Native Grill & Wings

We really liked the honey mustard tenders and the ancho chile boneless wings. Our server was Britney and she was pretty awesome, making excellent suggestions and providing all around great service. I’m not a big fan of wing places and usually enjoy going to Buffalo Wild Wings maybe once a year … but this place was so good I can see we’ll become regulars! Thanks, Britney —

Definitely an improvement !!! My husband and I used to go to native all the time! Then the food and service went way down hill… We tried it again and it was better decent service food was fresh and your average bar food. I had a Cobb Salad it was on point — husband had wings. If u gave up on native… maybe give it another try there are not a lot of options in Maricopa, so it is nice to add Native back on the possibility list.

Came here on a Sunday night football night. Hostess told us the soup of the day and the specials. The waitress came over and when we asked what the soup was she said something else. Come to find out they ran out. We ordered the special and those wee out too. We are like WTF. the waitress leaves and then comes back and says they now have the special. We order that some other stuff and one person ordered an appetizer for a meal. The appetizer came out before the rest of the food. It was cool to warm. The rest of the people’s food came out and it was also cool to warm. One order was wrong.
At least the fries were good.

Just watch some customers berate the manager and he kept his composure. I would have lost it on those people. Awesome guy awesome place.

Wings are good. I haven’t had their pizza pie yet, but the negative is their service. They are not inviting, especially the old broad who when I returned to pick up the wings I purchased, questioned me as if I was robbing her and pretty much scolded the waitress who took my order. Service is extremely important if you want costumers to keep coming.

Nice remodel, Food is ok it is a hit or miss. Use to go there for a drink but it has gotten to clicky and crowed. Amber the bartender there is still Awesome though!

The last time I ate here I had to listen to the girls at the door bitch about being at work. I understand that the girls need jobs but if they don’t want to work then the managers should do them a favor and give them plenty of days off. There must be more teens looking for work! Update after a month. Still bitchy little girls working the front. I guess you need something to attract the male customers. Try good service that usually works better!

I come here with my boyfriend all the time. The food is always on point and the staff is always great! This Native is how every Native should be, we’ve had inconsistencies with Natives in other towns, but this one is by far the best!

Update — the remodel, the $ 2.50 Dos Equis and the decline of the Luxe Lounge have all influenced my perception of this place.
I’ll never love their wings, but their chicken-​strippers are good, the sauces work, the prices have improved, the service is great now, there are plenty of TVs, and really in a town with very few options they’ve set themselves apart. Good job.

Great service! My server Ian was exceptional! Love the hot sandwich menu. Was hard to choose.

So upon my first visit the staff here were nice but the atmosphere here didn’t feel welcoming. I actually had an order of wings to go and I asked a hostess what she recommends and I went with their bbq wings they aren’t big but may I add they are flavorful.
However, on my next visit I tried their jalapeño rub and man was it good way better than the BBQ I also got an addition flavor Hot which was amazingly good. I also want to add the girls who helped me on my next visit were more knowledgeable than the other hostess and I finally found a good flavor of wings to go to but I do hear strawberry hot is the BEST so I will try it on my next visit. I docked off a star because the atmosphere needs a bit more smiles for me to want to dine in I’ll just have my orders to go from here on out.

The hamburgers and pizza are awesome! They stepped up their game with the renovation and the atmosphere is nice! Great service as well!

We ate here for the first time on the 14^th. it’s going to be our new local spot. we just moved here less than two weeks ago. Jordyn, she was hands down the best server we’ve had in a long time!!! Our drinks were refilled before we ever even had to ask, our son has many food allergies and she took care of him, she even recommended downloading the app and saved us $ 10.00 off our ticket! I don’t know why people post bad reviews on here? we will definitely be going back! the wings were great, the queso app was also great, and even the pizza was good! They have lots of TVs so we could watch the final four. Not 1 bad thing to say about this place!!!

Poorly ran business. They have issues getting your orders right. They do not even care about the food they serve. Once they served me rock hard avocado. If it is rock hard when you are cutting it why serve it.

The food is mediocre due to the fact that the chicken is overcooked and dry. Customer service is below average related to unpragmagtic bartender. No consistency in portions sizes. I would just suggest that you go for only the Alcohol even then be ready to wait. I will be happy when this area has a better selection in restaurants.

Stopped by Native tonight for a drink and their new waitress working the patio was so incredibly rude! She carded us for a drink, which we understand… But being regulars we didn’t think to bring them. But instead of being polite about it she was full of attitude. It just rubbed us the wrong way. Then she came back and asked if we wanted to order anything we said no. She huffed and puffed and went and got another waitress to help us the rest of the night. The manager might want to rethink this hire!
And we are pretty sure the lemons they use for water and ice tea were sprayed with perfume.

Really not the same after their remodel! Service is always slow, sometimes even rude! Food is mediocre. Used to be my husbands favorite, but we will try a different location in the future!

My wife and I stopped in whilst home shopping for lunch. They were busy for lunch so we sat at the bar. We were given our drinks right away and that is where the prompt service ended. The bar was serverely understaffed. The bartender was working like crazy by herself trying to tend a table with 8 people at it, the outside tables, and the bar at the same time. Occasionally someone would help her but that was not often enough. The Tater Tot appetizer was good though we did not receive plates and napkins until we asked for them. My wife ordered a cheeseburger without tomato… it came with tomato on it. I had the Reuben sandwich which was bland. I don’t know how sauerkraut can be bland but it was. Paying the check was a a tad slow even with cash.
I dont fault the poor service on the bartender. She was busy enough, they just need another person working along side her.

Update! Heinous décor has been revamped and it’s cleaner than ever with a new layout. And, the last time I was there the wings were even better! Service here is always prompt and attentive, so hey, it is going in an all around positive way. Next step… get a better sound system for the bar.

So I’m updating my review. We’ve tried this location a couple times and it was always terrible. I ended up making a complaint with corporate on how bad this location was because we had tried them for a third time a few months ago and again it was awful. Corporate was very apologetic and sent us a gift card for the money we felt was wasted at this location. We ended up using the gift card a couple times at the location we love in Ahwatukee. However, last Tuesday we really wanted wings but didn’t feel like making the 20 minute drive, so we decided to just give the Maricopa location, yet again, another chance. We figured if any night we were going to receive good food it would be that night since they should be busy for Tuesday wing night. And we were right, they were busy, well, sort of… compared to Ahwatukee’s busy it was nothing, but for them it seemed like a lot. We were seated almost right away. Now the environment is still completely terrible; awkward seating arrangements, a strange shaped, half wall smack in the middle of the front of the building, basically no décor, missing and old tv’s, and there were large clumps of dust in our window sill. The service was okay, nothing great but nothing terrible. We ordered our regular; loaded fries and traditional wings. Surprisingly all the food was delicious! We were so happy! Lol So the trick is to come here on wing night to ensure the better cooks and better food, or that’s our guess anyhow. I’m leaving my review at 3 stars until we’ve gone enough times to see that they’ve really improved their food or if last Tuesday was just a fluke. *fingers crossed*
