First time here after seeing ads for years, tempted by prime rib dinner for a ridiculous $21. My wife just wanted a burger. Overall all just ok. The prime rib was surprisingly good. Well seasoned and with lots of accompaniments. Amazing for the price. The burger was very thin like a fast food burger. But came with lots of fries and a salad. Our odd experience was it took 45 minutes to get our food and the restaurant was only half full. (Yesterday at 5:20) and there were plenty of servers. Our server said nothing until we asked about 35 minutes after ordering. (Said something about working on take out orders. ) We didn't see food being delivered to other tables during much of that time. In spite of that I think if you're selective you can get decent food at a surprisingly low cost. More of a 3.5 but an extra half point for the RB. read more

Kind of branching out in our Sunday brunch, so I'm back to one of our favorites Mr. Peabody's. Super fun vibe Leod Music great people had absolutely the best service by Lily. Best of all three dollar mimosas and bloody Mary's... Yes, you read this right three dollars!!!! Breakfast tacos two for five dollars and Deb was very happy with their eggs and sausage and toast. Whoever Mr. Peabody is, thank you read more

I entered. And sometimes I like to have a moment to myself in between work and picking up my son. But I also figured I'd get him a surprise snack! So I ordered the cheese fries which are supposed to have bacon etc but the nice bartender explained the cheese was out but they could put cheddar on it, I said sure! The only problem is they dont have bacon or anything on them. Are they out of bacon too? I planned on writing a good review but now I see my fries dont even have the bacon so I dont know if they are out of that too. But I do know that JACK was very helpful and cognizant of his surroundings and I appreciate that because it leads to excellent customer service. Who knows maybe this review will get me some free fries as a do over! Lol. Reasonable prices, nice vibe inside. Dark sort of with seating outside and a juke box all the goodies. Looks like a fun place. read more

I recently discovered this location of Mr. Peabody's, and I'm so glad I did! I was only familiar with the one over by Mission Valley/Fashion Valley, so I had no idea this spot existed. It has quickly become a new favorite. Their daily specials and happy hour deals are absolutely amazing--my friend and I were shocked to find drinks for just three dollars! We also ordered a burger special while we were there, and it was so good. If you're looking for great food and unbeatable prices in a fun atmosphere, you definitely need to check this place out! Not to mention that the waitress who was taking care of us was so awesome! read more

I typically go to Mr Peabodys for lunch. They have a great burger deal. My kids love everything they have eaten off the menu (burger, quesadilla, taco). I concur and also enjoy their onion soup. After 9 pm when there is live music it is 21+ only. My friend and I decided to check it out since Moho Strut was the band for the night. So much fun for me. A great local spot to have some good food, music and dance! Service was good. Got a drink right away. Bartenders were busy but still got to me. read more

$3.75 Bloody Mary's that were very tasty. I also got two breakfast tacos that were $2.49 each. Breakfast with a cocktail for under $10 is unheard of. The taco's were the best I have had. Will for sure be back here read more

Mr Peabody's - Bloody Mary and breakfast tacos - Burgers Near Me - Encinitas, California

Service, service, service. Three successive trips in a matter of days and each time, Justin and Heidi were very friendly and conversational as well as being able to take care of a full bar and tables without missing a step. Great breakfast deals with $3.75 bloody marys and bleeding madras cocktails. 2 breakfast tacos for $5, with sausage, bacon or potato. Happy hour tacos at two for $5 with steak, chicken or fish options. $10.99 burger with fries and salad is a great happy hour deal. It is a San Diego Padres house, so the TVs provide local games and color. Most patrons are convivial and eager to engage in conversations to keep the vibe lively. read more

I almost hate to review Mr. Peabody's for fear that it will become more popular than it already is. This is THE place for North County locals. There is a great selection of menu items & a service staff that are on their game. Friendly, efficient and fun to be around. There is a full bar managed by skilled (and attractive) bartenders who make sure your next round is on the way as you're taking your last sip. There are several things that set this place apart. There is entertainment 7 days a week with great bands most Fri & Sat nights. Food service is available well after 10:00 pm and in this area that is hard to find. Also, plenty of free parking, which is great! There's good media coverage as well. All in all it is a well managed property & has become my local favorite. read more

Mr Peabodys is my go-to neighborhood bar, a locals' institution. Happy Hour 7 days a week 3-6pm $3.75 well drinks, Bud and Coors Light drafts. I'm giving it 4 stars only because of the recent Chicken Wings soup trend (see picture). Does anyone really like fishing their wings out of a lake of buffalo sauce?) read more

I was on vacation with my family. We happen to stumble on this location on a Sunday. There was a live Jazz band playing and it was spectacular. The service was great because the staff were very friendly. A bit slow, we waited a long time for the food to arrive. Once the food arrived, it did not disappoint. I would definitely recommend and would come back if I were ever in the area again. read more

Updated Fish & Chips as of 11/1/24! In addition to the very fresh and plentiful battered fish fillets (of different sizes) and great french fries, they now have added a side caesar salad on the plate. As always, great service, lots of TV screens! But for those that like the outdoors, there are lots tables and chairs with just a good service. Lots of patrons bring their dogs. read more

The food It costs nothing the service is ok but they have happy hour Bree meal is don't costs nothing for Bree and the meal

The food was good--but unfortunately, that was the only positive part of this visit. We came to Mr. Peabody's in Encinitas on January 5th, after the holiday rush, when the restaurant was slow. Despite that, the service from our server, Lily, was shockingly poor. It took way too long to receive our first round of drinks. My date waited 15 minutes prior to me arriving. Which appeared she did not ring in her drink. When I arrived we ordered food and my drink which came out prompt (the only thing to come out prompt). After food was delivered, she never returned to check on us. When additional food came out, we were not given the correct amount of silverware or plates, and I had to get up and ask another staff member for basic necessities as she was not present. Our beers sat empty while Lily stood in the corner or chatted with other tables. Eventually my date left, and I waited to close out. I stacked all plates and glassware and stood by the table--only for Lily to walk directly past me without acknowledging me. I once again had to rely on another server just to pay. I work in the industry and know the standard of service. This was complete neglect. I did not tip, which I never take lightly, but tips are meant to ensure prompt, attentive service--and that did not happen. Good food does not make up for being ignored. If I didn't know other staff members here, I would not return. I will not be choosing to dine here if Lily is serving on the floor. read more

My husband found this place by accident because he didn't want to go further downtown into crowded Encinitas where paling is a strain. We were with friends and he decided to make a left turn We found Lazy Acres and Peabody's. It was a Wed night and we happened into all right Happy Hour food and drinks. I way over - ordered 2 orders of the 2 for $5 tacos . Then, off the non - Happy Hour selections, I ordered a Ceasar's salad. Everyone was surprised at how delicious and filling the specials were. Great food and drinks! We've been back there for many other Happy Hour Wednesdays and for other nights. It's a simple, "down' to - earth" atmosphere. I only eat chicken but my husband also loves the ribs and other things. And the 19.95 prime rib dinner. There's also some sort of Breakfas Special . Haven't made it for that yet but we're planning to try and get there early enough one of these days. Great place with really delicious food. If you're not sure, try Wednesday Night Happy Hour first. Friendly, wonderful staff! read more

Great food and excellent happy hour specials. Huge $2 fish tacos . Breakfast is served here as well with $3.50 Bloody Marys

I just went to Mr Peabody's Bar and Grill today for happy hour. Once again they've changed the menu. 2 for $5 fish tacos - 1/2 the size of the last fish tacos they offered - shrimp cocktail ? 5 tiniest shrimp they can find. Not worth it !! read more

It was LOUD (Thursday Night Football was in full swing) ‍The server was very kind, but super overwhelmed. There was only 1 on the floor for the entire restaurant, which caused serious delays in service. (She would forget or get sidetracked because there was just a lot going on .) The food is good/ok. I tried the Prime Dip Sandwich. It does come with Ancho Chilis which gives it a bit of a Philly Cheese Steak vibe than a French Dip. The au jus could use a lot more flavor for my taste. The fries are the bomb though! Side note: no fountain sodas/drinks. They have canned Coke products. read more

Mr Peabody's - Prime Dip Sandwich - Burgers Near Me - Encinitas, California

We love this place. Whenever we travel to the area we make it a must visit. Food good and lots of it. Good items include prime rib ( bigger slice than high priced restaurants) Hugh baked potato with everything. Mud pie to die for. Great pours on all mixed drinks. Great beer selections at great prices. Servers attentive and real. We go for Jazz Sundays. Can't find Jazz vibe players many places but here and great. read more

Got the ribeye steak to go. It was inedible. Asked for medium rare and got well done "shoe leather toughness. The onion rings were so overcooked, the onions were barely visible. The mushrooms were soaked in grease, and were inedible as well. Mister Peabody's in Encinitas used to have good food. Not any more if judging from my recent experience. in fact, it's the worst restaurant I ever ate at. read more

Good people, good food and alcohol at an affordable price is always a feel good happy hours are the best

I've been going to Mr. Peabody's for years and have enjoyed the low-cost food. I went recently on a Sunday night and the food was mediocre and the jazz band had the music turned up so loud it was painful. Never again. read more

Tonight was our Sunday take-out Prime Rib dinner the wife and I will split for $20 ($19.99). TO - GO!!! Note my previous review @ $21.99. Also note the size is 12oz compared to local casino and other prime rib stops locally @ 8 and 10oz portions. We arrived just before 6pm and the band looked like it was setting up. The service staff that greeted me at the door were efficient and friendly. They gladly took my credit card and brought my food out in a nice paper bag - with handles. Fancy schmancy! And the bag was heavy. I called the huge, loaded potato as being the cause, and I was right. Very large russet. Very tasty with skin on. I think they must salt the skin. The prime rib was delicious and cooked perfectly to our desire. The mushrooms were satisfactorily prepared and plated to the side. But the entire dinner plate was carefully placed and plated in to-go packaging . It looked great upon opening. A terrific take-out experience. Dicks read more

The band was good and the service great, but unfortunately the food was not. My wife ordered the prime rib which looked great on their on line photos, but she ordered it rare, which it was not, and was disappointing overall. I was excited about the prime rib French dip, and had a similar experience. It didn't taste great and kept falling apart like a sloppy Joe. They have a good selection of drinks, which is what I'd recommend it for in addition to the music. read more

It has been a while since I have been to Peabodys. Came back recently to watch a band play. It's a lot busier than it used to be and the food is still great! The waitress Alyssa was super sweet and nice. We ordered the loaded potatoes skins and they were delicious. They have inside and outside seating. TVs inside to watch sports, etc...I noticed they took out the pool table and kind of turned it into a dance floor/viewing area. Still a great place to get a drink, great food, and positive vibes. read more

This place is amazing. The atmosphere, the staff and the food is sooooo good. I recommend anyone who wants good food with a good vibe come here. read more

I came here on recommendation from a friend/colleague. I live in Ocean Beach so coming up to Encinitas is rare. My friend lured me here with the prime rib special. I came with 4 other friends to try the infamous $19.99 prime rib. I liked the bar feel since I love dive bars so that was a plus. We all ordered the same thing. The prime rib was okay....a little on the salty side. BUT oh man the baked potato was like to size of Shaq's shoe!! Holy moly it was huge. :0) Needless to say that was my gift to take home but I finished the prime rib and a little of my friend's too. I would come back here again for drinks and probably order the prime rib again too...once I get a little saucy. LOL!! read more

Mr Peabody's - Prime Rib Special - Burgers Near Me - Encinitas, California

Place is clean and usually has live music. Cheap drinks, food specials and big portions make this place loved by locals. Staff is friendly and attentive. Been here a couple of times and enjoy hanging out, with that said they had the worst band I have ever heard in my life play last night. The echo and reverb was up way too loud and the band was not great which did not help. A patron even stopped the band in between songs to help with a sound check. I did not last to see if that helped and got out of there to stop the bleeding coming out of my ears. I'm sure I'll be back. It was still a funny experience, but not great for business as we only lasted 1 drink. read more

Came here last night and got to Sit in on the Thursday Night Jams with Bradley and friends. Very wholesome experience , I had my girlfriend meet up and even got a bit of dancing in! Really happy about the vibrations and the host is very professional. Definitely I want to make this Thursday jam a routine. Bartenders are very sweet and the cooks are awesome. Plenty of seating and always tidy and comfortable. Thanks guys! I had so much fun last night! read more

The prime special is a fantastic deal! The fully loaded potato is delicious and the prime rib was nice and rare. The outstanding part, though were the mushrooms that come with the meal. OMG probably the best I've ever eaten. Give me a plate of those and call me a vegan! If I lived closer I'd be a regular! read more

Mr Peabody's is a very noisy sports bar heavily promoting their $19.99 prime rib special available after 4PM. My wife an I went there for their special and ordered it. When we got the bill, I was surprised to see we were charged $29 each, some 50% more. When I questioned the mistake, I was informed we had ordered the higher priced cut and they couldn't correct the bill to the proper, lower price. At the time we placed the order, the waiter could have sought clarification to verify that we really wanter a higher price item which seemed to be identical to the item we ordered, paticularly as noisy as it was, but he didn't do so. He may also have thought that we were a senior couple and would not check the bill for accuracy before paying and thus increase the company's profit. It was an unpleasent experience. As a note, the food was not exceptional. read more

For a little bar it was perfect. Quick service and great food. One evening we went and they had live music. Will go back again. Thanks

Drove from LA just for the breakfast tacos. Soo good here!! Service is amazing as well.

Food was mediocre at best. Chicken Quesadilla had little to no cheese. :/ pretty bummed. But the worst of all was the odor inside the restaurant. It was more prominent near the bathrooms so we chose a table by the front door. The smell needs to be addressed immediately, it smells like old musty sewer. Strong enough to make one gag. Service was great and the server was on top of things but won't be back due to the odor. read more
