Native Grill & Wings

I feel it is my duty to warn my fellow Unilocalers of this Native Grill (I still call it Native New Yorker). I can not review their food because I never had a chance to place my order. The service is very poor. Our waitress did not seem to be happy to be at work. She came to our table at about the ten minute mark to advise she would be back. I lost it when our server went to a table who was just sat and received drinks immediately. She finally remembered us as we pass her up as we were walking out. I asked for the manager to inform him of the awful customer service. The young manager looked so scared which made me feel bad. I was very calm and wanted him to save the next poor soul of this treatment. He was not trained for interaction with customers or has been yelled at too often.
I would not discount the Native Grill all together. I am writing this review at the Glendale and 101 store with drinks and appetizer on our table. Night and day experience and would tell you to just go to the Glendale store.

In a word: blah. Service was competent, but not much else. Food is standard fare (wings, apps, burgers, etc…) that is passable at best. My companion and I shared a sampler and Asian chicken salad. The onion rings and wings were good, but the fried zucchini, potato skins, and salad were not even close. The table next to us had a pizza that looked pretty good. IF, and that’s a big if, I go back, I’ll probably try that. You can get much better food elsewhere

Full bar but no wine list? The service was a joke, they all hung around the hostess stand, and again no wine list? Come on, get it together!

Was out at Native New Yorker and Jessica my bartender was awesome. Made Avondale cooler than it sounds.;-)

Great service from Adrianna. Just came in to watch the game, but she made me feel welcome, never had an empty glass.

I’ve been to this location twice, and both times I left a happy customer. They have perfected the crisp on their chicken wings and I usually eat wayyyy to many of these because of that.
My last visit I waited longer then I did the first time, and the chicken wings weren’t very hot when it came out. I also waited for quite some time for the server to come to the table once I was seated. but overall… great food.

Gross there was a hair in our fries! Grossed us out couldn’t finish our food but they still made us pay minus the fries. I think the whole meal should have been free!

First time at this location and I must say Adrianna who was our bartender /​server was amazing. The bar was busy but she was on top of her game. We never had to wait and she continually checked on us and made sure our drinks were full. I will come back just for the service, and the burger that she recommended was bomb!

I live about 20 minutes away from this location in Peoria, but I don’t mind the drive because Adrianna always takes care of me. She’s constantly being sweet and friendly, and I like a bartender who I can conversate with.
For example, I was with a friend at the bar when we both had to go to the bathroom. I walked away quickly and when I returned she had my purse behind the bar. She made my friend give it to her so she could watch it while we were away! How sweet.

Server was not up to standards, we received our appetizer with our main entrée. DO NOT GET «the potatoe skins» $ 8.49 for 7 half cut pieces of skin with cheese n bacon, so not worth it!!!

Great place to stop after work and have a few drinks and food with friends… great atmosphere, bar food is decent, wouldve given 5 stars but 2 of the 3 bartenders arent good, the other 1 with the black and purple hair is great! Karaōke night is also a lot of fun!

I love Native! This isn’t my go to location (even though I’m literally doen the street). This particular location delivers sub par service with great food. My family and I always order the spinach artichoke dip for starters, and it is delicious! Back in the day when it was Native New Yorker, portions used to be much larger than they are now and they offered 39 cent bone-​in wings every Tuesday/​Thursday. That has changed now unfortunately. I would not recommend this particular location as a first pick based on service alone. I would pick the Native on Estrella Pkwy, Litchfield/​Waddell, or the Glendale location over this one. The food is pretty much the same no matter what location you go to IMO.

Seems like every time I come here the only consistent thing here bad service. Decent food and messed up orders.

Good Food! & Good Service! Good Beer Ice Cold! The Only Downside us when you first initially walk into the bar area theres a bad scent then you get used to it. The restaurant portion is great all around.

Dark dungeon of a bar with a maze of entrance and exits. The food is pretty standard for a «Bar and grill». Boneless wings pretty bad, mozzarella sticks cold and hardly worth ordering. Came during happy hour on a Monday night, the music was terrible. Something played that apparently no one had control over. Plenty of Tvs to catch your game, but the lack of locally owned and Operated, robot of a corporate bar won’t be having us back again any time soon. The bartender was gone from behind the bar well before, and after happy hour was over, then wouldn’t let me order my beer she was missing for. Nice try Native, you are closer than other places, but won’t be back unless things are different.

I usually come in on my lunch. I only have a 30 min lunch therefore it is imperative that I get service fast. When I come In I am immediately greeted very time. I will go to the bar rather than the seated dining area. The bartender that works in the early afternoon is great. She can miltitask like none other. She understand the importance of time management along with friendly customer service. Typically she is the only person serving the bar during the day. Overall good experience each time I visit.

Service was the worse! Sat down for 10 mins and was never acknowledge by a waiter or a server. Not even so much as a soft drink or «I will be right with you.» All of the waiters were huddled up together talking like there was not any customers in the building! What made it even worse the same girl who took us to our seats 10 minutes prior, just said thanks and come again while she was on her phone. Too bad she did not pay attention when we left, because she might have seen that we were just there and now walking out.

Setting: Saturday evening — a little early for dinner but my son had skipped lunch playing at his friend’s. It was barely 5:00.
First strike. We waited 5 mins even though more than half the tables were empty. We should’ve been seated immediately. The man behind me asked, «Really? We have to wait and there’s 10 tables ready right now!!!» The hostess said something about new wait staff coming on and she wasn’t sure who was assigned to which tables. something like that.
2^nd strike. After we were seated, we waited another 5+ mins for a wait person to appear. I had to ask her for a kid’s menu.
All I ordered was a drink and the kid ordered some wings.
I sipped at my margarita and almost gagged. It was like I had ordered a large SALT WATER. Looking at the bottom of the glass, there was a pile of salt clearly visible. GROSS! Now I know the rim usually has salt around it but I’ve never had a margarita with salt actually in the drink. It was awful. 3^rd strike.
I had to ask the waitress to take the drink off the bill. The glass was still full and I lifted it to show her all the salt in the bottom. No apology. She acted like that was no big deal.
But she did take it off the bill.
Learned my lesson. Won’t return. NYPD Pizza is closer to me anyway.

Okay so we came in on a Thursday night. It was slow and still took 20 minutes for us to get sat at a table.
I really wish we wouldn’t have waited.
Our server forgot to bring silverware, so we didn’t have silverware for about 25 minutes after we were sat.
SLOW service. No refills unless we flagged her down. The food was meh.
If you look at my reviews I’m very fair.
I don’t like giving places bad reviews, but this place was just horrible.
We spoke to the manager and he gave us a «discount»… 7 dollars off a 72 dollar check.
Might as well not even bother. Way to offend us.
We will definitely not be back.
Not worth the time, the money, nothing.

This place is my go to bar. Good bar food and cheap beer during happy hour and football season. The service could be better but im not the type of person to complain too much about service when i just want a pint or two.
