    Fish & Chips (Friday's special)
    Jann L.

    We tried Tiny's Family Restaurant while visiting friends in Payson. We arrived & promptly seated, we arrived just after opening for dinner. Our server was extremely polite & allowed us plenty of time to make decisions. The atmosphere was perfect especially since it was early enough not to have a lot of people around. Our friends ordered the broasted chicken & fish n chips while hubby & I shared the porterhouse. The clam chowder (soup of the day) was tasty but could have had more clams/clam flavor (personal opinion) hubby's steak was small in size (more like a breakfast steak rather than a dinner) especially for it being almost $30, but really was perfectly cooked & seasoned. A typical serving size of a Porterhouse is close to 24 ounces & can serve 2 people (our previous experiences ordering this cut of meat a various restaurants across the country) No complaints regarding the chicken (moist & delicious seasoning) & fish (excellent) dinners. According to those enjoying them, they were perfectly cooked, tasty & exactly what they expected from Tiny's. We truly enjoyed our experience & would eat here again, just won't order the Porterhouse.

    Food was amazing our host made recommendations for food and each cup of coffee was given with a smile and heart felt pour. I ordered chorizo and eggs with beans and potatoes. My husband ordered corn beef hash the restaurant was clean and everyone there was greeted and treated like family. I would do back for lunch and dinner another trip well worth the drive.

    2+2+2 special - two eggs, two pancakes and choice of meat.

    Was a little nervous walking in as there weren't many people eating at this restaurant but it was early on a Monday morning. However, we were greeted immediately and sat at a table right away. The waitress was great. Could tell she had been doing this for many years. She did offer us a special that was not on the menu and both my mom and I ordered that. 2 things stood out to me which are big props to this place. 1. Food came out on warm plates. No one does this. Kept the pancakes and eggs warm. 2. The syrup was warmed. No one does this either!! These 2 things alone blew me away and was worth the 5 star rating. We were in and out in less than 40 minutes. Would definitely recommend for breakfast.

    Bread pudding, ice cream and rice pudding.

    AMAZING!!! We had asked a local his favorite place to eat and without hesitation he said TINYS! Of course we love local when we travel and not traditional chains. A clean restaurant is important to me as i feel it shows pride in an owner's place. Not just for themselves but their guests as well who choose to spend their $ in your place. Tinys was exceptionally clean. I'm talking walls, fans, floor, every single knickknack on the wall. Now to the food. I consider myself a foodie and love me some home cooking! The food was excellent! Every single bite. I got the corned beef hash and biscuits and gravy and my husband got meatloaf (sorry he ate it so fast i didn't get a photo ) all of it was so good, generous portions and very affordable for the quantity and quality. He got bread pudding for dessert and i got rice pudding. OMG! Wish my stomach was bigger i would have ordered 7 more meals! Thank you Nikki for the beautiful smile and excellent service! Our new go to spot!!!!

    Oof this place was such a let down. If you are like us and wanted to stop at a local joint before getting into Phoenix this is not the spot. The staff was great and nothing on them, but the food was absolutely terrible. We were a group of 5 and neither of us liked the food. Everything was frozen and heated up. I can't even begin to explain what the food was like, but just look at my pictures. We had burgers and the crispy chicken sandwich. I highly recommend finding elsewhere.

    Loved this place, Nikki the waitress was amazing and our food was hot and tasty. We will definitely be coming back here whenever we travel through payson.

    So called porterhouse steak.

    This was the worst steak I've ever ordered from any place. The nice waitress brought the steak out and asked if it was cooked to perfection. Well, I tried to check...unfortunately, I could barely saw the middle to look. I jokingly asked for a real knife. Bless her heart, she brought me a bigger kitchen knife. Unfortunately, my first five bites were so full of flavorless gristle, I didn't bother eating them. I walked out. I can see why the reviews are so bad.

    We enjoyed Easter Sunday breakfast at Crosswinds. Breakfast is served all day…read more We were seated promptly at a window where we had a great view of the Mogollon Rim and the airport runway, where small planes land and take off. 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.

    Ever since I started flight training, I have been told that Payson has great pie. Now that I'm a…read moreprivate pilot, I decided to fly in from Phoenix with my friend for breakfast and pie. 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.

    Yes, it's worth the wait!!…read more I finally did it. After what feels like several geological eras, multiple decades, and approximately a billion years of living in Arizona, I finally stopped at Diamond Point Shadow Steakhouse. Every single time I'd drive by, one of two things would happen: they were closed, or I was in time crunch to my next destination. It became one of those places that lived permanently on my Arizona bucket list. Well, bucket list item officially crossed off! The food was exceptional, the service was outstanding, and now I'm kicking myself for not making the stop years ago. Everything was well worth the wait...literally and figuratively. A word of advice: get there right when they open at 4:00 PM. We intentionally ate an early supper, and I'm glad we did because the place fills up fast. If you show up later, be prepared to wait. That said, after finally experiencing it for myself, I'd say it's worth the wait either way. Some things in life don't live up to the hype. Diamond Point Shadow Steakhouse does. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to figure out why I waited half my lifetime to stop here.

    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.

    They said it was so busy that they probably couldn't charge the outside of our steaks. This is what it looks like on the inside
