The food is great Staff amazing drinks are great. Love this spot gotta try it. Local fav

Spilled a drink and refused to serve us again. Said it was because it was "memorial day weekend" and it would be bad for their image. How's a 1 star review for your image mr. Peabody? Edit: it wasn't us, but members of our party, who spilled the drinks, despite the managers comment. I'm assuming they think I was intoxicated because I drop some change when I pulled out my wallet and picked it up in front of the bouncer. The party I was with seemed pretty reasonable and wasn't rowdy at all, so I really don't understand what gave them that impression. read more

Came here on st Patrick's day hoping to have fun. Band was great and good crowd. Unfortunately the bar was understaffed and the two bartenders were not interested in trying. My drink was disappointing (how hard is a black and tan?). But the service was worse. Bartender Robert acted like my order was annoying him and when he gave me the bill it was with someone else's credit card. I pointed it out to him and he went back to the counter and threw the bill and my card at me. You guys can do better. read more

Food was ok. Service was below average. Got the feeling that we were treated poorly, our waitress thinking us tight fisted old people. Also only Bud Light was happy hour discounted? What kind of happy hour is that? read more

A great eating and drinking establishment! Since moving to Carlsbad, I have found a pet friendly place (on the patio) where you are not a stranger after the first visit. The drinks and food, especially the fried Alaskan cod, are so good and consistent. I asked for a little cover to take my salsa sauce home, as I could not finish it, and Jennifer, a delightful California girl, brought me a top. Jenifer said that everyone there works as a team. Jenifer is a keeper! Always pleasant. She is a symbol of how eatery's should be run. Compliments to the bartender and the great cook and the person that buys the great paper napkins! They show how people should be treated. I felt special when I was handed a napkin that that didn't tear. It reminded me that this a substantial and terrific place. This is 'my place' now, she said with a smile! read more

What an evening... Service and food has always been a problem here. I thought that from the last time I was here there would be an improvement. But, no. I came to Peabody's for my birthday and received almost cold food. I ordered the prime rib dinner, medium rare, with baked potato and the side of onion/mushrooms. The prime rib usually comes with Auju in a small container similar to the creamed horseradish. Today the Auju was already on the prime rib, which soaked into everything on the plate. Since the Auju is usually separate, the person I was with at the table didn't like new arrangement. They opted to send the mushrooms, soaked potato without chives and meat back to the kitchen. The meat, which was underdone was still too pink for a well done temperature. What came back was a plate of meat, pink, not hot, with potato and no onion/mushrooms! The server made it right, kind of, by bringing the side dish. What was wrong was that a garnish of chives that the person didn't want on their potato in the first place was used on the mushrooms/onions!! Why add chives to a person's dish when it isn't asked for at all? Shameful. The dish went back a few times and I wouldn't have been surprised if our waiter walked a 5K.. A 3rd person at the table had their child get a small burger with cheese and french fries. The waiter we had did not tell us that it would cost extra for cheese. At least tell us if there will be a change in cost for the burger!! The French fries were 4 TIMES the size of the burger on the plate! Even the child eating the fries complained about the abount, which is telling. A giant to go box was filled with uneaten french fries to go home. My prime rib wasn't hot at all but I was so hungry from waiting that I had to eat something. The outside seasoning is almost inedible because of the amount of salt and seasoning. Today it was a good cut of meat, but there are times that the prime rib is so fatty and gristly that it can't be eaten. But wait, there's more...Today is my birthday and I was hoping that I would get a dessert on the house to celebrate. I was told that the only thing here that "was like a birthday dessert was a mud pie." So, I was happy to get something dessert-like... The mud pie didn't have enough chocolate, which the picture resembled. We had to ask another waiter to come by and bring us some. The picture is misleading. After all of this, our waiter charged me for the dessert!! I know this is a bar, but even if I were drunk I wouldn't put up with this service. My order isn't a suggestion. And for the love of Pete... GIVE ME HOT FOOD !! read more

I loved my omelette at Mr. Peabody's . Lilly was our waitress! She is such a sweetheart! My friend and I ate brunch on the patio! That's something you just can't do this time of year in Phoenix Arizona! It was very fun visiting Encinitas! read more

Cant believe it took me so long before coming here. Great food, service, prices, and music is awesome. Don't miss the Sunday night prime rib! read more

Great prices on great food. I had the onion soup, which was excellent. I ordered the burger and fries. The burger was decent, but the fries were some of the best I've ever had. The burger and fries was $11-12 which presented with a massive portion of everything. So much food I couldn't eat it all. There was also live music, which was nice. It was Sunday, so I guess it was jazz night. I'd never been here before, but I'll certainly come back. My server was Casey, and he did a fantastic job; literally refilled my water a dozen times without me asking once. I was impressed. read more

I cannot give this place enough stars. I have never seen anything like it. Best happy hour I have ever seen. The staff is great. Heidi was my bartender and she was such a sweetheart. I am officially a regular for life. Thanks for the great experience! read more

Prime rib was on special Friday what a deal! Service was good and very friendly. Venue is load but hey it's a sports bar. Ambiance is casual and yet clean and new. read more

Truly local crowd dive bar. Service was great but food average at best. Just had beer & wine for beverages so cannot rate the bar drinks. We went on Sunday evening to stay for their jazz night. The bass, drummer & guitar play was good, but the featured brass player (saxophonist) was absolutely old & needs to retire or update his performance. We had to leave his voice & impromtu play so obnoxious. Maybe this is a rock & roll house and local artist showcase on other nights! We would skip this spot & search other beach spots for entertainment! read more

The management from Mr. Peabodys continued to post updated replies to my very accurate review that there were other witnesses to, they never truly a dressing the real issue or taking ownership of it blame in everything other than them self the issues here so ingrained that obviously comes from the top down. There are too many good and clean places similar to this establishment that no one needs to visit this and be treated the way they treat clients. Mr. Peabody's has never been known as a fine dining restaurant so exceptions have to be kept in mind occurred a couple weeks after the pandemic and the reopening of restaurants so our expectorations had kept that in mind, but the experience was still so far far below anything anyone could expect in regards to service with terribly slow service a major bad attitude we weren't even greeted for at least 5 to 7 minutes. When I asked about the French dip sandwich and making some changes to it they told me they were absolutely no exceptions to anything on the menu when I shared of them that I have food allergies they were not the least bit empathetic and said they would not make it without cheese when I asked for sliced tomatoes to be out of the sandwich and I would pay form they said no we don't do any customization. What was interesting is they did have sliced tomatoes for one of the people I was dining with for his hamburger yet they would not bring me sliced tomatoes for my sandwich and again I offered to pay an additional charge for them. The service continued to get worse as time went on it took an extremely long time for us to get our food and I asked for some ketchup For my french fries it took seven minutes to get ketchup I asked several different servers and still did not get catch up by the time they brought catch up my french fries were cold I expected so little from this place at this time and they went below that low expectation. After our meal was done there was an incident with a gentleman who refuse to wear a mask in Mr. Peabodys management had to call the police who had a long talk with the gentleman but this was after our meal was already placed and delivered to the table and had nothing to do with the bad service and bad attitude. So instead of owning up to a bad experience Mr. Peabodys management is looking to lay blame anywhere they can other than themselves and that's where The servers learn it's OK to treat customers poorly. They took down the post they had telling me never to come back four months ago maybe thinking I wouldn't reply to their new message but until they're willing to take ownership and warm portly offer at least reasonably good service I would tell anybody to avoid Mr. Peabodys at any cost just look on Yelp there are many other places that serve cocktails have music with food and for better service in a very close area. . read more

Husband & I went for a bit of breakfast, a spicy bloody mary, and a Manmosa. There were people sitting inside & out on the patio and TVs had sports on. First thing we noticed was how clean & brightly lit it was inside. The front door AND the back door was open allowing light & a breeze to come thru. Because of the light we could see that it looks like the place has had a bit of a polish & just seemed fresher. We were greeted by a lovely young lady bartender who when we ordered our drinks said: "I want you to have that" "you deserve that" Her positive & fun energy started our visit off on just the right note! *note to management shes a keeper (working sat am 6/19/2021 We ordered the breakfast tacos (what a deal & oh so delish!), eggs, hashbrowns, bacon, a fresh made biscuit, and a side of gravy. Now, weve been coming to Mr Peabodys for 10 + years now & as of the past several years have not been impressed with the food at all. BUT this weekend we were blown away. Everything, I mean everything was perfectly done, full of flavor, arrived warm & portions were more than generous. I dont know whats different but something is. Service was A+ and boy was she running as she was the only waitress until back up came about a half hr after we arrived. Manager was also helping to run food to customer tables. Team work!!! Things kept getting better.....soccer game was on one of the TVs. Germany vs Portugal. Apparently there were many fans in the bar as when someone asked for the sound to be turned on & up for the game everything went off! So fun. All of a sudden people were cheering, laughing, talking to each other, smiling-such a cool vibe. I swear it was like being in a really fun bar in PB except it was here, in our home town of Encinitas. Havent felt that way at Mr. Peabodys I dont think ever. Maybe its a post pandemic feeling, I dont care what it is, I just hope it stays because if it does we may be living at Peabodys!! Can not wait to come back for happy hr-already a plan for this week, and to listen to some live music. read more

Worst service ever! Ordered bloody's and cane to watch the game and order food but waitress changed channel asking two of three tables not ours and then told us that she'd hook up one of the other TVs if we "fucking asked nice". We're leaving! Won't come again! Not too mention she was very unprofessional and rude when we asked for more tomato juice for the bloody bar! Was a favorite place to come! Not anymore!! Went to Beachside Bar &Grill Bri was awesome so was everyone there!! Nice change!! read more

Mr Peabody's - Unprofessional waitress with bad attitude!! - Burgers Near Me - Encinitas, California

Best bar and food deals around. Been coming here for several years and I'm never disappointed. Was here last night to celebrate my birthday with family and friends to watch legendary jazz musician Anthony Ortega!! Had prime rib, which is incredible, with a huge baked potato and side of veggies. Best deal in town, by far. Great service, ambience, food and drinks. Can't beat it. read more

We went to Peabody's on Monday April 5th. It was only the second time we've been out since Covid started. We were seated promptly and offered drinks right away. We ordered a Cobb salad and Cheeseburger. My GF's Cobb salad was HUGE and my burger was large and came with a ton of delicious fries. Overall, the service was fast and friendly, the food delicious and Covid protocols followed. Looking forward to revisiting soon! read more

Love love love all the staff and the food and the happy hour! It's the only place you'll find old Encinitas down to earth authentic! Love it! Fav place everrrr read more

This place is the local hang out for many in Encinitas. My husband tends to frequent this place more than I do, and so I joined him this time around. At 5:40pm it was pretty crowded outdoor, indoor seating and bar that had no empty chairs. After a couple of minutes of trying to find a table, we ended up grabbing a table that someone had left, but had not been bussed yet. So we sat there till a nice young server came by and asked for our order at 5:56 meaning we had 4 minutes to pick from the happy hour menu...And boy she was serious as I was rushing to make some food choices. We chose potato tacos, short ribs, and bbq wings, couple of beers and a Moscow mule. This order was taken down and entered within 4 minutes. So let's just say it's happy hour food, no great expectations here, but the wings were half way decent, the taco, well let's just say it was pieces of potato, with Romain lettuce and chopped tomatoes on a tortilla. But the Moscow mule was pretty good. It.m did take the server a while to come back, because from when we sat, we didn't get our cutlery and napkins. This place is a local place, so if your looking for cheap beer, cheap food than this place is it...those are the expectations for this place. Yes, I would return only because my husband drags me there. read more

Tried to make this place our new go to bar for our Softball team as our restaurant in Vista Closed on us as did our $5 pitcher and 25cent wing night place in Mira Mesa.. One of our team recommended this place. Bummer all the way around. Having never been there, I checked it out 2 days ago, to ensure we could host a group outside on the patio, and bring some dogs too.. The hostess said sure.. and I asked if we could put a order in for a Prime Rib dinner for 15-20 people.. and a yes, but heads up would be appreciated. So I left telling her I would be back. I Returned there tonight, first one there with my dog about 2:30PM and was going to be joined by my girlfriend and our Wingman and his wife.. I was the ONLY one there outside. Had the entire outside patio to myself. Ideal! I just wanted to make sure this was the new spot for our team. A waitress came out, and literally stuck her butt on my table while she pulled over 4 other tables end to end, to accommodate a large party. Albeit, the entire patio was empty! Yet, they felt the need to not only blow me off, but seat 12 people RIGHT next to me.. I mean less than 2 feet away.. So much for COVID, so much for protocol. Not only that, they took the remaining empty seats from my table that my guests were going to use! They Didn't ask if it was ok, didn't ask if they could dump 12 people within 2 feet of me.. They Didn't abide by the law, and blew me off in the process. Needless to say I will not be back.. read more

I went to this establishment looking for good drinks and food. I left with finding a hair in my fries . And then I finding hairs in my food . Once ask about my food and finding hair. I got combative staff members asking about it, also while trying to put the food back on the check. LEFT A BAD TASTE IN MY MOUTH . read more

Everyone is always nice; including the crowd that likes to hang out there... I never went for the night life but I know people think it's a lot of fun! They have a pool table which is why I found them.. As well as their food, which is really good and really cheap. They also have an amazing Bloody Mary bar; you buy the liquor and they give it to you in a glass and you make your own... I don't like Bloody Marys but I honestly got into them just to use their bar (I really liked all the snacks they had!) read more

Sad to say our lunch at Mr. Peabody's was barely mediocre. Something has changed there as they used to be so good! Their formerly delicious tri-tip chili tasted like a bowl of tomato sauce. Also didn't have the sour cream on it because they said "it made the chili cold." Sure it did. Tri-tip bits were practically non-existent. Also the hash browns were not as good as they used to be. Something's different. New cook? New owner? Modifications to cope with the lousy economy? Don't know. All I do know is that I won't be going back anytime soon. read more

Best cookies and ranch in town Regular order: Wings cup of the best ranch. Ever. No questions asked. Red potatoes French onion soup Turkey taco!!!! read more

Suggested by a good friend of ours who owned Bread and Barley, that unfortunately was a Covid financial casualty. Omelets are different, on the good side. Their Hashbrown are very buttery and can overwhelm you, but I like. Great Coffee, great portions, fresh fruits. read more

Really, really good food. Best roast beef dip sandwich I've ever had. Hot wings and drinks are great, strong like they're supposed to be. Breakfast is delicious, servings are huge, prices are good, well worth it! I've ordered to-go several times, and they've always prepared the food exactly as I asked. Atmosphere is kinda dive-bar, but in a good way. Wear what you're comfortable in, or straight off the beach. Plenty of seating, inside and out. First time I went, I felt comfortable right away. Clean bathrooms. Stage with live bands, might only have them on weekends?! Terrific band the 1st night I went, "Sonic" -something.? with a phenomenally talented lead singer, and I told her so. Go for the food, the drinks, the atmosphere and the music. read more

We had planned on spending our St Pats at Mr Peabody's. The band ("Dirty Taxi") is amazing! Sadly the bar is way understaffed and the two who are there try desperately to not make eye contact. When we finally got Roberts attention, he poured a crappy black and tan and basically threw the Visa card back at us. The band was great so we tried to shake it off, but for our second drink, after being ignored at the bar for about 10 minutes, even as we tried to catch their eye, we said screw it. We'll go someplace that wants our business. read more

I love Peabody's! Excellent, casual, affordable, neighborhood sports bar with good drinks and super tasty food! I hate to make the corny comparison, but this place is my Cheers. I mean, they don't know my name.. but they do recognize me and always have good service regardless. They always make great cocktails, well-crafted and not too weak. I really like all of their servers and bartenders. We did once have a bartender who shorted us on our change a couple times, but I haven't seen her in a while. I wish they had a few more beers on tap, but this is the kind of place that caters to all types. Their food is honestly good - meaning I actually go here just for the food. My favorites.... Turkey Taco (huge, ask for salsa), Chicken salad (also huge), Prime Rip dip (absolutely delicious and big enough for 2), and the Buffalo Wings. Their house-made salsa is also very tasty. They have a few different specials that are great - I think they have happy hour every day, along with other daily specials. They have early bird food specials that run from 7-11am, including $.75 breakfast tacos that are decent. They have a bloody mary bar where you build your own for $2.75, and that goes on weekends until 2, I believe. But the best part is that even if you miss your favorite special, you'll still get a good deal. They have patio seating, which can get a bit smoky, but it's nice if you do smoke or have dogs. They have a free pool table, a juke box, trivia night, football, and occasionally live music. My biggest suggestion to them would be that when there is live music, they should clear a few tables out so that there is room for dancing. Thank you Peabody's! Much love for ya'll!!! read more

Mr Peabody's is okay not great to get a tasty burger. It really depends on the day you visit and the wait staff and cook on duty, which can be either really good or really bad and affect your meal and experience, as well as whether or not the music being played is horrible (like whoever it is that works there that likes blasting headbanging heavy metal garbage sound). Also for some bizarre reason the bar does not have soda pop on tap so if you order a diet coke or coke you get a can and they charge you a ridiculous $3.50 and obviously no refills. There are better places to go but this is okay if you are starving and in the area. read more

Divey and awesome. The wings are delicious. The fish taco is crazy good and only $1 on Saturday afternoons. I visit Mr. Peabody's every month because my friend's band, Coyote Blues Redemption, plays a set on Saturday. There is a pool table, a nice sized bar, and probably 20 tables. One star docked due to no dance floor and the somewhat cramped tables near the stage (hubby is temporarily in a wheelchair and we opted for a table in back so as not to make people get out if their chairs to let us pass). Service is good. Nothing spectacular to note but I'm definitely satisfied with the service. read more

Mr Peabody's - Good beer selection IMO - Burgers Near Me - Encinitas, California

Nice surprise We had breakfast on Saturday on the way to drop people off at the train stop. I was amazed about how good the food was, the chef showed some real imagination with several of the dishes, the eggs Benedict came is so many options it was hard to choose. The omelet actually had enough ingredients inside of it and it could have easily fed 2 normal eaters. The biscuits and gravy were the prefect balance of spicy and creamy, the biscuits were so big even Big Al did not finish the entire plate. I want to thank the staff for wonderful service first thing in the morning... I think we walked in as they were firing up the kitchen... we will differently be back... read more

I went to Mr. Peabodys last Tuesday (February 21, 2023 at 5:00 PM). I just checked my American Express bill and saw that the bartender had double charged my credit card! There was a charge for $46.86 (the bill without tip) and $52.86 (the bill with tip). The two charges are for the same date and time. I am sending a note to Mr. Peabody's management to refund this duplicate charge, and also filing a dispute with my credit card company. I hope that Mr. Peabody's management will resolve this duplicate charge and take steps to make sure that this is not a recurring problem. read more

Mr. Peabody's is a place where you will feel at home right away. The food is ALWAYS good. Happy hour is awesome...ribs, wings and fish tacos, anyone? The people, owners and staff are always friendly and the dirty martini is always on point. We have seen the best of the best in live entertainment from all genres. We now feel like this is a place where we come just to get together, even when we have plans for later in the evening, this is always a must to start. Karaoke on Tuesday nights will be the best experience that you can have to start your week. I don't sing but it is fun to cheer the brave ones that do on:) read more

A cross between a dive bar and a bar and grill...I'm a fan! The only criticism I have is music comes from a jukebox at @ .50 per song! Just plug in an iPod or something and let there be music already! lol ... why be cheap on something that creates ambience like that? Anyway, ordered happy hour wings (.50 each) with buffalo sauce and there were crispy, juicy, and delicious! Beers and drinks were reasonably priced and the pool table is FREE. Free pool...but music costs money?? :P Great service, customers seem local and nice...no bums or freaks that we saw. I'd come back to try their other grub and enjoy someone else's jukebox $$. read more

To say this place is a dive is a tad bit of an understatement lol. Regardless, it's a late night bar with a single pool table and some entertaining karaoke all in a random strip mall in Encinitas, what more could you expect?! I haven't actually tried the food but I have been here for a couple of drinks and some entertainment... It fit the bill but I must say, the pour wasn't the best and the service was a bit spotty. Not to mention that the place was half empty but still I would consider this an average place. There was nothing really bad about it, it just wasn't my cup of tea... Pros- Location Pool Late night Karaoke Cons- Only one pool table Spotty service A bit grungy Drink pours read more

Monday night football and a hotdog bar makes for a deliciously fun evening. Happy hours at Peabody's already rock but adding a build your own hotdog bar for the game knocks it out of the park. Fresh ingredients and prime rib chili. Good job Mr Peabodys read more

Great hamburgers! Wife had good old fashioned French dip. Both were complemented by well prepared Bloody Mary's

I like this place. Little divey bar, located just off encinitas blvd off the freeway. Love the Sunday deals and great drink and food prices. A little grungy and dark, but aren't all bars? Nice little patio. Granted, not much a view. But hey, they got free pool. read more

Last night, I asked the owner why they charge me 3 fees for my baked potato topped with avocado and mushrooms. I explained to her that seeing no options for vegans, I ask the staff to hold all that they normally top the baked potato with, and replace it with mushrooms and avacado. She strongly, in words and demeanor took an attitude with me, telling me, "We have salads. We don't change our menu to please people. If you are unhappy, I can pay for your drink, or you could just go next door to eat." As I attempted to explain to her: her limited salads aren't vegan; the sandwich place next door is not vegan; my drink is only a cranberry juice; many businesses in the area are trying to adapt to the dietary choices of their patrons, she just seemed to want to escalate the drama. Has she considered how important customer service is? Does she know her market? Apparently, no to both of these questions. And I have decided, given her dramatic reactions, which mirrored that of her staff, this is not a place to patronize. read more
