“ From the moment I walked into Mr Peabody’s, I knew I was in for something special. The shrimp, carne asada, and birria tacos were absolutely amazing—packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and clearly made with care. Each bite was better than the last. The staff was top notch—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. A standout moment was when the owner personally stopped by my table, introduced herself, and even corrected my meal without me having to say a word. That kind of proactive service is rare and really left an impression. The vibe of the place was just as impressive as the food. The regulars were incredibly kind and welcoming—I felt like part of the family from the get-go. A special shoutout to Will and Vickie for the great conversations and warm hospitality. I’ll absolutely be back. Mr Peabody’s isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a community. ”
“ Our server was extremely helpful. She was very kind and able to make small jokes that made our meals more fun. My only concern was the server who took our plates didn't say a word and had a blank stare the whole time. ”
“ Even though the baseball game was on, the whole experience from the appetizer of French fries and onion rings to the burgers, and the refillable drinks were great. Never once did we have to ask Michelle for refills on our drinks, and we didn't feel "rushed" to make room for more customers.. ”
“ This is a regular go-to for us to eat lunch. Their burgers, onion rings, fries, wings, chicken strips and chicken sandwiches are all reliable and delicious. They recently had to raise prices a bit due to inflation but the portions are definitely worth the prices and you can go on select days for their special menu pricing. Wednesdays have traditionally been the wings special and I recommend the habanero and regular buffalo mixed together on them. We also like to split a bssket of Frings (fries and wings) when we go. Definitely recommend giving them a shot. ”
“ The staff is always super friendly and greets us warmly! I love the sunrise burger with a turkey patty it's so hard to find a good turkey burger so Peabodys takes the win for that! ”
“ I've been here about 3 to 4 times in the last 6 years. It is in a very convenient location right on Friars and offers a nice, warm, welcoming meal with a casual atmosphere when I'm coming home from SeaWorld. I've had their mushroom Swiss burger, their patty melt, tater tots and fries. They have salads and tacos as well. All very good, it all looks fresh made and I'm always happy with the quality. It has a casual diner feel with a long wood bar and tall wood booths. They have an outside patio as well that always looks busy. Some of the cheapest liquor and beer in the area. Follow me for more reviews in California, Texas, Arizona New Mexico, Washington, Wisconsin and more! ”
“ Awesome burgers!! And five stars for the golden French fries. Stays open late and the service is great. I will definitely be returning with my whole crew Yar!!! ”
“ I would definitely recommend this place. Its a small hole in the wall local place. Fresh cooked food. And a good selection of beer for those who enjoy it. We all ordered something different (my boys, husband and myself) and everything tasted great. We plan on coming back before we head back home. ”
