Fish & Chips (Friday's special)
Jann L.

We tried Tiny's Family Restaurant while visiting friends in Payson. We arrived & promptly seated, we arrived just after opening for dinner. Our server was extremely polite & allowed us plenty of time to make decisions. The atmosphere was perfect especially since it was early enough not to have a lot of people around. Our friends ordered the broasted chicken & fish n chips while hubby & I shared the porterhouse. The clam chowder (soup of the day) was tasty but could have had more clams/clam flavor (personal opinion) hubby's steak was small in size (more like a breakfast steak rather than a dinner) especially for it being almost $30, but really was perfectly cooked & seasoned. A typical serving size of a Porterhouse is close to 24 ounces & can serve 2 people (our previous experiences ordering this cut of meat a various restaurants across the country) No complaints regarding the chicken (moist & delicious seasoning) & fish (excellent) dinners. According to those enjoying them, they were perfectly cooked, tasty & exactly what they expected from Tiny's. We truly enjoyed our experience & would eat here again, just won't order the Porterhouse.

Food was amazing our host made recommendations for food and each cup of coffee was given with a smile and heart felt pour. I ordered chorizo and eggs with beans and potatoes. My husband ordered corn beef hash the restaurant was clean and everyone there was greeted and treated like family. I would do back for lunch and dinner another trip well worth the drive.

Oof this place was such a let down. If you are like us and wanted to stop at a local joint before getting into Phoenix this is not the spot. The staff was great and nothing on them, but the food was absolutely terrible. We were a group of 5 and neither of us liked the food. Everything was frozen and heated up. I can't even begin to explain what the food was like, but just look at my pictures. We had burgers and the crispy chicken sandwich. I highly recommend finding elsewhere.

2+2+2 special - two eggs, two pancakes and choice of meat.

Was a little nervous walking in as there weren't many people eating at this restaurant but it was early on a Monday morning. However, we were greeted immediately and sat at a table right away. The waitress was great. Could tell she had been doing this for many years. She did offer us a special that was not on the menu and both my mom and I ordered that. 2 things stood out to me which are big props to this place. 1. Food came out on warm plates. No one does this. Kept the pancakes and eggs warm. 2. The syrup was warmed. No one does this either!! These 2 things alone blew me away and was worth the 5 star rating. We were in and out in less than 40 minutes. Would definitely recommend for breakfast.

Bread pudding, ice cream and rice pudding.

AMAZING!!! We had asked a local his favorite place to eat and without hesitation he said TINYS! Of course we love local when we travel and not traditional chains. A clean restaurant is important to me as i feel it shows pride in an owner's place. Not just for themselves but their guests as well who choose to spend their $ in your place. Tinys was exceptionally clean. I'm talking walls, fans, floor, every single knickknack on the wall. Now to the food. I consider myself a foodie and love me some home cooking! The food was excellent! Every single bite. I got the corned beef hash and biscuits and gravy and my husband got meatloaf (sorry he ate it so fast i didn't get a photo ) all of it was so good, generous portions and very affordable for the quantity and quality. He got bread pudding for dessert and i got rice pudding. OMG! Wish my stomach was bigger i would have ordered 7 more meals! Thank you Nikki for the beautiful smile and excellent service! Our new go to spot!!!!

What a lovely start to the day!…read more Enjoyed a wholesome American breakfast while entertained by at least 20 small planes coming and going from the Payson Airport. Arrived at 8:30 am on a Saturday, and while the place was busy but we were seated at a corner window quickly. Service was quick and friendly. I enjoyed one of the lightest, fluffy pancakes I've ever had with tasty thick bacon. My husband lauded the hash-browns. The tables are cute - laminated with little cards promoting local business. Bonus: picked up pies to share with our crew for dinner. Enjoyed talking with the baker that was taking a break outside watching the planes. Seems like most of the staff have been working here a long time. I'd say this is a don't miss...

The…read moreoverall experience felt rushed, as though the goal was to get everyone in and out as quickly as possible to free up tables. The waitresses were friendly, but seemed a bit frustrated when we asked for a few extra things, like extra napkins or refills. I understand how hectic it can get during a rush, but it made us hesitant to ask for anything else. Unfortunately, the food was underwhelming. The bacon was hard and dried out, more like it had been reheated one too many times than properly cooked crispy. My over-medium eggs came out over-hard, and one set of utensils was dirty. I didn't bother mentioning the food because the service already felt stretched thin, and we were ready to leave. The seating is also pretty cramped, with tables and chairs packed close together, which added to the feeling of being rushed. It's a shame because the restaurant has a great panoramic view of the runway, but I noticed that hardly anyone seemed to have time to enjoy it or watch the planes taking off and landing. One positive is that the place attracts a real mix of people, from pilots and locals to families, bikers, and tourists. It has the potential to be a fun, unique breakfast spot. Maybe things are more relaxed on a weekday, but between the rushed atmosphere and mediocre food, our experience wasn't enough to bring us back. There are plenty of other good breakfast spots in the area, and while the runway view is a nice bonus, it wasn't enough to make up for the rest of the experience.

McDonald's and Payson Burger King aren't even playing the same sport.

The location was really nice and open with a patio, and the inside was spacious without the tables being packed together. Plenty of room to sit back and actually enjoy your meal. I went with the ribs, and they were smoked just right--exactly how I like them. Honestly, they didn't even need BBQ sauce. I ate some with just the rub and some with sauce, and both ways were delicious. The mashed potatoes were so good I should've ordered more. The mac and cheese wasn't overly creamy, which was perfect for me, and I can't forget the Caesar salad. Really good Caesar salad, and one thing I always appreciate--serve it on a cold plate. This one came out nice and cold and was super fresh. Overall, really good BBQ, great sides, and a nice comfortable location. Definitely worth the stop if you're in Payson.

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.

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.

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.
