I come here on Tuesdays for the wings special. Thay have really great wings, and a pretty good selection of beer. Lots of TVs too. The only reason I wouldn't rate 5 stars is because often the service isn't the best. I wouldn't say they have bad service, and probably often times it's because the restaurant is busy, but I'm just not overly impressed, especially when sitting outside on the patio. Takes forever to get a server out there. The decor and atmosphere are cool and they always play sports on the TVs, which is cool. I love Native, and I'll keep going there as long as they have great wings at a good price!

Prices are good, beer selection is top notch, love the wings and the Happy Hour/ lunch specials. Easily the best American restaurant in the area.

Out of all the Natives's I have been to this is my favorite one by far. The service had not always been consistent, but it is on the rise as our server Rocky was on point to make sure our group was well taken are of. The lounge side has a great family atmosphere with plenty of TV's which makes any seat a great seat. My parents took our kids home so the Mrs. & I could take advantage of their reverse happy hour where all beer, liquor & shots are half off. BEST DEAL IN TOWN! All in all we had a great experience at this Native.

One of the close spots that I would consider myself becoming a regular due to the connivence of their location for me and I'm happy to return! Service is always extremely friendly and helpful, fast and always right! They always know the happy hour specials and other menu ideas when I'm feeling indecisive. Great place and great food! There is a family dining area, bar and an outside patio with a flat screen and entertainment.

Wings are killer! Happy hour with local craft beer is great. The rest if the food is sub par.

Wings and garbage pizza are solid but the Italian sandwich is not good. I have ordered it a few times and disappointed each time.

Mary J.
Got off to a rocky start, but they recovered okay. The Greek salad I ordered was very good. The place could use some comfort designer as it was certainly dated and not a nice looking place at all. More like something out of the sixties with table in the center and booths surrounding the tables and all in dark brown colors and dark carpet. They had a poker room, which I found interesting, not that I play poker. I'd give this place one more try to get it back up in the rankings.

This is a great place to watch the UFC fights, however their service and wait time on food is not as good. They got some delicious wings.

They really have the best wings. Hands down the best wings I should say, there flavors are the best, the wings have a good amount of meat on them unlike other wing places. They have friendly staff that are helpful.

Waiter was nice trying hard to keep up. Made our order of wings and salad but requested salads to come out 1st. Never happened, everything came out the same time. So by the time we got to the wings they were cold. Female manager walks by asks if everything was ok?? Never had the time to say yes or no. She didn't care. BUT when the male manager walks by he stops, looks you in the eye to ask if everything is ok. But 1st he asks you how your day is. He cares. So lady manager just keep a walking cause you won't make it.

For my first trip it was meh.. I felt the staff was worried more about the end of their shifts then actually working.. I waited for my beer when only four customers are seated at the bar... slightly annoying but things happen, a woman brought me my drink as it sat. I ordered the potato chips they were cold and soggy not what I was hoping for. The burger was excellent and everyone has bad nights. I would give them another shot in hopes of the service being better. The bar seems like it has potential.

We walked in and were greeted right away. However it took our waitress forever to come to actually take our order. Our drink order arrived wrong, but our waitress quickly fixed it. The food was okay I had the wing sampler the ranch dressing was a little sketchy had some kind of film on it. We also had the fish I would not recommend it it's smelled fishy and didn't taste that great was over fried and greasy.

There is no way to describe how pleased I am with this establishment, I have been driving past this place for 3 weeks BIG MISTAKE!!!! The food and cold....cold.....did I say cold drinks are fantastic, my server / bar tender was Alexis and she went beyond the call of duty in my opinion, she explained my choices and gave me options which was very good. Last but not least Chris the manager was the epitome of what a manager should be....he told me welcome home. It would be a big mistake to pass this place up...Yelp only allows 5 stars, but in my scale I will add another 5......10 star establishment.

Ah, Native New Yorker, how I miss you! We don't have these in Spokane, WA (yet!) so I make it a point to stop by whenever I visit my friends in Phoenix. I know, I know - it is now Native Grill and Wings. Except we die hard fans will always remember the New Yorker. The Native location I have visited the most is on Mesa Drive and Brown, with Gilbert Rd and the 60 being a close second, so I will focus on those. I prefer the restaurant on Brown and the bar on Gilbert. For a dining experience, the Native is great for bar food: I have always loved their wings above all other wings I have tried. When they are on, they are the best. Another favorite of mine is the Garbage Pizza, which is aptly named, since it has a little bit of everything on it (including banana peppers!). The first time I tried it I was skeptical, but it is one of my favorite menu items. The homemade potato chips are also a great alternative to French fries. As for the bar, I love the Gilbert location, because the bar is huge. There are one top tables and 8 seaters, and everything in between. The draft beers are cold, the wings are hot, and (last I knew) Friday and Saturday nights feature some great karaoke. If you love wings and have somehow not been to the Native, do yourself a favor and drop by, on a Tuesday if you can arrange it. That is the day they have their best wing special. If this restaurant ever opens a Spokane location, I will become a regular patron almost immediately. Until then, I will have my cherished memories.

We came here because we wanted to try the Strawberry Hot wings specifically. Our server was awesome. She was friendly, attentive, and even encouraged me to download the restaurant app to get a free order of wings! We ordered the Strawberry Hot and Honey Hot wings. Bone in of course! The Strawberry Hot wings were ok, not very hot at all though in my opinion. The taste reminded me of wings that someone poured jam onto. Next time I'm going to try a different flavor, like the Spicy Honey Mustard.

Love the new loyalty program that comes with a free six wing order and $10 off every 100 points! There are a ton of wing sauces and rubs to choose from as well as a full menu with pizza and sandwiches. Almost every day of the week there is something on special- not to mention a great happy hour! I'm a big craft beer drinker and there is always something good to choose from without having to settle. The service is quick and the roomie patio offers a great place for smokers.

If you get the wrong wings don't bother in asking for the correct ones. We ordered honey bbq and they came out honey hot. We told our server, kindly, that they were wrong and less than 5 min later we received what we were told were honey bbq. What they really did was excessively coat the honey hot with bbq sauce. Like my mouth wouldn't know the difference....hello --on fire. (Sorry I don't have much tolerance for hot...) the server did his best, I blame management for thinking they could pass them off. We didn't complain because we didn't want to be more of a pain. We'll come back, but needless to say this visit didn't fill our appetites. Everyone has a bad day, we get it...

Used to be a favorite of mine but things have been going to he'll. 20 minutes in between beers, apps out same time as food, and order was wrong. I feel like the bar area should be better staffed to avoid the slow service and order errors. The one redeeming quality is the amazing prices on beer.

This locations owner reached out to me after I posted a negative review of their location. They informed me about the changes they were making to the system so that customers will be served in a timely fashion. Today I ordered my usual take out order and there was definitely a huge difference from my previous visits. I wasn't in the door two minutes before being approached, my food was ready to go, and the manager waiting on me was very prompt and courteous. I am very happy to see that the people of Native on Brown and Mesa Drive are making an effort to provide better customer service. This is my location that I usually go to because it's only about a mile from my shop. I look forward to going back in the future. Thank you guys so much for listening and making my experience better!

I haven't been here in years but due to the fact that the Natives near me have declined considerably, I gave it another try. Impressed is an understatement! By far one of the cleanest places I have seen. The staff are so friendly and happy. You can tell they love their jobs. Alexis in the bar is one you must visit. She was on point on every drink I tried, and I tried every cereal shooter they have amongst other things. I'm coming back tonight to try trivia. Also if the bar isn't your thing might I recommend you ask for Lexi. She made my first visit back enjoyable and never waited for refills. A shout out to the management team for a well ran restaurant!!!

I ate lunch here with my mom after leaving a Cubs game early. Although the staff was a little slow (the looked understaffed) the drinks and food were delicious. They had tons of happy hour deals and drink specials depending on the day of the week. I got to try there homemade potato chips for free thanks to checking-in with Yelp and all the food we split was fantastic. I wish I was vacationing because my mother and I agreed we would be regulars at a place like this.

The Native New Yorker turned out to be the pitch perfect place for our after theater party and karaoke on Friday night, November 15th. Having spoken to the manager, Jenny, in advance, we were able to reserve the semi-private dining area for our group. Jenny and her staff did an outstanding job setting up the space and then serving our needs with genuine smiles and professional efficiency. Many in our group had dinner and the wide selection of appetizers and entrees gave us lots of options so everyone was able to get what they wanted and in the price range that worked for them. While I didn't eat, my friend Robin enjoyed her chicken, bacon and ranch flat bread. Robin's husband mostly enjoyed the wide selection of draft beer. It was one of the guy's birthday and the ice cream sundae his wife got him was big and delicious! What a great spot for casual dining and drinks and a really fun time!! And they comped my diet coke - apparently a common occurrence for DDs. **co-written with award-winning playwright Robin Kramme.

Outstanding service! Our group arrived late around 11:15pm with a baby in tow. Loud karaoke was happening, smokers were outside, and, due to a slow night, half the space was closed down. They generously did place our group in the back room. Our group had an assortment of burgers, while I had the chicken stripper plate with ancho chile lime rub. The meal was just ok, being standard bar fare. They win on service, but are only ok in the food department.

I don't ever really come here to eat I usually come just to have a few beers , I've had the wings from other locations and I've had the wings from this location... They're not mind blowing or anything...just reg ol'wings...Tonight I asked for recommendations from my server who was I believe the manager, I believe I chose his third or fourth recommendation which was a chicken Philly. the Philly was very dry, didn't have enough peppers and onions, and was very small in portion size for the price. It's sad to say but I actually enjoyed the French fries that came with the meal better than the actual meal . Also ordered some mozzarella sticks nothing special there just regular ol' mozzarella sticks. I'm just going to go back to attending this chain of restaurants for their happy hour drinks. Jason and DJ are definitely two of the best employees I've had the pleasure of being attended to by them.

We've lived in this neighborhood for close to a decade and have come here off and on even longer than that. In the past they suffered from poor waitresses and the one or two good ones only stayed for a month or two. Now that we have kids we almost never dine in. We opt for the take out option so as not to annoy everyone with our roudy kids. So I really don't know if their waitresses have improved but their food and the ambiance of the place certainly have. The one thing that kept us coming back is my wife's love of potato skins and Long Wong's lack thereof. In the past 6 months the wings at Native have become so good I think they're even better than LW's. Another complaint I've always had with this place was they had a parking spot clearly labeled for to go only. However, there was always a car parked in it and I was the only one getting a to go order. I kept asking why they didn't enforce the sign and several times I was told employees, specifically the manager, parked there. That was very upsetting to me. Still the draw of potato skins forced me to come back. Recently they have painted over the sign so it no longer says it's to go parking only. Now there is no to go parking which is slightly less frustrating than to go parking used by management as their own personal parking space. One other thing, they are normally pretty stingy with the ranch. When we used to dine in we had the manager tell the waitress to tell us they would charge $1 a ranch for more than 2 one ounce cups for our 2 dozen wings and potato skins. We weren't very happy but I think we caught him on a bad day as that was the only time they threatened that. Now I just check the bag before I leave and make sure they gave me enough even if they charge me more. After asking on the phone then again in person they're pretty quick to give me some ranch. I really wanted to give this place 4 or even 5 stars but the lack of to go parking and the stinginess on the ranch bring it down to a 3 for me. If those things don't bother you or if your wife is addicted to potato skins as mine is I completely recommend this place.

Wanted to take a pic, but I ate everything. Only complaint - they dust their wings & I forgot to ask for naked. Redeeming point is that they are priced right & don't care how many flavors you order. For a wing swinger like me, I'm thrilled. This is too much to pass up. Leann is a wing slinger extraordinaire. They allowed every combo I could throw at them. Pushing the envelope to a fifth star. Go for it - get all wing crazy.

Ever since they renovated the restaurant this has become a great place to go. They opened the whole place up and added a bunch of flat screen TVs, really well done. The food is always good and the service has become better and better, especially when the bartender DJ is around. Great place! I noticed that it says that they don't have outdoor seating, but they do now.

Native New Yorker has never disappointed however the only thing I've ever eaten there are the wings, oh and the fries. I proceed to slather everything in ranch and enjoy the mess I've created. I think the hot wings are great, although the mild is pretty unappetizing and flavorless but who goes for hot wings and gets mild...well besides kids? :) The mild wings are made with wheat flour, so anyone with gluten allergies beware. However, all the other wings- medium through death (or whatever fun name they give it) aren't. I like it, it's cheap, fast and yummy.

After my prior review the GM of this location reached out to me expressing his concerns regarding my visit and offered for me to come back in with a Gift-card on the house. I was happy to see that he was not making excuses and simply apologizing, he did both; however, he mainly focused on his care for a customer's experience. From working in the hospitality industry in the past, I follow the same beliefs in that it is important to show care and concern, not simply make excuses and turn your head. I went back this past weekend and received excellent service (the service I remembered in the past). I was sure to not mention who I was until it came time to get the bill, as I didn't want to receive special treatment and leave a biased review. I now know that my prior bad experience was a one-off for this location, and when it came time to pay and I explained the situation, the manager we saw on the prior visit said hello and made her rounds. Unfortunately the GM that followed up prior was off that evening, but I definitely plan to be back again. PS - regarding the food. The wings were crispy and tasty, the burger was perfect, and the beer was ice cold :-)

The food wasn't the best I've ever had, but the service was. Our server, Nadya, took care of us. Our drinks were filled before we had to ask, she interacted with our kids, our order was correct & the food came out fast & hot. We will definitely be back to this location.

I ate outside the box and did not get the wings! We had the tidbit platter with fried everything and it all pretty much tasted the same no flavor. Unless you dipped in a sauce. I also ordered the burger and it looked disgusting! Why was my burger grey? What the hell is that about? I ordered med well and this did not look anything like beef gross! I sent it back and nibbled on my dates fish which was OK nothing to write home about. All and All it was a big disappointment, I wont be back. Date said wings were good I'll take his word for it.

It was one of the guy's birthday and the ice cream sundae his wife got him was big and delicious! What a great spot for casual dining and drinks and a really fun time!! And they comped my diet coke - apparently a common occurrence for DDs. **co-written with award-winning playwright Robin Kramme.

Outstanding service! Our group arrived late around 11:15pm with a baby in tow. Loud karaoke was happening, smokers were outside, and, due to a slow night, half the space was closed down. They generously did place our group in the back room. Our group had an assortment of burgers, while I had the chicken stripper plate with ancho chile lime rub. The meal was just ok, being standard bar fare. They win on service, but are only ok in the food department.

I don't ever really come here to eat I usually come just to have a few beers , I've had the wings from other locations and I've had the wings from this location... They're not mind blowing or anything...just reg ol'wings...Tonight I asked for recommendations from my server who was I believe the manager, I believe I chose his third or fourth recommendation which was a chicken Philly. the Philly was very dry, didn't have enough peppers and onions, and was very small in portion size for the price. It's sad to say but I actually enjoyed the French fries that came with the meal better than the actual meal . Also ordered some mozzarella sticks nothing special there just regular ol' mozzarella sticks. I'm just going to go back to attending this chain of restaurants for their happy hour drinks. Jason and DJ are definitely two of the best employees I've had the pleasure of being attended to by them.

We've lived in this neighborhood for close to a decade and have come here off and on even longer than that. In the past they suffered from poor waitresses and the one or two good ones only stayed for a month or two. Now that we have kids we almost never dine in. We opt for the take out option so as not to annoy everyone with our roudy kids. So I really don't know if their waitresses have improved but their food and the ambiance of the place certainly have. The one thing that kept us coming back is my wife's love of potato skins and Long Wong's lack thereof. In the past 6 months the wings at Native have become so good I think they're even better than LW's. Another complaint I've always had with this place was they had a parking spot clearly labeled for to go only. However, there was always a car parked in it and I was the only one getting a to go order. I kept asking why they didn't enforce the sign and several times I was told employees, specifically the manager, parked there. That was very upsetting to me. Still the draw of potato skins forced me to come back. Recently they have painted over the sign so it no longer says it's to go parking only. Now there is no to go parking which is slightly less frustrating than to go parking used by management as their own personal parking space. One other thing, they are normally pretty stingy with the ranch. When we used to dine in we had the manager tell the waitress to tell us they would charge $1 a ranch for more than 2 one ounce cups for our 2 dozen wings and potato skins. We weren't very happy but I think we caught him on a bad day as that was the only time they threatened that. Now I just check the bag before I leave and make sure they gave me enough even if they charge me more. After asking on the phone then again in person they're pretty quick to give me some ranch. I really wanted to give this place 4 or even 5 stars but the lack of to go parking and the stinginess on the ranch bring it down to a 3 for me. If those things don't bother you or if your wife is addicted to potato skins as mine is I completely recommend this place.

Wanted to take a pic, but I ate everything. Only complaint - they dust their wings & I forgot to ask for naked. Redeeming point is that they are priced right & don't care how many flavors you order. For a wing swinger like me, I'm thrilled. This is too much to pass up. Leann is a wing slinger extraordinaire. They allowed every combo I could throw at them. Pushing the envelope to a fifth star. Go for it - get all wing crazy.

Ever since they renovated the restaurant this has become a great place to go. They opened the whole place up and added a bunch of flat screen TVs, really well done. The food is always good and the service has become better and better, especially when the bartender DJ is around. Great place! I noticed that it says that they don't have outdoor seating, but they do now.

Native New Yorker has never disappointed however the only thing I've ever eaten there are the wings, oh and the fries. I proceed to slather everything in ranch and enjoy the mess I've created. I think the hot wings are great, although the mild is pretty unappetizing and flavorless but who goes for hot wings and gets mild...well besides kids? :) The mild wings are made with wheat flour, so anyone with gluten allergies beware. However, all the other wings- medium through death (or whatever fun name they give it) aren't. I like it, it's cheap, fast and yummy.

After my prior review the GM of this location reached out to me expressing his concerns regarding my visit and offered for me to come back in with a Gift-card on the house. I was happy to see that he was not making excuses and simply apologizing, he did both; however, he mainly focused on his care for a customer's experience. From working in the hospitality industry in the past, I follow the same beliefs in that it is important to show care and concern, not simply make excuses and turn your head. I went back this past weekend and received excellent service (the service I remembered in the past). I was sure to not mention who I was until it came time to get the bill, as I didn't want to receive special treatment and leave a biased review. I now know that my prior bad experience was a one-off for this location, and when it came time to pay and I explained the situation, the manager we saw on the prior visit said hello and made her rounds. Unfortunately the GM that followed up prior was off that evening, but I definitely plan to be back again. PS - regarding the food. The wings were crispy and tasty, the burger was perfect, and the beer was ice cold :-)

The food wasn't the best I've ever had, but the service was. Our server, Nadya, took care of us. Our drinks were filled before we had to ask, she interacted with our kids, our order was correct & the food came out fast & hot. We will definitely be back to this location.

We always come to this place for some good wings:) This place seems more family oriented than that one in Tempe, probably because the bar is separated from the dining area.. Waitresses are nice and attentive.

I love that you can order one wing at a time so you can try all the flavors. Also the waitstaff was incredibly friendly (in a normal, natural way.) My visit made me very happy.

I ate outside the box and did not get the wings! We had the tidbit platter with fried everything and it all pretty much tasted the same no flavor. Unless you dipped in a sauce. I also ordered the burger and it looked disgusting! Why was my burger grey? What the hell is that about? I ordered med well and this did not look anything like beef gross! I sent it back and nibbled on my dates fish which was OK nothing to write home about. All and All it was a big disappointment, I wont be back. Date said wings were good I'll take his word for it.
