Good service, love the Parmesan dry rub wings. Buffalo Chicken dip is fantastic. Can always ways find a yummy wing.

Service was great. Food was good not great. I can’t say I was a big fan of the atmosphere. Kind of dark and dingy. I’d go again but this restaurant probably wouldn’t be my first pick.

This place is pretty good most of the time, though a bit inconsistent in service speed and quality. I do like the wings quite a bit, and some of their other offerings are quite good. There’s nothing particularly outstanding though. Every now and then it seems like service takes forever, while sometimes it is fast.

Stopped by for lunch last Sunday while in town. I ordered 20 wings medium and wife had Club Sandwich. The wings were pretty hot for medium, way hotter than the menu let on. But, even though hotter then I would like, the wings were really good (the chicken part of the wing vs the sauce). Wife said the Club was «Just OK». Had a side order of Tater Tots which were pretty good. Next time will try the salt-​n-​pepper

Here for the 35 cent wings and now I remember why I stopped coming here. Extremely slow service, tiny teeny itty bitty wings & flat beer. Got here at 7:30 and barely leaving at 9p due to the ridiculous wait time.

1988 called, they want their old ass, outdated, cheap garbage pretend brick sheet paneling and pathetic NY Plastic covered art work that wouldn’t look good in a garage back.
Seriously. This place is dark. Musty. STILL Smells from when smoking inside was legal. The exterior is worn. The landscape is tired and needs help. Theres NOTHING inviting about the exterior of this restaurant at all. The interior is WORSE. Deep fried breaded wings that turn to mush. Yummmmm. (I think I just threw up a little in my mouth)
The owner needs to wake up. The hey day of NNY is OVER.
DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. Travel another 500 feet to Santisi brothers in the same parking lot by the sticky floor cinemas and walk into a place with like 400 TVs all streaming everything you could imagine. Cute friendly waitresses. GREAT food. NON breaded wings. And NO. I dont work for Santisi. Its just a much better place. Seriously. Its actually what NNY wishes it was.

Terrible! We went during the day so maybe it’s different at night. There was one person working. She was good considering we didn’t see her much. Not her fault. The food was terrible.
I assumed (I know) that this would be an Italian restaurant. No. They serve Italian style food, but is far from an Italian restaurant at kitchen or heart.
It’s like the Italian style version if an Applebee’s or Fridays.

Some friends took us here to eat. Everything was OK. The pepperoni pizza was average. There was not very much pepperoni. The hot wings were nothing special but the honey wings were very good. Service and atmosphere was good.

***Customer service is critical to the success for any restaurant***
I come to this restaurant for lunch to order some buffalo wings. I’ve only been to this reseaurant once previously and had buffalo wings there and they were pretty good so I thought I would give it another shot.
I am on a low carb diet at the time so I cannot have breaded wings. When I got my order, I recieved breaded wings. I told my waitress that I didn’t want breaded wings and I had non-​breaded wings from here once. Her reply was «you have to tell me that because all of our wings are breaded here». Instead of offering to take the wings back and correct the order I had to tell her that. She just stood there in silence thinking I was going to accept these breaded wings. When I mentioned about replacing the wings she replied, «its going to take a while». I wasn’t going to say anything but I am spending my money here and I should be treated with respect.
I went to the bar area and asked to speak with the manager on duty. I told him what had happened and he did take action. The manager said it was not true and it only takes 8 minutes to cook. When she came back, she seemed pissed and offered me another drink. Although I didn’t want another drink, she snatched up the drink while I was trying to tell her I didn’t want another one. My wings arrived as order and they were good as they were the last time. Because of the quality of the food and how the manager responded, I did not give this restaurant a 1 star.
To top it off, before I left she took it upon herself to explain to me what happened. I have nearly 20 years of customer service. If you make an error, you don’t argue with your customer. Just apologize for the error and offer to fix it. It was her fault that she failed to ask how I wanted the wings. I don’t think it was necessary for her to come at my table to continue to go on about it. If you are going to work in the service industry, you will have to grow a thick skin and not let little things irritate you such as a communication error as this one.

Recently came always love the wings but wtf they took steak fries and curly fries off the menu. Please put them back plesse.

When exactly did this place start sucking?
I can remember seeing it as a destination back in the 90’s. Even through the first part of the 2000’s it was old reliable.
Now, wings battered and bland (they DON’T batter them in NEW YORK!), pizza so-​so, service so hit-​or-​miss that at times I feel like serving my own table.
What the hell happened?

My wife & I have been coming here for years. We’ve come for Karaōke, to meet friends, bring the family, to enjoy a game on TV, for lunch and dinner ad enjoy a game on TV.
I think their wings are some of the best in town. If you want great tasting NNY is the place to go.
the service here is always good. The food is always hot, fresh and fairly fast even when their busy. It’s great for families, meetings or just to hang out.
FOOD: Always good. SERVICE: Professional & attentive. PRICE: The prices are compatible to places like Gallagher’s, Santisi Brothers Pizzeria and Sports Grill, Applebee’s or others like them in the area. CONCLUSION: Relaxed atmosphere where you can have a relaxed meal and spend some time doing it. RETURN FACTOR 100%.

******************* What does my OVERALL rating mean? ********************
5 stars –Highly recommended. I would be willing to drive out of my way to this business. It is that good. This place represents their industry or cuisine very well!
4 stars — Highly Recommended. I would frequent this business.
3 stars — Not that good but not that bad. Just average. I wouldn’t mind going again.
2 stars — I would not recommend this establishment to friends or family.
1 stars — DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DO NOT patronize this business. I would RUN AWAY from this place and you should too! DON’T WAST YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY AT THIS ESTABLISH

My wife and I always heard good things about this place. We were wanting to go to Tagliani’s, but thought we should try Native New Yorker for once, to see what the hype was about. We were sat quickly and the lady seemed pretty nice. Unfortunately she rushed us through our decisions and never offered any helpful options or features/​benefits. Happy hour lists appetizers being half off, but that’s only some of them, and conveniently, the three I was considering were those. I understand there are small prints on deals at times so that could easily be overlooked.
The buffalo chicken dip appetizer we ordered was really good, but only worth $ 4 maybe $ 5 size-​wise and could have been a lot better without the chunks of chicken.
My wife ordered the veggie calzone with pepperoncinis and mushrooms. When this came out we were both impressed with the size, but the bread didn’t have much flavor. Along with this, recotta cheese was a very «strange» cheese to include being that its so grainy and overpowering. It ruined the calzone for me altogether.
I ordered 18 wings on the bone. 6 suicide, 6 hot, and 6 pineapple teriyaki. The wings had a good amount of chicken, more than any other restaurant, but the sauces ruined it for me again. I can handle a lot of heat so my opinion may differ from others. The suicide sauce wasn’t very hot, but there were so many red pepper seeds everywhere and they were actually pretty gross, unless doused in ranch. I felt they tried so hard to make them hot, they ignored the taste factor altogether. The hot wings were very good and decently spicy. The pineapple teriyaki wings were ok, but seemed almost soggy because of possibly soaking the wings in the sauce for hours, absolutely doused. I’m not sure which wings caused it, and I NEVER get heartburn, but I did here.
While we were waiting for the bill, we realized our server was the only serving the entire restaurant. I understand this isn’t her fault, but the restaurants. The bill finally came, she had overcharged us for the calzone. All minimal things that could be overlooked, but so many that it ruined the entire experience.
With waters and those meals the total was $ 30.20. I tipped $ 5 and got the hell out of there. Should have gone to Tagliani’s. I took the extra food home, not to waste, but it just sat there in fear of heartburn again.
If you go for drink and wings, I imagine it could be somewhat of an enjoyable scene being the bar top tables are all close and near the bar and there are tv’s everywhere.
I would have given 2 stars, but my stomach hurts now.

I recently had drinks and food with friends here. The service was awful! It took over 40 minutes to get my 2^nd drink. In addition, they forgot two food orders. When I spoke with the manager he offered to take the items off my bill. I told him I will pay for the items I got. I was so frustrated because I just wanted him to listen to my complaint and he only kept throwing out excuses.

Im an actual native new yorker so I was a little apprehensive to come visit this place at first but a lot of friends told me this place was amazing.
Even with low expectations I was left pretty dissapointed. The staff never checked on us, seems to be waiting out the clock and all the food tasted like it came out of the microwave.

Shockingly disappointing! Tipped the bartender 20% on our to go meal and waited FOREVER! I kept thinking it’s because I ordered a pizza and they were making it fresh. However, the pizza was cold when I got home and I’m only 4 miles away! To top it off, she didn’t give us any silverware to eat our cookie sundae dessert, no crushed red pepper for the pizza, AND no napkins at all! Did I mention we had a dozen wings!!! No napkins??? Yikes. Talk about poor service. I should’ve tipped the cooks cuz the bartender didn’t do anything for me other than bring me a water and then she forgot about my order! I waited over 40 minutes. Ridiculous. The bartender should’ve asked me if I needed napkins, silverware, etc, if she didn’t plan on automatically including it.
Truly disappointing visit tonight and you can’t blame it on the place being busy. It was 1015pm on a Tuesday night and there were only a few tables.
Native Newyorker food is always great, but not when it’s cold. Take my advice– Don’t order to go. The food would probably arrive sooner, still be hot, and you’d certainly have napkins if you ate at a table.

We got in line, gave our name, then MANY people who came after us were seated before us. Fuck me right?
We like the wings, the rest of the food was meh.
Took a good fifteen minutes from when we got the bill to when we could sign it and leave, we were even right next to the register.

They have a nice 2 for $ 20 menu with a shared appetizer and two main courses. The bacon and cheese flatbread is delicious and addictive. My burger was just right but the fries tasted as if they been reheated. My date enjoyed his chicken strips but was not impressed with the fries either. Karoke happens on Friday and lets just say it was interesting to say the least. All in all it was ok.
