First time at this location and I hadn't eaten at a Blacked-Eyed Pea in a long time. Came over for a quick bite to eat before shopping at the Outlets. Our server, Ashlyn, was very friendly, attentive, professional and efficient. Since I love chicken pot pies, I was happy to see they had it on the menu. My friend ordered a salad, which was huge. I had my chicken pot pie with a side of onion rings and beer and she had her salad with a soft drink. Both came out quickly and were well-prepared and delicious. Prices were very reasonable and this is a great place to eat before or after shopping. They also provide a military discount. read more

Came here on a Friday night with my dad. We were seating right away and the food came out rather quickly as well. The booths were uncomfortable though and kind of small. Coming from California I have never really had this type of food. Not exactly my cup of tea but it did the trick and did not break the bank at all. Our waiter was great, he was busy and stayed on top of our drinks and food. The best part about the meal was the bread. I honestly didn't know what I was ordering. lol with the potatoes and meat, it was okay but if i come back I will give something else a go. My dad really liked his meal. Overall 3.5/5 Stars read more

Amazing service and great food. So hard to find good southern food in the Midwest. Also nearly impossible to find sweet tea anywhere, let alone good sweet tea. We will definitely be coming back. It's a nice change of pace compared to other establishments. I hope they stick around, Castle Rock needs better variety and more restaurants. read more

This location is great for travelers up and down I 25! Easy on & off access, with plenty of parking. If you're looking to do some shopping, the Outlets at Castle Rock are right there too. Black-eyed Pea is known for its home style cooking & I've eaten here many times before. This location is now open for breakfast on Saturdays & Sundays. We arrived around noon for lunch & we're seated immediately. Unfortunately there was almost no AC when we were there & it was very warm. Our server was friendly & attentive, checking on us often. We ordered one of the Home Style Favorites, Chicken Fried Steak & the Rocky Mountain (marinated) Steak Salad. The Chicken Fried Steak was quite tasty & the gravy was great too! I wished the sweet potato was prepared a little more, such as opening it & adding butter on top, maybe even marshmallows. In spite of the Steak Salad being big, I thought it was a little pricey. The greens were fresh, nevertheless it was pretty plain, it only came with tomatoes & blue cheese crumbles, which I omitted. It was topped with fried mushrooms that seemed out of place, however they were crispy & flavorful. The steak was cooked perfectly & there was a lot of it thru out the dish. I couldn't taste the marinade flavor tho. Next time I'll try their Summer BBQ Menu, but you can't go wrong with sticking with the Home Style Favorites! read more

First time to a Black Eyed Pea in more than 25 years. Service wasn't great throughout. Our drinks sat empty for a long time, and our waitress, who was helpful when we could find her, disappeared for long stretches. My wife and I both had the grilled chicken, which she had raved about from a previous visit. A lot of food, the first piece was tough and dry, but my second piece was good. Completely different consistency and taste for that water. Corn was delicious, but steamed broccoli was about what you'd expect. I'll try a different side next time and maybe also the cajun spiced chicken or something else. One daughter loved the chicken fried steak on the first visit, and liked this one too, although she said it was a bit chewy. She did say the Caesar salad was pretty good. Mashed potatoes were salty. The other daughter really enjoyed her turkey dinner. She thought the stuffing was a bit gooey, but she likes it that way, so I guess that's a good thing. Mac and cheese was fair, but she thought the cinnamon apples were delicious. I'll give the food a four, and service gets a two, just because it was nonexistent when we needed it. Not the cheapest dinner out there, coming in at more than $25/person with drinks, tax, and tip, at least it's a huge menu, so you've got plenty of options. We don't frequent a lot of the area chains, but I'm guessing we'll be back at some point when we're in the mood. read more

Service was great, food was incredible!!! I'm from the South & this was definitely done right. They have a great menu selection, huge portions, fair pricing & did I mention how GOOD the food was! The restaurant was pretty full but not too packed. Very thankful they were able to accommodate 6 adults & 2 kids. We all had a great experience. read more

The food was average at best. I ordered the chicken Marsala. It was not seasoned and the chicken was tougher than leather. The glass I had my drink in was plastic and smelled like soap and Pepsi zero. I was not happy. My daughter had the buffalo Mac and cheese and she told me it was not good. It had way too much buffalo sauce and the chicken again had no flavor or seasoning. My wife however had a much better experience with the vegetable platter and broccoli and cheese soup. The fried pickles were also okay. The salads were good until my daughter found A piece of steel wool in her salad. I really wanted to give the server good marks. But they did not even address or apologize for the steel wool being in my daughter's salad. So to be fair i can only give two stars at best. The manager never came over or nothing. The place was only 3 stars to begin with but we had to go because are friends like the place. Next time they go alone. read more

It's been a while since I last visited a Black-eyed Pea. I visited the Black-eyed Pea in Lakewood on various occasions in the past. It's taken me a while to visit this BEP location. Wish I didn't wait so long. A favorite menu item of mine is their Liver & Onions. I love how they serve it with a homemade gravy. My only feedback is that they could've offered a bit more steamed broccoli and more onions. I asked for extra onions when ordering and the amount of onions appeared to be regular portion size. Other than that, the food was good and consistent. I dined here on a Tuesday evening at about 5:30 PM and it wasn't that crowded. When I finished my meal, patrons started to flow in. I love how it wasn't that crowded when I dined here. I will probably return again at the same time. Watch those dinner rolls! They go down easy! They serve them before your main entree arrives. Betcha can't eat just one! Liver & Onions was good. Loved dipping the liver in that delicious gravy. I'm looking forward to my next visit here. They also offer a daily special. On Tuesdays they offer Beef Stroganoff. I will definitely return on a Tuesday. If you haven't been to BEP and enjoy home cooking in a nice old school atmosphere, I recommend checking them out. Also, staff is very friendly. The young man who waited on me was friendly and personable. Hope you have a pleasant experience! read more

My husband & Me flew in from San Diego, CA to visited my mother in law. First thing we did was we came straight from the Denver Airport and we went to Black Eyed Pea to eat because I love their Huge Chicken Pot Pie they made the best Pot Pie. We walk in and the Chef seated us. I told him we came in for your delicious Pot Pie. He said oh we only serve Pot Pie on Wednesday, so I was so sad & told him we came from SD, CA. We leave back to SD on Wednesday And he said let me see if I have any. He came back yes, I have 2 left, I will put it in oven but it will take 20 minutes. I said please we will wait. I was so happy, thank you so much. You made my day, he is so sweet, very understanding, great service and great food I don't remember his name, it's either Chef Kevin, or Kurt, or Curtis. I am so sorry . Please let him know and the waitress too ( great service) keep up the great service We were there Friday 02-13-26 around 3 pm read more

I have seen this place for years, but never gave it a thought, until tonight. That was my mistake. This place a great, old school, down home place. As an appetizer the fried green beans are excellent. Great flavor to the breading and the beans stay nice and crisp. Thanks To our waiter for suggesting them. The wait staff was all very friendly and helpful. The portions are large (although I hear that they used to be even bigger), I was able too eat too much. The chicken fried steak was everything that you'd want in a chicken fried steak...and the gravy put it over the top. Meals come with 2 sides, I went for the tater tots...which were fine, but the same fried tots you'd get anywhere...the broccoli and rice casserole was the one big let down of the meal. The must have 20 options for a side, so skipping this one is easy enough. The Cobb salad is a very generous portion (although it did still come with blue cheese, when it had been ordered without that). The third person in our group had the pot roast and meatloaf dinner. She loved both the pot roast and the meatloaf. Their desserts look amazing, but after the huge, heavy meals they serve, I don't know if I could eat all that in one sitting. read more

We come here every year around Thanksgiving (not on the exact day) to enjoy the turkey dinner experience. This year was disappointing compared to previous. Even though we are obviously seniors, we were given the regular menus. Then we had to ask for the senior menus. maybe they don't want seniors to be aware of the special pricing. Prices everywhere are going up, but here they increased way more than we were expecting. The portions on salmon and ham steak were surprisingly small. Turkey portion was ok. Dressing with turkey was just barely warm. Service was fine. Usually, the dining area is fairly crowded when we have gone. Today, there were only two or three other tables occupied. Perhaps because it was the day before Thanksgiving, or perhaps others have also observed that it is not as great as it used to be. Ambiance-wise, we enjoyed the good variety of songs. read more

I took my three granddaughters over to eat at Black Eyed Peas and they were just amazed that they had such excellent food. They were 9, 11 and 14 years old at the time. When we got ready to leave, they said can we please come back here? I said, of course my husband loved eating their.. read more

Service was great and our server is really on top of everything. Casual American dining, food is nothing special but very filling and also decent being priced appropriately for the portions they gave. We were surprised considering the low star rating but glad we went there. Building/facility is oldish but really a solid restaurant with great portion and service. read more

I go here about three times a year and usually order the vegetable plate. Just went today and ordered the sweet potato, broccoli and rice, onion rings, and squash casserole. All was good except the squash casserole. It was inedible. it tasted like it was 90% sugar, 10% squash. when the server came by, I told her they should not be serving that. She said that's what most people said and asked if I wanted anything else. It was at the end of our meal so I declined. Not the best service either. Seriously, remove that item from your menu. It was disgusting. read more

My Saturday mens group met for breakfast (5th Saturday). I called the day prior to make sure they knew we were coming and they had the table all set. Then 5 more guys showed up and, with Megan's help, we added more room! Drink orders were taken quickly and Megan delivered them perfectly! Orders also came out quickly and everyone got real quiet while we ate. Absolutely no complaints unless one says I got to much to eat. The staff did everything to make our breakfast great ... near privacy, GREAT service, quality breakfast. They bend over backwards. We'll be back! read more

We were in a pinch for breakfast and who knew this place would over deliver! It wasn't crowded, they had a great food and service was really good. Not a ton of breakfast places in CR, this is worth a stop if you're hungry and like traditional fare. read more

The food and the service is wonderful. This is my go to place on the weekends because it's the only Black Eyed Peas that serves breakfast.

Ill agree with other reviews on price increase and less portions, really unfortunate that that is just the times we're living in. The taste and freshness are still there which will keep me coming back as well as the friendly service. read more

Our food was warm and delicious. The server was friendly and made sure our needs were taken care of.

A very comfortable place with a lot of comfort foods! Started with quick service and helpful staff, a nice fresh warm roll to start us off. We went with the Shepherds Pie and Pot Roast. Very large portions and very tasty, like I made them at home! The spiced apple side was delicious. The server was on top of it and when we were stuffed and ready to go, the check was quick to arrive and the payment faster! read more

This used to be an OK place to go and get a filling, home style meal. Last time I was there I was disappointed so I decided to give it one more try. I will say that the one bright spot here is generally the servers and mine was good. But so much has changed - they used to bring you a basket of corn bread and rolls and they did away with the corn bread during COVID and never brought it back. They would have honey on the table for it (but sadly, they told me long ago they had to stop leaving the honey on the table because people were stealing it). The rolls are OK but nothing special, and the two rolls were accompanied by a tiny amount of butter (not even enough for one roll) in a little paper cup. They also did away with the lunch specials, which were a perfect size (one slice of meat loaf instead of two, for example). Now you can only get the full-sized meal, which is a lot for lunch. In general, the menu has far fewer choices than it used to have. None of my food was very warm, and the brown gravy (which I ordered on the side) had a scum of hardened gravy on top. The mashed potatoes were pretty hard (and cold) and the kernel corn was swimming in water. The soda was flat. I know I could have requested that the server warm up my food, but I was in a bit of a hurry so I just ate it as it was. Families with kids seem to like this place, as well as older people, but I find most of the food to be pretty bland. And this location badly needs to be remodeled. They tore out the carpet a while ago (that was good) but left a polished cement floor. The tables are old and it's one of those places where everything just generally feels sticky. I'm sorry I don't enjoy the food more, because it's one of the few places left where you can get this type of food. But in the end, my meat loaf lunch with a soft drink was well over $20 when I added a tip. I know everything is expensive now, but that's a lot of money for an unsatisfying lunch. read more

Let's start by discussing how dirty our server's apron was...EW! That was off putting tonsay the least. My son and I both felt like the French fries were the best part of the meal. (One hamburger and one turkey burger). The odd thing is we started at Chili's across the street and left after standing and waiting to be seated for more than 5 minutes with no one else in line and only maybe 15 people in the restaurant read more

This is the first old people Black-eyed Pea that does not smell. I understand that we will all get older, I just appreciate that it does not smell. Yes my parents are part of that age group in their early eighties. This particular restaurant also seems newer or cleaner. Either way my wife and I will definitely come to this one from now on even though we live in North Denver. Hailei was busy but still able to multi-task. Food was good as always and not as salty as other Black-eyed Pea. My wife had the chicken, bacon Mac n cheese. I tried the chicken con on bleu. read more

Worst meal in months. -Turkey dinner, cold stuffing, underwhelming cranberries, gravy had been sitting on the meat long enough to be moving toward solid, cinnamon apples were okay, but watery. Service was fine, but in case you think it's me being picky, my wife ate a quarter of her meal...pot roast. The potato skins were good and the drinks were fine. Never again. read more

We took a drive out to Castle Rock to pick up my eyeglasses and decided it was time to have a bite to eat. Since we wound up near the outlet mall we figured we'd find someplace we could both have something to chow down on. There we found Black Eyed Pea. The menu selection was Nirvana for my guy. He was raised on southern cooking and he was excited at the prospects available. He ordered Grilled Catfish in a lemon butter sauce and I found a broccoli cheese potato. Mmmm... The entrees come with sides and they have 15 selections to choose from. I've never tried fried green tomatoes so I ordered that as an appetizer. They were coated in cornmeal and fried. Very tasty! The greatest part of the meal? My other half was able to eat and not once was there a sound from his side of the table That's a good thing really. Having teeth pulled has limited his meal choices and here, he can actually eat and enjoy dinner time with me. The BEP has a bar which was a surprise and they serve dessert. Sadly I was too full to try any. Next time for sure! The best part is the food available reminds my guy of his family meals and since he's waiting for his teeth situation to be remedied really soon he plans on eating his way through this menu. We'll be back for sure. read more

Food was a 4+, server was a negative so average out to a 2. Menu is quite extensive and descriptions of the offerings was much more food than we wanted for a light lunch. As soon as we sat down, server was there offering starters and other extras we did not want. I ordered half and half with soup and Caesar salad both of which were delicious, others in my party split a sandwich order which they both said was very good. When the server brought the order within a reasonable amount of time, she dropped the orders and we didn't see her again until it was time to clear plates and kind of inquire about dessert. Back to the food, the clam chowder (New England) was excellent, among the best I have had in the area and it was served hot which is not often the case. Portions were good size and we left not wanting. I would gladly return for the clam chowder and probably try some other menu items but only if I had a different server. read more

Haven't been here in a while, I remembered them having pretty big chicken tenderloins so my wife and I figured we'd give them a shot even though it was $20 for chicken tenders we thought it might be worth it, but here they are, no bigger than say Popeyes or raising canes..definitely not $20 worth of food. We used to love this place but seems like the prices got outrageous over the last few years. Another restaurant that thinks they can over charge just because they're in castle rock. read more

We checked in for lunch at the Castle Rock Black Eyed Pea while on a shopping trip to the local outlet mall ... The service was quick and friendly , the restaurant was very clean and inviting , nice and quiet ( ish ). We chose from the Lunchtime menu and had the meatloaf and the Pot Roast ; both were excellent. I had the mashed taters and gravy with glazed carrots and it was just as I had expected and hoped for , super succulent juicy carrots and nice soft pillowy taters. The coffee was exceptionally good, it was bold and earthy ; not what I had expected. I had two cups... A quick lunch and then back to the essentials , it was pleasant and relaxing. Take a load off your feet for a short while and have a relaxing tasty country Dinner / lunch . :) read more
