This place is soo good. The fish is cooked perfectly, it would put England in their place. I'll be bringing friends next time they are in town. read more

The fish was quite good, but the menu is a little confusing. 1-3 pieces for small. 3-6 for medium (or something to that effect), plus a side. I obviously misread the menu. 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! read more

I never thought I'd find an amazing fish and chips spot in AZ. Mike's Fish & Chips were the best I had in a long time. My husband and I ordered a basket to share and added a crab cake. The fish was incredible - fried to perfection. The inside was super tender, flakey, and soft. Even the fries were delicious! I was impressed with the crab cake as well. I wasn't craving fish & chips when I arrived, but it definitely hit the spot. read more

When we visit Payson to see our folks, we pick up lunch to bring over. This place is their usual request. Counter help is always quite friendly. Food is cooked right out front of us , to order. Fish has always been fresh, fries good, shrimp okay. Special request is the fried mushrooms. Seafood isn't cheap anywhere, but they don't overdo it here. For decent fish& chips, far from the ocean, this place is pretty good! read more

My wife and I have eaten lunch twice here and both times have been fantastic!! Fresh fish, tasty hush puppies, and just right french fries. The service was great, any menu questions we had were answered promptly. The kitchen was visible through the order and pick up counters and was clean, as were the bathrooms and dining area. We will definitely be returning. read more

We had shrimp and chips. Delicious! So much better than Pete's in Phoenix. Will definitely be back. Thank you!

Just plain old excellent. Everything is cooked perfectly and has a Pacific Northwest flavors.

Took a day trip up to Payson and happened to stop here for fish and chips. We're so happy we did! There is a nice family running the shop and they even took the time to explain the menu. We had the fish and chips and they were super fresh! The two piece + hush puppies was more than enough for two people. The cannolis are not to be missed! Homemade recipe from their mother and tasted devine. read more

The fried fish was pretty good. Not the best I've had. The tartar sauce was mid. The fish tacos were pretty much ruined by the cocktail sauce they put on. I would ask for it in the side if you think you might like it. Sides: Family said the Cole slaw is the best they've had. Hush puppies (fried corn balls) were okay. The fries were pretty good. The cannolis were mid. Cut little place in side. We're were comfortable enough for a short meal. read more

Clams and cole slaw were good but serving size was skimpy. Tacos were okay but only flavor came from the sauce. Cheese and cabbage add textures but not flavor. Fish was good so has potential to make a great fish taco like Beach House in Phoenix. Fries were good but again skimpy portion. read more

We were driving through Payson, AZ and stopped by Mike's. The ambiance was beautiful inside and cozy, BUT don't let that trick you! We had ordered 4 different dishes. The fried fish and shrimp were really bland. I'm not being dramatic. We also got fish tacos and beef tacos. Likewise as another review had stated, the only flavor came from the "salsa". Except for us, there was no flavor present at all. No flavor or spice in the salsa and no seasoning in the meat. We all had to add a bunch of salt and pepper to our food. I used the sauce provided with the fried shrimp for my tacos. We literally seasoned our food ourselves... Portioning for the fish and chips & shrimp and chips were small for being pricey. PLUS we had to pay a 3% fee for utilizing card as a payment method. We're glad we got to try it. Now we know to not return the next time we're up in Payson. read more

Came in because of the stellar Yelp reviews. Staff was nice and it's a quaint small shop. Portion size, fish and clams, was small and for $15 it's pricey. I'd like to see if the rest of the menu was better than the #3 Combo read more

We stopped around 5:00 PM on a Friday night. My husband and I split a 4 piece fish and chip meal and an order of cannolis for a little under $30. We got our food fresh and very fast! The restaurant was clean and the staff were friendly. Though the food was delicious, my husband and I agreed that it wasn't very much food for the price we paid. We ended up getting about 6 fish pieces and a handful of fries, and I was tempted to order more food after we had finished eating. I wish we could've at least gotten more fries for the amount we paid. read more

We stopped in early for lunch, it was maybe just 11am. Not busy yet, so we were able to order at the counter quickly and grab a table. The place definitely seems like a local favorite, as the next two customers who came in the staff knew their usual orders. Our lunch came up quickly, we got fish tacos and shrimp tacos with chips and coleslaw. Everything was fresh and tasty. We were just in town for the day, but glad we made this our lunch stop. The place was clean and the staff friendly....and of course good food. read more

This is a quaint location that is bigger inside than it appears to be on the outside. The food is tasty. The service is friendly no frills here but you get what you order. We were surprised the crabcakes were pretty good. They're very firm and circular. But they taste very good. I wish they had tartar sauce that came with these. I've had the shrimp tacos, both fried and grilled and they are tasty. The coleslaw is pretty good, but you get a very small portion. The french fries are tasty. My teenage son certainly likes them. My son really likes the fish and chips. read more

Stopped by driving through Payson AZ. The adds, awards, and reviews looked like it was very good. Quite the opposite! My fish was hardly warm, the portions were small for current prices, and the clam chowder tasted like it came out of a can. Not going back! read more

The fish tacos were good. The hush puppies were a bit undercooked. I couldn't finish them. No service to speak of. You pick up your own.

This place is the real deal. I grew j up back east where folks took English style fish and chips seriously. Apparently these folk do too. They are using real cod and the batter is crisped up perfectly. The chips were the same. Super happy and impressed to find this place up in the mountains of Arizona. read more

Stopped in several times for the fish and chips. I must say ver good for sure. My girlfriend is British woman and she said reminds her of home. Try them out and see how good it is. read more

I stopped here while I was in Payson and WOW! The food was exceptional, the staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was perfect. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stop for a bite. I got the #2 which was fried shrimp and fish, with fries - the portion and quality of food was a 10/10! I will be back! Also - I have to throw it out there that the owner was there, and was so nice... she was so involved with her customers. You don't see that very often. read more

We stopped into Mike's about dinnertime on our way to Window Rock. A fish sandwich and a driving break sounded nice about then. There was hardly anyone there. We ordered right away. I admired the quaint decore from the digital ad board to the fish tank, ironic right? My sandwich was out shortly. The sandwich was made with a large deep fried filet lightly battered. It was hot and flaky. It was topped with tartar sauce and lettuce. The fries I got were golden and crispy. Mike's is worth a stop when in town. Good fish, good deal. read more

This continues to be our stop everytime we are in Payson. Kids cannot get enough of the fish and chips. They love looking at the fish tank Pro tip: bring cash! It's not required but saves you some money. read more

Products are consistently great. Workers will do what it takes to satisfy their customers. They have grilled salmon that melts in your mouth. Love the coleslaw. Delicious zucchini, grilled or fried. Also the fried zucchini can be ordered with thin or regular coating. None of the fish is farmed fish. Great big hamburgers and beef tacos. They come up with new items every now and then. Ice Cream and cookie. Their fries are great too. It is better than any fast food place and better price wise. read more

Fish and chips were great. Fun atmosphere, and great home-town people cooking and serving. I will definitely go back.

On a recent day road trip we found ourselves in Payson looking for a place to eat dinner. We saw this place and decided to support a small local business with great reviews, We were not disappointed. Good variety of food including fried & grilled fish, shrimp, oysters, fried mushrooms, zucchini, fish tacos.. fried cheesecake & cannolis. We had the 2pc fried fish with side of Cole slaw & we shared a huge side order of fried zucchini. The fish was flaky and fried nicely, the zucchini came out of someone's prize winning garden it was huge!! Also lightly fried, the order could be shared with two to four people. So glad we stopped by and would definitely recommend. Plenty of indoor seating, small outdoor patio area. Plenty of parking. read more

Fish was ok. Skin and a bone was in one of my pieces. Batter was a little greasy. Serving size was small. Chips/fries were excellent. Nice and crispy and nicely seasoned. Serving size really small though. Hot sauce was great. I wish they had gravy/curry dip options. It would make them very unique. read more

Fish & chips were wonderful crispy &fresh, The service was outstanding we sat outside at the tables on the what looks like a fishing pier (Loved it) weather was great ! Portions were good maybe could've used a few more fries but overall pretty close to perfect, the shrimp were outstanding tasted very fresh. The fish was also outstanding and the oysters were out of this world. !!! All & All I would recommend Mike's fish and chips to any connoisseur of fast food that certainly doesn't taste like fast food !! read more

We have been trying to eat at this local restaurant for a while now and we finally made it. Hubs & I shared this combo. It was just enough for the 2 of us. Nice big chunks of white fish, crispy fries and nice shrimp. The spicy cocktail sauce could use a little more "bite" for my taste. I didn't necessarily like the little containers of malt vinegar. I would have preferred the bottle on the table. But, overall, nice local place & food was hot and delicious. read more
