It looks as if a Native New Yorker restaurant is preparing to move into what was formerly a Chuy’s Baja Broiler location at 3100 E. Speedway Blvd.

We just got done checking the city’s liquor license register and an application has been filed under the Native New Yorker name for the location. No word yet on when it could open, but it’s going to take some time to scrub off all that Chuy’s flair, so we’re guessing it could be some time.

I am so glad to see that building being put back into use. I get a little misty every time I drive by and see it sitting all lonely and deserted. Has anyone out there eaten at a Native New Yorker? I haven’t, but feel free to post any thoughts on the food it serves down in the comments section.

  2. They’ve got them in Phoenix and the few locations I’ve been to are awful. Poor quality food, greasy, bland, etc.

  3. It would take a lot to serve food that is worse than that stuff Chuys used to have. One of the worst cases of food poisoning I ever had was from their fish. I sure didn’t cry when they went away. As for the new place…hopefully it will be good. I hate seeing that location in it’s present shape. speedway has come a long was from when it was declared the ugliest street in America and having boarded up, graffiti infested places like it currently is gives the whole area a black eye.

  5. If you want good food go to New York……don’t move there,just eat and come back…..

  8. There is nothing “New York” about the menu for this place. Frankly it pretty much reminds me of TGI Fridays or Applebees (both restaurants have lame , boring chain restaurant food) What a shame that a non descript ‘cookie- cutter’ chain restaurant like Native New Yorker replaced a quality locally owned affordable and delicious restaurant like Chuys. I find it unlikely that I will ever visit this establishment.

  9. My food was good, the service was terrible, too noisy for my taste, I get it that is a sports place but tooooo many tv’s, booths too close to each other, not enough room for BIG people, they targeting young slim clientele
