Native Grill & Wings

I paid $ 8.99 for to go order of the spinach artichoke dip and I got about a half a container of the spinach artichoke dip that’s not enough there to pay $ 5 for much less than $ 9 for I will never get a to go order from there again

Food is very good, waiters are nice. However, we always finish our drinks and have to wait a while before getting a refill, if they even remember to refill before we leave!

This is my first and last visit to this establishment they have disabled parking at the back so far away from the front is untrue then double doors to get in saving grace is it large area inside that inables you to move around

We used to frequent this location a lot when we lived in Ahwatukee. We were in the old hood and decided we wanted wings. Man, the flavor was great but the wings seemed to have shrunk tremendously. The table tents were sticky and the hostess told us it was happy hour but neither the hostess or waitress let us know what was on happy hour. TV’s seemed to have multiplied and they are everywhere, even through out the dining room. A new wing place around the corner just opened and now regretting us not trying the new place. Same stale old joint. Yes joint. Not a restaurant.

Stopped in tonight after placing a take out order. Got there early and was greeted by a very friendly bartender who helped me out. Service was quick and I was in and out with my wings and flatbread. Always love this place!

My husband and I decided to order native ahead of time, because it was fight night (UFC). We called in our order at 4:30pm, saying we would pick up our food at 6:30pm. They had plenty of time to have our food ready. We got there and had to wait 30min, meanwhile no one acknowledged us for 15min. We finally got our order, mind you the fight had already started at 7pm. We didn’t leave till 7:10pm .We had a big order, but they forgot our wings, ranch. We come home to find out the food wasn’t up to par.
We ordered:
–Fish and Chips Platter
–Fish and SHRIMP platter
–6 honey bbq wings
–1 pound of boneless
–potato skins
–3dinner salads
Things wrong:
–We got 2 fish and Shrimp platters
–Fish didn’t come with lemon, was cold
–the fries were soggy and ice cold
–potato skins had scallions, when we asked for them on the side
–2 of the salads hardly had any cheese
We thought this order would of been a breeze, especially because my husband had the lady on the phone REPEAT back the order. This isn’t the first time they have messed up. The customer service here is crap. The managers are just as dumbfounded as the employees.
The whole time we were waiting by the bar for our order, they grab the limes, lemons, etc with their BARE hand. Nasty!
We won’t be coming back here, UNLESS they get new management!

Have been eating at this location on Tuesday nights for over a year. Tuesday was wing night and wings were 30 cents each for a limited time during their anniversary celebration. They eventually raised the price to 49 cents each. Prior to this celebration period the wings were a reasonable medium size. After the celebration period and when they increased the price, the wings were very small. I even joked to my waitress that it must have been difficult to find all of these pigeon legs. On one occasion I had a wing that was only a small piece of meat. Our group of Tuesday night eaters have since quit going to Native wings because of this change. Their other menu items are good, but, when you bill yourself as a Wing House they need to be the best item on the menu. By changing the size of the wings they have cheapen the total restaurant chain.

In looking for a place serving food after midnight we found that Native’s (BTW, when did they shorten their name?) Full kitchen is open till 1am. We got boneless wings, I actually try this at almost every bar! Just love little pieces of chicken breast that’s deep fried and covered is some kind of sweetish sauce. Tried their sweet bbq and it was decent. The breading quickly got soggy and the sauce was kind of sparse. Ended up just asking for extra BBQ, which they were happy to help with. There are just better wings and sauces at other places around here. We also got a burger and fries but the fries were kinda limp and the burger just wasn’t anything to write home about.
Overall, its just a very average place. I think maybe in n out with a burger and chocolate milkshake would better hit that 1am craving if you’re not looking for a beer too.

This place is a nice place come in out of the heat to enjoy a chat with some friends and have some drinks and appetizers for their happy hour. The staff is attentive and a chill crowd. This is the unwinding spot…

«Hot «wings are not very hot. As an Arizona native I must say it lacks a zing! ¹⁰⁄₁₀

Had the worst service at this location. My order came out wrong and the server was totally rude about it… I wanted to try some of their new flavors of wings and the server did not want to tell me about them… he constantly walked off fast to avoid serving us it was very strange… I will never go back here. EVER

I should have listened to the horrific reviews before we went in but we were starving and by the time we were going thru them– we had already been seated.
The WORST possible service EVER. It was 7:30
On a MONday night– there were maybe 5 or 6 tables and yet it still seemed to take the waitress 12 min to bring waters. Not to mention the diet coke which she finally brought as a doctor pepper. 10 min later I get a diet coke and its flat. Ok, not her day personally but it sat on the edge of the table untouched the whole time and she didn’t even acknowledge it.
Food was boring and mediocre to say the least, salad was wilted and calzone was runny and burnt.
seriously an hour and a half later she finally rolls around to check on us and bring the check, we mention the diet coke being flat and she apologized and took it away. Brings the check and the coke is on there. Ask her to please comp the soda which she says ok too, we give the card, bill comes back, the bill has now been charged WITH the soda still on. Let’s not forget that she disappeared with the card and bill for an extra 8 min, yes I was counting.
All and all, someone needs to get involved– like maybe a manager or someone who knows how to run a restaurant. This is absolutely unacceptable. And the whole vibe of the place was the same so j highly doubt it was just our one waitress.

Food and service was nothing far of average. Not having been to Native in many moons, we arrived at this destination as the chosen venue after a graduation. Understanding that this was a busy evening, the restaurant shouldve been well prepared for what was in store (my review is not based on their lack of preparation, rather what I experienced during my visit).
Service 3: Our server could not provide any good recommendations on any of the food. And the one thing she did suggest was mediocre (pizza). All servers should be required to try each item on the menu. That way when a customer asks, «how’s the … ?», they can answer honestly vs. no answer at. As a customer, I want to hear how great things taste, not «I don’t know». KNOW YOUR MENU!
My real issue was with the children’s food. We ordered 2 mac n cheese dinners, but only one showed up. We inquired with other food runners who claimed to be checking into the matter, still nothing. Finally, after asking a third runner, someone stepped up and personally owned the issue. After waiting 20 mins from the time we asked how much longer would it be for the second meal, it finally arrived. You would’ve thought this was gourmet mac n cheese. Nope! Straight up Kraft (but the fruit cup was pleasing).
Our waitress NEVER came to confirm if everything was ok or if we needed anything else. Had she done that she would’ve known that we had a 4 year old who was extremely unhappy that all the other children had eaten and she hadn’t.
Servers: CHECK ON YOUR PEOPLE! Your tip depends on it.
Food 3: as mentioned earlier, the food was mediocre at best. My pizza was nothing fancy. The children’s mac n cheese was a knock-​off version of Kraft (blue box version folks).
I personally have no reason to return as I found nothing appealing on the menu that would satisfy my tastebuds. There was quite the selection of food on the menu but, I couldn’t find anything that would be worth a second go round.

Atrocious service. Apparently they ran out of silverware — how does a restaurant that has been opened and established run out of silverware? Wings are very good but I won’t go back because of the service. Received the wrong drinks and food took forever.

We have come to this Native a few times now and the service is the same… just not very good. We go for the $.49 wings on Tuesday, but the service unfortunately isn’t worth .$ 49

Came here today for the .49 cent wings with co-​workers. Wings were good, but the service was bad. Very slow. Rarely got drink refills. Food took forever to come out (upwards of an hour for wings). Nice enough person, but we rarely saw her.
Most other Natives are great, but this one in particular has consistently slow service.

Food was good. Wings were better than average but the wait staff is what puts this place over the edge. Great service today and they had several big groups. No easy feat.
I liked it and will be back again.

Native is one of my favorite bars in town. The bar area is big, the bartenders are always friendly, there are lots of good tvs surrounding you so you can watch the game, and the specials are daily and great. Trivia night is always fun too. That said, the food needs a lot of work. The wings are good and it ends there. If you want to have a few drinks and maybe watch some sports, come here. If a meal is your primary reason to visit, I’d go elsewhere.

My father drags me everywhere – from Fry’s Electronics to Popeye Chicken (UGH). Native Grill & Wings is actually one of the few places in which I do not dislike anything. I decided to write a simple easy review on this particular location, so why not? Let’s cut to the chase.
Pros:
I’m not exactly a sports fan, but this is DEFINITELY a place for one. There are TVs everywhere, throughout the patios, the indoor areas, and at the bar. They are all constantly switched on to ESPN, FOX Sports, and on rare occasions, ESPN2. From the looks of it, it seemed impossible to not have a clear view of the TV screen without having someone’s head, arm, etc. block your way. We came on Sunday, and the wings are crazy cheap. The fish and chips had a pretty decent taste, as we split them all up between the three of us. The service was not particularly the nicest, nor the meanest, but was speedy when talking to us. They had great placing of all the heat lamps and chairs outside in the patio, so it is great to come during the winter. The location is fairly large, so you can almost always find a table to sit at.
Cons:
The patio had not many places to put your used cigarettes. I am not a smoker, nor do I give any offense to smokers, but the patio REEKS of smoke. The service here is fast-​speaking, but not exactly fast-​moving. We waited for several minutes between when we asked for the check and the delivery of the check itself. The fish and chips had decent taste, but not decent size. They were tiny compared to the fish and chips in the OTHER location for the same price and meal. I was really disappointed when I saw this. We did not get enough wings. There were only 4 wings for the 3 of us for EACH dish.
Overall, this is simply not the greatest restaurant I’ve experienced. Its other competitors were able to show a performance at least twenty times better than this one. Thanks, but I’d rather visit the Ahwatukee location from this time on.

Native hits a nostalgic spot for me. I grew up with this place as a child and it was my to-​go spot for sports games. I still believe it’s one of the better places to grab a beer while watching a high impact game (I.e. Phoenix Suns or AZ Cardinals). This is because the place is pretty much covered with flat panel TVs all along the walls. No matter where you are sitting, it would be impossible to not have a great view of the TV screen.
The famous wings are 45 cents on Sundays (recommend: spicy honey mustard) and the Fish and Chips entrée is quite delicious. You can get Coronas for $ 3.50 and a 22oz Budlight for $ 3.50. While the food is not memorable, for the value and a sports bar, it’s decent.
Come here if you’re looking for a local sports bar to watch a game. It will be a good time and the place is bound to be packed with Phoenix spirit!
