Dining in Payson
You might think that a guy that looks like me would like to eat out all the time but I don't. I do occasionally get a chance to sample some of our local eateries and here is a list of the ones I can vouch for.
Macky's Grill
This place is one that I could go to many times a week. For years they've been voted the Best in
Payson for many categories. They have a western style decor with carved wooden
seats and cowboy boots all over. They serve steaks, and various special dishes.
I've even had Alaskan King Crab there. They are best known for their burgers and
sandwiches with fries and real ice cream shakes. They can also serve beer and
wine with your meal.
Location: On the East side of the Beeline Hwy at the very south end of Payson. Their's is the first business you see after you pass the casino as you come in to town.
Fargo's Steak House
This
is a combo steak house and bar. You can get a really good steak here. My
wife and I ate here recently for under $75 and we really enjoyed it. The ambiance
is very nice for that special occasion.
Location: On the north side of Hwy 260 across from the Giant Gas station.
Diamond Steak House
This
place has been around for years in the same location because they know how to
satisfy their customers. They serve a pretty good steak with all the fixings that
will leave you satisfied. They have a full bar as well.
Location: They are on Hwy 260 just east of Star Valley on the north side. You cant miss them their building stands all by itself.
Cucina Paradisio
If Italian food is
what you want we have one of the best Italian food restaurants in the state
right here in Payson! These guys started a restaurant in Ahwatukee down in
Phoenix but decided that the small town atmosphere is where they would rather
be. They have a great menu of pastas and pizza that keep the place full during
meal times. Oh yeah bring your appetite cause you wont go home hungry.
Location: They are located on the west side of Hwy 87 north of the main intersection in town. They are across from Ace Hardware.
