    Lovely café with super chill servers. We entered standing awkwardly by the entrance because it was busy, but they made us feel acknowledged right away, which was nice. Scott (if I remember his name correctly) took our drink orders quickly and answered all our questions. Even though we didn't chat much, talking to him felt like talking with a friend -- very relaxed and no judgment at all. Food was delicious. I especially loved that they have a half sandwich, half soup option -- gives you variety without going overboard on calories.

    This place won me over by its home-y feel and welcoming crew, not to mention the food was phenomenal. Every single crew member greeted me with warmth and friendliness, like I was family, and remained consistent to every fellow customer I witnessed coming in. Probably my favorite burger I've ever had, and I do not say that lightly. I was hesitant to try this place because I am not a big "country food" gal, but this place is just different. Food is actually made like a home cooked meal-- like Mommas food- you can taste the love in it. Highly recommend! 10/10

Meal cost $32 for nice vacation Lunch.

    While visiting friends in Payson we tried Macky's Grill (our 1st time) it was wonderful. Our server Delaney was perfectly pleasant. She knew her menu & truly did a great job making sure our experience was enjoyable. We arrived at dinner time so it was kinda busy & the atmosphere was quiet making table conversations easy without yelling. The decor was western style with cute holiday window paintings throughout. Our meals were all delicious. Hubby had the ribeye (cooked to a perfect medium rare with delicious seasoning/flavor) with fries, I ordered the half sandwich (turkey) & soup (creamy chicken with peppers-I forgot what it was called but it was delicious) Ed had the chicken wings (spicy deliciousness) & Mary had the Reuben with potato salad (tasty deliciousness) Truly everything was perfect & delicious. Will definitely go back when in the area.

    Avocado BLT with side of chile.

    Stopped here on a bus tour. Great place with lots of choices on a large menu. I had the Avocado BLT with a bowl of chile as my side. My wife ate the veggie wrap. All our food was great. Efficient but not intrusive service. Nice outdoor seating with indoor as well. Ample parking. Highly recommended. If we lived here, we would be back ... often. .

    Heading back to the heat...one last distraction to keep me in the pines.

    Was heading back to the Valley through Payson Tuesday after a long fishing trip up north in the White Mountains and stopped for some food. Macky's was recommended so we hit it up before leaving the pines. This is a sit down and order type place. The place was clean and everyone had a smile. We were greeted quickly and given a booth. The service was super friendly and the staff were amazing. Food came out hot and quickly. I got the Macky's Burger and it was really good!! The meat was seasoned and cooked perfectly as I ordered it. Loved the fries...they were salted well and had a crispy/crunchy outside...super good! On a scale of 1 - 10, I would definitely hit this place again!

    The Caprese salad was delicious as was the Macky burger. From this perspective, the salad looks huge, but both the burger and the salad.

We both had sunny side up eggs, bacon, hash browns, corned beef hash, delicious fluffy pancakes and bottomless coffee. Everything was piping hot and delicious. They also have a full menu for lunch and dinner. The burgers served at the table next to us looked awesome. This place reminded us of a typical diner back east in New Jersey: happy servers, plentiful and delicious hot and fresh food, great coffee and fresh baked home made pie. So if you find yourself in Payson and need a great meal with a family friendly vibe, go to Crosswinds. They have plenty of free parking too.

We arrived around 7:30am, which was right before it started getting busy. The view is pretty cool. The restaurant is overlooking the runway. After checking in at the front, we were given a table within minutes. Then, our waitress came up and asked us what we wanted to drink. Eventually, we decided what to order and she came back to take our order. The food didn't take long--I'd say about 15 minutes. The food was delicious, to say the least. We both ordered a Western Omelette and shared an order of French Toast. I also took an apple pie and some other baked goods back home with me. The pie was also delicious! The only reason for my 4 stars is because of the service. Some of the employees seemed annoyed to be there and help us. While I understand that the restaurant was busy, you should still maintain composure and try to remain calm under stress. Having worked at a restaurant, I understand the feeling, but you can't let it get to you. Other than that, great little restaurant. I'd come here again.

Usually when we visit Payson we eat at either Mackey's or Fargo's…read morebut I had to stop at the Tesla charger and this place is located in the same plaza so we stopped in for a bite to eat while the car was charging. I ordered the Backwoods burger and subbed a black bean patty and I opted for steak fries. The burger was definitely top 5 burgers I have ever eaten. The black bean patty was something special whatever sauce is on this thing really brought out all of the flavors. The addition of the sautéed jalapeños really set this burger off as they had an amazing flavor profile. I'm serious when I say that I would make the 85 mile trek from Gilbert to Payson just so I can have this burger. We finished up our lunch/dinner with the Mogollon Monster dessert, which is an M&M skillet cookie topped with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, and caramel drizzle. Of course that was really good too, how can you go wrong with a skillet cookie?! If I may make a slight suggestion, instead of topping the cookie with vanilla ice cream, how about blue cookies & cream "Cookie Monster" ice cream given the name of the dessert? The only criticism I have of this place is that the service was a bit slow. After we finished the dessert we sat at the table for about 15 min. before I finally got up and told our server we were ready to go. But, the burger was THAT good to where I have to give this place 5 stars.

We ordered a double smash burger with bacon (an extra $2 charge) along with tomatoes, lettuce, and onion. The burger arrived with no bacon and none of the listed veggies. We also ordered a triple smash burger with cheddar cheese and tomatoes, lettuce, and onion -- again, none of the veggies were included. We also ordered a mashed potato bowl with chicken, corn, and brown gravy, but there was no brown gravy in it at all. Even though a lot of our order was missing, I will say the food itself still tasted good. The biggest issue, however, was the customer service. The young girl working there, who looked to be around 16 years old, was extremely rude and snotty. When I asked for plastic utensils, she replied, "We do not have any." I asked how we were supposed to eat mashed potatoes and gravy without utensils, and she shrugged and said, "Ma'am, we are a bar, we do not have it." I responded that I've ordered takeout from many bars before and they always provide plastic utensils. She then sarcastically replied, "Good for you, have a nice day." I tried speaking with who I believed was the manager (he nodded when I asked if he was), and while I was explaining the issue, the young employee continued interrupting and talking over me. Another waitress overheard the conversation and quickly returned with plastic utensils, proving they did in fact have them available. The employee then changed her story, saying she "didn't know" if they had utensils and claimed she was super sweet to me(not rude). There is no reason an employee should be speaking to customers this way. She clearly needs additional customer service training before handling customer interactions on her own.
