Native Grill and Wings

CLOSED! 3÷12÷15
My husband went there to place an order because no one answered the phone.
City of Phoenix signs were posted on the doors.

Why did they shut down ??? We loved that place … Please reopen it :(

Obviously something was wrong, cuz they are …
GOOOOOOONNNNNE! Closed for business!

I was so happy when this location opened down the street form me but no I’m just disappointed. The staff is unfriendly/​bored, the food isn’t the same, the place is always empty, and it doesn’t feel like a Native. I love the Tempe and Ahwatukee locations, even the Gilbert one. They feel like a Native New Yorker should but the Bell road location just doesn’t do it for me. Honestly I’m only here because it’s close and I have my birthday coupon. I wouldn’t be surprised if it closed soon. Also, don’t get the server Nikki, she treats you as if you’re a burden to her oh so busy day.

The food can be good here but they are wildly inconsistent. I come here often because a friend of mine works here and the service from her is great but the rest of the service is far below avg. They have gotten my order wrong several times. The bar area is either way too cold or too hot. It is never a comfortable temperature so dress in layers. Lastly, the place is absolutely boring. They have tons of TVs but could use a Golden Tee or Touch Tunes in the bar area. They desperately need something to liven the place up.

So sad. This is definitely NOT the Native New Yorker of my youth. I have such great memories of wing nights with friends growing up in the valley. Always the best wings and crazy good prices.
The wings are still decent (though oddly bread-​ie) and service at this location is usually quite good.
Most likely, it’s just me getting old and thinking back to the «good ol’» days before Native went franchise-​crazy, but I feel like it’s just not the same.
Still like to pop in once in a while, but now Zipp s and Gallagher’s are the go-​tos in our house for wings and football.

We have been here so many times and the service is always friendly. We love the wings. A few times we have asked them to clean the table because it is kind of sticky but everything else is great

I love this place. This is a staple lunch place for my office. I really enjoy the stripper lunch deal with BBQ or ranch.
I Recommend this place for a quick
Lunch!

This location had turned over so many different restaurants you wonder if Native will make it but it does seem to have found the right type of crowd for this location.
Have been eating at Native for a long time when it was at various locations and hit the nights when they had the specials like the current Tuesday $ 0.35 wings. How can you go wrong at that price.
I think I liked the wings more in the past when they did not have a crust on the wings. I always order the mild and the salt & pepper. The Asiago Parmesan are also good. Have had the pizza and burgers which are also good.
This is s good place to watch a game while having wings and drinks. There are TV ’ s every where and a separate dining area from the bar area.
Located close to Wangs it is very accessible with plenty of parking. The staff is always helpful and friendly. As long as the have the Tuesday $ 0.35 wing night I will come back

Ever since this place opened up down the street from me I’ve been a huge fan. Their wings are some of the best in town and have some great flavors as well. The burgers are always awesome and adding pulled pork as a topper makes for a great flavor enhancement. You can also get your burger cooked to order here and it normally comes out cooked perfectly. the few times it hasn’t come out Med Rare the burger was still super juicy and tasted great so there was no need to send it back.
The one thing I will say about this location though it almost seems like the décor is unfinished. there is nothing on the walls other than TV’s and it just seems empty when you walk in giving you kind of a cold feeling. I’ve gotten used to it after coming to this location for a while but it could use some sort of decorations on the wall for sure to make it feel a little more inviting when you first walk in.
The bar is a great place to catch a game except don’t expect the sound to be turned on in the bar for the majority of local sports games. I went in during a Suns game and they would rather play music than the game audio. I always thought Native was a huge suns supporter but it must be up to the individual location to decide that.
anyway, great food, good service, great location. I will be back

Finally something in this location that seems to make sense.
There are lots of screens in the bar and patio access as well.
I like dry rub wings and it seems like they just keep adding flavors.
Service is a bit on the iffy side.

I love the wings but the service is atrocious, I come here every week and every time I’m shocked by the lack of management and disregard for basic customer service. If you come here DO NOT I repeat, DO NOT make plans for after. You will be here for a while.

Did take out for a pepperoni pizza last week.
Wasn’t the best pizza I have ever had but I wasn’t disappointed. Will likely try a sandwich or wings next time.

There are two locations with a little bit different names on Unilocal,but they are the same place, so I’ll review them both! Been here a few times and haven’t had a bad experience to date.
Tuesday — $ 0.59 traditional wing night
Wednesday — boneless wing special night (½ pound = $ 5.49, 1 pound = $ 8.49)
Thursday — stripper wing /​tender special night (½ pound = $ 4.99, 1 pound = $ 6.99)
The most recent visit we made was on Thursday and we gave the stripper tenders a go. You can half and half any order of the strippers — meaning you can get half one flavor, half another for any order. We did the full pound with half hone BBQ and half Parmesan Asiago. Then we ordered a smaller half pound with the Spicy BBQ Ranch dry rub (the Mrs. doesn’t like spicy, so this was just a side order for me).
All of them were tasty and we had tots on the side. I would definitely argue that we ordered too much this time, but it was worth trying it all out and we were able to box up and take home the leftovers.
Servers are always welcoming here and quick to get the food out. You can sit in the regular dining area, the lounge /​bar area with high-​top tables, or the outside patio seating. All are good options depending on what you are looking for in the experience. Inside dining has TVs from almost every vantage point, so if there is a game on you want to see, you can most likely do it here. The lounge /​bar area is similar except it has more of the adult, game watching, no-​kid crowd. The outside patio doesn’t really have good TV viewing, so you’ll find more people here that are just looking to relax and enjoy the food and drinks.
You can’t go wrong with this place even if you aren’t a wing fan. They even offer up spaghetti & meatballs or chicken pot pie for those who want a more substantial meal deal. Give ‘em a go and let me know what YOU think!

Now just called «Native», not sure why they changed it to that, kind weird. The shrimp pizza is the best! Their wings are very good too, so enjoy a nice cold beer, watch the game and have some good pizza. The staff here are friendly and attentive. Always friendly. Desserts are Ok, nothing to rave about. Stick with the pizza wings and beer!

Native New Yorker is now open close to my home and I am excited. We stopped in to use my birthday reward and I realized that this was the first time my husband had ever visited Native with me. I usually go to the Tempe location close to my job and that place is always packed after work. This new location on Bell Rd & Tatum is very large and roomy you can sit on the dining side or the bar side or outside on the patio. There are all sorts of seating options include single tables to large group booths.
They have a lot of flat screen TVs through out the place so you will never miss the game or whatever event you are looking for. This location does happy hour all day every day and wing specials on Tues., Wed, and Thurs. I had the California Burger which I enjoyed. My Husband had the Buffalo Chicken pizza and he loved it. I saw a sign up advising that they offer free team trivia Saturday nights starting at 9pm. Service was excellent and this location is nice and clean; we will be frequent customers since we now have a Native in the area.

This location opened a short time ago and we’ve been twice now. The first trip was right after they opened up and the second visit was over the past weekend.
They have a varied menu, with wings obviously being at the forefront. The menu offers 3 versions to choose from — tenders, regular, and boneless. I recommend doing the traditional wings on your first visit, and here is why — the traditional wings can be ordered in any quantity with any flavoring! So if you want 5 parmesan and 3 salt and vinegar and 3 sweet bbq, you can do that with this option. The other wings have minimum order quantities to vary the flavoring.
So far I’d say the Parmesan option is our favorite flavor, but the Honey BBQ is a great choice also. The Salt & Vinegar was too coated in the dry run, and was actually way too salty for us. We’ve also tried the Asian Garlic (good) and Pineapple Teriyaki (okay).
There are a lot more menu options we want to give a go around on subsequent visits; may even try the Native Triple for $ 20 so we can try out various things.
Overall: B+
Definitely some wing flavor options that are better than others, but there are a lot of options that should please any wing fan! Servers have always been nice, pricing isn’t bad and place is always clean and inviting.

Yeah, so this was pretty good. I was somewhat skeptical after reading the negative reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised. We came in on a Sunday night and it was very quiet. Really surprised at how slow it was. My husband and I got the 3 for $ 20 deal, and got the chicken flatbread for an appetizer and it was just swimming in cheese. A little too much for me tasted good. I got the Asian Chicken Salad and it was great! The lettuce was fresh, and plentiful. Hubby got a burger and was happy with it. My F-​I-​L got the reuben and seemed to like it. Bro-​In-​Law got a pizza off the 3 for $ 10 menu and it looked a little piddly to me. We then got the cookie and ice cream dessert and it was just like a pizzookie — soooo good! Overall a pretty good deal especially if you do the 3 for $ 20 deal (1 appetizer and 2 entrees).

Watched ASU get pummeled by Stanford here on our first visit. Impressive t.v. layout! Every direction you look there is a good viewing angle.
Enjoyed great friendly service on a very busy night. Course, we had some wings and they definitely know what they are doing. Salt and pepper version reminded of us KFC chicken…
Glad there is a great sports bar close!

I’m basing my review of my visit. I’ve been a big fan of the wings at Native from their Chandler location and Bell Rd. off the 17. I was so excited to see they were opening one up right down the street from me.
When I called my order in, i could tell the girl on the other end was new. So I made sure to say everything slowly and precise. She then told me she was writing the order down and will put it in the computer after the manager was done with something.
I walked in and they couldn’t find my order right away. They found it written on a tablet next to the register. Luckily it was only a few minutes and my wings were ready to go.
Once I got home I opened them all excited to eat my favorite juiciest greasiest yummy Asiago Parmesan wings. Sadly though… it looked as if they just grabbed some wings that just got done and dusted the Parmesan on them. I actually had to use the ranch dressing.(something I never do with those wings). I’m used to the wings being super dripping with (i know it sounds gross) grease and oil from the asiago and the Parmesan is all clumped up and coated all over.
They weren’t like this at all. I had plain wings with a little Parmesan on them.
:(
