Creekside Tavern

Cute little spot. The service was great and food was fresh and made to order.

got the nachos and the sampler platter for the three of use and could not finish it! Hot and yummy, so worth the money! bring your appetite the portions were much bigger then i expected and we filled up without ordering a meal. will have to come back again for sure.

This place was amazing! We started off with the Nachos, it comes fully loaded on baking sheet and was delicious. I had the Beast Burger, which was incredible. The Old Fashioneds were also on point. The staff was great, the atmosphere is a cozy, quaint lodge. Everything was perfect. It was a 20 min drive from Payson and well worth the trip! We will definitely be back.

I can't recommend Creekside Tavern enough! We've visited a few times and enjoyed every experience. The food is absolutely delicious, and despite having my gallbladder removed, I can happily say I have no issues with their fried dishes, which is rare for me. The service is always friendly and welcoming, making each visit special. I appreciate the outdoor seating, perfect for those who want to bring their dogs along, as well as the variety of seating options available indoors. We're also excited to be hosting our wedding here in Halloween 2026! It’s always a joy to make the two-hour drive to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and this fantastic tavern. Plus, the prices are incredibly reasonable for the generous portions you receive. I can't wait for our next visit!

We absolutely loved this place! My burger was cooked perfectly to order and seasoned nicely. The reuben also had a very good flavor! The staff was friendly and checked on us frequently enough. Driving through? Definitely stop here! Wildlife was beautiful, as well

Drove up there to have lunch with my daughters. Was so peaceful. We ate outside by the fire pit, surrounded by trees. Food was really good. Our waitress was very sweet. Loved every bit of our visit. Will have to book a cabin and stay the weekend!

A pleasant surprise just off highway 260. Stopped for lunch and discovered a quaint atmosphere @6800 ft, fresh food, great service! Highly recommended.

I was hoping for a good local meal after a long hike and this place did not disappoint! Believe the reviews about the food. We order a burger and firehouse chicken sandwich and they were both so juicy and flavorful. The fries are uniquely crispy and seasoned and you are given a side of ranch. The atmosphere outdoors is welcoming and scenic. Mo provided wonderful service and made the experience even better it’s hard to find places with good food and service these days and this place is it!
