was a family restaurant and have enjoyed it for years, but as I said before, we will not be returning. Typical south side behavior. If whoever that girl was is still working there, I'll be surprised. Anywhere else but this place. The food is nowhere near good enough to tolerate that read more
