About This Place

Nestled along the scenic Beeline Highway in Payson, Arizona, Beeline Cafe stands as a beloved local diner dedicated to serving hearty, home-style breakfast and comfort food that’s both satisfying and soul-warming. This classic American restaurant invites you into a cozy, welcoming atmosphere where the rich aromas of freshly brewed coffee blend seamlessly with the sizzle of eggs and bacon on the griddle, promising a dining experience steeped in tradition and genuine care.

At Beeline Cafe, the menu is a celebration of timeless favorites prepared with a made-from-scratch approach that honors decades of family culinary heritage. Their Cinnamon Roll French Toast is a standout — imagine thick slices of cinnamon roll dipped in egg batter, grilled to a golden crisp on the outside while remaining soft and gooey within. Pair that with crisp bacon and a perfectly cooked egg, and you have a breakfast combo that delights every sense.

Their variety of omelets is equally impressive, from the Denver Omelet loaded with diced ham, bell peppers, and onions, to the Mushroom & Swiss Omelet, brimming with sautéed mushrooms and melty cheese. Each dish showcases fresh, quality ingredients and careful preparation, like the Western Omelet with savory bacon and vibrant peppers, or the Green Chili & Cheese Omelet that infuses a subtle southwestern kick.

For lunch and dinner, Beeline Cafe doesn’t hold back on comforting classics either. The French Dip and Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich tantalize with tender, flavorful meats and melted cheeses, while the Slab of BBQ Ribs and Friday Fish Fry offer hearty options that cater to those craving robust, satisfying flavors. Don’t miss their revered apple and rhubarb pies, especially when served ala mode — a perfect sweet finish highlighted by flaky crusts and luscious fillings that customers cannot stop raving about.

What truly elevates Beeline Cafe beyond just its menu is the heartfelt service and enduring community spirit found within its walls. As longtime patrons attest, from the friendly staff including a cherished server who has been pouring coffee for over three decades, to the genuine smiles and engaging conversations, dining here feels like coming home. Visitors and locals alike appreciate the effortless blend of reliability, warmth, and authentic taste that has defined Beeline Cafe for more than 60 years.

Whether you’re stopping by for a quick coffee and cinnamon French toast, a satisfying omelet, or indulging in a generous portion of ribs or fish & chips, Beeline Cafe delivers on comfort, quality, and a classic diner experience. It’s more than just a meal — it’s a treasured snapshot of Payson’s culinary heart, inviting you to come hungry and leave with a smile.

    Outstanding Breakfast Yummmm 62 Years remaining in the Family Business. The young lady pouring my hot delicious coffee has been there 32 years / this is what makes a trip to Payson so valuable / what a sweetie / we talked about her Moms' paintings / what a treasure / I'll be back with friends and family.

    An Amazing place as I was north bound 87 passing through Payson. I saw the first cafe and tapped my brakes to turn around, then Beeline popped into view. No regrets here beautiful lady’s serving everyone. My Angel was Ms Diane. I had the western omelette, and a real potato cubed and cooked to perfection with peppers and onions.(not frozen chunks pre-seasoned) . Coffee to drink. Had me a piece of made from scratch peach pie heated up , with ice cream. I was loving this place so much I wanted more! Breakfast is served all day and today is Friday, they serve fish at 11 am. The server told me it was fresh not frozen , hand cut, hand battered cooked to order, with homemade Cole slaw! As I write this review I have 2 hours and forty minutes to wait, but like I said I am just passing through. Thank You Father YHWH, Jesus Christ and Holy Ghost for blessing us all with saving all mankind, help us all to love you back in the relationship! NOT A RELIGION!

    If you're looking for a delicious, filling, tastes like Mom's cooking meal, stop by this place! I now live out of state but was in town last week and this was a must have treat. My friend and I went on a nature photography session at sunrise before most folks are awake. After several hours of hiking, we both were ready for a hearty breakfast. She ordered the chicken fried steak and I had the biscuits and gravy. My friend loved her chicken fried steak and offered a bite but we both forgot with how quick we were eating. Next thing I knew it was all gone. I am usually hesitant to order biscuits and gravy at a restaurant as either the gravy is bland or the biscuits are too hard. Neither was the case at here! My eggs and bacon were cooked perfectly as well. Our server (sorry I didn't get her name) was very friendly and attentive to us. We both were amazed at how quickly our food was served as well considering the restaurant was nearly full. Thank you Bee Line Cafe for being a part of a new memorable day in Payson. I promise to come back next time I am in town :)

    The menu selection was great. I ordered a Ruben and it came Out pipping hot with yummy fries. For desert we had warm homemade rhubarb pie with ice cream. One fyi.. they only take cash. Our server was very nice and made sure to check back often.
