    Tri tip sandwich- excellent!
    Marisa F.

    Great place to stop and grab a bite. I really enjoyed their trip tip sandwich, coleslaw, and side salad. Friendly service, clean restrooms, good music, entertaining shows on tv.

    Wow wow wow! What an amazing little spot! My roommate and I decided to make a day trip up here with the dogs and I can't rave enough about this place. Server was so extremely welcoming and sweet. Huge dog friendly patio with live music starting in the summer time. We got the chili dog special with sweet potato fries and the honey hot chicken wings. Wings were phenomenal! Best blue cheese dressing I have probably ever had! We will absolutely be back!

    Vodka cran

    My first experience here while visiting my parents was so fun. Everyone knew each other, everyone around us was so kind to me and my parents. The owner himself sat and chatted with us. I ordered a lettuce wrapped cheeseburger so I could eat more of the sweet potato fries (my favorite cheat meal ever) and when I say that these fries were the best I've ever had. The burger itself was fantastic, whatever sauce they use is a perfect fit. I apologize to the bartender for stuffing my face in such an inhumane manner And girl your vodka cran drinks were also the best! The bar itself was perfectly lit, roomy, comfortable for families too. I'll definitely be asking my parents to bring me back!

    Yes, it's worth the wait!!…read more I finally did it. After what feels like several geological eras, multiple decades, and approximately a billion years of living in Arizona, I finally stopped at Diamond Point Shadow Steakhouse. Every single time I'd drive by, one of two things would happen: they were closed, or I was in time crunch to my next destination. It became one of those places that lived permanently on my Arizona bucket list. Well, bucket list item officially crossed off! The food was exceptional, the service was outstanding, and now I'm kicking myself for not making the stop years ago. Everything was well worth the wait...literally and figuratively. A word of advice: get there right when they open at 4:00 PM. We intentionally ate an early supper, and I'm glad we did because the place fills up fast. If you show up later, be prepared to wait. That said, after finally experiencing it for myself, I'd say it's worth the wait either way. Some things in life don't live up to the hype. Diamond Point Shadow Steakhouse does. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to figure out why I waited half my lifetime to stop here.

    We planned a Mother's Day/60th Birthday dinner in our new town. The restaurant came hightly…read morerecommended. After we were seated someone came around with a dessert tray showing us the desserts that were being offered complimentary for mothers day. Yah! We ordered an Old Fashioned and a Vodka Sour cocktail while were were perusing the menu since we hadn't been there before. The waitress was cute and kind and trying to do a good job. Mind you, the restaurant was not at capacity, nor was there a wait to get in. Our drinks came and they brought me a manhattan (not an old fashioned) with no ice and the cocktail cherry and orange wedge was put in my husbands Vodka sour ‍ ...ok they were a little confused at the bar. No problem. The server decided to bring me some cherries (maraschino, not cocktail) to make up for it (thanks but not the issue) Next we ordered dinner with our salads and they were delivered to the opposite person. Which isn't a big deal but there are only 2 people at our table. Dinner was fine he ordered a ribeye w/rice pilaf and I ordered the Barramundi with rice pilaf. The fish was nice, I'd never had it before and the ribeye was ok, nothing spectacular. Then the complimentary Mother's Day Dessert choice I made was creme brûlée as it's my favorite. Well it wasn't the dessert they walked around the restaurant advertising, it was a tiny little cup but as the server said "at least it's free" And boom, here comes the bill....we were charged full price for the complimentary Mother's Day dessert. And, we didn't notice until after we had paid the bill. Now, mind you the server was tipped based on the check total. When it was brought to her attention she tells us that we can either have a restaurant credit, or return the whole bill and charge us again but the refund of the bill would take 3 days. We told her to just take care of us next time since we are new to the area and hope to have a better experience next time we visit.

    Diamond Point Shadows - They said it was so busy that they probably couldn't charge the outside of our steaks. This is what it looks like on the inside

    What a great find this place was! Usually when we visit Payson we eat at either Mackey's or Fargo's…read morebut I had to stop at the Tesla charger and this place is located in the same plaza so we stopped in for a bite to eat while the car was charging. 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.
