10. Rimel's

We didn't actually dine in but we ordered in from Uber Eats. We had just gotten to the beach house we had rented and wanted to unload and catch the sunset so decided to order in. I jump at the chance to order organicish foods (antibiotic free, hormone free, etc) so we went with Rimel's. My husband and kiddo got the 100 percent grass fed sirloin burgers and they were AMAZING. Especially ordered on Sourdough with the jalapenos...SO GOOD. My mother in law got the chicken and potato quesadilla and was super happy with it, though I didn't try it. I got the organic mixed field greens salad and a rotisserie chicken with siracha dipping sauce. It also came with some sort of slaw but it was filled with onions and I am not an onion fan so I passed. My dinner was healthy and perfect (I skipped the dipping sauce as it was pretty thick...almost aioli like) but flat out, I wish I had gotten the burger. It was worth the cheat. Thankfully my kid left some on his plate...I didn't hesitate to swoop in on it. :-) It was a little spendy so if you're on a budget, this is not going to be your place.

We pulled in to the parking lot to turn around after a lovely trip up the coast from San Diego and decided to stay for lunch. We were delighted to find a great selection of craft beer and a delicious tri tip Thursday lunch special. Very pleased with our choice to stop here!

The Beachside Bar and Grill is known for their tacos. I ordered the Carne Asada tacos and they were the best Iâve ever had, absolutely delicious. The meat was so tender and seasoned perfectly. The tacos are served with a delicious salsa along with chips. The staff is super friendly! We were visiting the San Diego area and made a trip to Encinitas and had lunch here. Definitely adding lunch here again on our future trips. I will be thinking of these tacos all the way back to Texas and forever!

Mr. Peabody's is a cleaned up dive bar. BUT . . . we've been there recently for dinner on a Saturday night (packed) and breakfast (yes, breakfast!!!) today. The food is pretty incredible. We thoroughly enjoyed breakfast complete with rock and roll playing in the background, great $1.50 egg tacos, one of the best chicken fried steaks with sausage gravy my husband has ever had (and he's had a lot!) and all served by a friendly waitress. We are definitely going back. Dinner the other night was fun too. Chicken wings, fish and chips, roast beef, etc. and great entertainment. That night they had someone who sounded just like Janice Joplin. I highly recommend Mr. Peabody's!

Shares the Pesto Chicken Flatbread. Itâs made with chicken, basil, oven roasted tomatoes, bacon, mozzarella and parmesan cheese, all on a flat bread. It came out looking like a pizza. It was just prefect to share for our mid day lunch. Nice open air interior. The on street parking is always a pain. Always busy.

Reviewed By rokkap
Encinitas Ale House was a packed pub, and very very noisy. Discussion was practically impossible, probably so patrons can concentrate on drinking.Beer selection was wide, and IPAs OK. However, my Clam Chowder was only average, and my Calamari not good at all; all breading, way over-fried. Service was expedient, but nothing to write home about.So many way better experiences in the Encinitas neighborhood.

Classic California restaurant full of entitled millennials to serve you. Arrived in the valet lot only to find and Iâm noxious attendant that âwelcomed usâ to the restaurant. We came to go to the upstairs bar but that was not open on a Saturday afternoon. We were Crammed into the dark, cold downstairs area as they probably didnât have enough employees to work the full restaurant⦠Hereâs the good news the ice was cold and so was the beer. We ordered a roll that had questionable texture on the raw fish. Not very flavorful⦠Deciding not to order additional items seem to irritate the waiter. Upon our decision to leave the valet attendant helped three different patrons that were behind us in line before they helped us. It then took over 15 minutes to bring my vehicle from some lot elsewhere. As a parting gift the valet obnoxiously asked for a tip. Overrated and entitled when there are many other places to go.
