Usually when cinnamon rolls are that big, the edges are dry and you only want the center -- but that wasn't the case here. The whole thing was soft, fresh, and delicious from edge to center.

Everyone was very nice, the place was clean, and overall it was a great experience. I'd definitely come back!

It had that cozy, small-town charm that makes you feel right at home the second you walk in. I ordered the chili and cornbread to start -- the chili was phenomenal! It had just the right amount of spice to give it a kick without being too much. And the cornbread... oh my goodness, mouth-watering doesn't even begin to describe it. For my meal, I had eggs, toast, and sausage -- everything tasted homemade, like something your mom would whip up in her kitchen on a Sunday morning. Truly comfort food at its best. The service was great -- friendly and welcoming -- and the inside was exactly what you'd expect from a small-town café: super cute, quaint, and full of charm. If you're passing through, this spot is definitely worth stopping for. Delicious food, kind people, and that cozy hometown feel!

I ordered the avocado toast and asked for it without smoked salmon, but it still came out with salmon just not smoked.so I wasn't able to eat it as intended. My husband ordered eggs over easy but received scrambled instead. I also asked for decaf tea,and the only option available was chamomile--which isn't exactly what you want first thing in the morning. The service felt a bit off, as our waitress seemed pretty frazzled, which may explain the mix-ups. On the positive side, the blueberry croissant was delicious, and the carne asada breakfast was good. There's definitely potential here, but the details need to be more consistent to make the experience really stand out.

I came in about an hour before closing. Decided to do a last minute trip to Payson to hike. But I needed lunch, was pretty hungry. I had not looked at the menu before arrival as I sometimes do so I felt a bit rushed with my decision making cause I had my fur baby Flynn waiting outside, but I fully enjoyed what I had. Lunch menu was available, I would like to come back for breakfast next time. I opted for the Dipper sandwich (roast beef, Swiss, onion and au jus). Served with seasoned potato wedges. It was very tasty. I would have liked the potatoes a bit more cooked and crispy, but still good. I ate about half of it and had it for leftovers where I toasted the wedges to my liking. Really good leftover as well. They have a bunch of teas! So I had what is sort of strange, an earl grey iced tea. They can make any tea iced. It was good. I love earl grey. The weather was nice, it was drizzling a tiny, bit and they were kind to bring water bowl for Flynn as we sat outside on the small front patio area. I'll definitely be back! Great random find! Also, their menu says gluten free options for my GF friends :)

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.

My sister in law ordered a hot chocolate that reminded me of Ned Flanders' hot chocolate from The Simpsons Movie in a fun, nostalgic way.

I had coffee, which was delicious and he had hot tea. In addition we ordered a strawberry waffle and split it!!! The waffle was the lightest airy waffle that 8 have ever had! It was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. This waffle literally melted in your mouth like it was cotton candy! Every part of the meal was great, with one exception. When we got the bill, with a 20% tip, it was just over $54.00!!! Okay, that's $27.00 per person, for breakfast!!! Yes, I know that prices are high everywhere but come on! $27.00 per person for eggs, potatoes and such! That's a bit much I think! Although the waffle was the best that I've had, it simply isn't worth the $11.00 they charge for it! I remember Tiny's being the place to go for a very reasonably priced meal that was good! I know that I'm living in the past when it comes to price, but this seems to be a trend amongst restaurants when it comes to breakfast meals! At this cost, it's more than most other restaurants lunch costs. Although it saddens me, I won't be going back for breakfast anytime soon, or at least until they get the pricing right! And yes, I'm in the restaurant business, so I know the cost of goods!

Overall, the service was good. We did ask for a quiet table but were seated by the kitchen, bathroom and a large group that was quite noisy. They did accommodate us and moved us. My husband ordered ribs and I had the barramundi. The clam chowder was delicious but my fish was overcooked to the point of being crunchy all around. I did send it back, which I rarely do. The replacement was delicious until I got to the center, which was undercooked. I ate around that part and did enjoy the meal because the flavor was delicious. I let the waitress know and she offered a free dessert. I declined but let her know that I hoped it got back to the kitchen. There is no need to rush when something is sent back. Overcooked or undercooked, it still was not properly prepared. I will eat here again but not the fish.

We planned a Mother's Day/60th Birthday dinner in our new town. The restaurant came hightly…read morerecommended. After we were seated someone came around with a dessert tray showing us the desserts that were being offered complimentary for mothers day. Yah! We ordered an Old Fashioned and a Vodka Sour cocktail while were were perusing the menu since we hadn't been there before. The waitress was cute and kind and trying to do a good job. Mind you, the restaurant was not at capacity, nor was there a wait to get in. Our drinks came and they brought me a manhattan (not an old fashioned) with no ice and the cocktail cherry and orange wedge was put in my husbands Vodka sour ‍ ...ok they were a little confused at the bar. No problem. The server decided to bring me some cherries (maraschino, not cocktail) to make up for it (thanks but not the issue) Next we ordered dinner with our salads and they were delivered to the opposite person. Which isn't a big deal but there are only 2 people at our table. Dinner was fine he ordered a ribeye w/rice pilaf and I ordered the Barramundi with rice pilaf. The fish was nice, I'd never had it before and the ribeye was ok, nothing spectacular. Then the complimentary Mother's Day Dessert choice I made was creme brûlée as it's my favorite. Well it wasn't the dessert they walked around the restaurant advertising, it was a tiny little cup but as the server said "at least it's free" And boom, here comes the bill....we were charged full price for the complimentary Mother's Day dessert. And, we didn't notice until after we had paid the bill. Now, mind you the server was tipped based on the check total. When it was brought to her attention she tells us that we can either have a restaurant credit, or return the whole bill and charge us again but the refund of the bill would take 3 days. We told her to just take care of us next time since we are new to the area and hope to have a better experience next time we visit.

My husband got the Birria tacos and consume. I had those last time he had them this time they are amazing super flavorful. I switched it up this time and got the enchilada trio. When they walked up with the plate I was in shock the plate was three times the size of my head. Those may have been the best enchiladas I've ever had. I'm very picky with my sauces. Trying enchiladas are always a staple for me that determines a restaurant for me. I usually like a darker red sauce. It was a little orange and surprisingly very pleasant very flavorful first time I've ever liked an orange sauce. The creamy white sauce was so flavorful and might've been my favorite enchilada. I've never been a green sauce girly but there's is absolutely delicious. The rice was a little bland for me but the beans were delicious. Our service was very attentive and food came out quick. I love the ambience there. Everything is wood lots of things to look at very laid-back and very welcominga bit western too . I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in town at Payson!
