Restaurants in Payson

“Cari is the best owner and we were lucky enough to have her serve us. 5 stars isn’t enough. She was great as was the entire staff.It truly was one of the best dining experiences we have ever had. All four of us had great meals. Could not have been better. Really made our day after hiking at Tonto state park.”

“Love this place!Vegetarian options: They are always willing to make any of their dishes without meat & make adjustments/modifications to accommodate. I just had “The Greek One” (a salad) without the chicken or feta cheese, substituting avocado (no upcharge!!) & it may be my new favorite here. In lieu of a BLT they are always great about making an Avocado Lettuce & Tomato on ciabatta (also a favorite of mine).Dietary restrictions: The cooks (especially Adam) are amazing about dietary restrictions, always willing to make accommodations when they can (depending on the menu item). The staff are extra careful when it is an allergy. As someone who is dairy free, it’s a relief to have a place that gladly works with me (without upcharging) & doesn’t make me feel like a burden for it!Kid-friendliness: The staff are always amazing with my kids (my youngest are 7 & 9). It is their favorite place to go for brunch/lunch together.”

“While crusing through Payson, we decided to try a new place to eat. We stopped at the Crosswinds Restaurant right next to the airport. I had the French dip sandwich with swiss cheese and grilled onions. It also came with nice and thick fries. Hubby had the all you could eat fish, which came with homemade coleslaw and fries. He is very picky with coleslaw and really liked theirs. The fish was well cooked and good-sized pieces. Everything had great flavors, and our server was very attentive. It was great watching the planes take off while enjoying our meal.”

“Great sushi place! It was my husband's and I first time here and Chris was so friendly and made our experience Amazing! Definitely 5 stars all around!! Green tea delicious!”

“Where has this fabulous restaurant been all my life!!!?? I've been back every week since I found it. Absolutely amazing, fresh, and tasty. There is a great daily specials menu. I highly recommend the bean and cheese burrito enchilada style.”

“Pizza is awesome, beer is cold, friendly service, let my kids sit at a table behind us while we enjoyed rare “mom and dad time” at the bar. My favorite is the BBQ Chicken and the loaded tater tots. The beer cheese is darn perfect.”

“We were at Payson on our way to strawberry and had to wait for a while as our Tesla had to be charged. We got in the mood for some Thai food and noticed that there was a Thai restaurant in the same complex right by Basha’s. Found this restaurant and couldn’t be happier. Really good good and decent portion size for lunch specials. The cashew nut curry with tofu and veggies I ordered tasted really good which came in with fresh salad. They ran out of the wontons so offered us spring rolls instead. Definitely returning whenever I’m in the area and craving for some good Thai food. There is ample parking around and tends to be crowded around lunch and dinner time.”

“I would have taken a picture of the food but it was so good we scarfed it down too quickly. Wont find better in Payson. Coming here every chance we get from now on. The couple working here were also so nice. We got the carnitas and carne asada tacos. 10/10!”

“We just had a very delicious breakfast at the Beeline Café. The service was very fast, and the prices were extremely reasonable. It has a very friendly, and homey atmosphere.”

“The girls know me here!! I basically live here lately. But their food portions are great and the fish is great. I also loooooove the oysters.. great job guys!!Parking: Plenty of parking…”

“We stopped by for lunch and the food was awesome! My husband got the Herd Burger with the brisket burger and he said it was GOOD! I got the crispy chicken sandwich with buffalo sauce and it was really good too! Will definitely come back and highly recommend! (Don’t forget to get the onion rings ?)”

“260 cafe is always a solid choice for breakfast all day and lunch. My favorite item on the menu is the rainbow omelet (photoed here). The veggies and any fruit (on the side) is always fresh and never caned. Hash browns are always crisp and we always leave so full. The service is always friendly and small town diner vibe where the coffee keeps on coming (best spot in the house is at the kitchen bar).Kid-friendliness: Order the hot chocolate and your kids will love it. Topped with very high whipped cream and sprinkles.”

“DELICIOUSI only get to eat here about twice a year on my way through the state, but it is such a treat every time! absolutely love the crab sticks, rangoons, an the honey chicken. I wish I could eat it all the time”

“Well coming down from rim down to Payson Arizona the restaurant that was open and yes they shocked me because I went there from camping and I wanted something homemade and their food was excellent the service was excellent and yes I'll be going back to the same place off the Highway 260 Payson Arizona”

“Fajita burrito was excellent and highly recommended. Mole was fantastic as well. This restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere and is a good family or meeting place; and it was affordable. Exceptional service.”
