Want advice for N. Arizona trip

Lookin for some travel advice for N Arizona
Heading to Northern Arizona and maybe Southern Utah next week.
Haven't been back there since the early 80's so I imagine some things might of changed a bit.

I,m looking for Do's and Don't fer a couple areas, Mostly eating and places to stay or maybe something to see.

First night is Kernville already got that covered, dinner at the Brewery and stagger nextdoor to the Motel.

Second night, Friday is either Bullhead City or Laughlin, got anything for this area?

Next night Saturday is the Prescot area, anything here?

Then I was thinkin Payson, heard about the cafe at the airport anything else?

This is the most plannin I've ever done fer a ride so I'll see if it makes a differance.

Just lookin for something like Ya got to try the Ribs at ???, or whatever you do DON'T stay at the Dew Drop Inn, or Don't miss 120 east of 395.

Anybody in the areas and want to have a couple cold ones and tell lies let me know.

Prescott has a nice Brewery down town. Right across from town park.
Don't miss route 89A from south of Prescott through Jerome, Sedona and up to Flagstaff.
Payson - only stayed one night there a couple years ago. Cute waitress at the sports pub.

I spent one night in Prescott last may and it was great, Whiskey Row has a couple of good bars there, and Jerome is a MUST SEE place, don't miss the trip thru there!

I live in Payson. If you headed this way let me know and I can let you stay a night. If it were me though, I would take the advise of 89A through Jerome. Eat at the Haunted Hamburger. Go down through Cottonwood and through Sedona.
up Oak Creek Canyon to flag. ride up 180 into South Rim of Grand Canyon on 64. Take 64 east along rim back down to 89 and up to North Rim of Grand Canyon. continue 89 up to Kanab Utah and ride through zion park. Back down to St. George Utah. You choose your way back towards home. Much better ride and you won't miss anything riding up to Payson area That you can't see on the route that I just suggested.

If you ride through or around Prescott Valley watch out for the photo radar.
