I thought fish and chips with one side. I got fish with 1 side. I also got the medium, but it came with just 3 pieces of fish, average size. I could have clarified at the counter, but I didn't. Besides the food, the atmosphere was pretty cool and the staff was very friendly. I would just suggest you make sure you know what you are getting. Cheers!

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.

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.
