19 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Payson

“A few years back my traveling girlfriends were driving thru Payson after a fun filled weekend. They needed their coffee fix - me I’ll get a tea (not a coffee lover). We happened to find this off the beaten track coffee shop that I am sure the locals pretty much know about. We just recently took a day trip again and stopped in. Two coffees and a smoothie for me. We sat and watched the end of the eclipse and enjoyed the patio! Common Grounds is Payson’s little gem! This beats any franchise coffee shop I’ve enjoyed.“

“As always - great food, environment and most especially always awesome service. Our server Rae was fun, attention to detail and made our experience the best. She represents what Macky’s Grill is all about. Thank you for another great meal!“

“We stumbled on this restaurant at night after spending the day exploring the Mogollon Rim, and I am so glad we did. It is a small clean boutique restaurant with amazing food and great service.“

“Our first visit today. Nice drive and nice scenery. The owner was awesome and very helpful on making selections. If you like to drive to the middle of no where up in the mountains this place is for you. Fiancé loved the mead and I like the seltzer style. Great people and great location. They also have games for the kiddos.“

“My wife and I stopped by after hiking nearby. The food and service were great. Cheeseburgers were very good. We talked to the owner and mentioned we read these reviews. He was genuinely appreciative that we stopped because of the great reveiws.“

“You can’t beat the atmosphere of this charming yet lively spot! I took a lovely walk here from my lodgings down the road for dinner on a weekend and enjoyed the live music and evening ambiance. The homemade macaroni & cheese was creamy, the noodles “al dente” and the cheese was perfectly balanced. The chili was so comforting! It’s the kind of delicious chili that reminds you of grandma’s kitchen on a cold day. I loved it so much I came back for their nachos the next day for lunch because they make it with their homemade chili. And the nachos? Also amazing!“

“Ended up driving this way from Roosevelt lake up to the rim because of a fire restriction. Drive from the. Alley was much longer, but the small oasis of Jake’s Corner was a great place to stop, have a snack and a drink, before heading further up to cooler weather. Staff were great and attentive. Looks like it is busy when the heat is not so intense so people ride their motorcycles up there. Take a dollar bill and write something on it and staple it to the ceiling or walls to commemorate your visit. We did!“

“We stopped by for a cold beverage through Payson on our way back to NM. Our server was so very friendly and patient as she explained the differences between possible choices. She made recommendations and helped us select our menu options.
Our selected drinks were very delicious and confirmed our server's explanations and descriptions and taste!!!
We used the walk up window and were able to visit briefly with other patrons, getting their wisdom and experience for potential future selections!!“

“Delicious lightly breaded chicken breadts and the honey biscuits are sooo good!! Flaky and smothered in honey and butter.
The staff will get you what you need, but don't expect much conversation about options. This chicken spot is tucked in the back of a gas station, with limited seating and the liquor wall right behind the tables, which does bother me, but my granddaughter had a lot of questions.
Chicken was juicy and hot, service wasn't bad, but wasn't stellar, location was convenient in town, indoor seating was clean and came with a conversation wall.“
