We read about this place in BOOTS AND BURGERS; so after our morning hike in Payson we decided to…read moregive it a try. It did not disappoint!! The burger was big, juicy and delicious!! Service was good and quick. Staff was friendly. The restaurant is clean, roomy and open. It has a western theme and decorated appropriately. I definitely recommend you check this place out!!

This might be slightly unfair based on what I ordered…read more First, service. Below average. Setting and ambience. Awesome. Philly cheesesteak. Well below average in quality and quantity. If I order potato salad I don't expect to get it from a gallon Costco container. But, my wife's burger looked amazing and seems to be a very good option for gluten free folks.

Stopped for the fish Fry and the place was fairly busy. Heard the fish Fry was good. Given a small…read moretable for two next to the bar - very noisy. Fish was OK and sweet potato fries OK.

We told her we were just having cocktails and she sat us in her section. Within minutes, our cocktails arrived. We asked if she'd hate us if we ordered appetizers. She sat at our table, took the order and made us laugh the whole time. The line was out the door by the time we left but Jamie just kept smiling. The food service industry needs more Jamies!

Food: outstanding...had the sampler bbq plate (serves 2) and every single meat was top notch. It also comes with a taste of EVERY side they serve and they were all very good. Excellent value.

Ambience was "country mountain cottage" with clean, new-feeling booths and seating; outdoor patio seating and an inviting bar area. No doubt about going back here!

Sat outside to enjoy the evening. The food was very good. We tried their cheese curds, Bianco Pizza, and the Rim Country Chicken Sandwich. It was all well made and tasted great! They have a bar with a few draft selections available. Solid HH menu. Our server was fantastic and had excellent recommendations since it was our first time. If you're looking for a family friendly spot to have a good meal, here's your sign!

I never thought I'd find an amazing fish and chips spot in AZ. Mike's Fish & Chips were the best I…read morehad in a long time. My husband and I ordered a basket to share and added a crab cake. The fish was incredible - fried to perfection. The inside was super tender, flakey, and soft. Even the fries were delicious! I was impressed with the crab cake as well. I wasn't craving fish & chips when I arrived, but it definitely hit the spot.

Food is cooked right out front of us , to order. Fish has always been fresh, fries good, shrimp okay. Special request is the fried mushrooms. Seafood isn't cheap anywhere, but they don't overdo it here. For decent fish& chips, far from the ocean, this place is pretty good!

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.

It was good, but not great--and I really think it has the potential to be great, so I'm open to…read moregiving it another chance. 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 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.

Music played but we could talk to each other comfortably. Highly recommend this modestly priced restaurant.

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. They're also very accommodating. If you want a half order, we absolutely loved that this way we could try a couple things each something sweet, something savory., they're more than happy to work with you. 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!
