I wish I didn't have to give it stars in order to write a review because this experience doesn't deserve any. The waitress was nice enough but under-experienced, in my opinion. I ordered fried cod, which was delicious, and the portion was too big for me. There were two very large filets so I took one home. It came with a choice of two sides, so I got fried okra and a Cesar salad. The okra was good, but there was so much dressing on the salad that the croutons became sponges, making them soggy. My husband ordered chicken fried steak with French fries and red beans and rice. The steak had soft, under-cooked breading, which we brought to our server's attention and were met with, "oh, I'm sorry" with no offer to re-do it, discount the meal or anything. He loves chicken fried steak, but he could only stomach about one-fourth of this one. Believe me, he has a healthy appetite. In addition, she never came back to refill our drinks or clear plates from the table. We still had the complementary bread plates on the table when she brought the bill. My food was acceptable, except for the salad. She brought the ticket and told us she would be our cashier and we still had all of the dishes on the table. My fork was filthy, so I needed a new one. I was facing the kitchen and could see at least eight employees, but not one of them would make eye contact. My husband got up and got a clean(er) fork from someone other than our server. She wasn't in view. I don't think I have to say it, but it was the worst time I've ever had at The Black-Eyed Pea. For the cost of their food, I prefer to eat elsewhere. We don't go to town that often so this trip was planned and we were looking forward to it. Sad.
