About This Spot

Nestled just off the winding roads above Payson, Double D Bar & Grill feels like stepping into a warm, familiar retreat where the pace slows and genuine local spirit takes center stage. It’s the kind of place where the air carries the laughter of neighbors gathering around pool tables and the clink of glasses, while hats and worn dollar bills hang from the ceiling like souvenirs of countless stories shared over the years.

The atmosphere here brings a comfortable mix of rustic charm and unpretentious hospitality. Whether stopping by after a scenic drive through pine forests or settling in for a night of casual conversation and good company, visitors find themselves embraced by a space that feels both lively and laid-back. It’s a spot that invites you to linger—catching a local band’s first chords or trading tales across a well-worn bar.

The food here is woven seamlessly into the experience, inviting moments of sincere satisfaction rather than fanfare. It’s the kind of menu where the aroma of prime rib wafts alongside the earthy scent of freshly fried onion rings, while classic barroom favorites like Philly cheesesteak sandwiches and street-inspired tacos make for hearty, comforting bites. The flavors echo the surrounding landscape, with dishes like the elk burger offering a taste of the region’s rugged character, and specialties like funnel cake fries and homemade cookies adding a touch of indulgence that feels thoughtfully crafted rather than flashy.

Behind the bar, there’s a quietly impressive rhythm to the service—often managed by one person who skillfully balances every detail with a smile. This attentive, personal touch shines through in everything from perfectly poured drinks to the warm, easy camaraderie shared with guests who feel less like visitors and more like old friends invited inside.

For those seeking a true slice of Payson’s local flavor, Double D Bar & Grill is more than a meal or a drink—it’s a genuine invitation to slow down, savor simple pleasures, and become part of a community’s ongoing story.

What a gem! Sarah was awesome, the food wonderful, and the vibe super chill. I had onion rings with the best Ruben ever, my daugher had grenchili potato appetizer ( i dont recall what the name of it was sorry), and the hubby had philly cheese steak sandwich. So much food we had to take a to go box. forgot to take pictures before we started eating and there was only one onion ring left when the rest of the food arrived.

The food has always been amazing. The service is pretty impressive considering she was by herself running the bar & taking food orders & bringing them out and still remembering my ranch!. The atmosphere is what you expect for a country bar . I do have to mention the pizza we come from Payson just for it it is really good. And again great job to our server on Saturday she did great!

We did not eat, grabbed drinks from the general store attached. We had to go through the bar and restaurant, it was so cool! The staff was helpful and nice, the bar was like stepping back in time! Hats hanging from the ceiling, dollars on the walls, pool tables and dart boards. There was a band setting up out back. If we had more time we would have stayed, I cant wait to go back!

The ride from the low desert of San Tan Valley into the pine forest just above Payson was amazing! Once I reached the one general store / bar & grill town I was not disappointed. The clean air filled my lungs as I marvaled at the change from desert to pines! After fuling up on a couple of I head back down the twisty historic highway. I was actually going to repeat this trip yesterday. However, I opted for a new destination. See my next review of Salt River Canyon.

Hands down one of the best spots in payson. Had a wonderful experience during our over night trip at Christopher creek. The service and food were outstanding! Being that it’s off season, the bartender was also the server and the cook! She was on top of everything and we never had to wait for drinks or anything. Pizza was phenomenal. Sarah, thank you for the great conversation and for making us feel like regulars. Definitely will be a mandatory stop for us every time we are in the area.
