Honestly, My expectations for Native were quite low as the location id quite rough. However this Thursday, i had made a to go order with a young lady with red hair, and, she had been so patient with me. Now i am about 62 years of age, and struggle with hearing often, however she had made me feel so accepted and really took her time with me when i ordered my chicken and waffle wings. (They're really good!) Her tone, and approach was comforting, and unlike other laveen cuisine. Native, you did good with this one. read more

Update: still trash. After not eating here for about a year, for some stupid reason we decided to come back. We didn't order appetizers so we thought we were in the clear. Apparently not. We asked for no mushrooms on a sandwich and after waiting 20 min for food (yes I timed it) surprise! The sandwich has mushrooms. So now, I'm eating by myself so my food doesn't get cold while my fiancé sits there watching me eat. If this sounds like your idea of a good time, this is the place for you I guess. And now we're sitting here waiting to get the check, credit card in hand, so we can get him something to eat somewhere else and effectively being held hostage as we wait. Never. Ever. EVER eating here again. Old review: Oh Native. I want this restaurant to be good but we have had countless bad experiences here so we just can't waste our time or money anymore. It's so close to my house and the atmosphere is good for dinner but that's about it. I like to get appetizers before the meal. Every time without fail, it takes 20 minutes to get the appetizers and then the food comes out two minutes later. So, do I want to eat my dinner hot or the appetizers? What do I let get cold? We've brought this to the attention of the managers every time and they usually take the apps off the check. Great for some people but I'd rather just have a normal dining experience. The service really isn't great either. The people Working there are nice but I'm not there to make friends. Regardless of everything we have given this place so many chances since I moved to Laveen in August, we won't be eating here again. It makes me sad but it really ain't worth it. read more

Wow! The reviews on this place are bad and I have to add mine to the list. This place is so pathetic the management has given up responding to the bad reviews back in June! Arrived at lunch on Saturday and the place was pretty dead. As another pointed out, no one at the hostess stand. Stood there with our party of 6 for 5 minutes and then decided to seat ourselves. 'Lady D' was our waitress. Nice enough person but being a server/waitress is NOT in her calling...she needs to find something else to do. Lady D was not busy but she would disappear for periods of 10-20 minutes continuously. Not just for helping us, I mean DISAPPEAR. Here's the best though: I ordered a 'California Cluck' which is a grilled chicken sandwich but I did not want the Avacado and the tomato so I said "just lettuce, bacon, and mayo on the sandwich". Lady D came out about 20 minutes later to confirm that I wanted lettuce, bacon, and mayo only and I said "yes, that's correct". My sandwich came out and guess what? Between the two stale and hard ciabatta bread halves were lettuce, bacon, and mayo...that's it. NO CHICKEN. I pointed out to Lady D that we seemed to be missing a key component of a grilled chicken sandwich...the chicken. She said, "I thought that was all you wanted." Why in God's name would I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich with no chicken? It only got worse from that point forward. Do NOT go to this place. read more

I was surprised to see this place only had three Let me start by saying the customer service was exceptional!!! Our waitress Felicia was very professional sweet and over all an amazing individual. We sent our pizza back to get cooked a lil more as we like it "crispy" and the manager John was so sweet immediately took it back and made us feel so comfortable .. I say that because some places make you feel bad for wanting your food cooked differently !! I was absolutely amazed at the service !! The food was excellent tasting as well ! Big thanks to John and Felicia read more

Food showed up 30 minutes late, totally over cooked boneless chicken wings, 4 onion rings (seriously?) 2 pieces of celery (seriously) the only thing that wasn't over cooked was the curly fries. Really disappointed read more

Didn't eat here because I didn't get service. I walked out after about five minutes of not being acknowledged. Other customers appeared to be looking around for service. The waitress was too busy gossiping at another table. Didn't see anyone else working the floor. read more

Not good...we waited to be seated close to 10 minutes with no one in sight and then after being seated it was another long wait for anyone to come to our table. It seems that they only have one server on the restaurant side but there sure is a huge crowd over on the bar side...makes me ask...why have the restaurant side open if you have no employees there to serve your guests? I continue writing and yes, continue waiting. Finally a server came out and he was super polite, apologetic and attentive. He took our order and brought our beverages super fast...yes, super fast. Let's see how the food comes out, let's hope it's not another long wait and let's hope it all was just a bad time to arrive... read more

Moved to this area a few days ago and decided to have dinner since we are not officially settled in... Walked in and it was beyond packed but the nba finals are on so it's expected. The hostess tells us if there was available seating at the bar, we could sit down so we go to the bar side and there is one table available but we see a gentlemen that looks like he is waiting, so my son and I stand by the table as my husband walks over to ask him if he was waiting for it. While that is happening the waitress is walking over to wipe the table off, she wipes off one chair and then proceeds to the gentlemen that my husband is talking to saying the table is ready... The gentlemen then tells her that he told my husband that we could have the table because there are 4 chairs at that table and they needed 6. The waitress then walks back to the table throws the menu down and walks away. About 10 mins go by and she return saying, "what do you guys want" I then asked her if she can wipe the table off and she literally yells "I just did!" I informed her that I watched her just wipe off one chair trying to get the table to the gentlemen before we could sit down. She smacks her lips then says "OMG" as she storms off to go grab the towel. She purposely goes over and over the table making it super wet just because I asked her to wipe it off. There was soda marks on it for crying out loud. During this covid time, I don't think it's a crime to ask for the table to be wiped down. Now, I thought maybe she's really overwhelmed because this location seems really fast paced and this woman has the be in her 60's and I'm not that type of person to assume given a judgement but I watched her as she walked to all of her tables seemingly happy as she "raises the roof" dancing and exchanging laughs and jokes. I was so confused as to what the issue was. I asked another waiter who was so nice and courteous what her name was and he said "Miss Beth"... well "Miss Beth" ruined this entire experience for my family and I as we just could seem to snap out of the bad energy she dealt. Food was decent but I don't think we will be returning nor would we recommend. read more

I walked in to pick up a Togo ordered. Waited 20 mins for someone to show up to the register....I understand, it's not the greatest paying job...it's still a business and there should be employees to assist PAYING CUSTOMERS. Because that's what allows you to have a job...just my two cents. read more

Food has always been great, so tonight we decided to eat in rather than deliver or pick up as we had always done. Bad decision...got seated quickly, but waited at least 10 minutes for a server to come. Ordered everything once she did, seeing as we had plenty of time to review the menu. It's now been an hour and we're still waiting on our wings. Tots and personal pizza were delivered first, though the tots came out luke warm like they'd been sitting for a while. We have our 18 month old with us, so time is of the essence, and seeing as there are 4 other tables in the dining area, I'd like to think we'd get quicker service. The bar is full, so I'm not sure if our server has to watch them too? Won't be back, but will probably continue to order for delivery/pickup. Also, women's bathroom was in total disarray. Paper towels overflowing, first two stalls had toilet paper everywhere. Handicap stall was fine, but of course was out of toilet paper. Super disappointing. read more

We had the worst experience last night. After waiting 30 minutes just to be seated (the restaurant was not full and there was room), we waited almost an hour to receive our food. When we received our food, every order was wrong in some way, and the wings were over cooked. Mind you we had little ones with us so waiting an hour for food isn't ideal. Then they tried to "fix" their mistakes by bringing out extra sauces and more over cooked wings. We saw other parties order after us who received food that looked fine. After being there for almost two hours, the manager only offered to comp the wings when he should have covered the whole meal after the terrible service. People in our party kept getting charged for other's items which prolonged us being there since we had to wait for the receipts to be fixed. We will not be going back to this location and if there's miscommunication between the manager, servers, and cooks this should be fixed ASAP! read more

Don't get me wrong we enjoy coming to native but the service is always a hit and miss when the there inst many people the service is poor and when its somewhat busy the service is good. Yesterday they brought out the wrong wings, and the wings that they brought out tasted like they have been sitting out for awhile, the only thing that was hot was the pizza. read more

Ordered through door dash and everything went well... Wings were immaculate and very good especially when the sauce touches all your tastebuds and spreads everywhere like a hot piece of bread topped with butter and melts like nothing. BUT the fries were absolutely a let down... Fries were so soggy it literally felt like I was eating pieces of wet paper straws. Fries tasted like a couple days old so I decided to throw them away. read more

Went last night and was seated right away. After about 10 minutes we still did not see our server. Finally the hostess came to us and let us know our server would be a few more minutes but she could take our drink order. We attempted to order with her but as our drinks were alcoholic she informed us she was underage and couldn't take our drink order. After about another 10 minutes our server finally came and took our drink/food order. Food came out within minutes. We again kept waiting for drinks trying to eat spicy food with nothing to wash it down. I could see our drinks sitting on the bar waiting to be picked up. The bartender was texting often and another server kept watching the tv while chatting with customers. After 10 minutes I had to get up and grab my drinks from the bar myself, which were then watery from sitting so long. The food was decent, but the service was just not there. Our server took our order and brought us our check, she did nothing to "serve" us. I was pretty disappointed. read more

This 5 stars is for Felicia in the bar area!!! I have come here multiple times at lunch time, and I always purposely want to sit in her section, she is amazing!!! She is consistent every time I have come here which is often. Felicia you are never allowed to leave lol I would greatly miss you as a server!!! I hope your manager gets to read this, you deserve mad kudos for your awesome service you provide! #youarearockstar oh and I guess I should mention the food has been awesome on her watch, fresh and hot! read more

The wings are great here! The place is cute and staff was friendly. Front door guy was very helpful and so was bar staff.

Don't order the fish sandwich you will be disappointed. It's sad that the restaurants in our community don't care about our community. They sell substandard food and charge the same high prices for it. Do better Native Wings our community deserves better. read more

Placed an order to go and when we called the person on the other side asked if we could hold, which we did but after about 10 mins on hold we hung up and called back. The same person answered and said that she forgot we were on hold. Strike one! Then we placed our order 20 wings 3 flavors all flats and extra crispy along with the Apple Walnut Chicken Salad. She confirmed the order then advised it would take 10 -15 mins. Cool, so went there to pick up order and it wasn't ready yet which is fine because I got there a little early. This is we're the problems start she hands the order and I sign receipt check the order and have only two flavors and not all the wings and guess what not all flats. When I mention she states that we never said we wanted all flats and extra crispy so she looks and also sees that I am missing some wings. She goes in the back and comes out and says the cooks will redo my order I am like ok that would be great. So I sit down wait there and she comes back within 5 mins and hands me my order and says I am all set I see now that I have the right amount of containers for the wings so I didn't think I had to check again. Well, when I got home and go to sit and open I see that all they did was re-fry the wings I already had and then the new wings were the only all flats! Alright at this point I am like it's whatever and go to eat the wings and lo and behold the wings that were refried didn't have any of the seasoning on them and tasted plain. We called to complain and the same lady answers and again says we never asked for all flats but besides the point she asks if we want to speak to the manager. We say yes and after being on hold for about another 5 mins she comes back and says that one isn't available right now and they will refund the amount back. We say alright and hang up. Fast forward to next day and didn't get a refund so we call back to ask to speak to manager and this time we get the owner John and he says that they won't refund back since nothing was wrong with the salad and said we can come and get 20 wings whenever. Ok I wouldn't have any issue with this if that is what we were told the night prior and not told we would be fully refunded! I have no clue when I will be back so I hope they have that note forever in the back for free order of 20 wings for me! Ridiculous the customer service that was received at this establishment I was going to call cooperate but figured that would probably do nothing either! I work in customer service have for awhile and that is definitely not how you handle a complaint. Sorry for the lengthy review but I wanted to be thorough in the reason this place gets a one star review. Thank you read more

We come every week for Wing Tuesday. We have been to numerous locations, but the Surprise one is our favorite. Tonight our server was Donna, and she was amazing! The food is always good, and the evening was delightful! We'll be back next week!!! read more

First time visiting this location and was apprehensive due to some of the reviews, but took a chance since it was an equal drive for me and my friend. We ordered the 15 pack wings and shared a personal margarita pizza. We got honey hot, chicken and waffles, and then mango habanero. Everything was good. I wish the wings were a bit warmer but still tasted good. There was a waitress that walked by and yelled in frustration as she walked back into the kitchen. It wasn't busy so maybe somebody was giving her a hard time Visited 2/4/22 read more

Went to pick up an order. Nobody in the front to assist for awhile. Brought food home and food is cold, curly fries did not taste fresh and were soggy with no seasoning . So disappointed. I only live 2 min away. read more

This visit was by far the worst experience at Native. We waited 20 minutes just to place our drinks order and by drinks I mean sodas! Took additional 20 minutes just to get our drinks! Then it took an hour and 10 minutes to get our 24 wings! A waiter dropped a cup of ranch and took them close to 15 minutes to pick it up and clean it. The GM literally stepped on it and didn't even bother to clean it up instead he told one of the host to clean it and when this poor kid cleaned it and left the floor a little wet the GM yelled at him and said you don't fucking leave that shit wet like that and made him get on his knees and dry the floor with rags. That is definitely not a way to talk or treat anyone specially your employees. I seriously don't know how a franchise like Native allows these bad customer experiences to happen and continue to happen since they last reopen this location on 51st ave and Baseline. I have read multiple reviews and they're not good at all. read more

Not only is the food and service terrible, to add insult to injury, it's clear the staff does not care at all. We (me, my friend, and his 7 yr old son) went in, had 2 different servers to start. They both talked about covering for some guy that clearly didn't care about his table. To make a long story short, not only were we there for an hour without food. Once something did come out he didn't even bother to put the kids order in... no joke, didn't bother. We left. Never go there. Ever. read more

So here's a the deal.. Wings are always good, drinks are always strong but the service is like a box of chocolates ... "You never know what your gonna get" in my Forest Gump voices. The bartenders are always on point, I've never left Native feeling like I was cheated, but the service can be sooooo good and then the next time you go it Is sooooo bad that it's literally like a surprise at every visit. Final Say: Overall nice local spot to watch the game... read more

Waited half hour and we left. Open tables. One dirty table. Two girls standing close to the hostess. I asked if we could be seated. They looked at me like I was a bothering them. One girl pointed at the one table that was dirty and said we're waiting for someone to clean off that table. There was a wet towel to clean it. A empty to go box. Either one of them could have cleaned that table. They both left the area. Leaving me and my family, still waiting to be seated. No one cleaned the table for 30min, maybe more. We left. Customer service was horrible. There was 12 other tables they could have seated us at. I spoke to them several times and they just nodded their heads. Two star, only because the restaurant temperature was nice and cool. Room temp. read more

The service here is terrible. We are always seated quickly and then wait 15+ minutes for a server to acknowledge us. On Sunday we also had the pleasure of hearing the manager blow up in the kitchen. She was dropping f-bombs loud enough for several tables to hear everything she said. We also heard metal clanging like she threw pans on the floor as she stormed out of the kitchen. The family behind us got up and walked out as the father was trying to explain the situation to his kids. Get your act together management. You should be embarrassed. That display of unprofessionalism was disgusting. We won't be back anytime soon. read more

The food is pretty good, wings are tasty my only real issues are when I order my wings extra saucy they should come covered in sauce, not dry as a bone. Same thing with the boneless wings! And my wing has fuzzy bits on it! read more

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

I believe this place has some racist employees and I will write down why I think this is true. On 8/31/19 I came down from San Diego to visit friends. I was with my friend Robert (white) and he suggested Native Grill for some good wings and cold beer, so I was down for it. The first thing we did when we entered the establishment was use the restroom, one of the urinals was covered in vomit and the stall door would not close. We notified one the servers and they said they would take a look at, thank you for reporting it. Sat at the booth and out waitress Shantel (shes black), brought us drinks pretty fast but seem annoyed that she had to serve us, even my friend noticed this behavior (i'm Hispanic) so he thought maybe that was the reason our waitresses seem uneasy about serving us. We ordered food for 4 of us, and I immediately started a timer, just to track how long it took to get food to our table. Mind you, the restaurant was not busy at all, there were 2 tables occupied on our side, and maybe 3 tables in the back which i'm assuming had different servers. The table behind us, got there after we did, and they got their food and ate before we even got our food. At minute 37 we still had not had one refill although we had already finished our waters and I had drank half of my beer, so my friend set his glass at the table edge to "hint" we were out of water and in a few minutes waitress passed and took the cup for refills, without even asking what type of drinks or if I needed another beer. At that time I asked her what was up with our food which she said she would check on it as she was almost out of my sight sight. 15 minutes later (52Total minutes later) out food comes out, it was hot which led me to believe that our order was forgotten and never put in, only when we asked where is our food, they started cooking it. So i asked the waitress if there was a manager on duty, and she said she would call her. To my surprise, when I started telling the issues about the food to the shift manager (Crystal) was the name of the manager, Instead of being apologetic, asking how to make it right, she started questioning me, asking if I knew that there are other orders ahead, and they're short on people, and etc. I stopped it on her tracks and told her I was aware of what costumer service looks like and she and waitress had none. The table next to us was also upset of the way this manager handled the situation, and actually wanted me to send the report straight to corporate, which I considered. We ate the food, manager gave us 11 dollar discount for our troubles. Food was good, but costumer service will kill this place....good luck, and me and my friends, will never set foot on this place again, and will continue to tell our story to anyone who asks. read more

The worst experience I've ever had. I will never order/eat at this restaurant again!! The customer service is horrible. Crystal the manager is very unprofessional & rude. A real b**** to say the least. I ordered two days in a row (big mistake). The first day they forgot my celery & no napkins (who gives wings with no napkins?). The second day my whole order was wrong. I ordered 30 wings, 10 hot, 10 mild, & 10 honeyhot, extra crispy. But what I received was 10 hot & 20 mild & ALL soggy. I was given extra celery to replace what I didn't the day prior & as you can see in the picture every single bag of celery was spoiled. SPOILED celery. How can you miss that? Again, no napkins. I called to complain & to sum it up Crystal, the manager very rudely told me I would not be getting a refund & she would no longer serve me. The most unpleasant experience at any restuarant, ever!! No worries because I won't be spending another penny in that establishment. 80 dollars down the drain. Negative 3 stars. -A Very Unsatisfied No Longer LOYAL Customer read more

I'm a grubhub driver & I deliver from this restaurant a lot. The staff is very friendly. The only thing I hate is the long wait every time but today I decided to leave a review because I used their restroom for the first time & omg it was the cleanest I've seen in awhile. I usually don't use public restrooms but I really had to go today. I was surprised by what I'd walked into. The crew really does a nice job trying to keep the place clean regardless of the wait time. They are also pretty busy here often so I can understand why the orders may take awhile. Please keep it clean guys you rock!!! Thank you :) read more

1st time and with certainty the last time I will ever com here. Dining room was closed so we had to sit in the bar area which was full of flies. We sat in a booth and had to keep batting the flies the whole time we were there. I ordered the Hangover burger medium rare with a side order of onion rings. First of all, I wish I had been told that if I switched out the onion rings that it would be an additional $3. When she asked if I wanted regular fries, curly fries, or onion rings it seemed to me that I had an option between the three. As much as I was looking forward to having a "Breakfast Burger" I was disappointed on so many levels. It has to be the dryest burger I have ever had. The egg was overcooked! The bacon was beyond crispy! The hash brown patty reminded me of the ones that McDonald's serves! Overall it was a bad experience an one that I wish I had not had. There are far better places to dine in. read more

So I visited again today with my hubby and baby.My experience was the same as last time just abit longer . So business was slow and it still took about 17 minutes for our food to come out and not only that it was cold yet again.I would of complained or asked for a manager ,but the server was very nice and my hubby doesn't like being one to complain so we just dealt with it..Food looked very nice and delicious its just sad when you take a bite to find out it's cold not even warm.we have to box it up to microwave at home instead of enjoying it at Natives .. read more

Been here a dozen times, but our friends that lived across the street from it just moved so probably won't go back as frequently. The wings are great, the food is generally good. I have never had a bad food experience here. The service depends. In the dining room, which I rarely use, the service has been pretty good. In the bar, which is usually where I am sitting, the service is almost always slow. But as I have said in other reviews, the beer is cold and I have always had a good time here, so that counts for something. Also, when I say slow service, at least they routinely check on you at that place. It's not like at Gallaghers on Baseline where they just never even bother to talk to you or stop back by your table after the first interaction. Cold, affordable beer + a good time + decent food + slow service = 4 stars in my book. read more

Dear God, why? Why did what should have been a 20 minutw dining experience turn into a 55 minute dining experience? The place was empty but it still took 5 mins to be seated and 10 mins to order, then 25 minutes for my burger to come out and yup you guessed it, luke warm. I ordered a green chile burger thinking it would have flavor and it didn't. Karen was behind the fucking grill. The burger had 0 seasoning and its the worst 17 dollars of my life I've ever spent. I would have literally gotten more satisfaction from a toothless hooker than I got from my dining experience. read more
