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.

You get 6 for $10, which is a steal. My favorites were the Mexican Lager and Strawberry Blonde. They were delicious! We were impressed with how good the food was! We did the wings, fried green beans, truffle fries, and the Southwestern Smoked Chicken sandwich. Would recommend them all! Everything was fresh and very well made. So good! Only knock was the service. It seems that they're understaffed so there was 1 server for the whole dining area. Not her fault, she was a gem, but long waits.. If you're coming to town, THAT is a excellent choice to visit! Sit outside, enjoy the weather, and have some great food and drinks. We will be back!

Gotta give props to…read morea friend of the family who told us that Old Country Inn, located in Pine, AZ, made the best pizza she had ever tasted. Couldn't agree more. My wife and I spent a week in the Payson area and we wanted to enjoy some really good food, so the Old Country Inn was on our radar. Pine is a unique town with a lot of natural beauty, so we sat on the patio. The highway was busy, but that didn't matter because it was a gorgeous day. Our server Joyce was great. She made recommendations and helped us select the Burrata Pie based on her description. It did not disappoint. I wish I had taken a photo of the whole pizza before we ate the entire thing. Several things stood out. The crust is soooooo good. The char from the wood-fired oven was perfect. The pepperoni was also the best I've ever tried. Now add the dollops of Burrata Cheese, hot honey, fresh basil, and cracked pepper. Best. Pizza. Ever! I've enjoyed the numerous varieties of pizza that are available. And I've eaten at that famous one in Phoenix. Sorry, but I would choose the pie that requires a four-hour round trip over the local fav. Make the drive and you won't be disappointed!

We had the deviled eggs, pulled pork nachos, wings, and a blue cheese burger. It was all perfect! I don't normally like deviled eggs, but there were a few of us & we were sharing everything, so I tried one & discovered I really liked their deviled eggs. I liked the bacon touch they added & the spicy Chipotle mayo sauce was so good. Wings were cooked so nicely...light, nicely seasoned crisp to the outside, tender/juicy inside. Buffalo sauce was really good too. Their pulled pork nachos were amazing with all the layers of flavor. The portion is also huge! We definitely had to take most of it home. The blue cheese burger was perfectly cooked with a really good quality blue cheese. Came with a side salad & the blue cheese dressing was definitely a nice one. All this, plus drinks (soda & wine) for 3 came in under $100, which was also a surprise! Definitely a good place to grab a good, very well cooked dinner in Pine.

I chatted with Jerry for a few minutes, we discussed different things like how wrong Texas style pancake candy BBQ "sauce" is and how anything at any store is pretty much corn syrup & liquid smoke and he told me how he makes his own sauce so I bit and I'm glad I did. My teenage daughter loved it and my wife, who grew up with ribs and BBQ, and even my fussy son could not stop. As I said, I like supporting small business and working in a kitchen I'm learning how far passion takes the flavors. Jerry is Sicilian (they tie their shoes with a FORZA passion.) and I had a feeling those ribs were going to be the best I've had and he told me and he was right, they are. Search this guy out. I dunno if he's always at the TSC on saturdays or if he floats around (yeah, I'm a "flatlander" even though I've had a cabin on the rim for a decade) Anyway ... you Mogollon monsters got something good going there with Jerry. Keep him busy or I will, and I'LL BRING MY FRIENDS TO FOUL UP TRAFFIC EVEN MORE! Thank you Jerry, you have some great food there.
