    With a name like Delicious Cafe, the place is either going to great and live up to it, or a tragic comedy of poor naming convention. I'm very happy to report it was in fact delicious! I came in about an hour before closing. Decided to do a last minute trip to Payson to hike. But I needed lunch, was pretty hungry. I had not looked at the menu before arrival as I sometimes do so I felt a bit rushed with my decision making cause I had my fur baby Flynn waiting outside, but I fully enjoyed what I had. Lunch menu was available, I would like to come back for breakfast next time. I opted for the Dipper sandwich (roast beef, Swiss, onion and au jus). Served with seasoned potato wedges. It was very tasty. I would have liked the potatoes a bit more cooked and crispy, but still good. I ate about half of it and had it for leftovers where I toasted the wedges to my liking. Really good leftover as well. They have a bunch of teas! So I had what is sort of strange, an earl grey iced tea. They can make any tea iced. It was good. I love earl grey. The weather was nice, it was drizzling a tiny, bit and they were kind to bring water bowl for Flynn as we sat outside on the small front patio area. I'll definitely be back! Great random find! Also, their menu says gluten free options for my GF friends :)

    Awesome Greek salad, wonderful hospitality, delicious fresh brewed teas

    WHAT A TREASURE! We dropped in here on the way from Phoenix to Tonto Natural Bridge State Park. Unlike the other greasy spoons everywhere around, this place had an excellent menu with diverse choices - including several healthy ones. I got a really good Greek Salad. The sandwiches were great too. Another little highlight was all the teas the place offered - they have a really really good lavender one that we liked so much, we bought loose leaf so we could make our own. The team here was super friendly as well, and while they had only 2 people serving a full house, they made everyone feel welcomed and happy. What a little GEM of a place!!

    That's a wrap!
    Jamie J.

    What a fantastic spot we found! The service was top notch, just what you would expect from a little local restaurant. The food was served up quickly and the amount we got for the price was incredible. We weren't expecting leftovers, but the wrap was so filling. A few tables outside of you have a pet with you or just want to enjoy the weather, but inside decor was minimal. Again, it was just what you would expect and we loved it!

    Great salad, tea (banana hot tea was delicious) and service. Quaint spot, unassuming but food was delicious! Will be back next time I'm in town.

    We stopped for breakfast on a Sunday, and it was really good! There was a bit of a wait, which is expected considering there's not many options around. The food was really well seasoned, and everything I ordered was correct. The waitress was really friendly, and attentive. I really appreciated all of the options on the menu as well! I would definitely stop by again when visiting Payson.

    Snickerdoodle Coffee

    What a hidden gem for breakfast! Delicious Cafe is tucked into a quaint strip mall, but don't be fooled by its lack of advertising. The service and food were very good. If you want a hole-in-the-wall experience where the food's made from scratch, this is it! The interior is cozy and clean, something most hole-in-the-wall establishments lack. The service was phenomenal, our waiter was so informative and friendly. Everything is house-made, including the delicious Snickerdoodle Coffee I had. The food was really good. I tried the Breakfast Montini, their version of a Monte Cristo Sandwich. It was a little too heavy but the house-made cranberry compote helped tone it down. My Dad loved his "Delicious" Breakfast, a yummy traditional breakfast. The service was so kind and you can really tell they put a lot of effort into this establishment. I'd consider coming back next time I'm in Payson!

    Delicious lavender tea
    Krissy H.

    Like 3 1/2 stars because we came in 15 minutes before they were closed but potato soup tasted a little water down and could've been warmer the French dip sandwich good good not great French tip could be amazing if you added a little horseradish and maybe some green or red pepper in it.. potato I just tasted very fresh service was great super sweet and the place was clean. It's in a little strip mall. We will come back and try breakfast. They have a ton of different teas and coffees which absolutely amazing.

    The Breakfast Club
    Marcella G.

    The cute diner is tucked in a plaza and can be driven past. But I'm telling you to stop! You will not be disappointed!! We have been here once before and the food was amazing. Spent our anniversary in Strawberry and had to grab breakfast here on our way out of town. We recognized the same waitress and she is so sweet and great service! My husband ordered The Breakfast Club and I ordered The Breakfast Montini w/ cranberry compote. Both were absolutely delicious!! However the Breakfast Montini was out of this world! The different flavors this sandwich had, had me doing my happy yummy food dance. Give this cafe a shot, you will not regret it!

    Cinnamon roll latte
    Alice L.

    We stopped in payson for some brunch on our way back home. The restaurant was pretty small, but I did really think there needed to be more than one server. The waitress working was fantastic but you could tell that she was spread thinly. The cinnamon roll latte was pretty standard and tasted pretty good. I got an omelette and it was big enough for another meal!!! The eggs were fluffy and filled with lots of toppings!! The potato wedges were flavorful and crispy. Overall, the meal was pretty standard but nothing too special. Would maybe come back for lunch and try a tea - that seems to be their specialty.

    Shared panini
    Leanne M.

    Excellent, super friendly service. They were down a person that that did not stop them hustling to serve everyone Ordered the ham panini and split it between the two of us. It was played so nicely. The sourdough bread was fresh. A nice tasty sandwich that was so good after a morning of hiking The wedges were generous and not greasy.

There's something about starting a day in the mountains with a small-town diner that just feels right. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome. They were especially kind to our daughter, chatting with her and making her feel like she belonged there. As a parent, those little moments don't go unnoticed. The food is classic diner breakfast in the very best way possible. No gimmicks. No unnecessary twists. Just breakfast done well. My wife and I both ordered the biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs, hash browns, and a side of bacon. My daughter went with a waffle topped with whipped cream and strawberry preserves, while my father-in-law also opted for the biscuits and gravy. Everything came out fresh, hot, and exactly how you'd hope a breakfast cooked on a seasoned griddle would. The coffee stayed hot, the service never skipped a beat, and the entire meal felt like the perfect start to a day outdoors. Beeline Cafe isn't trying to reinvent breakfast. It's preserving the kind of local diner experience that's becoming harder and harder to find. It's a local favorite for a reason, and after our visit, I completely understand why.

My husband looked at me and said, "Well, that's nice considering we asked to sit outside." The service continued to be extremely slow. Even after most of the restaurant had cleared out, it still took a long time to get our check. The biggest disappointment was my husband's steak. He ordered it Pittsburgh style and medium rare. As you can see, it was nowhere close. It was well done with no char whatsoever. By the time our server came back to check on us, we were nearly finished eating. They brought out another steak to go and told us, "My manager took a torch to it." Unfortunately, it just tasted like gas instead of having a proper Pittsburgh-style crust. To make matters worse, they didn't offer any discount or remove anything from our bill despite the poor service, the incorrect meal, and the long wait. Overall, this was a very disappointing dining experience, and we have to rethink if we will be returning.

    A TRUE HIDDEN GEM IN PAYSON, AZ!…read more As soon as you walk through the door, it feels like you're walking into your auntie's house. You're treated like family, no matter what time of day you walk in! This was our 2nd time visiting this little gem while passing through Payson, and once again, she was just as special as the first time. This visit was extra special because it was my partner's birthday. There were only three of us, and somehow we ended up having the whole place to ourselves! We arrived about an hour before closing, but that did NOT stop the service or the food from being absolutely excellent. That kind of hospitality is rare these days, and I truly hope this place stays in business FOREVER! I've honestly never had much Thai food before, but EVERYTHING we ordered was delicious! War Wonton Soup: LET ME TELL YOU... this was like LIQUID GOLD! Absolutely incredible, especially after a long day out fishing at the lake. It hit the spot! House Fried Basil Rice :We asked for it spicy, and WOW... SO GOOD! The perfect amount of heat and packed with flavor. Chicken Lo Mein :Another winner! So flavorful and satisfying. And we have to talk about the chili oil and jalapeños on the table... I could've eaten those by themselves! I honestly wish I lived closer because I would be here ALL THE TIME! But if you're driving through Payson, DO NOT DRIVE PAST THIS PLACE! Great food, incredible hospitality, and that feeling of being welcomed like family. This is a MUST-STOP in Payson!
