Crosswinds Restaurant is one of those places that’s more about the experience than just the food. The first time I came here, I noticed a few people flying in on small planes just to grab breakfast and their famous pie. I remember thinking, wow, I need to do this at least once in my life. A few months later, that actually happened. A pilot friend suggested we go for it, so we rented a plane from Mesa Airport and flew up to Payson just for breakfast and pie. Honestly, one of the coolest experiences I’ve ever had. My friends were all like, everyone should do this once. The pie totally lived up to the hype. It was so good that I brought one back for my coworkers and they loved it too. I’ve been telling this story to pretty much anyone who’s tried the pie since. Yeah, it’s a pretty expensi

Great diner right on the airport. Planes fly in to eat, buy a pie and leave. My breakfast was delicious.

Oh my goodness!! What a fabulous restaurant with DELICIOUS food for both breakfast and lunch!! We’re visiting Payson and have been twice a week already! For breakfast we had the Western Omelette and got hash browns (added onions) and a pancake. WOW! The omelette was fantastic and the hash browns were crispy and delicious! The pancake was huge and very tasty. Simple but WONDERFUL. We will definitely be back to try more of the omelettes too! The menu looks great. For lunch we had a Ground Beef Dinner and a Grilled Ham & Cheese on Sourdough. They were both fantastic. And even better was the sample they gave us for Fried Fish! It’s NOT on the menu but they have an All You Can Eat Fish Fry on Fridays. So we will definitely be back for that!! The view is beautiful. The restaurant is at the Payso

Had a good time flying in the Bell from Glendale Airport for breakfast at the Crosswinds. The food, while being breakfast, was prepared very well.
