Great wings and good service. Me likes!

I have tried this location 3 times to make sure they got a fair shake. The food here is terrible and the quality is a shade of what Native used to be able to offer. If you want good wings you will have to drive out of Santan Valley. Try Wingstop or ATL and you will be much happier. This Native really seems to have poor quality and a lack of management.

Typical bar food except it's not very good.
(2)Seth D.
Wasn't great service, food was mediocre, and the Calzone/Wings I had weren't amazing! Didn't accommodate my grandfather who is in a walker and the waitress was very rude about our situation. Wouldn't recommend eating here.
(2)Jennifer N.
worst experience ever!!!! We waited 30 plus minutes for our food, the waitress "kept checking", when the food finally came, my burger was over cooked and dry. I said something and she said do you want me to put your order in again? I said no I'm not waiting another half hour for food. She said she told the manager (which I did see) the manager never once came to the table to apologize, did not offer to take anything off the bill. She just handed us the bill and I said your not even going to offer to take care of my burger? She said she's sorry, went to the manager again and then gave us the check with no discount. When I left I told the hostess what happened and she said, yeah management sucks here, that's why I put my two weeks in. If the franchise owner cares about this business at all you need to fire the skinny blond lady that is so called "manager"!!!

As an actual upstate Native New Yorker I love this place, we have previously been going to the one in Mesa so were excited when this one opened closer to us. Our service was excellent, our waitress Nicole was super attentive and very sweet! We went on a saturday night, had no wait for a booth, ordered wings & pizza which were excellent and delivered promptly. I have read the negative comments so we waited awhile to visit, as I believe it usually takes some time for a resturant to get things right and I feel this location has accomplished that!

I really wish this business would step up their game. Each time I've ordered wings here I am even more unsatisfied with my purchase. With such a simple menu, I'd expect this place to have awesome wings and when my recent 9/11/15 order of wings to go came to me soggy rather than extra crispy, (I live less than 5 min away) I decided to forgo my wings and eat salad instead. Just because your the only Native in Queen Creek doesn't mean your business will remain steady. Competition is arising and now would be the time to take servicing the customers seriously. People expect to enjoy the food that is paid for.
(1)Steve S.
Another great lunch. Had the Asian Garlic wings. Mmmmm. Once again great service from Christina C.

Native is lucky to even get one star, they hire rude snot nosed kids for their staff.
(1)Sadie L.
I wish I could update this review to reflect more stars, but there's just no way. The staff is beyond horrible, doing the least they can possibly get away with. I don't know how it's always so busy.
(1)Allyson G.
Service was so so. Our waitress was very friendly but had a hard time keeping up with our table, for only having 5 tables sat in the restaurant. To her benefit, we had a group of nine but it was a pretty simple order. They have amazing wings and it's a great place to come out and watch a game or enjoy happy hour. We will be back, especially for their honey BBQ wings.
(3)Eric C.
I guess Im lucky? We live near NNY so we eat there a few times a month. First off they now have sweet tea, thank you. The pizza is above average and they will bring you several different wing sauces if you ask. Josh was our waiter last time and he was amazing. I will be asking for him when I return. Can't complain, it's been good.
(4)Dave G.
Went last night about 9 pm. Got seated in the bar, and I was planning on trying an Atlantic Breeze drink to start. I was thinking wings too. After 10 minutes and no visit by the waitress I assumed they werent interested in making money on a saturday. It wasn't busy, I could see the servers and hostess chatting , the the bartender chatting with some other servers. Got up and left. I'm sure I'll go again though, I do love their wings.
(1)alex u.
Pretty boring inside and out, looks like a doctors office. The food is ok but every time I go it takes forever to come out. The wings are very small but good. Go here if you're into paying regular price for very small wings that look like they came from a bat or a bird not a chicken.
(2)Dalton G.
SLOW!! waited almost 45 min for my to go order. I was told it would only take 10-15 min.
(3)Hana P.
We've gone here twice. Overall the food is good, they make a mean Long Island!! Both times we had great servers. The first time we went, the place was pretty empty. Our server came over quickly, kept our drinks filled and was very friendly. The second time we went on 35 cent wing night - much busier!! Our server made sure to check in frequently and gave us updates on the food. She was very friendly and it was a great experience for a busy night. Is this the best bar food ever? No, but for a chain place, it was worth checking out!
(4)Kal W.
Absolute worst customer service && so poorly managed. Somebody who knows what they are doing needs to come In and clean house!!!
(1)Jessica K.
I dont know why this place is packed every night, but it is. Not a fan of their wings. Always too long of a wait for what its worth. Two stars because its close to home.
(2)Paul R.
Was pretty excited to have NYY near me but this one something just didn't feel right. The staff is hit and miss and that's why it gets 3 stars. There is some bartenders/servers that care and wanna do a good job, but the place has plenty of others that give it a bad wrap. This is store specific because I have eaten at other stores and this is one of the worst. I will continue to eat at this place because the food is good and the location. It's just the service is coin flip of good and bad. I haven't had any horrible encounters that pop out, but I also don't have any "wow, this place is awesome let's close this joint down" type encounters. Food is a 4 and the service is so wishy washy that I can't leave any higher than a 3. Try it out for your own sake, but you could end up with one of the few servers that put forth he effort. Enjoy

Me and my wife love this place we always get good service everybody knows us talks to us its nice I like the environment food is delicious 5 stars
(5)Jennifer C.
Food isn't great.... We live across the street and we hardly ever eat here. I'd recommend uncle bears for bar food and atmosphere over this place.
(2)Michael S.
Decided to take my wife and family out to one of the newest restaurants in San Tan Valley. We were seating fairly quickly, and our waiter came and took our drink order. When he returned with our drinks he took our food order, which included so appetizers as well. Both appetizers, potato skins and load steak fries, were still cold in the middle and the cheese on top did not even melt. Tried to send them back, the returned food was now burnt and way too crispy. My wife's patty melt came out wrong and burnt as well, she sent it back and the returned one was acceptable. My wings were okay, but way too greasy for my liking. The worst part of the evening is when the manager came to check on us and ask us everything was. My wife responded "not very good", and the manager said "well that's good" and walked away. Will definitely not be returning.
(2)David C.
Have been back on many occasions now and they have really turned things around. Service is great, the staff really makes you feel welcome. Food is delicious, I highly recommend the buffalo nachos appetizer. As stated above, they have really turned things around.

First time coming here and took an hour to get a burger on a weekday and after the first bite I find a long black hair cooked into the burger meat!

I so, so....SO wanted to like this place. I literally live 4 miles down the road and it's pretty much the only place in the area with a decent bar. I also love supporting local businesses and want to see them thrive. But alas, that hasn't been the case. Now, I can't blame the entire chain because I've been to other locations albeit going back a few years and I have friends that rave about their local store, so I can only guess it's the roll of the dice when you franchise, even at a local level. To be fair, we've eaten at this location probably 5-6 times since it's been open, and while not every experience has been notably bad, none has stood out as a reason to return. That decision has been solely based on the fact that it's five minutes from my door. The biggest issue has definitely been the food. Several instances of receiving dishes hot on the outside and not-completely-thawed on the inside indicate that much of the menu is frozen and microwaved.....a common practice of casual dining I'm aware, but jeez, if you're gonna go that route, at least ensure that the food is heated properly. The wings, as has been mentioned is previous reviews are terrible. Flavorless, greasy, and fatty. BWW (the giant chain that it is) absolutely owns them on wings. Having hailed from a close proximity of NYC, I can attest that the pizza is not native of anywhere near there. :( Service, at least after the typical awkward period when a new place opens in this bar/restaurant-starved area, has been admittedly pretty good, especially from the bartenders. But that leads us to my final gripe, and what I feel would've been an easy way to redeem the shortcomings of the dining, the bar. The bar itself is simply too small and it's difficult to get a seat there, much less for two or more people. The surrounding bar area would typically handle this overflow, but they tend to just use it as regular seating when busy. I'm sorry, but when it's after 9 on a weekend night I don't expect to encounter screaming children in the bar area. If I wanted that I'd go to McDonald's. I've actually seen children AT the bar a few times when there was empty tables on the restaurant side......seriously?? In addition, the entire bar area is way too bright and could definitely benefit from a dimmer. I don't want to feel like I'm in a jewelry store when I go to a pub. Lastly, in this age of craft beer renaissance, their tap selection is pretty pathetic, featuring (iirc) only one decent selection among a bunch of redundant mediocrity. I do still have hope that perhaps it will improve, but sadly, it will likely take competition to make it happen since an ongoing history of negative reviews hasn't seemed to help....and in this area, it could take another five years till something else opens. For now, two stars for closeness and decent service.

Gargle. Ahem. "This place was terrrrrriiiibbbbblllleeee." I have to completely agree with the other reviewers that myself and my family were severely disappointed with the food, price, and service* at this establishment. My son has been begging me to try this place so we decided to grab some lunch there today, around noon. Native New Yorker was actually pretty empty for a Saturday at lunch time and since it's still a fairly new restaurant that surprised me. After we were seated we got our drinks and menu's accordingly and started to browse. Our waitress was attentive and very friendly so that started things off right and put us at ease. When it came time for us to order is when everything started to go horribly, horribly wrong. My son ordered the build your own calzone, I was trying to order the pot pie. And the waitress had this uneasy look on her face and she said "Are you sure that's what you want?" "Are you REALLY sure?" I said "Is there something you want to tell me?" So, she proceeds to tell me that the pot pie isn't made fresh and she really encouraged me to change my mind. Than my husband tried to order the full rack of ribs and the waitress flat out said he couldn't have it. The new menu's apparently haven't arrived yet and it's technically no longer on the menu. How hard would it be to strike it out? Or to let us know it's not available as you're giving us our menus? Not very. After that disappointment and awkwardness we had to take another five minutes to look over the menu. I ended up ordering the native stripper platter which is chicken strippers with your choice of flavor ( I chose suicide and honey bbq) with coleslaw and steak fries. My son was able to keep his calzone order and my husband ordered a personal pizza with sausage, bacon and pepperoni. We also opted to order an appetizer, the chicken bacon ranch flat bread. To their credit we all enjoyed the app it was a little over board on the cheese but good. For six dollars we each had three decent sized slices. We didn't have to wait long on our food and it all LOOKED good, honestly we couldn't wait to eat it. My son didn't like his calzone because it was too doughy for him. I tasted it and it was cooked through completely but there was definitely more bread than innards. And, when I say the ratio was off-it was off...my steak fries were not well seasoned and just lifeless on my plate. My suicide strippers were not hot and my chicken was rubbery. Overall, my plate was overcooked and just very bland. My husband's pizza was so greasy he had to blot it and the crust was mushy and he had one and half pieces and just slid it away from him. At the end of the meal our waitress brought us boxes and she seemed to intentionally overlook the fact that our plates were still full. Than came the bill...after tip it was a whopping $50 ....the only thing we got worth eating was about $6 so...we won't be going back. The only reason I'm giving this place two stars is because they had TV's everywhere all playing different sports which was awesome. Also, the flat bread app was good... * The waitress was bummed out about everything that happened and it bummed us out.

Was here with the family last night, was very busy. Wings were good, salads were really good, burger and pizza were maybe a bit below average. Service was great given how busy it was. Its ok if you live in the area and don't feel like a drive for something better.
(3)DeAnna B.
My family & I went here last Mon. for my husband's birthday. One to try something new & different only because there are not many other family restaurants out here either. We started off with cheese sticks (6) & the plate of onion rings (10), it was ok. There menu claims to be serving food made "Fresh & daily". So not true the fish & chips was out of the ice box as were the fries with a little seasoning to add flavor. The BBQ chicken strips were even worse than they smelled and served with a side of coleslaw and fries. The club salad wasn't anything spectacular either, a thin slice of cheese, lettuce, meat & three layers of bread along a side of fries. Finally, my sauteed mushroom hamburger, well done. Everyone else was served food & I had to wait another 6 min. only because I asked for a "well done" burger so this takes more time to cook than anything else that we ordered and was supposed to be prepared Fresh, I don't think so. Again this food was out of the ice box & had NO seasoning what so ever on the burger or mushrooms. So dissatisfied with this place would not ever recommend this place nor would I take my family back there to eat, Blah, blah food. Just because the place is "New" doesn't mean the food will taste delicious. So over rated and so ashamed to even say I've eaten there but that was the one & only time I will have tried the Native New Yorker. Half a star only because the atmosphere is New.
(1)Paul S.
If you're a fan of blue cheese, be sure to ask for ranch (and vice versa). They will do their best to deliver the wrong sauce...every time! This place is always busy but that isn't a reflection of the food but rather the desperate stomachs of San Tan Valley. Service is slow/poor and management seems unconcerned and detached. When/if more casual dining options pop up in the area, this place will be a ghost town unless they start focusing on better service and quality.
(1)Alex N.
We ate at Native last Tuesday because of their wing special. We walked out without having to pay for the bill. My wife and kids meals where over cooked and that made the chicken like rubber. My chicken still had feathers attached. Sick!!!!!
(1)Amy M.
My husband and I finally decided to try this place yesterday. We will never go back. The food was not good. My husband's calzone was tasteless and too much bread and not enough fillings. I ordered a burger and fries and the fries were undercooked and the burger very greasy. I felt ill the rest of the night. However, we did have good service and the beer was very cold, but still won't go back.
(2)Michael F.
I have never had a bad experience at this Native New Yorker. The food is always well prepared and the staff is friendly. I normally only eat the wings or strippers but my family eats other items on the menu and I've never seen anything over or under cooked. Maybe the other reviews were poor because this restaurant opened recently and were just getting into the swing of things. Well, they're fully operational now and got all the kinks worked out.
(5)Raena W.
we eat there a few times a month, average food but usually good service. wings are good.
(3)Tiffany H.
I've had a very good burger here but the fries were under cooked. The service on the other hand was horrible! It took a party of 3 (2 adults and a child) 25 mins of seated time before we even got water to our table. Asked my waiter for a 3rd set of silverware and never got it so I had to stop the manager as I saw her walking past the table with a few in her hand for one. Proceeded to tell her that we were not happy that it to over 20 mins to get water and we still did not have the appetizer and that I have a child that is starving and begging me for food as Im talking to her the appetizer hits the table. 2 mins later still talking to her and the food hits the table. All she told me was that they were having high turnover in staff and that it was very busy and if I would have sat in the bar area the better servers are in that area. UNBELIEVABLE!!! I should be able to sit anywhere in a restaurant and get good service!! Been to the STV location twice and same horrible service both times. My parents have also been there once and had the same complaint. Sorry manager that gave me a line of crap but I don't think its "busy" I think your waiters suck. Get better staff if you want to keep your regulars! Management brushes off complaints here and refuses to take responsibility! This location is much closer to my house but I would recommend the Power Rd & Chandler Heights location as far as service.
(2)Matt J.
Visited Native New Yorker yesterday with my buddy James. Enjoyed great wings, great Thursday specials, and had great service! Very nice layout with many televisions to keep us posted on all the games!
(5)Matthew M.
Great place and had awesome service. I'm not too sure about the layout but i think its laid out for more of a family restaurant and not for a local bar. I'm used to Native New Yorker separating the bar and the restaurant side, but the way they have it set up will get the job done. The one thing i was not a big fan of was the super small patio. There was only room for a couple tables.
(5)Dalton G.
SLOW!! waited almost 45 min for my to go order. I was told it would only take 10-15 min.

Well I have been to this native 3 times now first time was a few months after it opened and I heard alot of hype about it and the service and food was terrible, figured they where having a off day and gave them another shot and a huge fail. This 3rd time we went to Don Pedros and I heard alot of good things and I wanted to do taco tuesday, Don Pedros is a waste the wait the nasty salsa bar and the fact that they don't acknowledge you. I made a quick call asked if there was a wait at native and told the family we are trying them one more time, we where sat upon arrival, the waitress came and took our drink order shortyly after that she took our food order the apps came out quick and hot and not under or over cooked, main course came out and the burgers where hot and the wings where hot and perfect. Our waitress was very attentive to our needs and kept the drinks full and never empty, I have no problem being that asshole and whistling or walking behind the serving station to fill my drink, But spot on and we will return for another meal.
(3)Margie F.
Native New Yorker is known for its wings. The wings are strippers are excellent. I don't order fish at a steak house.
(5)Bill L.
This,is,one of the most disgusting restaurants I have ever eaten in! the noise Level and the.lighting is.like eating in WalMart. The Chicken wraps and Burgers are obviously filled with soy and cheap seasoning. my family And I,went home quite I'll after feeling like we had just been inflicted With a case of mild food poisoning. IF YOU WANT BAD FOOD AND BAD SERVICE THEN THIS IS THE PLACE FOR, YOU.it seemed Very dirty inside and quite unsanitary. THE BATHROOMS WERE disgusting. this is not a good sign. do not waste up money or time. you will be very disappointed.I will never return!
(1)Julia L.
Food is always great quality! Great sports bar. Service is always fantastic. Ashlee was great!
(4)Benjamin M.
Good service but the wings are so oily. We used 10 napkins to squeeze the oil out of these things. Maybe stand these things up and let them drain.
(3)alex u.
Pretty boring inside and out, looks like a doctors office. The food is ok but every time I go it takes forever to come out. The wings are very small but good. Go here if you're into paying regular price for very small wings that look like they came from a bat or a bird not a chicken.

Our server made sure to check in frequently and gave us updates on the food. She was very friendly and it was a great experience for a busy night. Is this the best bar food ever? No, but for a chain place, it was worth checking out!
(4)Gary C.
The wings were very good. The pizza is definitely different than any pizza I ever had. They had towelettes which were pretty cool. The only problem I have was the wait. Some people ordered after we did and they got their food first. It was a good 40 minute wait I had to go through.
(3)Tony S.
Love this place!! All the staff is real nice even though they are all busy (this place gets packed). They have great wing specials Mondays and Tuesdays. The wings are great!! The pizza is also great!
(5)Daniel G.
Have visited here three or four times. Great food every time. Busy and sometimes the staff gets overwhelmed because it's ONE OF THE ONLY PLACES IN SAN TAN VALLEY to grab a beer, game and great food. The staff does a great job.
(5)Johnny N.
Great wings place is always busy service is spotty mixed drinks always weak stick to beer..
(3)Richard S.
If I coukd give them less stars I would. Not only was the staff not not very friendly or Moving with urgency, it took forever for them to greet us after being sat. 3 separate people came to us after we had to request service, one girl claimed to be our waitress then never came back. Another gentleman saved the day or else we would have just walked out. We wanted to have the tip given to the guy thst actually served us instead of our "waitress", who could have been a busser. Never again will step foot in this building and really makes me want to avoid native all together. Hopefully they get their act together or they won't be in business much longer since they don't want to earn our money.
(1)Brenda S.
Nasty ! Just gave this Native one last try and again terrible food, 35$ for burnt cold food and poor service. Do yourself a favor and save your money and your stomach. Enough said
(1)Christa L.
Unfortunately I cannot give this location more than two stars. I have continued to visit because it's close to home and the drinks are great, but the food? Absolutely horrible. Each time, I have tried something different on the menu and each time I am disappointed. The two stars are for the drinks and the excellent service I have received every time I have visited. I just keep waiting for the food to catch up. :(
(2)Rich P.
Good prices, food is decent. The logo looks like a bootleg buffalo wildwings, but fuck it. Not there for the logo
(3)Amy L.
The service and food (wings, fried zucchini , and dinner salad) was good. It's a great option if you live in the area to watch NFL games.
(3)Tyler S.
I get a dozen honey-hot wings with extra ranch, and I'm usually gonna be a happy guy. They'll over-cook them maybe 3-4 times out of 10, but they tend to be worth the money. For that reason I'm giving the place 2 stars. If I ever get appetizers, or another meal, things get even more dicey. The problem with Native is, when the food is cooked well, it's great. It's just never cooked well. The potato skins are fantastic, unless they're dry and burnt. The fries are great, unless they're undercooked. The wings (bone-in) are flawless, unless they're charred. The boneless wings are fine, unless they taste like a dirty oven. The waiters/waitresses are fine, but if you're getting take-out, check your food first, because they apparently don't. I've gotten home, only to realize one order is wrong and another is missing entirely. If you want to watch a game, and you're ok with gambling on food, this is a fine enough spot. They play every NFL game live, you might not be able to hear yours, but if you don't have Sunday Ticket, or you have an aversion to streaming, it's an option.
(2)Daniel S.
Native is your typical wing and bar restaurant. The food is average but the atmosphere is fun. TV's are plentiful and there is a different game on each one. Service is pretty quick and the staff is friendly. The menu is diverse and will have something to please everyone.
(3)Roy W.
Wings were pretty good, everything else was just OK. I'd be much happier with this place, however, if they showed the UFC events. I've asked several times (in person and over the phone) and each time was told they don't like the UFC and don't consider it a legitimate sport. Just about every other NATIVE in town does , as well as all their competitors. ...minus a couple of stars for that...
(2)Kerri S.
The DH and I find ourselves here almost every Saturday afternoon. We like to sit at the bar since we always have great conversations and incredible service from the bartender Ashley. She always knows our preferences and is quick to request a redo if the kitchen presents her with anything less than what she would be proud to serve. The managers are great and I cannot say we have ever had less wonderful experience while at a table with the family or at the bar top.
(5)Stephanie S.
We went on Friday night and the wait was 20 minutes, which is pretty typical for most places on a weekend. Our server was pleasant. The food is always okay, but just okay. I'm always a little disappointed. It's just not outstanding. I had the California Cluck. I could make something better (and probably faster) at home. They have made their portions smaller from the past and upped the prices. It's an okay place, but not one I ever crave or would choose to go to unless my only other option was McDonald's.
(3)Lonzo D.
Was here with my wife for lunch. Was seated and served very quickly. We both ordered the lunch special salad and wings. Salad was a joke. Lettuce with cheese and tomatoes. That's it. We had the chicken stripper which was deep fried chicken strips with sauce. Not very good. Waitress was good but I can't recommend this place.
(1)John W.
Service was good. Ordered call chicken sandwich .when I got the sandwich they forgot the avacado
(3)Kim V.
Burgers were great but the chicken strippers were tough and chewy. I would think that they would be better being a place known for their chicken wings. Not terribly impressed.
(3)Danny A.
It really, really bothers me when servers bring you your check before you ask for it. It happened twice in the same visit here today. This was before halftime of a football game that I was obviously watching. So, I'll pay my tab and go to another establishment that won't seem so anxious to rush me out of their doors. I can't say I'd ever be in too much of a hurry to come here again.
(1)Michael S.
Decided to take my wife and family out to one of the newest restaurants in San Tan Valley. We were seating fairly quickly, and our waiter came and took our drink order. When he returned with our drinks he took our food order, which included so appetizers as well. Both appetizers, potato skins and load steak fries, were still cold in the middle and the cheese on top did not even melt. Tried to send them back, the returned food was now burnt and way too crispy. My wife's patty melt came out wrong and burnt as well, she sent it back and the returned one was acceptable. My wings were okay, but way too greasy for my liking. The worst part of the evening is when the manager came to check on us and ask us everything was. My wife responded "not very good", and the manager said "well that's good" and walked away. Will definitely not be returning.

Have been back on many occasions now and they have really turned things around. Service is great, the staff really makes you feel welcome. Food is delicious, I highly recommend the buffalo nachos appetizer. As stated above, they have really turned things around.

First time coming here and took an hour to get a burger on a weekday and after the first bite I find a long black hair cooked into the burger meat!
(1)Seth D.
Wasn't great service, food was mediocre, and the Calzone/Wings I had weren't amazing! Didn't accommodate my grandfather who is in a walker and the waitress was very rude about our situation. Wouldn't recommend eating here.

worst experience ever!!!! We waited 30 plus minutes for our food, the waitress "kept checking", when the food finally came, my burger was over cooked and dry. I said something and she said do you want me to put your order in again? I said no I'm not waiting another half hour for food. She said she told the manager (which I did see) the manager never once came to the table to apologize, did not offer to take anything off the bill. She just handed us the bill and I said your not even going to offer to take care of my burger? She said she's sorry, went to the manager again and then gave us the check with no discount. When I left I told the hostess what happened and she said, yeah management sucks here, that's why I put my two weeks in. If the franchise owner cares about this business at all you need to fire the skinny blond lady that is so called "manager"!!!

Great wings and good service. Me likes!

I so, so....SO wanted to like this place. I literally live 4 miles down the road and it's pretty much the only place in the area with a decent bar. I also love supporting local businesses and want to see them thrive. But alas, that hasn't been the case. Now, I can't blame the entire chain because I've been to other locations albeit going back a few years and I have friends that rave about their local store, so I can only guess it's the roll of the dice when you franchise, even at a local level. To be fair, we've eaten at this location probably 5-6 times since it's been open, and while not every experience has been notably bad, none has stood out as a reason to return. That decision has been solely based on the fact that it's five minutes from my door. The biggest issue has definitely been the food. Several instances of receiving dishes hot on the outside and not-completely-thawed on the inside indicate that much of the menu is frozen and microwaved.....a common practice of casual dining I'm aware, but jeez, if you're gonna go that route, at least ensure that the food is heated properly. The wings, as has been mentioned is previous reviews are terrible. Flavorless, greasy, and fatty. BWW (the giant chain that it is) absolutely owns them on wings. Having hailed from a close proximity of NYC, I can attest that the pizza is not native of anywhere near there. :( Service, at least after the typical awkward period when a new place opens in this bar/restaurant-starved area, has been admittedly pretty good, especially from the bartenders. But that leads us to my final gripe, and what I feel would've been an easy way to redeem the shortcomings of the dining, the bar. The bar itself is simply too small and it's difficult to get a seat there, much less for two or more people. The surrounding bar area would typically handle this overflow, but they tend to just use it as regular seating when busy. I'm sorry, but when it's after 9 on a weekend night I don't expect to encounter screaming children in the bar area. If I wanted that I'd go to McDonald's. I've actually seen children AT the bar a few times when there was empty tables on the restaurant side......seriously?? In addition, the entire bar area is way too bright and could definitely benefit from a dimmer. I don't want to feel like I'm in a jewelry store when I go to a pub. Lastly, in this age of craft beer renaissance, their tap selection is pretty pathetic, featuring (iirc) only one decent selection among a bunch of redundant mediocrity. I do still have hope that perhaps it will improve, but sadly, it will likely take competition to make it happen since an ongoing history of negative reviews hasn't seemed to help....and in this area, it could take another five years till something else opens. For now, two stars for closeness and decent service.

I have tried this location 3 times to make sure they got a fair shake. The food here is terrible and the quality is a shade of what Native used to be able to offer. If you want good wings you will have to drive out of Santan Valley. Try Wingstop or ATL and you will be much happier. This Native really seems to have poor quality and a lack of management.
(1)Cole L.
Typical bar food except it's not very good.
(2)Sandi B.
Gargle. Ahem. "This place was terrrrrriiiibbbbblllleeee." I have to completely agree with the other reviewers that myself and my family were severely disappointed with the food, price, and service* at this establishment. My son has been begging me to try this place so we decided to grab some lunch there today, around noon. Native New Yorker was actually pretty empty for a Saturday at lunch time and since it's still a fairly new restaurant that surprised me. After we were seated we got our drinks and menu's accordingly and started to browse. Our waitress was attentive and very friendly so that started things off right and put us at ease. When it came time for us to order is when everything started to go horribly, horribly wrong. My son ordered the build your own calzone, I was trying to order the pot pie. And the waitress had this uneasy look on her face and she said "Are you sure that's what you want?" "Are you REALLY sure?" I said "Is there something you want to tell me?" So, she proceeds to tell me that the pot pie isn't made fresh and she really encouraged me to change my mind. Than my husband tried to order the full rack of ribs and the waitress flat out said he couldn't have it. The new menu's apparently haven't arrived yet and it's technically no longer on the menu. How hard would it be to strike it out? Or to let us know it's not available as you're giving us our menus? Not very. After that disappointment and awkwardness we had to take another five minutes to look over the menu. I ended up ordering the native stripper platter which is chicken strippers with your choice of flavor ( I chose suicide and honey bbq) with coleslaw and steak fries. My son was able to keep his calzone order and my husband ordered a personal pizza with sausage, bacon and pepperoni. We also opted to order an appetizer, the chicken bacon ranch flat bread. To their credit we all enjoyed the app it was a little over board on the cheese but good. For six dollars we each had three decent sized slices. We didn't have to wait long on our food and it all LOOKED good, honestly we couldn't wait to eat it. My son didn't like his calzone because it was too doughy for him. I tasted it and it was cooked through completely but there was definitely more bread than innards. And, when I say the ratio was off-it was off...my steak fries were not well seasoned and just lifeless on my plate. My suicide strippers were not hot and my chicken was rubbery. Overall, my plate was overcooked and just very bland. My husband's pizza was so greasy he had to blot it and the crust was mushy and he had one and half pieces and just slid it away from him. At the end of the meal our waitress brought us boxes and she seemed to intentionally overlook the fact that our plates were still full. Than came the bill...after tip it was a whopping $50 ....the only thing we got worth eating was about $6 so...we won't be going back. The only reason I'm giving this place two stars is because they had TV's everywhere all playing different sports which was awesome. Also, the flat bread app was good... * The waitress was bummed out about everything that happened and it bummed us out.

Was here with the family last night, was very busy. Wings were good, salads were really good, burger and pizza were maybe a bit below average. Service was great given how busy it was. Its ok if you live in the area and don't feel like a drive for something better.
(3)DeAnna B.
My family & I went here last Mon. for my husband's birthday. One to try something new & different only because there are not many other family restaurants out here either. We started off with cheese sticks (6) & the plate of onion rings (10), it was ok. There menu claims to be serving food made "Fresh & daily". So not true the fish & chips was out of the ice box as were the fries with a little seasoning to add flavor. The BBQ chicken strips were even worse than they smelled and served with a side of coleslaw and fries. The club salad wasn't anything spectacular either, a thin slice of cheese, lettuce, meat & three layers of bread along a side of fries. Finally, my sauteed mushroom hamburger, well done. Everyone else was served food & I had to wait another 6 min. only because I asked for a "well done" burger so this takes more time to cook than anything else that we ordered and was supposed to be prepared Fresh, I don't think so. Again this food was out of the ice box & had NO seasoning what so ever on the burger or mushrooms. So dissatisfied with this place would not ever recommend this place nor would I take my family back there to eat, Blah, blah food. Just because the place is "New" doesn't mean the food will taste delicious. So over rated and so ashamed to even say I've eaten there but that was the one & only time I will have tried the Native New Yorker. Half a star only because the atmosphere is New.
(1)Heather G.
As an actual upstate Native New Yorker I love this place, we have previously been going to the one in Mesa so were excited when this one opened closer to us. Our service was excellent, our waitress Nicole was super attentive and very sweet! We went on a saturday night, had no wait for a booth, ordered wings & pizza which were excellent and delivered promptly. I have read the negative comments so we waited awhile to visit, as I believe it usually takes some time for a resturant to get things right and I feel this location has accomplished that!
(5)Dave G.
Went last night about 9 pm. Got seated in the bar, and I was planning on trying an Atlantic Breeze drink to start. I was thinking wings too. After 10 minutes and no visit by the waitress I assumed they werent interested in making money on a saturday. It wasn't busy, I could see the servers and hostess chatting , the the bartender chatting with some other servers. Got up and left. I'm sure I'll go again though, I do love their wings.
(1)Eric C.
I guess Im lucky? We live near NNY so we eat there a few times a month. First off they now have sweet tea, thank you. The pizza is above average and they will bring you several different wing sauces if you ask. Josh was our waiter last time and he was amazing. I will be asking for him when I return. Can't complain, it's been good.
(4)Paul S.
If you're a fan of blue cheese, be sure to ask for ranch (and vice versa). They will do their best to deliver the wrong sauce...every time! This place is always busy but that isn't a reflection of the food but rather the desperate stomachs of San Tan Valley. Service is slow/poor and management seems unconcerned and detached. When/if more casual dining options pop up in the area, this place will be a ghost town unless they start focusing on better service and quality.
(1)Alex N.
We ate at Native last Tuesday because of their wing special. We walked out without having to pay for the bill. My wife and kids meals where over cooked and that made the chicken like rubber. My chicken still had feathers attached. Sick!!!!!
(1)Matt J.
Visited Native New Yorker yesterday with my buddy James. Enjoyed great wings, great Thursday specials, and had great service! Very nice layout with many televisions to keep us posted on all the games!
(5)Matthew M.
Great place and had awesome service. I'm not too sure about the layout but i think its laid out for more of a family restaurant and not for a local bar. I'm used to Native New Yorker separating the bar and the restaurant side, but the way they have it set up will get the job done. The one thing i was not a big fan of was the super small patio. There was only room for a couple tables.
(5)Amy M.
My husband and I finally decided to try this place yesterday. We will never go back. The food was not good. My husband's calzone was tasteless and too much bread and not enough fillings. I ordered a burger and fries and the fries were undercooked and the burger very greasy. I felt ill the rest of the night. However, we did have good service and the beer was very cold, but still won't go back.
(2)Michael F.
I have never had a bad experience at this Native New Yorker. The food is always well prepared and the staff is friendly. I normally only eat the wings or strippers but my family eats other items on the menu and I've never seen anything over or under cooked. Maybe the other reviews were poor because this restaurant opened recently and were just getting into the swing of things. Well, they're fully operational now and got all the kinks worked out.
(5)Raena W.
we eat there a few times a month, average food but usually good service. wings are good.
(3)Tiffany H.
I've had a very good burger here but the fries were under cooked. The service on the other hand was horrible! It took a party of 3 (2 adults and a child) 25 mins of seated time before we even got water to our table. Asked my waiter for a 3rd set of silverware and never got it so I had to stop the manager as I saw her walking past the table with a few in her hand for one. Proceeded to tell her that we were not happy that it to over 20 mins to get water and we still did not have the appetizer and that I have a child that is starving and begging me for food as Im talking to her the appetizer hits the table. 2 mins later still talking to her and the food hits the table. All she told me was that they were having high turnover in staff and that it was very busy and if I would have sat in the bar area the better servers are in that area. UNBELIEVABLE!!! I should be able to sit anywhere in a restaurant and get good service!! Been to the STV location twice and same horrible service both times. My parents have also been there once and had the same complaint. Sorry manager that gave me a line of crap but I don't think its "busy" I think your waiters suck. Get better staff if you want to keep your regulars! Management brushes off complaints here and refuses to take responsibility! This location is much closer to my house but I would recommend the Power Rd & Chandler Heights location as far as service.
(2)C Sebastian V.
First-timer here, with a co- worker. They have a good selection of salads, burgers, pizza, calzones, and a terrific selection of wings. We had attentive host and wait staff, but waited nearly an hour for a burger, salad and wings on a slow week night. I certainly don't mind waiting for good food, but it wasn't.
(2)Allyson G.
Service was so so. Our waitress was very friendly but had a hard time keeping up with our table, for only having 5 tables sat in the restaurant. To her benefit, we had a group of nine but it was a pretty simple order. They have amazing wings and it's a great place to come out and watch a game or enjoy happy hour. We will be back, especially for their honey BBQ wings.
(3)Elaine N.
I really wish this business would step up their game. Each time I've ordered wings here I am even more unsatisfied with my purchase. With such a simple menu, I'd expect this place to have awesome wings and when my recent 9/11/15 order of wings to go came to me soggy rather than extra crispy, (I live less than 5 min away) I decided to forgo my wings and eat salad instead. Just because your the only Native in Queen Creek doesn't mean your business will remain steady. Competition is arising and now would be the time to take servicing the customers seriously. People expect to enjoy the food that is paid for.

This was my second time back at this location and sadly to say it will be my last. Service was so poor! Our waitress came by to take our drink order 20 minutes later she arrives to then take our order. Food came out correct and hot but we were never serviced after the food was later down. She walked to the booth in front of us and the booth behind us several times! I counted up to six times to one table behind us before I just stopped keeping track. She wouldn't even acknowledge our table. Just turned and walked away. FINALLY, when we got our bill, is when we were asked if we wanted any refills( all consumed just ice in our glasses). As we looked over our bill we were overcharged. Now mind you it wasn't a lot but for me it was the principal. It was easier for her to overcharge us so she could enter it in easier in their computer system than to charge is correctly!!!! Seriously!!! Your lucky you got even one star! It was the only way they would let me post a review
(1)Tom B.
I love Natives wings. The reason this place gets 3 stars is due to service. It really needs to be stepped up. I took a party of 10 here for the Tuesday wing special. After waiting 45 minutes, we were told that they were sorry but they couldn't handle a party of that size. We had to drive 20 minutes to the next closest location in order to be served. I've been back to this location since this happened, and it's been somewhat better, but it still has room for improvement.
(3)Rodney C.
Customer service was AMAZING here!!!!!!! Our waitress, Ariana, was GREAT. Her personality and customer service was amazing. She treated my sister, fiancée, and I with 1000% respect. We need more people like her in the customer service industry. Brett was Awesome too. Every time we come here? He takes time to make sure we are COMPLETELY SATISFIED.
(5)Averie K.
The 1 star is for the food the 4 missing is for the crappy service! I love the wings but they shorted me 4 wings, the server checked on our table maybe 3x, I asked for water and she took the cup and didn't come back! My husband had to get up and got get a cup of water himself. We asked for our check and it took her 15 minutes to bring over and didn't come back for another 15 minutes, didn't even get a pen to sign the check. The entire time she seemed like she hated her job and was here just for a check. Horrible service.
(1)Caesar R.
Good wings great service very busy other food is also good as well beer is extra cold. Sitting is great host really helpful
(4)Alex T.
Went there 2 times we live a block from this place. The first time we went in we were there for 2 hours wings were cold and I never got my 2nd beer but waitress wanted to charge me for it. The 2nd time was much better but still not great maybe if we have a third try I will update it but I am not impressed for the prices the food kinda sux
(2)Jay T.
The service was good. The food came out pretty quick. I really love the wings, they were crunchy and the sauce that was on it didn't over power the chicken. The unsweetened mango tea was especially good and very refreshing!

Ordered 2 fish and shrimp platters to go. Both had limp fries, no lemon and no coleslaw. 2 pieces of fish and 5 small shrimp were tasting ok, however, totally overpriced at 12.99.

I get a dozen honey-hot wings with extra ranch, and I'm usually gonna be a happy guy. They'll over-cook them maybe 3-4 times out of 10, but they tend to be worth the money. For that reason I'm giving the place 2 stars. If I ever get appetizers, or another meal, things get even more dicey. The problem with Native is, when the food is cooked well, it's great. It's just never cooked well. The potato skins are fantastic, unless they're dry and burnt. The fries are great, unless they're undercooked. The wings (bone-in) are flawless, unless they're charred. The boneless wings are fine, unless they taste like a dirty oven. The waiters/waitresses are fine, but if you're getting take-out, check your food first, because they apparently don't. I've gotten home, only to realize one order is wrong and another is missing entirely. If you want to watch a game, and you're ok with gambling on food, this is a fine enough spot. They play every NFL game live, you might not be able to hear yours, but if you don't have Sunday Ticket, or you have an aversion to streaming, it's an option.
(2)Daniel S.
Native is your typical wing and bar restaurant. The food is average but the atmosphere is fun. TV's are plentiful and there is a different game on each one. Service is pretty quick and the staff is friendly. The menu is diverse and will have something to please everyone.
(3)Roy W.
Wings were pretty good, everything else was just OK. I'd be much happier with this place, however, if they showed the UFC events. I've asked several times (in person and over the phone) and each time was told they don't like the UFC and don't consider it a legitimate sport. Just about every other NATIVE in town does , as well as all their competitors. ...minus a couple of stars for that...
(2)Kerri S.
The DH and I find ourselves here almost every Saturday afternoon. We like to sit at the bar since we always have great conversations and incredible service from the bartender Ashley. She always knows our preferences and is quick to request a redo if the kitchen presents her with anything less than what she would be proud to serve. The managers are great and I cannot say we have ever had less wonderful experience while at a table with the family or at the bar top.
(5)Chris C.
Food was cold (wings) chicken Parmesan tasted like the chicken was leftover from 3 or 4 days ago. We eat here a lot but not anymore it gets worse every time. Slow service and cold food

Well I have been to this native 3 times now first time was a few months after it opened and I heard alot of hype about it and the service and food was terrible, figured they where having a off day and gave them another shot and a huge fail. This 3rd time we went to Don Pedros and I heard alot of good things and I wanted to do taco tuesday, Don Pedros is a waste the wait the nasty salsa bar and the fact that they don't acknowledge you. I made a quick call asked if there was a wait at native and told the family we are trying them one more time, we where sat upon arrival, the waitress came and took our drink order shortyly after that she took our food order the apps came out quick and hot and not under or over cooked, main course came out and the burgers where hot and the wings where hot and perfect. Our waitress was very attentive to our needs and kept the drinks full and never empty, I have no problem being that asshole and whistling or walking behind the serving station to fill my drink, But spot on and we will return for another meal.

Native New Yorker is known for its wings. The wings are strippers are excellent. I don't order fish at a steak house.
(5)Bill L.
This,is,one of the most disgusting restaurants I have ever eaten in! the noise Level and the.lighting is.like eating in WalMart. The Chicken wraps and Burgers are obviously filled with soy and cheap seasoning. my family And I,went home quite I'll after feeling like we had just been inflicted With a case of mild food poisoning. IF YOU WANT BAD FOOD AND BAD SERVICE THEN THIS IS THE PLACE FOR, YOU.it seemed Very dirty inside and quite unsanitary. THE BATHROOMS WERE disgusting. this is not a good sign. do not waste up money or time. you will be very disappointed.I will never return!
(1)Julia L.
Food is always great quality! Great sports bar. Service is always fantastic. Ashlee was great!

Unfortunately I cannot give this location more than two stars. I have continued to visit because it's close to home and the drinks are great, but the food? Absolutely horrible. Each time, I have tried something different on the menu and each time I am disappointed. The two stars are for the drinks and the excellent service I have received every time I have visited. I just keep waiting for the food to catch up. :(
(2)Amy L.
The service and food (wings, fried zucchini , and dinner salad) was good. It's a great option if you live in the area to watch NFL games.
(3)Rich P.
Good prices, food is decent. The logo looks like a bootleg buffalo wildwings, but fuck it. Not there for the logo
(3)Taylor R.
Not at all impressed. A friend and I were recommended this place because it has fast wifi. We went there to do homework and write, and let the server know we would be there for a while, hoping they could put us in the back and out of the way. They put us right in the front. No problem, it wasn't very busy, right? Wrong. Even though there were PLENTY of areas to sit for incoming guests (not sure why there were any incoming guests, this place is awful), we could hear all of the front of house staff standing around the host stand blatantly bad mouthing us and complaining that we were there too long. The thing that most upsets me is WHY offer free wifi if you are going to bash people who use it! Furthermore, once confronted, the server then came back and lied when we had CLEARLY heard her. Don't bother going here. The food is decent (I really loved the mozzarella sticks) but the service is horrible and unacceptable. I'm sad that I'll never go back because those mozzarella sticks were amazing! Get it together Native New Yorker!
(1)Cory G.
So I was going to give this place the benefit of the doubt based on all the other bad reviews, but they are right. This place is horrible. I haven't gotten served my food yet after a half hour+. Bathrooms are dirty. I pray to God the food doesn't suck as bad as the service!! Upgrading my 1 star to 2 star cause the in bone wings were awesome! But a restaurant is only as good as its service! The GM should be fired and bring in someone who knows the service industry.
(2)C Sebastian V.

We went on Friday night and the wait was 20 minutes, which is pretty typical for most places on a weekend. Our server was pleasant. The food is always okay, but just okay. I'm always a little disappointed. It's just not outstanding. I had the California Cluck. I could make something better (and probably faster) at home. They have made their portions smaller from the past and upped the prices. It's an okay place, but not one I ever crave or would choose to go to unless my only other option was McDonald's.
(3)Lonzo D.
Was here with my wife for lunch. Was seated and served very quickly. We both ordered the lunch special salad and wings. Salad was a joke. Lettuce with cheese and tomatoes. That's it. We had the chicken stripper which was deep fried chicken strips with sauce. Not very good. Waitress was good but I can't recommend this place.
(1)Kim V.
Burgers were great but the chicken strippers were tough and chewy. I would think that they would be better being a place known for their chicken wings. Not terribly impressed.

The 2nd time was much better but still not great maybe if we have a third try I will update it but I am not impressed for the prices the food kinda sux

It really, really bothers me when servers bring you your check before you ask for it. It happened twice in the same visit here today. This was before halftime of a football game that I was obviously watching. So, I'll pay my tab and go to another establishment that won't seem so anxious to rush me out of their doors. I can't say I'd ever be in too much of a hurry to come here again.

Food was cold (wings) chicken Parmesan tasted like the chicken was leftover from 3 or 4 days ago. We eat here a lot but not anymore it gets worse every time. Slow service and cold food
(1)Taylor R.
Not at all impressed. A friend and I were recommended this place because it has fast wifi. We went there to do homework and write, and let the server know we would be there for a while, hoping they could put us in the back and out of the way. They put us right in the front. No problem, it wasn't very busy, right? Wrong. Even though there were PLENTY of areas to sit for incoming guests (not sure why there were any incoming guests, this place is awful), we could hear all of the front of house staff standing around the host stand blatantly bad mouthing us and complaining that we were there too long. The thing that most upsets me is WHY offer free wifi if you are going to bash people who use it! Furthermore, once confronted, the server then came back and lied when we had CLEARLY heard her. Don't bother going here. The food is decent (I really loved the mozzarella sticks) but the service is horrible and unacceptable. I'm sad that I'll never go back because those mozzarella sticks were amazing! Get it together Native New Yorker!
(1)Cory G.
So I was going to give this place the benefit of the doubt based on all the other bad reviews, but they are right. This place is horrible. I haven't gotten served my food yet after a half hour+. Bathrooms are dirty. I pray to God the food doesn't suck as bad as the service!! Upgrading my 1 star to 2 star cause the in bone wings were awesome! But a restaurant is only as good as its service! The GM should be fired and bring in someone who knows the service industry.
(2)Gary C.
The wings were very good. The pizza is definitely different than any pizza I ever had. They had towelettes which were pretty cool. The only problem I have was the wait. Some people ordered after we did and they got their food first. It was a good 40 minute wait I had to go through.
(3)Tony S.
Love this place!! All the staff is real nice even though they are all busy (this place gets packed). They have great wing specials Mondays and Tuesdays. The wings are great!! The pizza is also great!
(5)Daniel G.
Have visited here three or four times. Great food every time. Busy and sometimes the staff gets overwhelmed because it's ONE OF THE ONLY PLACES IN SAN TAN VALLEY to grab a beer, game and great food. The staff does a great job.
(5)Johnny N.
Great wings place is always busy service is spotty mixed drinks always weak stick to beer..
(3)Richard S.
If I coukd give them less stars I would. Not only was the staff not not very friendly or Moving with urgency, it took forever for them to greet us after being sat. 3 separate people came to us after we had to request service, one girl claimed to be our waitress then never came back. Another gentleman saved the day or else we would have just walked out. We wanted to have the tip given to the guy thst actually served us instead of our "waitress", who could have been a busser. Never again will step foot in this building and really makes me want to avoid native all together. Hopefully they get their act together or they won't be in business much longer since they don't want to earn our money.
(1)Brenda S.
Nasty ! Just gave this Native one last try and again terrible food, 35$ for burnt cold food and poor service. Do yourself a favor and save your money and your stomach. Enough said
(1)Kal W.
Absolute worst customer service && so poorly managed. Somebody who knows what they are doing needs to come In and clean house!!!
(1)Jessica K.
I dont know why this place is packed every night, but it is. Not a fan of their wings. Always too long of a wait for what its worth. Two stars because its close to home.
(2)Averie K.
The 1 star is for the food the 4 missing is for the crappy service! I love the wings but they shorted me 4 wings, the server checked on our table maybe 3x, I asked for water and she took the cup and didn't come back! My husband had to get up and got get a cup of water himself. We asked for our check and it took her 15 minutes to bring over and didn't come back for another 15 minutes, didn't even get a pen to sign the check. The entire time she seemed like she hated her job and was here just for a check. Horrible service.
(1)Caesar R.
Good wings great service very busy other food is also good as well beer is extra cold. Sitting is great host really helpful

I have never had a bad experience at this Native New Yorker. The food is always well prepared and the staff is friendly. I normally only eat the wings or strippers but my family eats other items on the menu and I've never seen anything over or under cooked. Maybe the other reviews were poor because this restaurant opened recently and were just getting into the swing of things. Well, they're fully operational now and got all the kinks worked out.
(5)Raena W.
we eat there a few times a month, average food but usually good service. wings are good.
(3)Tom B.
I love Natives wings. The reason this place gets 3 stars is due to service. It really needs to be stepped up. I took a party of 10 here for the Tuesday wing special. After waiting 45 minutes, we were told that they were sorry but they couldn't handle a party of that size. We had to drive 20 minutes to the next closest location in order to be served. I've been back to this location since this happened, and it's been somewhat better, but it still has room for improvement.
(3)Rodney C.
Customer service was AMAZING here!!!!!!! Our waitress, Ariana, was GREAT. Her personality and customer service was amazing. She treated my sister, fiancée, and I with 1000% respect. We need more people like her in the customer service industry. Brett was Awesome too. Every time we come here? He takes time to make sure we are COMPLETELY SATISFIED.
(5)Jill A.
This was my second time back at this location and sadly to say it will be my last. Service was so poor! Our waitress came by to take our drink order 20 minutes later she arrives to then take our order. Food came out correct and hot but we were never serviced after the food was later down. She walked to the booth in front of us and the booth behind us several times! I counted up to six times to one table behind us before I just stopped keeping track. She wouldn't even acknowledge our table. Just turned and walked away. FINALLY, when we got our bill, is when we were asked if we wanted any refills( all consumed just ice in our glasses). As we looked over our bill we were overcharged. Now mind you it wasn't a lot but for me it was the principal. It was easier for her to overcharge us so she could enter it in easier in their computer system than to charge is correctly!!!! Seriously!!! Your lucky you got even one star! It was the only way they would let me post a review
(1)Christa L.
Unfortunately I cannot give this location more than two stars. I have continued to visit because it's close to home and the drinks are great, but the food? Absolutely horrible. Each time, I have tried something different on the menu and each time I am disappointed. The two stars are for the drinks and the excellent service I have received every time I have visited. I just keep waiting for the food to catch up. :(
(2)Rich P.
Good prices, food is decent. The logo looks like a bootleg buffalo wildwings, but fuck it. Not there for the logo
(3)Amy L.
The service and food (wings, fried zucchini , and dinner salad) was good. It's a great option if you live in the area to watch NFL games.
(3)Kerri S.
The DH and I find ourselves here almost every Saturday afternoon. We like to sit at the bar since we always have great conversations and incredible service from the bartender Ashley. She always knows our preferences and is quick to request a redo if the kitchen presents her with anything less than what she would be proud to serve. The managers are great and I cannot say we have ever had less wonderful experience while at a table with the family or at the bar top.
(5)Jay T.
The service was good. The food came out pretty quick. I really love the wings, they were crunchy and the sauce that was on it didn't over power the chicken. The unsweetened mango tea was especially good and very refreshing!
(4)Tyler S.
I get a dozen honey-hot wings with extra ranch, and I'm usually gonna be a happy guy. They'll over-cook them maybe 3-4 times out of 10, but they tend to be worth the money. For that reason I'm giving the place 2 stars. If I ever get appetizers, or another meal, things get even more dicey. The problem with Native is, when the food is cooked well, it's great. It's just never cooked well. The potato skins are fantastic, unless they're dry and burnt. The fries are great, unless they're undercooked. The wings (bone-in) are flawless, unless they're charred. The boneless wings are fine, unless they taste like a dirty oven. The waiters/waitresses are fine, but if you're getting take-out, check your food first, because they apparently don't. I've gotten home, only to realize one order is wrong and another is missing entirely. If you want to watch a game, and you're ok with gambling on food, this is a fine enough spot. They play every NFL game live, you might not be able to hear yours, but if you don't have Sunday Ticket, or you have an aversion to streaming, it's an option.
(2)Daniel S.
Native is your typical wing and bar restaurant. The food is average but the atmosphere is fun. TV's are plentiful and there is a different game on each one. Service is pretty quick and the staff is friendly. The menu is diverse and will have something to please everyone.
(3)Roy W.
Wings were pretty good, everything else was just OK. I'd be much happier with this place, however, if they showed the UFC events. I've asked several times (in person and over the phone) and each time was told they don't like the UFC and don't consider it a legitimate sport. Just about every other NATIVE in town does , as well as all their competitors. ...minus a couple of stars for that...

First-timer here, with a co- worker. They have a good selection of salads, burgers, pizza, calzones, and a terrific selection of wings. We had attentive host and wait staff, but waited nearly an hour for a burger, salad and wings on a slow week night. I certainly don't mind waiting for good food, but it wasn't.
(2)Stephanie S.
We went on Friday night and the wait was 20 minutes, which is pretty typical for most places on a weekend. Our server was pleasant. The food is always okay, but just okay. I'm always a little disappointed. It's just not outstanding. I had the California Cluck. I could make something better (and probably faster) at home. They have made their portions smaller from the past and upped the prices. It's an okay place, but not one I ever crave or would choose to go to unless my only other option was McDonald's.
(3)Lonzo D.
Was here with my wife for lunch. Was seated and served very quickly. We both ordered the lunch special salad and wings. Salad was a joke. Lettuce with cheese and tomatoes. That's it. We had the chicken stripper which was deep fried chicken strips with sauce. Not very good. Waitress was good but I can't recommend this place.
(1)John W.
Service was good. Ordered call chicken sandwich .when I got the sandwich they forgot the avacado
(3)Kim V.
Burgers were great but the chicken strippers were tough and chewy. I would think that they would be better being a place known for their chicken wings. Not terribly impressed.

(1)Jason D.
Well I have been to this native 3 times now first time was a few months after it opened and I heard alot of hype about it and the service and food was terrible, figured they where having a off day and gave them another shot and a huge fail. This 3rd time we went to Don Pedros and I heard alot of good things and I wanted to do taco tuesday, Don Pedros is a waste the wait the nasty salsa bar and the fact that they don't acknowledge you. I made a quick call asked if there was a wait at native and told the family we are trying them one more time, we where sat upon arrival, the waitress came and took our drink order shortyly after that she took our food order the apps came out quick and hot and not under or over cooked, main course came out and the burgers where hot and the wings where hot and perfect. Our waitress was very attentive to our needs and kept the drinks full and never empty, I have no problem being that asshole and whistling or walking behind the serving station to fill my drink, But spot on and we will return for another meal.

Native New Yorker is known for its wings. The wings are strippers are excellent. I don't order fish at a steak house.
(5)Bill L.
This,is,one of the most disgusting restaurants I have ever eaten in! the noise Level and the.lighting is.like eating in WalMart. The Chicken wraps and Burgers are obviously filled with soy and cheap seasoning. my family And I,went home quite I'll after feeling like we had just been inflicted With a case of mild food poisoning. IF YOU WANT BAD FOOD AND BAD SERVICE THEN THIS IS THE PLACE FOR, YOU.it seemed Very dirty inside and quite unsanitary. THE BATHROOMS WERE disgusting. this is not a good sign. do not waste up money or time. you will be very disappointed.I will never return!
(1)Julia L.
Food is always great quality! Great sports bar. Service is always fantastic. Ashlee was great!
(4)Benjamin M.
Good service but the wings are so oily. We used 10 napkins to squeeze the oil out of these things. Maybe stand these things up and let them drain.
(3)alex u.
Pretty boring inside and out, looks like a doctors office. The food is ok but every time I go it takes forever to come out. The wings are very small but good. Go here if you're into paying regular price for very small wings that look like they came from a bat or a bird not a chicken.
(2)Hana P.
We've gone here twice. Overall the food is good, they make a mean Long Island!! Both times we had great servers. The first time we went, the place was pretty empty. Our server came over quickly, kept our drinks filled and was very friendly. The second time we went on 35 cent wing night - much busier!! Our server made sure to check in frequently and gave us updates on the food. She was very friendly and it was a great experience for a busy night. Is this the best bar food ever? No, but for a chain place, it was worth checking out!
(4)Dalton G.
SLOW!! waited almost 45 min for my to go order. I was told it would only take 10-15 min.

Wasn't great service, food was mediocre, and the Calzone/Wings I had weren't amazing! Didn't accommodate my grandfather who is in a walker and the waitress was very rude about our situation. Wouldn't recommend eating here.
(2)Paul R.
Was pretty excited to have NYY near me but this one something just didn't feel right. The staff is hit and miss and that's why it gets 3 stars. There is some bartenders/servers that care and wanna do a good job, but the place has plenty of others that give it a bad wrap. This is store specific because I have eaten at other stores and this is one of the worst. I will continue to eat at this place because the food is good and the location. It's just the service is coin flip of good and bad. I haven't had any horrible encounters that pop out, but I also don't have any "wow, this place is awesome let's close this joint down" type encounters. Food is a 4 and the service is so wishy washy that I can't leave any higher than a 3. Try it out for your own sake, but you could end up with one of the few servers that put forth he effort. Enjoy

Me and my wife love this place we always get good service everybody knows us talks to us its nice I like the environment food is delicious 5 stars
(5)Jennifer C.
Food isn't great.... We live across the street and we hardly ever eat here. I'd recommend uncle bears for bar food and atmosphere over this place.
(2)Michael S.
Decided to take my wife and family out to one of the newest restaurants in San Tan Valley. We were seating fairly quickly, and our waiter came and took our drink order. When he returned with our drinks he took our food order, which included so appetizers as well. Both appetizers, potato skins and load steak fries, were still cold in the middle and the cheese on top did not even melt. Tried to send them back, the returned food was now burnt and way too crispy. My wife's patty melt came out wrong and burnt as well, she sent it back and the returned one was acceptable. My wings were okay, but way too greasy for my liking. The worst part of the evening is when the manager came to check on us and ask us everything was. My wife responded "not very good", and the manager said "well that's good" and walked away. Will definitely not be returning.
(2)David C.
Have been back on many occasions now and they have really turned things around. Service is great, the staff really makes you feel welcome. Food is delicious, I highly recommend the buffalo nachos appetizer. As stated above, they have really turned things around.

I so, so....SO wanted to like this place. I literally live 4 miles down the road and it's pretty much the only place in the area with a decent bar. I also love supporting local businesses and want to see them thrive. But alas, that hasn't been the case. Now, I can't blame the entire chain because I've been to other locations albeit going back a few years and I have friends that rave about their local store, so I can only guess it's the roll of the dice when you franchise, even at a local level. To be fair, we've eaten at this location probably 5-6 times since it's been open, and while not every experience has been notably bad, none has stood out as a reason to return. That decision has been solely based on the fact that it's five minutes from my door. The biggest issue has definitely been the food. Several instances of receiving dishes hot on the outside and not-completely-thawed on the inside indicate that much of the menu is frozen and microwaved.....a common practice of casual dining I'm aware, but jeez, if you're gonna go that route, at least ensure that the food is heated properly. The wings, as has been mentioned is previous reviews are terrible. Flavorless, greasy, and fatty. BWW (the giant chain that it is) absolutely owns them on wings. Having hailed from a close proximity of NYC, I can attest that the pizza is not native of anywhere near there. :( Service, at least after the typical awkward period when a new place opens in this bar/restaurant-starved area, has been admittedly pretty good, especially from the bartenders. But that leads us to my final gripe, and what I feel would've been an easy way to redeem the shortcomings of the dining, the bar. The bar itself is simply too small and it's difficult to get a seat there, much less for two or more people. The surrounding bar area would typically handle this overflow, but they tend to just use it as regular seating when busy. I'm sorry, but when it's after 9 on a weekend night I don't expect to encounter screaming children in the bar area. If I wanted that I'd go to McDonald's. I've actually seen children AT the bar a few times when there was empty tables on the restaurant side......seriously?? In addition, the entire bar area is way too bright and could definitely benefit from a dimmer. I don't want to feel like I'm in a jewelry store when I go to a pub. Lastly, in this age of craft beer renaissance, their tap selection is pretty pathetic, featuring (iirc) only one decent selection among a bunch of redundant mediocrity. I do still have hope that perhaps it will improve, but sadly, it will likely take competition to make it happen since an ongoing history of negative reviews hasn't seemed to help....and in this area, it could take another five years till something else opens. For now, two stars for closeness and decent service.

I have tried this location 3 times to make sure they got a fair shake. The food here is terrible and the quality is a shade of what Native used to be able to offer. If you want good wings you will have to drive out of Santan Valley. Try Wingstop or ATL and you will be much happier. This Native really seems to have poor quality and a lack of management.
(1)Cole L.
Typical bar food except it's not very good.
(2)Sandi B.
Gargle. Ahem. "This place was terrrrrriiiibbbbblllleeee." I have to completely agree with the other reviewers that myself and my family were severely disappointed with the food, price, and service* at this establishment. My son has been begging me to try this place so we decided to grab some lunch there today, around noon. Native New Yorker was actually pretty empty for a Saturday at lunch time and since it's still a fairly new restaurant that surprised me. After we were seated we got our drinks and menu's accordingly and started to browse. Our waitress was attentive and very friendly so that started things off right and put us at ease. When it came time for us to order is when everything started to go horribly, horribly wrong. My son ordered the build your own calzone, I was trying to order the pot pie. And the waitress had this uneasy look on her face and she said "Are you sure that's what you want?" "Are you REALLY sure?" I said "Is there something you want to tell me?" So, she proceeds to tell me that the pot pie isn't made fresh and she really encouraged me to change my mind. Than my husband tried to order the full rack of ribs and the waitress flat out said he couldn't have it. The new menu's apparently haven't arrived yet and it's technically no longer on the menu. How hard would it be to strike it out? Or to let us know it's not available as you're giving us our menus? Not very. After that disappointment and awkwardness we had to take another five minutes to look over the menu. I ended up ordering the native stripper platter which is chicken strippers with your choice of flavor ( I chose suicide and honey bbq) with coleslaw and steak fries. My son was able to keep his calzone order and my husband ordered a personal pizza with sausage, bacon and pepperoni. We also opted to order an appetizer, the chicken bacon ranch flat bread. To their credit we all enjoyed the app it was a little over board on the cheese but good. For six dollars we each had three decent sized slices. We didn't have to wait long on our food and it all LOOKED good, honestly we couldn't wait to eat it. My son didn't like his calzone because it was too doughy for him. I tasted it and it was cooked through completely but there was definitely more bread than innards. And, when I say the ratio was off-it was off...my steak fries were not well seasoned and just lifeless on my plate. My suicide strippers were not hot and my chicken was rubbery. Overall, my plate was overcooked and just very bland. My husband's pizza was so greasy he had to blot it and the crust was mushy and he had one and half pieces and just slid it away from him. At the end of the meal our waitress brought us boxes and she seemed to intentionally overlook the fact that our plates were still full. Than came the bill...after tip it was a whopping $50 ....the only thing we got worth eating was about $6 so...we won't be going back. The only reason I'm giving this place two stars is because they had TV's everywhere all playing different sports which was awesome. Also, the flat bread app was good... * The waitress was bummed out about everything that happened and it bummed us out.

Was here with the family last night, was very busy. Wings were good, salads were really good, burger and pizza were maybe a bit below average. Service was great given how busy it was. Its ok if you live in the area and don't feel like a drive for something better.
(3)Jennifer N.
worst experience ever!!!! We waited 30 plus minutes for our food, the waitress "kept checking", when the food finally came, my burger was over cooked and dry. I said something and she said do you want me to put your order in again? I said no I'm not waiting another half hour for food. She said she told the manager (which I did see) the manager never once came to the table to apologize, did not offer to take anything off the bill. She just handed us the bill and I said your not even going to offer to take care of my burger? She said she's sorry, went to the manager again and then gave us the check with no discount. When I left I told the hostess what happened and she said, yeah management sucks here, that's why I put my two weeks in. If the franchise owner cares about this business at all you need to fire the skinny blond lady that is so called "manager"!!!

Great wings and good service. Me likes!

My family & I went here last Mon. for my husband's birthday. One to try something new & different only because there are not many other family restaurants out here either. We started off with cheese sticks (6) & the plate of onion rings (10), it was ok. There menu claims to be serving food made "Fresh & daily". So not true the fish & chips was out of the ice box as were the fries with a little seasoning to add flavor. The BBQ chicken strips were even worse than they smelled and served with a side of coleslaw and fries. The club salad wasn't anything spectacular either, a thin slice of cheese, lettuce, meat & three layers of bread along a side of fries. Finally, my sauteed mushroom hamburger, well done. Everyone else was served food & I had to wait another 6 min. only because I asked for a "well done" burger so this takes more time to cook than anything else that we ordered and was supposed to be prepared Fresh, I don't think so. Again this food was out of the ice box & had NO seasoning what so ever on the burger or mushrooms. So dissatisfied with this place would not ever recommend this place nor would I take my family back there to eat, Blah, blah food. Just because the place is "New" doesn't mean the food will taste delicious. So over rated and so ashamed to even say I've eaten there but that was the one & only time I will have tried the Native New Yorker. Half a star only because the atmosphere is New.
(1)Heather G.
As an actual upstate Native New Yorker I love this place, we have previously been going to the one in Mesa so were excited when this one opened closer to us. Our service was excellent, our waitress Nicole was super attentive and very sweet! We went on a saturday night, had no wait for a booth, ordered wings & pizza which were excellent and delivered promptly. I have read the negative comments so we waited awhile to visit, as I believe it usually takes some time for a resturant to get things right and I feel this location has accomplished that!
(5)Dave G.
Went last night about 9 pm. Got seated in the bar, and I was planning on trying an Atlantic Breeze drink to start. I was thinking wings too. After 10 minutes and no visit by the waitress I assumed they werent interested in making money on a saturday. It wasn't busy, I could see the servers and hostess chatting , the the bartender chatting with some other servers. Got up and left. I'm sure I'll go again though, I do love their wings.

I guess Im lucky? We live near NNY so we eat there a few times a month. First off they now have sweet tea, thank you. The pizza is above average and they will bring you several different wing sauces if you ask. Josh was our waiter last time and he was amazing. I will be asking for him when I return. Can't complain, it's been good.

If you're a fan of blue cheese, be sure to ask for ranch (and vice versa). They will do their best to deliver the wrong sauce...every time! This place is always busy but that isn't a reflection of the food but rather the desperate stomachs of San Tan Valley. Service is slow/poor and management seems unconcerned and detached. When/if more casual dining options pop up in the area, this place will be a ghost town unless they start focusing on better service and quality.

We ate at Native last Tuesday because of their wing special. We walked out without having to pay for the bill. My wife and kids meals where over cooked and that made the chicken like rubber. My chicken still had feathers attached. Sick!!!!!

Visited Native New Yorker yesterday with my buddy James. Enjoyed great wings, great Thursday specials, and had great service! Very nice layout with many televisions to keep us posted on all the games!

Great place and had awesome service. I'm not too sure about the layout but i think its laid out for more of a family restaurant and not for a local bar. I'm used to Native New Yorker separating the bar and the restaurant side, but the way they have it set up will get the job done. The one thing i was not a big fan of was the super small patio. There was only room for a couple tables.

My husband and I finally decided to try this place yesterday. We will never go back. The food was not good. My husband's calzone was tasteless and too much bread and not enough fillings. I ordered a burger and fries and the fries were undercooked and the burger very greasy. I felt ill the rest of the night. However, we did have good service and the beer was very cold, but still won't go back.

I've had a very good burger here but the fries were under cooked. The service on the other hand was horrible! It took a party of 3 (2 adults and a child) 25 mins of seated time before we even got water to our table. Asked my waiter for a 3rd set of silverware and never got it so I had to stop the manager as I saw her walking past the table with a few in her hand for one. Proceeded to tell her that we were not happy that it to over 20 mins to get water and we still did not have the appetizer and that I have a child that is starving and begging me for food as Im talking to her the appetizer hits the table. 2 mins later still talking to her and the food hits the table. All she told me was that they were having high turnover in staff and that it was very busy and if I would have sat in the bar area the better servers are in that area. UNBELIEVABLE!!! I should be able to sit anywhere in a restaurant and get good service!! Been to the STV location twice and same horrible service both times. My parents have also been there once and had the same complaint. Sorry manager that gave me a line of crap but I don't think its "busy" I think your waiters suck. Get better staff if you want to keep your regulars! Management brushes off complaints here and refuses to take responsibility! This location is much closer to my house but I would recommend the Power Rd & Chandler Heights location as far as service.
