    Lovely café with super chill servers. We entered standing awkwardly by the entrance because it was busy, but they made us feel acknowledged right away, which was nice. Scott (if I remember his name correctly) took our drink orders quickly and answered all our questions. Even though we didn't chat much, talking to him felt like talking with a friend -- very relaxed and no judgment at all. Food was delicious. I especially loved that they have a half sandwich, half soup option -- gives you variety without going overboard on calories.

    Macky's Grill 201 W Main St Payson, AZ July 11, 2025 Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Portion size: 5/5 [[HIGHLIGHT]]Visit: Found a nice little diner well looking for homes in Payson with my girls.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food: For our Lunch we ordered one Curly Joe Burger, and one Original Macky. Both were fresh and came out all within 30 minutes. Service: Dine-In, Service was great and waiter was very healthful made the process easy and the food quality was great and only took 15-30 minutes to prepare our food. Meal cost $32 for nice vacation Lunch.

    Amazing food and great service, as always. Sandwiches weee great with a generous serving of fries. My only "complaint" is we were too full for desert!

    While visiting friends in Payson we tried Macky's Grill (our 1st time) it was wonderful. Our server Delaney was perfectly pleasant. She knew her menu & truly did a great job making sure our experience was enjoyable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We arrived at dinner time so it was kinda busy & the atmosphere was quiet making table conversations easy without yelling.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor was western style with cute holiday window paintings throughout.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our meals were all delicious. Hubby had the ribeye (cooked to a perfect medium rare with delicious seasoning/flavor) with fries, I ordered the half sandwich (turkey) & soup (creamy chicken with peppers-I forgot what it was called but it was delicious) Ed had the chicken wings (spicy deliciousness) & Mary had the Reuben with potato salad (tasty deliciousness) Truly everything was perfect & delicious. Will definitely go back when in the area.

    Chili burger with onions straws very delicious

    It was good -- not great, but good. The food was decent and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the place itself is really clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was such a beautiful day that we sat outside, but both the indoor and outdoor seating areas are very nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The only real downside was the service at the end. We sat for quite a while waiting for our bill, and I finally had to walk up to the front to ask for it. And then... the weirdest part of the whole visit: [[HIGHLIGHT]]one of the employees' boyfriends showed up with her dog. They stood right out front, the dog went to the bathroom right next to a parked car, and they just walked off without picking it up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When I mentioned it to a server on my way out, she sighed and said they've been having issues with that girl. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great atmosphere, decent food -- but definitely some things to clean up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Avocado BLT with side of chile.
    Jim T.

    Stopped here on a bus tour. Great place with lots of choices on a large menu. I had the Avocado BLT with a bowl of chile as my side. My wife ate the veggie wrap. All our food was great. Efficient but not intrusive service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice outdoor seating with indoor as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ample parking. Highly recommended. If we lived here, we would be back ... often. .

    Burger

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place won me over by its home-y feel and welcoming crew, not to mention the food was phenomenal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Every single crew member greeted me with warmth and friendliness, like I was family, and remained consistent to every fellow customer I witnessed coming in. Probably my favorite burger I've ever had, and I do not say that lightly. I was hesitant to try this place because I am not a big "country food" gal, but this place is just different. Food is actually made like a home cooked meal-- like Mommas food- you can taste the love in it. Highly recommend! 10/10

    Coconut and butterscotch pies with ice cream

    Have been in a couple times driving through town and food has been really good! Especially dessert we ordered, took some to go! Kids loved it.

    The Caprese salad was delicious as was the Macky burger. From this perspective, the salad looks huge, but both the burger and the salad.

    We drove up from Queen Creek, Arizona to check out Payson and the surrounding area. We found Macky's on yelp and it looked just like what we were looking for. They have a nice menu with quite a few burgers and sandwiches along with some salads. My husband got the Mackie burger with fries abd I chose the Arizona Caprese salad so we could split the food. The burger was delicious and the meat very flavorful. I like that they grill the buns. We asked for the fries to be crispy and they were. They give you enough french fries for a group of people! Next time, we will ask for half the fries. The salad is very nice and has lots of good flavors. The pico de gallo has a slight kick so I might leave that out next time since I'm a wimp. But it does add a nice additional flavor as does the pesto. We will definitely come back here again the next time we are in Payson.

    Heading back to the heat...one last distraction to keep me in the pines.

    Mediocre food at best. Friendly service, but the food was just okay, and not cheap. Dog friendly patio with plenty of umbrellas.

    I love their lunch! I always order the vegetarian wrap and it's usually great. I went twice this…read moreweek and when I went on Wednesday it was missing the avocado and cheese but I'm so thankful they have a tasty vegetarian option that it won't deter me from going back. I love their sides. The onion rings are the best! Their ice tea is delicious and service is always amazing. The porch is wonderful when the weather is nice. They serve the best lunch in Payson! (I wish they served the vegetarian wrap at dinner!)

    This restaurant missed the mark in so many ways from the very beginning. We asked to be seated…read moreoutside, but were told they weren't seating anyone outdoors at that time. We were seated inside, got our drinks, and then waited about 30 minutes just to place our order. Our server explained that she had been outside taking orders. 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.

    Here's a polished review you can use (with a bit of your voice baked in):…read more Stopped at Verde Brewing Company on our way to Flagstaff and it was exactly what we needed. The space has a bit of a warehouse vibe--casual, open, nothing fussy--but the service was friendly, quick, and really welcoming. I had the chicken salad sandwich with dried cranberries, which was fresh and hit that perfect sweet-savory balance. My husband went with a salad and paired it with one of their IPAs, which he said was spot on. All in all, a great, easy stop with good food, solid beer, and no nonsense. We'll definitely keep this one in mind for future drives up north.

We stopped in for a beer after a long day of hiking and thank goodness the beer here is icy cold. It was so refreshing! There were plenty of choices of beer on the menu for the day and we were able to taste a few options before getting a full pour. Our server was very nice and helpful. I ended up having 2 pints of the gold buckle honey lager. All the beers I tasted were fairly light flavored, which was great. Super cold and refreshing. The beers, I definitely enjoyed. We also decided to try some food as well. I noticed their kitchen is a place where they just prep and reheat items, and most things seemed microwaved. I'm sure the food was cooked somewhere but it just wasn't my cup of tea. Other reviewers seem to enjoy, but everything just tasted okay, a little bland, but we ate everything, it just wasn't my favorite. And next time when coming here I would just enjoy some beers because that was great! And staff were friendly.
