Native Grill & Wings

As far as Natives go, I really liked this one. Great patio space with corn hole to mix up a fun afternoon with friends. The bartenders can make just about anything your little heart desires. Tiffany killed the red beer game. Oh, and it’s relatively new so things are still so fresh and so clean clean :-)
If you plan on stopping in for some drinks and wings, you’ll be happy

Not a bad place. Go to wings place for me if I’m staying near home. Good choice of beer and nice big glasses also. Service is ok and never too crowded.

My 2 boys love the wings I mean love them I can take or leave it but we go and deal with it

I really really want to love this place. It’s close to home and the restaurant is beautiful. It’s clean and the staff is pretty friendly. So what’s the problem? The food. It’s expensive, small portions and not that tasty. To top it off you now have to order wings in packs or pay extra per wing and with an order of 12 wings you only get two sauce choices when you used to be able to get whatever you wanted. We might be back for a beer and maybe an appetizer but I don’t think we will eat a meal here again.

We just moved to AZ a week ago and we already found our fave new waitress. Christy at the Goodyear restaurant is amazing. She made the already food food better by making suggestions and making sure my kiddo was smiling. We all enjoyed our food but we loved Christy and will be back to see her!

The restaurant looks great… clean and well kept. It’s a bit on the small size, which means lots of waiting on a Friday night. There are no misters on the patio and only two seats for patrons waiting to be seated. My husband and I ordered the same thing: a chicken strip meal that comes with French fries and cole slaw. I asked for double slaw and no fries; Husband asked for double fries and no slaw… a pretty easy order. They messed it up. The portions were skimpy at best. The French fries were literally pathetic, the cups of slaw less than half filled. To top it off, my drink was bone dry (were talking not even a little melted ice) for 14 minutes (from the time I started counting).

If I come in during the day the service and food is first rate.
Then…I come in at 6:15 to eat dinner with my wife. The food tastes like oil. I had the club and there was sooooooooooooo much mayo it was dripping off the sandwich.
Our waitress had time to giggle and laugh with the other servers but not tend to our table
If it was not for the great service we get normally I would not come back
Lot of other choices.

Food is expensive and lacks taste, creativity, and portions. The only thing this place has going for it is the beer and apparently keeps alive with regulars who play trivia.

My husband and I have been there about three times. We have had one good waiter and two that were not-​so-​great. One waiter seemed overwhelmed and nervous, even though he had only a few tables. He spoke so fast, we could barely understand him. The food at Native Grill & Wings is only so-​so. As a vegetarian, I am limited in what I can eat there. I have ordered a dinner salad that had strawberries, apples, nuts and cheese. It was fresh enough, but the vinagrette was very tart. My husband has tried their wings, their pizza, and a sandwich. He was unimpressed with all of it. Also, it’s usually very loud in there, whether the dining room is full or not. There are always families there with screaming kids who are undisciplined and running around. I realize the staff can’t do anything about that. The restaurant floor is often dirty — littered with napkins, food, etc. The last time we dined there was in March. We won’t be going back. The atmosphere is too chaotic, and the service and the food are just mediocre. There are plenty of other better places to eat in the area.

Lindsey is a awesome Bartender! Friendly and always making sure you have a cold refill. See you soon Lindsey!

Stopped in for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Met expectations, nothing under or over. We sat at the bar and enjoyed the open air. We ordered a cheeseburger and the cali cluck. Cheeseburger was very good, fresh. The cali cluck I would probably not order again as the ciabatta roll overwhelmed the small piece of chicken/​avocado. Bartender was nice and service was good.

Bartenders were great, beer was cold, and it was a lot of fun catching a few March Madness games.

Came in for the first time with my friends. Sat at the bar with Tiffany and had lunch. Food and service were great.

The quality certainly isn’t there for the price. The service was slow and food wasn’t as good as it used to be. Way over priced. Too many better places to waste our time here.

Food was cold or overcooked, service was slow at the bar with only 2 other patrons. Sad that it wasent better, probably wont go back

The actual restaurant looks really great and was clean but the food is not something that will have me back again.
We ordered the Loaded Fries as an appetizer and those were really good. For our entrée we each ordered wings, my husband got the hot chicken strips and I got the boneless honey bbq wings. For a place that has «wings» in their name they sure do suck. The sauce on mine tastes like something you’d get out of a bottle at the grocery store and the actual temperature of the meat was hardly warm. My husband said his weren’t anything special and he woud much rather go to our usual chain restaurant for wings and beer.
As for the service, it wasn’t terrible but it wasn’t exceptional.

Went in for lunch and was given excellently fast service by Melissa. Wings were perfectly cooked!

This new location is great. Awesome staff and great happy hour specials. We will be back for sure.

First for the record, we called two hours before we went to this place to make sure a gift card we received a year ago would be okay. We were told. No problem at all.
Sure.
This place was a disaster. You could sense it. You could see the fear in the eyes of the waitstaff and the lack of urgency in the management team. When we were seated we immediately saw that not one, not two but three tables around us were having issues with service. No food, wrong orders. After a 7 minute wait for a server I went to the hostess station to see if they could fetch a server for us.
Then we ordered. Ordered an appetizer that never came. Upon reminding server about it, it came with the meal. Uhhh, that declassifies it as an appetizer.
We order beers and meals and then we present our gift card. Server returns and says (not a quote, but close) ‘we don’t have a machine to run this so we can’t take it.’ Not an offer to ask, not an offer to try and make things right, just an unceremonious unwillingness to help. We ask for a manager.
After about 10 minutes they decide they will deduct the gift card, that they will not charge us for the misbegotten appetizer and we get this chestnut of an excuse from the boss. (again close to a quote) ‘We’ve only been open a week. Blah blah blah.‘
Memo #1 to Native and the corporation opening these stores: This is NOT an acceptable reason for poor service. If you’re not ready to open, THEN DON’T OPEN!
Memo #2 to Native: There is a Buffalo Wild Wings about 10 minutes down McDowell Road from your place. We’re going there.

Their food is the same poor quality over priced expensive crap as you received at native new yorker. Their wings are small and priced by weight.
They can rebrand themselves as much as they want but until they start making items fresh and not frozen they will die. They may stay open since we get an influx of snowbirds and catus league folk.
When Oregano’s opens it is going to destroy them. Oregano’s has the best wings in the valley because they cook them fresh. They don’t half cook them like Native and every other bar around does.
If you want bearable wings go to Austins. Ironically its in the same spot as native new yorker was in.
If you can hold out a couple months wait for Oregano’s.
