I live nearby Payton's and have been there several times. The restaurant is clean and the staff is friendly. They've got a well-rounded menu that offers something for everybody. Great wings and burgers.
My two minor complaints is that the restaurant isn't very well-lit and the layout is poor. The downstairs area has been divided into a bar section and a restaurant section. The bar section is great with a giant wall full of TVs, but seating is limited - if you want a table in the bar section you're usually going to be out of luck. That means you have to either sit upstairs and deal with the poorly-placed pool table or sit in the downstairs restaurant side, which offers fewer viewing options.
In any case, don't let this stop you from visiting Paytons.
