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.“

“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.“

“We love this place! A family favorite! Awesome staff, delicious menu full of variety! Can’t recommend this place enough!“

“If you’re looking for a great comfort foods restaurant with an outdoor patio for the pups this is the place to go. Go to relax….service is very slow but everyone was super nice. Also, only sit on the outdoor patio if you don’t mind the skeeters and flies. Once monsoon season passes that issue will be resolved! Great first time visit just didn’t get to eat much because the flies were so bad.“

“Awesome food grate place to eat“

“This place is adorable! The owner was so kind and explained all the options. They make all the mead with real fruit !! The blackberries are even picked locally! It’s just a fun place to visit and a beautiful drive to get there !!“

“I like the fish aquarium, knowing that's cool,!!!!;and the staff ! serves good food !!!!!!“

“Great food and superb service.Patio was packed and only had one server-Baylee, taking the orders and serving the food. Despite some rude patrons, she managed to keep everyone happy! Kudos to Baylee.“

“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.“

“This shop offers delicious baked goods, unique gifts, antiques, jewelry and more! Fantastic staff members who are friendly and welcoming!!!“

“Really enjoyed our first visit to Fargos Steakhouse. My husband had the prime rib, served every night! Highly recommend this place and it deserves its#1 rating in Payson.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“T- our bartender was the best! Very friendly, professional,hard working and helpful!!!! We will be back just to see her!!“

“We were camping near by and went in for dinner. Everything was very good! I got the new york steak and it was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. The cheesy grits were awesome. Wife had the chicken fried steak which was also really good. We also ordered a pizza to take back to camp and that was top tier, probably a Portnoy 8.3, Lol. Staff was super nice and inviting. If you find yourself in the area camping or anything else, I definitely recommend stopping in here for a bite to eat. I'll be back next time we camp the area for sure!!“

“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.“
