I'm a long time regular of Native in Tempe and Chandler and consider them a good value and comfortable haunts. While the Avondale location has some (not all) friendly staff, they clearly have a long way to go. The kitchen is below par (in Native terms), serving chicken stippers (boneless tenders) that are like jerky. They're terrible. Getting them to grill the things (instead of frying them) was like pulling teeth (and then I think they just microwaved them), and that just isn't the experience I'm looking for when I come in for lunch.
I might try them again in a month or two and see whether this Native Grill can pick up it's game. Till then I'll keep looking for another place for wings.
