"This is a lovely place with great food and great staff! Why are you going across the street to Cracker Barrel? We had beef stew, bangers and mash, fish and chips, cole slaw, and tomato soup. Sticky toffee pudding, too! They were all delicious, no notes at all. We would definitely eat here again!"

"I really enjoyed my trip to Payne’s! I got the fish and chips and it was amazing. The fish was huge and super flaky, the fries were perfectly crispy, and even the slaw was really good. They also gave us chips with a tomato and black bean dip that was really refreshing. I thought it was a nice touch that the fish came with malt vinegar too. The service was great, and overall it was just a really good experience. I’d definitely go back!"

"The food was amazing! I am not joking when I say this is a must stop. My husband got the fish n chips and he said it was the best he has ever had. I had the tomato soup with a grilled cheese in the bowl. Wow, it was amazing and has ruined any other tomato soup I will have in the future!"

"I have been many times with friends and family, and it is always a great experience. The food is phenomenal, and definitely unique, especially for Grant County. I've had a lot of things on the menu and everything tastes amazing. The service is always fantastic, and I love the aesthetic. Payne's is my go-to restaurant when people visit from out of town, and I even brought all of my coworkers here for a work outing in Grant County (my organization is based in Allen County, so none of them are local). When people ask me what to order, I tell them literally everything on the menu is a good choice. They're known for their fish and chips, but I also love their soups, salads, and sandwiches (the club is my favorite). Seriously, I can't recommend Payne's enough."

"Neat little place with a unique menu. It was a cold rainy day so my partner and I went with soup and grilled cheese and hot tea. The Earl Grey tea was nice and hot and they had cream and honey when I asked. The creamy chili (pictured) was the soup of the day which I got with the cheddar grilled cheese, the cock-a-leekie soup was my partners choice with the Gouda grilled cheese. The soups were hot and flavorful and the grilled cheeses were on a delicious sourdough bread perfect for dipping. We also got the sticky toffee pudding for dessert and it was very delicious. If I lived nearby this would be a regular stop for me for sure. The server was new, didn’t know some of the menu, but overall was diligent and very nice. We asked lots of questions and she had answers. Alexis B - Good Luck and thank you!"
