Beeline Cafe

The Super Burger is the best value among the burgers. Fun wait staff and in interior. I only wish they accepted credit cards, this place is cash only.

Without a doubt my favorite Mom And Pop place in Payson. Maybe outdated but the food is always spot on and delicious! Servers are friendly and always return to see if you need anything and ask how the food was… worth going! Hope you continue serving that great home cooked food! I will be back…

Love, love the Beeline. There is nothing here that isn’t great. We love coming for breakfast when we’re up from the Valley. The service is always great, as is the food.
We love the corned beef hash and the pancakes. Your beverages are always full and plates brought and removed promptly. This is a mom and pop joint at it’s best.
The only downside is that they don’t accept cards… cash only. There is an atm inside, but having to get cash is not super convenient. But for us, worth it every time.
Beeline café is not full all the time for no reason. It’s the best.

Awesome breakfast. Hot coffee. Great service. All 4 of us had something different and it was alllllllll great. I would drive from
Phoenix just for this breakfast.

Good burger and fries and the service was pleasant. It felt like a locals place and that is what we love when we travel out of town. The inside in small but clean. They do not take cards so we had to get cash from the ATM. It is kind of odd that even a small family owned restaurant isn’t able to take cards and if we hadn’t read the small sign we would have had no idea. For both of us to get a burger, fries and drink it was about $ 20 so average price.

They do not accept credit or debit cards, be aware. They have a bank machine to get money out of, with a fee. This issue makes it difficult for those unaware and I feel strongly reflects as a customer service issue.
That said ~ is a good breakfast, small venue, has specials and prices are very reasonable.

We enjoy family owned restaurants, especially with a long history. But we were not happy with this one. We came in for a early dinner after traveling 9 hrs. So we were hungry tired and wet from the rain.
The inside is alot smaller than we thought. With low ceiling and small booths and small restrooms. Our waitress wasnt very professional and forgot several basic items. She wasnt busy. She was just standing behind the counter staring out the front window. We had to grab her attention a few times for more water ice tea napkins and dessert.
The menu wasnt great either. When we got our food we were not impressed. Chicken fried steak was paper thin and burnt on the edges. It tasted freezer burn. The gravy was very good though. Mash potatos were good too. Veggies tasted canned. Soup was way to salty
The cherry pie wasnt good either. It tasted old. The prices were way too high for a diner. Our bill for 2 people was 36.00 and they only take cash or check. No cards
So we had to use the atm they had in the restaurant to get cash for our meal. Very odd.
I was hoping this place would be great but unfortunately it wasnt.

Love this little place! Food is always fabulous as is the customer service. We always try to stop here when we pass thru Payson!

My parents live in Payton. Every time we drive up there, we drove by and I think, «I want to try this sometime.» Well, I did today. Great little diner like Restaruant. Got thrashing bacon cheeseburger and fries. Everything tastes very fresh and homey. The pie looked good, but I was too full. Will save for next time. Great little find.

Our family loves to go camping in Payson every fall and the Beeline café is always our spot for breakfast. It is a small little mom and pop diner and the seats fill up quick in the morning so its always best to get there bright and early. I can’t rave enough about their french toast! It is light and fluffy and has the perfect melt in your mouth taste. My kids inhaled their pancakes and my husband did the same with his very large country fried steak. We had hot coacoa and coffee which were tasty too. I really like there biscuits and gravy as well as the hash browns which are massive. Come hungry because this place gives you enough delicious food to feed a small army :)

Great diner. Stopped for burgers on our way from Phoenix to Holbrook.
Perfect patty melt on rye with Swiss cheese.
Fat onion rings lightly breaded and crisp.
Thickest strawberry shake I’ve ever had. And it was delicious!

Hmmm, love good local diners & after reading many of the previous reviews, thought we’d found a diner still making food from scratch! Well, maybe the food doesn’t come out of a can, but it’s much more underwhelming than excellent…
We had dinner; lemon-​pepper chicken & fried chicken. The tomato rice soup was ok, probably homemade but no flavor. A little black pepper helped… The baby carrots were overcooked, soggy & bland… The chicken breast was cooked well but no lemon flavor whatsoever, a little black pepper on it but pretty blah… The fried chicken was overcooked, bland & also mediocre.
We heard from everyone that their pie was homemade & delicious! Well, if anything could save this diner & meal, would be to finish it off with some great pie, eh?
I’d had enough disappointment for the evening & didn’t want to waste the calories or wheat on this place, but my wife was brave & ordered the cherry pie. Well, it wasn’t terrible, but was far from «the best pie» I’d ever had!
Too bad, love supporting local good eats but wouldn’t come back. Fargos restaurant was a very good meal, dessert and very tasty — would definitely go there instead (pricier but a very good value).

If you want a huge breakfast this is the place to go, huge portions!

Pretty cool diner with yummy yummy pie. I got the Rueben and asked for turkey instead of corned beef and it was perfect. The bread was nice and toasty not to much meat, not to much 1000, not to much sauerkraut. Fries arn’t fried in dirty grease and I also tried the coleslaw which is made from scratch. My aunt said the coffee is good but the pie had a lot of jelly in it, either way pie was good and you can’t beat the side of the road pie eating diner.

I love the Beeline. My brother and I used to stop in here back in the day. Now, we both bring our kids here whenever we’re in Payson.
After a serious hike or rock-​climbing session, this is the perfect place to refuel. If you don’t expect the décor to be 5-​star and the food to be anything «fancy,» you won’t be disappointed.
Have cash on hand. No credit, debit, or checks.

From reading the reviews, I was excited to try the pie, but boy was I in for a surprise. The breakfast was okay, nothing remarkable and I’ve certainly had better.
Overall though, this place was dirty and old. The bathroom was overflowing and looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in months. I do not recommend stopping here.

This breakfast was so cheap! I got 3 eggs, 3 pancakes and bacon for under $ 8. The people who work there are so nice and serve quickly. The town is so small and quiet so I am assuming a lot of people there are regulars. The bathroom was also very clean!
The parking is a bit limited, but I guess that’s what you get when the place is as small as this.

WARNING! No breakfast after 11am.
Got in the door at 11:10 on a Sunday morning. Got a table 10 min later. Sat down and the drink lady asked what to drink. The gf said coffee and I said coffee and water with no ice and… Before I finished my sentence with «no lemon» she walked away. That’s right, she walked away mid-​sentence. Of course, she delivered my water WITH lemon.
We picked our breakfasts from the breakfast menu we were given.
The waitress came over to the table next to us and asked if they wanted separate checks. They said «yes» And she took their order.
Minutes later she came to our table and we ordered our breakfast. She said we had the wrong menu, took it from us and returned with a menu with no breakfast on it. She said breakfast was over. We wanted breakfast (it was 11 am on Sunday morning fer chrise sakes) so we got up to leave.
As we passed the ladies who wanted separate tickets, there were getting their breakfasts delivered to their table!
We complained that we were given breakfast menus and sat and waited to order, but they said they couldn’t do breakfast even though they made a mistake.
We went around the corner to the 260 Café (after consulting Unilocal) and had a marvelous breakfast.

I was driving through town when I figured this would be a good place to stop at for some good comfort food. I wasn’t disappointed with the yummy pork chops, creamy mashed potatoes, delicious soup, and small town friendly service. Most of the patrons there seemed to be regulars as they were engaged in conversations with other local patrons and the staff at the place. It’s nothing fancy, but they have good food, at fair prices, and the piece of pie I took home with me was gobbled up quickly.

Waffles with Strawberries, extra whip cream, 2 Sausages or Bacon, & 2 Eggs over Medium for $ 4.95??? DEAL.
This quaint place is Packed but they are SO speedy with their food that they are able to keep the masses churning right on through. It’s all pretty standard– BUT they come out ‘as ordered’ and promptly, which makes me a Happy ‘lil camper!
Some of the staff is… interesting. They are definitely not allowed to do any multi-​tasking… you just hope that they didn’t have anything to do with the preparation of your food ~ And Ignorance is Bliss!
Beeline has been around for A LONG TIME. There is a very interesting history regarding the development and success of this Café on the front page of their menu.
I could tell it to you, but they’d prefer if you came on in and read it yourself :)
