Ole Blue
Christina Z.

Good spot for a burger if you're looking for a pub vibe or stopping in for lunch. There's a classic style burger and multiple specialty burger options - all come with your choice of fries, coleslaw, macaroni salad, or potato salad or an up charge for sweet potato fries, onion rings, or side salad. I had the Tavern classic which comes with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion. My husband had the Ole Blue which comes with blue cheese, bacon, and caramelized onions. Both burgers had a nice grilled char to them. The fries were pretty good as well. Recommend stopping by if you're wanting to grab a burger in the area.

There aren't many choices for food in Pine, but fortunately this is one of them. I've been here several times and the food and drinks are always good. The service is also super friendly and when it's warm enough the patio is dog friendly. I don't even have a preference to recommend or any to avoid because I've liked it all.

We've been coming here for years and have always had a great experience. Service is great. Ambiance is rustic modern. The food is so good. Everything we've tried. No complaint. One of our favorite places in Pine.

Wings
Allison C.

Great service, ambiance, and food! 10/10 would recommend the wings. The pulled pork sandwich was also delicious. Don't forget the sweet potato fries!

PBJ Burger

Our server Tyler was great. Seemed like he was the only one serving all the tables, but he was quick and made sure our drinks were full during the 40 minute wait for food. It was worth the wait though, some of the best burgers we've ever had! I got the PBJ - love the peanut butter. Jelly and bacon combo. I did take the lettuce, onion, and tomato off. I like those toppings but not on this burger. The French fries were incredible and so was the buttermilk ranch. My husband got the Cowboy and he really liked it.

My friend enjoys the fish and chips. My BLT had a good amount of bacon, but I prefer hot bacon since the contrast of hot bacon and cold T&L is part of the appeal. Also disliked being charged more than what is on the menu ($15 on menu and $17 on my bill). To go cobbler tasted good when warmed, but seemed to be the last scoop and NOT visually appealing.

Tavern Burger with onion rings
Katie R.

Solid bar food. We liked the deviled eggs (too spicy for my kiddo). The Pine French dip was good. I had a bite of the Tavern Burger and it was a solid burger. I'd skip the onion rings next time - the panko breading was too heavy for me. I was also disappointed that the Bloody Mary didn't come with bacon (even thought it says that on the menu). All in all, I'd go again.

Cowboy Burger
Maria M.

Wonderful place! Delicious burgers, fries and their nachos were delicious and large portions. Service was very quick. The staff were friendly. This is a place where you definitely want to stop at if you are in the neighborhood.

Sunday 17 Nov. 2024 Pinewood Tavern is OPEN, all seven day too! Haven't been in to eat since my last time there merited only two stars. I'm looking forward to going over for dinner later: I hope the new ownership's menu - and food ! - will be great and delicious. I can't post a review because Yelp says closed.

Pulled pork sandwich with onion rings. Both amazing. Best onion rings I've had. Ranch great too.
Cris N.

Pastrami sandwich is fantastic. Fries great. Wings crispy. Blue cheese great. Reasonable prices. Open 7 days now with new owners which is super smart.

Gotta give props to…read morea friend of the family who told us that Old Country Inn, located in Pine, AZ, made the best pizza she had ever tasted. Couldn't agree more. My wife and I spent a week in the Payson area and we wanted to enjoy some really good food, so the Old Country Inn was on our radar. Pine is a unique town with a lot of natural beauty, so we sat on the patio. The highway was busy, but that didn't matter because it was a gorgeous day. Our server Joyce was great. She made recommendations and helped us select the Burrata Pie based on her description. It did not disappoint. I wish I had taken a photo of the whole pizza before we ate the entire thing. Several things stood out. The crust is soooooo good. The char from the wood-fired oven was perfect. The pepperoni was also the best I've ever tried. Now add the dollops of Burrata Cheese, hot honey, fresh basil, and cracked pepper. Best. Pizza. Ever! I've enjoyed the numerous varieties of pizza that are available. And I've eaten at that famous one in Phoenix. Sorry, but I would choose the pie that requires a four-hour round trip over the local fav. Make the drive and you won't be disappointed!

The reason I rated so low is due to the Cons outweighing the pros!! Cons: in a matter of sitting at the bar for 5 minutes, I observed a bartender (Carol) that was incredibly rude to not just one but several other customers. She was verbally aggressive and makes it very clear that she does not enjoy her job or being around customers any longer (if ever). The attitude made the entire side of the bar extremely uncomfortable and everyone agreed that they will not be going back when passing back through. The owner should really look into the matter because she is single handily pushing the customers and profits out the door (if the owner is even concerned). She gets mad over the music selected from the juke box and does not think twice before making snarky comments to paying customers. The Cons are unfortunate and maybe something will change one day and we'll all be more excited to go back for great food and fun memories!

One of us had chicken with lemon sauce. The two pasta for calamari, spaghetti, and Bolognese sauce with fettuccine. We had bone marrow to start. The bone marrow was teaming with parsley and raw onion. After scraping it off, it was delicious if very little for the price. That was one of the better things we had. The chicken with lemon sauce was soggy, and it was supposed to be breaded and crispy. The pasta noodles that came with it had Parmesan on them and oil but not much else. The price did not reflect what we got. The Bolognese sauce was good, but the fettuccine noodles were so soft too soft And the calamari spaghetti was probably something that should've been sent back because it was extremely fishy. I've never had fishy calamari. My son's hazelnut cream cake was OK and my cannoli was OK even if the ricotta tasted like cream cheese and it's a very small cannoli for nine dollars. My son's strawberry lemonade was good. The espresso martinis, whip cream, and without cream for both overly sweet, but reasonably priced. I had a taste of the only Kiante they sold by the glass, and it was not something I would ever drink it lacked any type of structure or body to the wine. All in all the $270 bill was not reflected in the food that we received. We really wanted to like this place but we're not sure that we'll be back. I would rather go to Duzas or Fargos.
