Mr. Peabody's: Where Delicious Burgers Meet Great Live Music in Encinitas

Mr. Peabody Bar and Grill Review Nestled at 136 Encinitas Blvd, just a stone’s throw from the Pacific Ocean, Mr. Peabody Bar and Grill offers a fantastic dining experience with an unbeatable location. Our evening began at “The Regal Seagull,” where a kind woman named Shelly recommended Mr. Peabody’s just before closing time. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a friendly bartender who told us to sit wherever we liked and assured us that a waitress or waiter would assist us shortly. We visited on a Wednesday night and were thrilled to discover their wonderful happy hour deals on both food and beverages. Our party ordered a variety of dishes, starting with appetizers like potato croquettes, and followed by main courses including wings, baby back ribs, shrimp cocktail, a chicken sandwich, and onion soup. Every dish was flavorful and exceeded our expectations. The happy hour pricing provided incredible value for the quality and quantity of food we enjoyed. A special shout-out to our excellent waitresses, Kaylyn and Alyssa. They were exceptionally friendly, attentive, and gave great recommendations that enhanced our dining experience. Adding to the vibrant atmosphere, there was a classic rock cover band playing some timeless hits that did not disappoint. The live music was a perfect backdrop to our enjoyable evening. Mr. Peabody Bar and Grill is a gem in Encinitas, ideal for a casual night out with friends or a cozy dinner by the ocean. With excellent service, delicious food, and unbeatable happy hour deals, it’s a must-visit spot. Highly recommended!

My fourth time here but my first review. Came here before for breakfast which was pretty good but not worthy of a review. This time around I had the happy hour pork ribs, wings, and loaded baked potato. The ribs were tender the chicken wings were tasty little spicy two and a little big potatoes always good. The service all four times has been pretty good, some are more on the salty side which sort of fits the area near the sea but nonetheless they’ve been professional. Definitely check out the happy hour I think it’s worth the price and get there early before it gets too busy.

The server really struggled the night we were there. But I love the atmosphere and the live band. Food was pretty typical bar food.

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

I visited Mr. Peabody’s Bar & Grill on a Sunday night and was blown away by the experience. The highlight? The Jazz Jam Session featuring the incredible David Borgo and his talented friends. Their performance was nothing short of mesmerizing—a treat for any jazz enthusiast. The food is good—classic bar and grill fare that hits the spot—but let's be honest: the real reason to come here on a Sunday night is the music. The atmosphere was vibrant, the musicians were top-notch, and the crowd clearly shared the same love for jazz. If you're a fan of live music, you absolutely won’t be disappointed. I promise! Whether you're a local or just passing through Encinitas, make Mr. Peabody's your Sunday night destination. You’ll leave with your heart full of jazz and your soul thoroughly satisfied. Highly recommended!

Great food, went here for live music and was not disappointed! Prime rib was good for its price, esp with the sides (I’d rec getting bacon on the side as you get more). Get extra au jous. Pls do not get the cheesecake. Potentially one of the worst cheesecakes I’ve had in my life. Pls do not get the cheesecake. It’s so bad. Pls. Good food. Good vibe. Awful cheesecake (do not get).

We went here to watch the Packers game it was pretty nice they put on whatever game you need cuz there's lots of TVs and actually the food was pretty good for bar food I was pleasantly surprised!! Our dark-haired waiter I think his name was Steve was super cool.

Great deal on the Prime Rib — only $19.99 for dinner Thursday through Sunday! You can’t beat that. The medium rare was cooked perfectly, and all the servers were super kind and checked in often to make sure everything was okay. Definitely coming back!
