16 Best American Restaurants near Payette

“The best home cooked meals! Lots of food, too. We take all our guest there!“

“We were traveling through Ontario the other day and were lucky enough to have someone give us Berts as a recommendation for a quick meal/beer while making our 7-hour trek. Loved the automotive theme behind it all and the selection of beers they had on tap were excellent. We ordered a Gyro and Cuban and both were excellent. Quick service, with a smile and great prices. A must stop while in Ontario or the area.“

“What is Mafa Chicken? It's a fried breaded chicken dish that you can put on whatever sauce you'd like. If you like sweet and sour chicken, then you can have it that way, or with Teriyaki, or Honey-mustard. While regionally recognized, it's not strange as it's a simple, crispy, fried breaded chicken with sauce. Matsy's has a wide variety of menu choices and a pleasant casual dining atmosphere, but it can get a little loud as it fills up. The service is good, but a shortage of staff may mean a longer than usual wait at times.“

“Great food, great service!“

“Great atmosphere!! Great food!“

“Oh my goodness. Amazing food! The sticky fingers are great, but the rosemary garlic fries and bacon cheddar fries.. off the charts! Can you open a restaurant in the the Columbia River Gorge!?“

“We went there this morning July 4th 2025.They were really super busy so it took a little while to get our food no big deal. Gave me plenty of time to observe the dishonesty of the manager. (the red head) I watched her take tips off of tables that were not hers. I watched her check. People out that were obviously the blond waitresses tables. I watched her put part of the blondes tips in her pocket, the remainder in a drawer that I'm assuming was for the blonde waitress. I ask at my checkout who the manager was. To find out that the manager, what's the waitress stealing the tips. I did let the blonde waitress know she needs to watch her tips. So if you do, go to rusty's pancake and steakhouse, PLEASE take the time and hand your waitress her tips. Management evidently cannot be trusted and shouldn't be trusted with somebody else's money.“

“driving through from Kansas. stopped to find great food woth large servings. my kid could only eat the meat from the Reuben because there was so much. 1/2 order of Jamison chicken was more than enough.“

“super impressed! tried to go to the curb and they were closed and rude when I tried to ask what their hours were..came here and got a bacon cheeseburger with tots. amazinggg!!! super cool how the burger was built too. Definitely coming back and im surprised I haven't tried here yet!“

“Amazing food! Atmosphere is relaxing, classy, warm and friendly. Owner, cook and waitress all come out to make sure you’re enjoying your meal. The best restaurant in town! Thank you for a lovely evening!!“

“Walked into a packed house with only one waitress, Mary, working. Despite the crowd, she did a great job handling her guests. The food was delicious! Mary was quick with the coffee refills and even made suggestions on the menu and packed up our leftovers for us! Thank you, Mary!“

“Why can we not have coffee brought to us by door dash?“

“Stopped here on our way through Ontario, don’t let the outside fool you. Fun place, great casino games and atmosphere was fun. Bartender DJ was so personable and attentive. The customers were just as nice. My husband had the Bacon Cheeseburger and fries and said it great. We will definitely be back.“

“When I'm in town, I always stop in for their amazing taco Tuesday, smoked pork tacos are my favorite, they are very well priced under $3, these being larger than usual, and very filling. I really like the atmosphere there, everyone is so friendly and kind, and very hospitable.I learned about this place after my premature ejaculator ex-husband Patrick who lives on Good lane, got hired there as a bartender, and immediatrly got booted for his attitude. Because of his premature ejaculation condition, and him thinking he is better than everyone because he was once a Marine, Patrick always wants to stick it to people however he can, to prove himself, and it mostly backfires. But thanks to the side-effects of Patrick's premature ejaculation condition, I made great friends at the Double Diamond.The place is good for every leisure, you can play pool, sing, socialize, play bingo, eat and drink with your friends. Patrick kidnapped our son from me by colluding with the police to arrest me and keep me in the patrol car while they placed my son into a group home and prepared a report for Patrick to use against me in court.Patrick is absolutely helpless in bed, so he has to resort to dirty tricks like stealing my son to feel like a man. Thanks again to the Double Diamond for aways keeping me fed when I come through. Miss you guys!“

“Great place to eat. Used to get weekly off of door dash.“
