My love affair with Peabody's is the reason it took me over two months to buy a new clothes dryer. Mine broke and I went and dried my clothes next door to Peabody's and ran in for a quick bite and some drinks. 2 months later I kept putting off buying a dryer so I would have an excuse to go to Peabody's. Well who needs an excuse? Especially when Peabody's has a screaming cheap happy hour. $.50 street tacos? Drinks for $2.50. They have a killer margarita. Doesn't taste like that mixer crap that some places serve. I usually go and have a baked potato and sometimes a salad. Plenty of food for me. My hubby likes to go on Thursdays when he can get the prime rib special for $11.99. It comes with a loaded baked potato, veggies, and sautéed mushrooms. You can't really beat the deal. I hear they have live music most nights. I haven't been for that yet but now that I have a new dryer I need other reasons to visit. I have a feeling I'm going to be a regular. See ya there. read more

Came here to watch the Packers game. It was not overly busy and they were great about accommodating us with the TVs. Good prices, good drinks. I recommend the wings, they were amazing!! Server was so nice and did a great job despite having quite a few tables. I will be back for sure. read more

I have been wanting to try Mr. Peabody's based on the reviews I read about the food and especially the prime rib for some time; I drive by the complex frequently but have never just stopped in. Tonight was the night and what a wonderful and memorable dining experience. The food and service was simply amazing. My wife and I went to 5:30 pm Mass tonight and by the time we were finished and in the car, we were starving and she said she wanted Prime Rib. We discussed our usual venues, Bentley's, Bully's, etc., but we really didn't want to spend $50 to $75 for dinner. She had never heard of Mr. Peabody's, asked about the reviews and said okay. When we got there, . . . . . . . . . .all you see from the parking lot is a storefront that just looks like a bar, . . . . . and inside, . . . . . .it looks like a bar. She initially wanted me to check it out, but I said, "Come one, let's try it!" As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the friendly waitresses who said we could sit anywhere, and quickly our waitress, Amber, came to the table. We both ordered the 10-oz Prime rib, . . . . .at an amazingly crazy price of $12.99. The meals came to our table, literally in ~5-10 mins; I was astounded by the speed of the food delivery. And, . . . . .when it was in front of me, . . . . . .I was speechless (in a good way)? I could not believe what I was seeing, for only $12.99. Prime ribs I have had for $25 or more were no better or generous in portions and presentation and flavor. It was an amazing, delicious, favorable, and memorable meal. The prime rib was PERFECT. The banked potato was loaded and absolutely PERFECT! The side of mushrooms and onions, served in a small bowl was PERFECT! The au jus was PERFECT! And the side of horseradish was PERFECT -- not too strong and very creamy. I was completely dumbfounded that anything this good could be bought for $12.99. I was (and still am) so full, . . . . . . . . . .two hours after dinner. Our server, Amber, was exceptional, attentive and very helpful! My only regret, . . . . . I was too full to try the mud pie! Next time!! read more

Ist time at this resturant/pub. Been passing by for awhile and decided to stop. Decided to order fish and chips but wanted loaded potato instead of the fries. There were other items on the menu that gave option of the fries or loaded baked potato one was of similar price. I asked the waitress if I could have the loaded baked potato instead of the fries. She said no. SO, I asked if there was a difference in price could I just pay the difference for the loaded potato. Nope. She said my only option was to pay for the fries and pay for the baked potato too. Why would I want fries and a baked potato??? Such a simple request to make happen. So much for customer service. Date of experience 10/25 4:30pm. read more

My husband and I are regulars here at Peabody's we usually go anywhere from 2:00 maybe three times a week 100% always one time a week . We were there yesterday Saturday April 13th and we arrived later than we normally do around 3:00 by 4:00 Nicole the manager was the only waitress there she was handling all the tables outside and inside and did a amazing job. She was just like a butterfly everywhere she gave 100% excellent customer service which is amazing for being the only waitress and it got busy there was only one empty table out of the entire place and that didn't last long. She made sure everybody had their menus when they sat down right away she made sure she took everyone's drink order right away and your food order and made sure that nobody was sitting and waiting and waiting and waiting and that is amazing for being the only waitress there. But she's amazing even if she's not the only waitress there perfect person to be the manager excellent customer service always from her we love her great choice read more

I'm so sad my favorite waitress Rachel wasn't here this last Wednesday night. She's normally here every Wednesday and it makes me so sad she wasn't here to wait my husband and I! I love this place but she makes it even better! Bring Rachel back ((: read more

Went for Jazz night... the music was fine, however the service was absolutely abysmal. Pretty disappointing because I was hoping it would be a new regular spot. Had to ask for water... and napkins... we ordered two of the same cocktails and they tasted completely different, and there were multiple simple requests of our dinner order that they messed up on. Just a really strange experience. Oh well, we gave it a try! read more

First time trying this place and it did not disappoint. Our server was great. The food was incredible! We had the prime rib, the macadamia-crusted cod, and the BLTA (that was like 1/2 a lb of bacon!!) Great food and great vibe. Will definitely be back! read more

Been coming to Mr. Peabody's for over 25 years! The new manager is ineffective and obsessed with coasters and touching customers drinks. Cleaned the table with a napkin while we were eating! He's Gotta Go! Otherwise as always, the staff, atmosphere, and food are fabulous! Prime Rib 12oz read more

The prime rib is to die for. The portions are high. My favorite dessert is the Mud pie.

I've come here more than once hoping every time it might get better and the service is worse and worse. The friendly, but super inattentive bartender with short blonde hair gave me one drink and never came back. Seemed like she couldn't figure out how to cut convos with the regulars in there. Never asked if I wanted food or another drink and I would have had both. Sucks cause I like this place but just can't justify giving them my business anymore. Signed, Disappointment. read more

Update: showed up yesterday around 6:00 pm and waited at the hostess stand. I was passed by several servers- nobody ever acknowledged my presence whatsoever. Five minutes goes by. In standing there. Ten minutes. Nothing. Chef in back notices, but front of house staff do not. Blond waitress with longer wavy hair checks her cell phone. Still no acknowledgement. I'm not small. I was right at the stand/front door. It was not very busy. WTF!?!? We ended up walking away. It will be a while before we go back- there are way too many options around town for that kind of horrible service. read more

First off, I have been coming to Peabody's for years and it used to be better. But make no mistake, they still have deals during their happy hour times for decent food. (In a nutshell it's $5 tacos and nearly $5 for inconsistent Bloody Marys and "Manmosas" until 2PM daily. Hnd then at 3PM, they have other well drinks specials for about the same price and bar food...the fish tacos are actually pretty damn good!) However, be warned that no modifications is the rule now. Also, your service will take a while and sometimes a very long time because they deal with volume. So if you're cool with day drinking deals (that have recently gone up in price) and decent food and service, then go and enjoy the location near the coast. Also, the bathrooms are sometimes VERY gross, but please tip your server still. The management is not her fault. You go for a deal, please be a good human. Cheers read more

Good food and good service, especially for a Monday night. We were disappointed the onion rings were no longer on the menu even though the website said they were available. The chicken quesadilla was very good. read more

Was there today at around 3pm music was so loud decided to have a beer and eat somewhere else asked the waitress (Jennifer) I think but nothing she could do talked to bartender she said the guys at the bar paid for the music and refused to turn the volume down so we didn't stay to eat and just thought you should know read more

Worst place in town! Dirty! Dark! Needs to update everything form their Tables/Flooring/Glasses/Staff/Food! Wont be back!

The food is ok but the music is so loud with the tv going and people trying to talk. I don't get it. We stopped going there read more

Fish N Chips are delish. Not a fan of the tarter sauce. Very soupy with no flavor. Fries were over cooked and brown. Couldn't eat them. Macaroni salad was good. read more

The place is a sports bar with enough to allow you to stay in touch with whatever game you're coming in to watch. Just be sure you know what kind of beer you want before you go in. God forbid you want a one ounce pour to try something new. The buffalo chicken salad was ok but the wings were definitely subpar. Nice waitress but, I don't think I'll be back. read more

Love Peabodys. Been going here for 25 years on and off. Totally consistent, great staff, nice people. Gotta love their live music!!! The food is greasy and delicious, don't come here if you're on a diet LOL or just drink a skinny margarita if they are willing to make that for you. Can't wait to go back and get their chicken wings! read more

First time here; the food was very good but the waitress was so rude; never had experienced something like that. She saw me and my husband and I and took a while to even greet us; when she did she was very rude and as a Hispanic lady I felt she was being racist. She's a brunette with bangs. With service like that I will not go back. read more

Horrible service waited 15 minutes for a server to take my order and no one ever showed. It wasn't even busy.

Great local bar and restaurant. Really good comfort food with great prime rib. Try the chicken club...it's my son's favorite.

Come here for the $20 prime rib dinner with sautéed mushrooms or seasonal vegetables and choice of potato. The best deal in town for decent tasting prime rib that is covered in au jus. You can ask for separate horse radish in addition to the creamy horseradish sauce that they serve it with. Happy hour drinks until 6pm with $3.75 house wine and well cocktails. Prime rib is served starting at 4pm. read more

Came last Wednesday jonesing for some wings and this one of the best spots in San Diego County for them. Happy hour deal so the price was right, service on point and wings were terrific! Had 10 wings, came within a breathe of over eating. Totally worth it! read more

Mr Peabody's - Burgers Near Me - Encinitas, California

My husband and I grabbed dinner here the other night after reading the review about it in the San Diego Reader. It was way nicer than we anticipated! We honestly thought it would be a lot more divey. And the crowd was a little older, which we actually enjoyed. It was nice going to a bar and not being surrounded by a ton of people that are out of control. We arrived in time for happy hour and both tried fish tacos, ribs, and wings. All were good, but the ribs were amazing! And an amazing deal at 75 cents each?! They also have $3 Budweisers and Coors light during happy hour (and $3 wells and $3 cab or chard). The other non-happy hour food that came out looked great! The salads were huge! We are going to come back to try other items for sure. The service was great, and the atmosphere was nice. We will definitely come back if we are in the area. read more

My husband and I have coming here for over 3 years. It's absolutely the BEST place to get breakfast, have happy hour, or just enjoy a great meal. The food is excellent but the staff is eve better!!! Valerie is awesome behind the bar and Kay and Matt are second to none serving the tables! Cheers to Arturo Que buen trabajo! We will see you next weekend or sooner!!!!! read more

I live just down the street from this restaurant and never had a good meal here we decided to try it again the food was horrible the service is worse I cannot believe the bad attitude these people display and they just don't care, You would think during these times they would try extra hard to win back business we try to support local business but this is one we just can't! I would read it the worst restaurant and service we've been to it in Encinitas and we've been here since the mid-70s. Worst of all instead of being helpful and responsive they are defensive and take no ownership over their bad food and poor service, After reading some of the other reviews I can see that managements response is always blaming the customer and never taking any action read more

Good prices, best chicken sandwich ever. I went twice in one week because I enjoyed the sandwich so much. They have live music and great deals on alcohol read more

The bartender was great and served solid drinks. The patrons were all having a great time and the bar was packed. The live band was rocking. There is currently a petition going around to allow dancing. I cannot wait for the city to approve this because the musical line up at Peabody's looks amazing. I'm a dancer and look forward to being able to let loose without worry. We're new to the area and have been searching for our "second home" bar. It looks like we may have found it. Looking forward to checking out all the live bands and looking forward to making new friends. read more

Excellent food! Sometimes the wait can be long but is all worth it. Cobb salad is delicious and the wings are amazing.
