4 reviews for Native New Yorker
It's a sports bar that is known for its wings. I really like this place for that purpose alone, but I question the insane growth of its menu since I was a regular at the original Tempe location as a kid.
On one trip, we ordered a couple of the "lighter" appetizer plates and got a good laugh. The veggies were as expected, but the cheese plate was simply a bunch of soup crackers (still wrapped, mind you) with some kind of processed cheese spread and a few chunk of cheddar, etc. Not good. Same goes for the other times I've tried experimenting with the menu.
Pizza: terrible deal. We decided to order takeout recently and ended up with a 14" pizza that cost $20 and was smothered in cheese. Ummm, nothing like a NY-style pie. Nothing at all.
My friend Steve from upstate New York says that the wings are nothing like the real deal either, but I wouldn't know. I'm just fine with the traditional sauce and the BBQ hot at Native New Yorker. But like anywhere in AZ, don't forget to ask if you prefer blue cheese dressing instead of ranch.
My advice: go here when you want a beer and wings, or other bar food. Don't expect anything spectacular and it should be just fine. And btw, the only decent beers on tap are Guinness and Blue Moon. So don't expect a big micro-brew selection either.
I've lived in laveen since 2001, before 51st ave became a large street, and when you had to drive to get groceries anywhere.
I've had great service in the bar at native, but sitting in the other area is just plain dumb if you're over 21. Tonight we had crap service, the only reason they recieved 3 stars is because of previous experiance.
I reall don't understand how you can leave a table sitting for 15 minutes with empty glasses, while you disappeared into the kitchen. never once coming by our table to ask how our food is, this service is one of the worst i've ever had.
with that said i love honey hot wings, i'd probably bath in the sauce if it was possable.
This place is totally hit and miss. There are times when you don't even want to come back to this place because the service was so bad. However, the "majority" of the time they have pretty good food. You can never go wrong with their chicken wings, steak sandwich or bow-tie chicken Alfredo.
The wings are awesome!! I understand the wait at this place on Tuesday nights...especially since this is the only Native New Yorker around for miles. Going back soon I hope!!
