For dinner we had prime rib, 1/2 rack ribs, chili and fish and chips. All items were good, but I was surprised with the great fish and chips, not oily, light batter and a good cut of fish! I would definitely go back to eat the fish and chips. The chili went on the baked potato and fries. Sort of made our own mix and match great tasting dinner. read more

We luv going here several times per week... however tonight I put my foot down and we left after telling the staff about how much their bathrooms stink and has been stinky for far too long...it smells like ass tbh...if the bathroom is like this than how is the rest of the place maintained? Gag reflex in full effect tonight read more

This bar seems like a dive bar from the outside, but is actually quite intimate. When we went on the weekend, they had a live band performing. The drinks and the food were definitely good and filling and correctly priced, although I wouldn't say that it was memorable enough for me to suggest to others. However, the friendly staff and overall ambiance as well as affordability in general would make me consider this either a first stop or end of the night bar to visit, even if not the main event. I do believe I'll be back again to see what other live entertainment they offer and if the vibe remains consistent. read more

I stopped by to kill time whilst waiting for my sister's surgery to be done. The bloody Mary was really good but the biscuits and gravy was DELICIOUS!!! OMG will be back for both! So excited. The bartender Justin was good too! Made my visit awesome! read more

I've been back a few times since this review and re-tried the ranch. It's definitely better than the day I wrote my first review, but now it's just a normal slightly below average ranch. I'm pretty sure they changed the recipe to cut costs and they were testing out versions at the time. Which I respect as a business move, as it probably makes sense when most people aren't going to be able to tell the difference. But for those of us that can tell the difference, there are better places out there now. I'll probably stop by every few months when I'm in the area to give it another go, as the nostalgic pull is very strong, but I won't go out of my way anymore. read more

Terrible food. Slow service. Over priced. Waited over an hour after we ordered for cold, disgusting food that wasn't properly cooked. Cannot say enough negative things. Do NOT go. $22 for cold bacon and eggs and wait over an hour? Wow. No thanks. Service was also slow and painfully ineffective. read more

Always a great place to come grab some food and delicious drinks. The bar has a dive feel to it, and a little darker than your usual restaurant but the service is great. Keep in mind they're usually busy so be patient with them. They're always attentive and helpful. The food is great and in huge portions so it's great to share with the each other. read more

Great little local dive bar with fabulous food and drinks. We had the prime rib, it was fabulous. I ordered a cosmo (in a dive bar) it was one of the best I've had! We even brought a friend back the next day! read more

2:35 10- 5 - 24 Never have we ever felt So discriminated in our lives. We sat to eat at Mr.Peabody's like we've done for so many years. It took the waitress a very long time to bring 1 menu for 2 instead of asking how many.The waitress approached the people next to us twice not acknowledging that we were still there My husband got up upset I asked the waitress When is the manager in she said out loud to my husband she's in later while I was still in front of her talking she said good buy with a mad face . .Instead of listening getting the customer back she pushed us away . I would not recommend this place to anybody and will NOT be returning. read more

Excellent choice for Prime rib. Anytime when come San Diego. Great Service. Nice place for hangout at night. read more

Food is delicious. Great happy hours prices. Friendly service. Big tvs! I haven't been there at night, only during day time but it is a perfect sports bar where I can take children without feeling uncomfortable. Overall very recommended to watch a game and eat some yummy food. read more

We were in town for my sons soccer tournament and needed to find a place to eat dinner our first night. This place did not disappoint...the service was great, the staff were friendly, the food was delicious. It is a cool dive bar vibe with live music after 9. 100% recommend checking this place out! read more

Mr Peabody's - Seltzer at Mr. Peabody's - Burgers Near Me - Encinitas, California

If I could give this location 0 starts, I would simply based on my 1 experience here. I stumbled upon this establishment when one day trying to get some laundry done. Conveniently Mr. Peabody's Bar & Grill is located next to a laundromat that unfortunately does not break change for bills with a denomination of higher than $10...that is another review. Anywho, I stumbled across this establishment because I was in need of change. Well Rachel, I think the hostess/waitress was of assistance. I would like to preface that Rachel's demeanor was unpleasant from our first interaction a sage was rather snarky...personally I believe it had to do with the color of my skin because she seemed pleasant to others that she was assisting but I digress. Rachel, the waitress/hostess claimed she did not have change nor could she provide me with change however she did recommend that I try another "next door" establishment. Luckily for Rachel, I chose to be a customer. (here is where the review is beneficial). While my original purpose in this business was to for my own personal gain, Rachel offered the most unpleasant customer service prior to and even once I wanted to purchase an item for change. I was charged $1.07 for ranch, that I didn't receive. In addition, I watched Rachel politely gather my change from her apron directly. She also took the time to serve food to a table and then deliver a check before finally handing me a tray with my change. Due to Rachel taking the time to assist, I made sure to leave her a $0.93 tip ultimately being charged $2 to get change. Mind you before she decided to serve others, I let her know, I just needed the bills. Adding insult to injury, I called the establishment to follow up with the supervisory staff. Rachel not only answered the phone, placed me on hold acting like she got someone other than herself, and came back to explain she could assist however anyone above her would be on lunch for 1-2 hours (5pm on Sunday) ironic huh? Even if I wanted to try this establishment, Rachel 100% ruined that experience. This business is directly off the freeway, has multiple screens, and could be potentially a wonderful place for not only a local but also someone traveling through. I think Rachel's customer service could not only use some improvement but also some training/coaching. read more

I loved the live jazz quartet! Nothing can compare with the beauty of instruments being played in a natural setting. The ambience at Mr.Peabody's is old school saloonish...is that a word? So its comfortable. Staff were great. The heavy pour of Chardonnay made me very happy. Food was just passable. I only had the potato skins yet they had very little flavor and honestly there wasn't anything else beckoning me on the menu. I'd go back anyday just for the band and a drink. read more

I stumbled across this charming neighborhood bar after work needing to unwind. The staff was so welcoming that I immediately felt like family. Alyssa was serving tables and I even overheard her guests talking highly of her. She brought me my food with a smile and was very helpful. I was very impressed with the level of service that the bartender Cameron provided even with a full bar and restaurant. I will definitely be frequenting this place for now on. The wings are to die for. read more

Arrived and waited to be seated. Read a sign that said "Please seat yourself " we walked in decided on a table that was about 6 tables from the entrance. A waitress came out and rudely said for us to sit as close to the door as possible and she would get to us as soon as possible. We left. read more

Tricia Is the most awesome server I've ever met !She was so attentive to our needs and pleasant to have as a server .I will diffently be back for more !And the fish tacos are amazing 2 lrg tacos for $4 happy hour !Drinks too!!! read more

Unfortunately they're overpriced for what they offer: the service here went from ok to bad, coffee is never hot and the food is a mix of old leftovers, plus they play heavy metal at breakfast - really not the type of music you want to hear to relax and eat. To add to that, the bathroom was not taken care of. Maybe they're still around because of the bar but breakfast is not their thing. read more

We'd been looking for a place to listen to live jazz in the area (without having to schlep downtown) for a while, so we were glad when we found Mr. Peabody's. We stopped in on a recent Sunday night, and this is what we noticed: - Music starts at 6pm...we had arrived around 5:15pm, but it appears that most folks pile in right before the music starts. - The place is a dive bar, so don't expect more. We loved it! - We decided to order the two specials, the Prime Rib and the Macadamia Nut Cod. Both were really good...and, I don't think I left a thing on my plate even though the portion was massive. My wife was able to take half her meal home. - Service was great...we told our server that we weren't in any hurry, and she didn't pressure us to move along at all (which I thought might happen once we finished eating in order to open up a table). - The music was fun...not the best jazz I've heard, but perfect for a local hangout. Bottom line: We're glad to be able to add Mr. Peabody's to our list of local haunts, and will be back again before too long! read more

You will find Mr. Peabody's tucked away in a little strip mall just off the freeway in Encinitas. Don't let the location fool you though. This place was hopping on a Saturday night. Looked like mainly locals but also some people that came by for good eats and drinks. We had the chicken tacos and the bacon red potatoes (they just sounded good). Prices were great and food even better. Two huge chicken tacos with a nice side salad and the ramikin of potatoes was massive and quite filling. They were topped with fresh tomatoes and green onion which broke up the heaviness of the potato and bacon. Drinks were good too. My husband had a Jameson sour, and I opted for a vodka club soda and a rum and coke. Great value, our total was just under $30. The servers and bartenders were very nice and we're on top of everything even with as busy as it was. Great hidden place. read more

The place was really dark couldn't even read the menu and really over priced. Server was friendly. Very loud.

5 stars for service from the working employees. We sat next to an employee off her shift at the bar who was belligerent and complaining about her $20 tips she made these last 2 days. Please come to Peabody's if you want dinner and a show! read more

Was a great place but now tacos went up price and half as big ,just change make food smaller and prices higher

So, my third time to be disappointed at this place. Last time I ordered fish n chips and had to send it back because they left the skin on. They still mad me pay for half of it because there was no manager on site to approve taking it off the bill. Today I wanted the burger lunch combo and asked to leave the cheese and onion off. They said no. I said all I want is for the cook to give me a burger plain and dry. I had to pay 6 bucks extra. This is unreasonable for a restaurant to to treat customers like this. read more

Not only do I enjoy performing here, but my band Maturation Sol also brings that soul music vibes that the people and staff endure. I've also eaten here which competes with any eatery in the area. The staff is super-friendly and kind. For those from the East Coast, it may remind you of that kind of vibe. read more

Ordered the prime rib medium rare and Received it raw, couldn't even eat it.. So I ordered the same steak again, but asked for it to be cooked medium just to check consistency. Received it medium well . Paying for the extra steak was well worth the knowledge not to order steak here again. I don't think it's their specialty. But the chicken wings were really great . Highly recommend the wings read more

Great local spot with good food. Recently changed the menu and the prices have gone up. The biggest disappointment is they no longer have the turkey tacos on the happy hour menu. It was 2 of them and they were delicious. They now are offering a single turkey taco that's larger, but it's on a flour tortilla and is kinda hard as they grill it.. I am hoping enough people request the other tacos back as they were on corn tortillas and much much better!!! read more

What a cool spot!! Our second night in a row stopping in for a drink. Jazz quartet playing and they're fantastic haven't tried any of the food but we just saw they do breakfast so planning to stop back by in the morning to give them a try! Nice casual ambiance and great service So we came back again, try the food and we were pleasantly surprised!! The French onion soup is phenomenal... My guy had a hamburger and will look delicious. Very cool vibe, great service, great food will definitely be coming back read more

Peabody's used to have amazing food at great prices and good service. The last few times the service has been super slow, one waitress, and the prices have skyrocketed. / burger with a side of fries or side salad is almost $20!! No longer a soda machine, cans of coke... will not be coming back for food. I can pay the same for a restaurant with good service. Bummer read more

Came to hear my man at open mic, (Monday nights)....first time here. Have heard good food, good vibe with friendly people, friendly staff. Did not disappoint. Had blue Cesar salad, Parmesan crusted Alaskan wild caught cod. Vegetables were cooked perfectly. Food excellent. Menu options would meet everyone's wants. Hubby shared mine, plus onion soup. He gave a big thumbs up without even tasting, just on appearance to begin with. Open mic fun, host was great. Good wine/beer options. Full bar. Devon gave us wonderful service. Hope she's here next time we come. Yet again, all staff helpful and smiling. Will be back. Maybe even try breakfast! Nightly entertainment options also. Good job Mr. Peabody taking care of customers!! read more

I stopped in while I was doing my laundry, thought I'd get a beer. I sat down and I noticed it was pretty busy. I noticed that there was one waitress for all the people that were there, inside and outside. As I sat and enjoyed my beer I noticed that the only waitress there was busting her ass. After two beers, I made sure that I left a note telling her that she deserved a raise because I had never seen anybody work that hard. She did it with a smile, I never quit at the pace she was at. Thank you Tabitha for the great service and always having a smile. I noticed it was a tough day, but you kept going on like a trooper. I hope you had the next day off. read more

What 2 Tacos and. Bloody Mary for $7.50. Every Sunday after our walk Highly recommend read more

I've been coming here for years and the food and staff is amazing but the ranch is not the same and its been over 6 weeks since it has changed. I find it very odd the owner can't figure out what's wrong with the ranch. maybe the ingredients are too expensive now? Something is definitely going on behind the scenes and the owner could fix it but is obviously choosing not to. anyways i won't be coming back until the ranch is back to normal. read more

5 stars because we need more places like Peabody. We need music clubs that promote local artists, quality live music and daily entertainment. I like the vibe and the atmosphere at Peabody. I love going there for Thursdays country night and Jazz nights on Sundays, when Tony Ortega plays jazz standards with his band. The food is not the best in town and tend to be on the heavy side but they'll always do their best to accommodate your requests and portions are LARGE and affordable. Make sure you try: - A side of mushroom :) They are great. probably my favorite. - Prime rib dinner - Happy hour chicken wings. I like the wings there especially with the teriyaki sauce on the side - Happy hour fish tacos. love them. there is a thin laywer of cheese at the bottom to hold the (hand battered) fish - Happy hour .75cts ribs. Very nice and super tasty! - the bloody Marry bar! Every week ends (mornings)! this is fun and Peabody offer a large selection of condiments you can use to build our own bloody marry! I love this concept. What more... The staff is super friendly, the place is clean, quite large but still offers a darker music club vibe even though sports fan will still be entertained with the numerous TVs around the bar area. There is a small patio in front of the main door so you can also enjoy sunny late afternoon while sipping a $3 happy hour beer. Go there. Chill out and enjoy the music. ps: the city of Encinitas persecute this place by not allowing people do dance around (YES! crazy huh?). Peabody already got fined for this. Make sure you sign the petition! read more

We went to Mr. Peabody's for the first time for Father's Day. We sat at the outside patio, which was nice. They have live jazz on Sundays and we could easily enjoy the band from the patio. There is one unisex restroom but it was clean and the water was hot. Good signs that they are probably compliant with food prep rules. The French onion soup was amazing. Maybe the best I've ever had. The ribeye I had was overdone on one end but cooked perfectly on the other. It could have benefited from some additional season but it was decent. The wait staff was very friendly, helpful, and busy. I would go back and give the restaurant another try. read more

From the start Jenn the waitress is amazing. She is very attentive and very down to earth. Her attitude is amazing. Pet friendly and lots of TVs for game day.. We had the breakfast tacos and mimosa which gave my friend the needed time to unwind from a long 12 hour night shift... Highly recommend this place. read more

The patio is OPEN!! Ah, so very happy! While thankful they were still open for take out - and that everything was still super delicious - it felt so good to be back on the patio last night. Awesome to see that they were bumpin' too!! There is no place we love coming to more, than Mr. Peabody's and it was very apparent many others feel that same way. The food was delicious as heck, the drinks affordable with perfect pours AND they added mac n cheese! How could you go wrong!? We had the ribeye steak with mushroom, onions & baked potato, 2 fish tacos (YUM!), the buffalo chicken mac n cheese, and the prime dip with fries... and of course another side of fries because.. well.. have you had them?? Excited to be getting a little taste of normalcy back and looking forward to more happy hours and brunches at our favorite spot! read more
