We've been coming here for years but yesterday my husband and I both had the worst food poisoning of our lives. Native wings & buffalo chicken nachos were all we had to eat, and we were both violently ill for 24+ hours. We called to let the Manager know and to let them know if they need to check policies or for cross contamination, but they didn't even ask what we had to eat or take any information. They asked us for proof we were sick- excuse me? Should we bring in our trash can? This was a big let down as we were hoping they would take it seriously. read more

Kind of odd that this place is open until midnight on weekdays but the kitchen closes at 10 PM... Yelp gives you the option to order takeout at 10:35 PM on a weekday but they say the kitchen closes at 10 PM. Odd read more

Man I'm sorry to say this but I gotta keep it . this place has gone seriously downhill. I used to love it back in the day. But the food is just straight disgusting it tastes like old, expired, freezer burnt and stale. At least at this particular location. The service is terrible to. Your waiter doesn't matter which one will seat you then spend 30 minutes walking away or chatting with other people before they come back to check on you or your order same for the wait for the food. The ambiance is chill but the smell is atrocious. It smells like I stepped into a porter potty, I don't know if the pipes need to be revamped or what but it smells like a wet moldy towel that was just used to wash a dog dipped in doo doo and rinsed in pee. It's seriously off putting to eat and smell that at the same time it felt like I was biting into a hot fart when I ate here. And the drinking glasses look like they've never been washed ever with the all the soap scum on them it gets into the drinks and then they taste like it. And don't even get me started on the iced tea I can't imagine how dirty that machine is. Don't go to this location just don't it's clear they don't care anymore like at all. I wish Gordon Ramsey would visit this place and tear it apart because the standards have seriously dropped sticky table and Menus. Just don't. Again I'm sorry for reviewing this place like this but come on standards guys how bout you set some and actually try to attain them. Or just shut it down period full stop. Not poisoning myself at this location anymore. I've given it 3 tries and they've failed epically each time. read more

My wife and I hadn't been there in quite a while and decided to go for a quick bite. The service as usual was excellent and we were quickly led to our table. Our waitress was friendly and and very efficient. We ordered mozzarella sticks as an appetizer and both ordered their chicken strippers. The mozzarella sticks were very dry with way too much coating and not enough cheese. It was obvious they were very cheap in quality. The marinara sauce was tasteless. The strippers have always been good in the past but not this time. They were way overcooked. All I could taste was the outer crispy coating. Thank goodness I ordered extra hot sauce to help wash them down. Not sure if we got them on a bad night or they're cutting back on the quality of their food to save costs. Let's hope it's not the latter of the two. read more

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

We decided to try this place the other night and we were not disappointed.  We felt like bar food and decided to go here in absence of a Buffalo Wild Wings in the area.  We had a pound of the boneless Honey Hot and they were really good.  Our server was pleasant and they prices weren't ridiculously high.  They had a good variety of food and we ended up splitting a cobb salad so we didn't feel so guilty, it has veggies, right?  They also have a good selection of local brews as well. In summary, I would say this is an upgraded version of BW3's close to home.  There are also plenty of screens around in case you are looking to catch a game! read more

Native Grill & Wings - Cobb salad - Chicken Wings Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

All I can say is yuck. It's less than a mile from my house so I've been here a few times I specifically asked to have very little sauce on the buffalo wings, crazy request! low and behold it's like they poured a can of hot sauce soup over them both orders ! I asked the food runner to please return it to the kitchen and at least get rid of the additional sauce he obliged and was great, but they were basically just disgusting, we literally ate 4 out of 20, but that went unnoticed by our clueless sever! Oh my God ( that was a ballet girl reference) I realize it's Covid and staff and cooks are hard to come by but the service was on par with the wings. No Mas. Why do all of the restaurants in Ahwatukee Foothills absolutely suck? read more

On 6/22 at approximately 6:15 pm I was standing in line at the front door of the Native location located Chandler Blvd and Desert foothills pky in Phoenix. I was skipped over by the staff due to waiting outside the closed door because others had skipped the long line and went in ahead. Due to social distancing and trying to keep our spots in line I held the door open. One patron of the bar expressed his disgust with us but we were determined not to be skipped over by staff again. As I was next in line the hostess began taking us to our seat but Brian (manager) came up to me. Brian was extremely loud when he yelled at me to close the door even though I was no longer holding it open. Brian was in my personal space and advanced on me extremely aggressively and then made a snide remark of I'm just energetic as we walked away with the hostess. I did not appreciate the unprofessionalism displayed by the hostesses or Brian. Several other patrons that were left outside appeared to be upset with how we were treated by staff and made it clear as they walked away without being seated. My girlfriend (with me at the time of the incident) expressed that she felt uneasy and in fear for her safety due the aggression displayed by Brian and the unknown patron. I want it noted that I normally have a pleasant experience at this location and still plan to return in hopes this issue is fixed. Also I want to note my waitress appeared new but did a wonderful job! I missed her name due to me focusing on my dissatisfaction. Review of 1 star only because I can't give zero and because my waitress did a good job. read more

Have eaten at this location many times. Food is always good - service is the biggest variable. When service is mediocre, I would rate them a 3. When service is great, I would rate them a 5. Wanted to weigh in on their catering for this review. Ordered 50 wings for a party. Asked that they be packed, 25 wings per separate tray with sauces, seasonings and dips packed individually. Also asked that they be ready to be picked up at a certain time. What a pleasant surprise. I came in to pick up the order and I was greeted by the Manager. He knew my order and quickly went to retrieve it. Packed amazingly well in multiple bags and in a box for the car journey. Cannot saw how nice this experience was. Thanks Native. read more

Went there for a quick bite to eat. It was not the wait that bothered me it was when I asked for light on the sauce they came out dripping in sauce. I asked the waiter to get me new ones but to allow me to eat my fries while they are hot. He said yes and then within a couple minutes returned with the chicken strippers washed off and cold fries. Waiter never came back to ask if it was better. Just ignored our table. Then we asked for check he dropped it off and we waited for 10 minutes he never returned, left money on table and left. You guys should be ashamed of your customer service and your way of fixing a problem or lack of it. read more

Great place to hang out with friends and catch a game! The back has a lot of seating (tables and booths) and TVs at every angle so that they have multiple games playing at once! They have a pretty good happy hour from 3-7pm, with a variety of appetizers (every day) and assorted drinks (except Saturday). Came with a group of friends to watch a football game, and we ordered an assortment of appetizers, 2 pitchers of Blue Moon, and a couple entrees to share. I got the buffalo fish sliders, because they seemed pretty unique. The plate came with 3, and although they were a little heavy on the mayo they were really tasty! Unfortunately, the curly fries I got on the side could have been crispier/more flavorful. Their steak fries didn't look too great either though. I would say their food is good, but not amazing. Overall, we had a great experience! Our server was really friendly, and the environment was spacious and clean! Will definitely revisit when I'm back in town! read more

Pizza is pretty good, wings are great, service is exceptional for a sports bar type setting. Overall a good time.

It' s a five star when it comes to its sports bar definition (bar food, bright lights, TV screens)... but it's a three star when it comes to quality time and food options. I wished they had some kind of (appetizing vegetarian options)... it's also very loud, actually l think patrons are getting louder. Their customers are not really watching any sports on the many TV screens, it's a cacophony! I only got a potato soup, everything else has meat. My hubby had a club sandwich. Next time we will avoid their Saturday night crowd. read more

Since wings are in their name I figured I'd try them out being a wing lover. Unfortunately they were really bad. They were dry and hard to chew. On the other hand the place felt pretty close to how a restaurant felt before Covid so it was nice to be out again. read more

The employee polite and food was good but half of my order was missing. I am from out of town.

SLOW SLOW SLOW Service. I know they were busy, but it took forever to get water and an ice tea. There were out of our beer "We need to change the tap, do you mind waiting a bit?" Food was ordered and came, but no beer. 30 min later, "it's going be over an hour for someone to change the tap?" Seriously? Must be some complicated tap. Then we waited for refills on water and ice tea. We were all finished eating when the waitress brought us our refills....too late. Won't be going back! Ahwatukee location is so much better! read more

Mediocre food, lack luster service and generic ambiance. It's close to home, but we would rather drive farther to go other places for a evening out. read more

I came with my wife and a group of friends on a Saturday night for karaoke. Cool place. TV's all around so you will not miss any sports action whether you sit out in the patio or inside. The restaurant was clean and the service at first was very slow but it improved as the night went on. When I mean slow what I mean is I sat down, got my first drink right away and pretty much had to flag our waitress down after 20 minutes to order some food. You'd think a bar would want to upsell their food to make more money? From 10 p.m.-1 a.m they have happy hour on their food where select appetizers are $4 & $5 each. My wife and I ordered 2 Diet Cokes, an order of Buffalo Chips, Loaded fries and a 1/2 lb. of boneless wings. All for $20. Helluva deal. The food was very delicious. While I liked the Loaded Fries, I LOVED the Buffalo Chips! Homemade sliced potatoes cooked perfectly with blue cheese crumbles and dressing. On the boneless wings I ordered honey bbq sauce and they were a winner as well. I would love to come back and try their pizza or calzones. I know starting at 9 p.m. beers were $3 but I don't get into beer too much. Karaoke is fun on Saturday nights and there was a decent crowd but you can easily find a table to sit at. I will definitely come back. If you're looking for a fun place to grab some grub and watch a game or just chill, Native New Yorker is the place for you. read more

Another less than average experience. Wings were cold. The waitress failed to tell us about the Sunday special and wanted to get our order BEFORE we had menus. Oh well - luckily we have CK's, Loco Patron and Uncle Bears to go to. Can say we won't be back - we tried. read more

Native Grill & Wings - $2.50 domestic specials?? Not for $3.25. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I love native, but can't do 5 star. Got a Cobb salad today, while not one piece of chicken! Also, please stop the prepackaged salad dressing and give the restaurant quality, which is so much better. Service was excellent but I spent a lot to get a tossed Salad, which it was when you don't include the chicken. read more

Update: 1/24/12 - Are they trying to pay for their renovation with the smallest, driest wings ever? --- I frequently visit Native New Yorker because of convenience. Usually I am pretty underwhelmed. But now... I don't think I will be frequenting this spot. The last TWO visits to Native completely underwhelmed me. In particular, the size of their wings was comical. And I had to ask for additional wing sauce because the wings were almost exclusively over-fried, dry skin. I NEVER ask for more wing sauce. In fact, I prefer my wings to be less messy. But now, well... I just cannot go back. I can't justify going to Native when Loco Patron is just a few doors down. Sure, they are a little more expensive... but I have seen the light and I will not be going back to Native. Okay... maybe for a beer with other soccer parents... but other than that... read more

Native Grill & Wings - After I added extra sauce to the driest wings ever. Penny to help show size. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Went on a Saturday night and it was not a good experience. The house salad was disappointing, the sliders were not flavorful and their textures were bad. To top it off, our pizza took a full hour to come out - at least they have about a dozen tvs to watch while you wait. I will definitely not be returning. read more

Came here after our friends asked us out to dinner with the kids. When we heard there were TV's to watch the World Series, we were in. We like to support our local area food establishments. We ordered a mix of bugers, pizza, sliders. Service was very friendly but really slooooooow. Pizza oven was "backed up" whatever that means and came out about ten minutes after the other food. Kind of expected to get something comped. The food was typical bar food, nothing I crave but good for watching sports. read more

Native Grill & Wings - So many tvs!!! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Extremely pleasant service... We live a few blocks away --definitely a go to. Beers are cold and food is consistent.

We enjoy this location although we live on the other side of Sount Mountain. We don't make it here that often but the new South Mountain Freeway helps. We're fortunate to usually score bar seats and have nothing but excellent service from the staff. We're craft beer drinkers, and the selection meets our needs. Came to watch the Bills beat the Broncos today. Got loaded tots to eat with our beer and took a family size pepperoni pizza home. Had a good crowd which is good to see that folks are supporting area businesses. read more

This place is my favorite place to relax, hang out, and watch sports. The Buffalo Nachos are really good here. My husband usually gets the Hangover Burger. The staff is great as well. We always bring our friends/family that are visiting. read more

The past 3 visits I've had here at Native have all been absolutely terrible. The food is actually good but the service here is just absolutely unacceptable. The last time I was in here I was confronted and asked by my waiter if I was a "serious" customer and if I was "gonna actually buy something because if not I have to leave" after already having order some drinks. I let that slide as I of course returned to the restaurant but this most recent time I was confronted at the end of my meal right as I was exiting the restaurant by the host who told me they had to check my money that I had left as they believed I shorted them for some odd reason before even counting. Idk if this was based off my looks or what but I was getting weird vibes by the entire staff team here as they kept giving me dirty looks as if I was unequal with the rest of the people dining in. Not to mention they don't check anyone else's payment before exiting the restaurant only ours. I would give a 0 star if that was an actual option. This was just overall horrible and I do not recommend any establishment that mistreats their valued customers. read more

As to be expected... Not awesome, but not the worst. Service is often slow and by some less than savory characters. Probably our only occasionally fun spot to hang out back in the Foothills of Ahwatukee. Watching the rich people sing karaoke is a kick and trivia night is also a fun one. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are all good for wings, chicken strips, and boneless wings...respectively. I go because it's close enough to walk to and stumble back. I will continue to go though. read more

They have a salt and vinegar dry rub chicken wings......yes that's what I said. I know right?!!!! Yeah they are delicious and I love the Sangria. Need I say more? I think not. read more

We LOVE this place , it's become one of our local hangouts , they have a great Happy Hour, and We love the food . Comfortable atmosphere with friendly staff and faces all around ! Great place to watch football ! read more

Great ambiance nice place to hang out and unwind from a long week or rough day. The staff is excellent very nice and they check on the table just enough!!!! And always make sure your water is full. They are very accommodating even if your the one who made a mistake ;-) read more

This place doesn't care if they lose business!! Do not waste your time or money!! Just left after waiting 15 minutes on the patio, walked inside once, to let them know we were there. No one even looked our way. We will have much better service and food at Wicked Brew on Ray Rd! I would leave 1/2 Star if I could read more

I stopped in here the other day because I was starving and my cousin said he wanted to try this place. Sorry to say, but it was not a good choice. The restaurant was busy and decent-sized so I figured it would be okay. Normally I don't like going to restaurants like this as they remind me of Applebee's or Chili's but I decided to try it anyway. I ordered the caesar salad with fries while my cousin ordered the mozzarella sticks, wings, and mac and cheese for his daughter. When our food came out, my fries were cold as was the mac and cheese. The mac and cheese on the menu looked like large elbow noodles with delicious gooey cheese. What came out, was Kraft-style cold gloop. My salad was fine but nothing to return for. My cousin enjoyed his wings and said he would go back for those but that's about it. The food was averagely priced but definitely below average when it comes to quality. That being said, the service was excellent! We had more than one person stop by and check on us and they were very attentive. Although I would not eat here again, I might stop by for a beer (can't mess that up) just because the service was that good! read more

Ordered native strippers. And when I got there they told me they only had nuggets. So I say ok. Get them and they're Not coated. Dry as dry can be. With side buffalo sauce. Ordered on xmas eve and the chicken was dry af as well. Last time they get my family's business. 18$ for shitty food. To say I'm irritated would be an understatement. read more

Went for dine in Oct 2019. The service was slow. The pizza came out burnt. Yes, we did tell the person who brought the pizza and they did make another one. Just over all disappointed. Seems every time we go, the pizza menu changes. The place seems to be doing worse as time goes on, not better. read more

I never have very high expectations of Native New Yorker. I came to this place because it's close to home and they have karaoke that starts at 9 PM on Saturdays. My husband and I dropped in at around 10 PM and ordered some drinks and appetizers off the happy hour they had on the bar counters, and when our bill came the kind waitress decides to charge us full price for everything because she entered our orders in at 9:58 PM. It's probably my fault for not checking the exact time before I ordered, I know. But still, it'd be awesome if she could've said that we'd save $15 if we just waited a couple more minutes to order. I guess that'd be too obvious, though, right? :) Either way, this place is really fun for karaoke and there's usually always a great crowd that makes it exciting. read more

I'M SO HAPPY FOOTBALL SEASON IS HERE! and i practically live here... at native ny'er. no, i'm not a regular here because this is the best sports bar in town... and no, it's not because they have amazing food or anything. it just happens to be located across the street from where i live, and tragically (yes, tragically) arizona NEVER televises my NINERS or GIANTS games, so i'm forced to set up camp here like some deranged sports lunatic. i can only imagine what the staff thinks of me. i've shown up with my 2 yr old nephew in tow, with out of town friends, my brother, a gaggle of girlfriends, a rowdy group of guy friends, even a date or two. i even stopped in once by myself because i HAD to see the NY jets/eagles preseason game on my lap top. (yes, i bought the Preseason Pass on NFL.com, soooo worth it) i probably could have watched the game on my lap top at home, but didn't want to. so here's my take on their food. it's bar food. it does the job. the wings are too bready, but the beer is always cold. the bartenders are the best of the best. i forget his name, but one of the bartenders is really hilarious. he tells the funniest stories and always remembers exactly what i drink. bonus points for a heavy pour. and the best part... besides that it's cave-like dark and has about a million massive TV's? the arctic-blasting air conditioning! is always turned WAY UP. seriously, on a 112 degree day, it feels like heaven. they do have a nice patio area with misters, but it's still been way too hot to sit out there. perhaps now with the temps dropping and fall approaching, the patio will be a great place to watch games. we'll see. yeah so, if you're ever looking for me and can't seem to find me, odds are i'll be here. at the bar. like some crazed sports chick, clutching my beer and yelling at the TV. ok this review must come to an abrupt end. the patriots/bengals game is starting, i gotta go. GO PATS! read more

$.49 cent per wing on Tuesdays and Thursdays - that's what brought me here when I had a HUGE craving for wings. Well, the place didn't do anything for me. The service was very mediocre. I even made a comment to my girlfriend about how lousy the waitress was. The loaded potato skins were delicious, though. They only brought out one tinyyyyy thing of sour cream, which irritated me. How do you only use one spoon of sour cream for SIX half potatoes? Fat girl annoyances! I guess that's what you get when your bill only comes out to $8.00. I wouldn't recommend this place at all. read more

Native Grill & Wings is genuinely not the place of my style, and I don't usually go here often, but for multiple times, the location here has impressed me quite a bit. Unfortunately, not the point in which I was completely astonished. Without further ado, here are the simple reasons why I am only satisfactory with what I ate. Pros: All of the food that each of us ate was delicious. I ordered the Friday Fish Fry, my sister ordered the Strawberry Walnut Salad, and my father ordered the California Burger. The Friday Fish Fry was decently large. It included a fried fish with tartar sauce, a mini salad with mayonnaise, lots of French fries with ketchup, and two pieces of flatbread. The fish was extraordinarily crunchy and fresh. When I look to the other dishes, I saw that they are enjoying them as well. The Strawberry Walnut Salad is full of fresh greens, but not many strawberries. The service was extraordinary. They always seem to check on you every five to ten minutes, and if you happen to dislike a specific channel on TV, you can tell them and they will immediately change the channel. Cons: The location is tiny. During a football, basketball, soccer, etc. game, the place is CROWDED, and you may have to wait about 10-30 minutes until you get seated. (Wait until the Super Bowl XLIX starts. It will be absolutely miserable waiting for a SINGLE seat.) The food takes pretty long to prepare on these crowded days(then again, the forty-ninth Super Bowl) so you will have to be patient. One thing is for sure, I'm coming back (early) for the Super Bowl. Definitely go to this location. read more

There aren't that many places in the area for takeout that's American food. Native New Yorker is usually my default take out for wings when I don't feel like cooking because of its location. I have to say I'm a bigger fan of Wing Stop. Cons: -The wings are hit or miss. Sometimes they can be soggy with no crunch and depending on the cook the sauces can be thin or too saucy. -The price is a tad too high. There are wing specials but during times that are odd. Pros: - Takeout is quick - The staff is always super nice - The salads are getting better and taste great. - There is outdoor seating. read more

Overall This place is pretty good What I like: -Tuesday and Thursday: $0.49 wing days -Great happy hour everyday -Good bar area What I don't like: -waiter/waitress service: just slow service even when its dead in there. -boneless wings: normall I get these else where but here they cook them too dry Since there isn't much else out in the Ahwatukee Foothills this is probably my favorite place to grab something quick to eat especially if I am in the mood for wings. However I wish they would hire some better servers. I've had to go up to the bar on multiple visits to order another drink or place a drink order because the waitress is no where to be found. read more
