My husband and I live in Lakewood, CO and did not realize that the restaurant in our neighborhood had permanently closed. Our order through Doordash was cancelled and was rerouted to Westminster without our knowing it and our pickup order was cancelled. Kera (sounded like a manager) handled all of the confusion with such grace and skill, told me exactly what she thought would work in this situation and was very kind in making things work out perfectly for me. If she's not a manager, she should be! read more

Food was very good. Service was great! Eaten at the Pea many times starting back in the 2000s. Typical Pea ambiance although it has been updated some. read more

Black-eyed Pea is one of our favorite family restaurants and we have been going there for years. This location goes above and beyond with service, hospitality, and tasty food! Everything we ordered was really good, fresh, and comforting. There's so many ways to define comfort food but this place has nailed it down! Delicious, traditional favorites cooked just right! read more

My husband and I grab dinner here at least once a week and always find the food reminiscent of dinner at Grandma's. If you're looking for a new-wave-fusion-flimsy-portion meal, do not come here. The portions are generous and do not deviate from what I will call traditional southern meals. I have not met an unfriendly server or other customer-facing BEP employee. Bottom Line - If you want a nice, traditional Americana-style meal and want to be FULL when you leave, this is a good dining option. read more

With the current high cost of living and prices everywhere being astronomically high, it is very difficult to even eat out once a month. I was disappointed that a simple chicken dinner at the Black Eyed Pea is over $20 for one person-Really?!?! We ate at the Black-Eyed Pea in Westminster, Co. recently and spent $65 for lunch for the two of us. Our tea was never refilled and we were basically ignored and massively overcharged. The table behind us was offered a choice of rolls and we were only given three rolls and not offered any additional bread. We saw our waitperson twice and the service was super slow even though the restaurant was fully staffed. We were the only people of color in the restaurant and this could possibly be the reason. The female hostess acted aloof and was rude as well. I can honestly say that we will never return to The Black-eyed Pea as it is not worth the money and is a giant rip off. read more

Unprofessional wait staff, hostile environment. For an unknown reason the server singled me out for hostile treatment, ignoring me. After 10 minutes (and 3 loops of the server making sure everyone else in the section had what they needed) I flagged someone down from another section for service. Another 10 minutes later, I flagged them down again and asked what the deal was, they couldn't give me an answer. I paid for my drink and appetizer and left, guess that what they wanted. I'm always polite and tip well. We went to Chili's and had a great lunch with friendly wait staff. read more

We go there at least once a month with our group of six seniors.....sometimes just four of us. We meet our friends there because it's close for all of us. We all like the food (one lady in our group "ALWAYS" orders the turkey dinner because of her dietary choices.). The wait staff knows who we all are and one waiter knows I like the shorter table because of my height. You can't go bad with any of their menu items. For some reason I got hooked on their baked cod & rice.....no pun intended. John, one of the managers is always so pleasant & helpful! I do highly recommend this southern comfort type of cuisine that includes items like Mama's meatloaf, chicken fried steak, chicken fried chicken & pot roast to name a few. read more

There used to be a Black Eyed Peas restaurant in Phoenix, and it seems like many people don't grasp that its focus is on traditional American cuisine. This style is fundamental, embodying the essence of what American food originally was - substantial, corn-fed, quintessentially American dishes. It's all about generous portions of homemade, wholesome, and straightforward fare, not about being fancy or overly intricate. Unfortunately, in Arvada, people don't seem to appreciate how great this restaurant concept is. Moreover, the owners of Black Eyed Peas might not fully understand the challenge they face in conveying their concept to food enthusiasts. Once these foodies experience it, the concept becomes clear and speaks for itself. This place probably is a little back dated and the bathrooms do have a slight smell. But the bathrooms are clean and the restaurant itself is maintained. I love this restaurant. It would be my go to place. read more

First time in this place. Right away from the door we were greeted by a very nice hostess. Our waitress was also really nice, patient and kind. We were family of 3 adults. We ordered Shepherds Pie, Irish Pie and Reuben Sandwich. All dishes were very delicious. The meet in Reuben was incredibly good -- cooked at the restaurant. Definitely great place for lunch or dinner. Loved dinner rolls. read more

Love this variety of foods, excellent service and quick delivery. Dining in is a treat because of the polite family atmosphere & their staff is very helpful & knowledgeable about the menus. GF is an option for the food sensitive - the Shepherd Pie is extraordinary! Highly recommended. read more

Huge shout out to John at Black Eyed Pea!! He hooked us up, AGAIN! I've had a really really rough year and the kindness here helped so much! BEST FOOD and locally owned and operated! He even gave us a Christmas gift knowing we go there for so many years. You just don't find that anymore. 7095 W 88th Ave, Westminster, CO 80021 read more

I had the best birthday brunch with my family. The food was delicious and made perfectly to order. I have to commend our server Bri who was attentive and so sweet. She is a shining example of what great service is all about. 5 stars for her! Please let her know that I appreciated her hard work, she is amazing!

Black-eyed Pea - Bacon lettuce tomato and turkey with a side of corn. - American Near Me - Westminster, Colorado

I go to the Northglenn Black Eyed Pea about once a week. Home cooking at it's finest. Even when crowded, you are seated quickly. The managers and wait staff greet you and are very kind and friendly. (Amber is awesome!) Service is fast, and the food is great. I used to go to TGIF for potato skins, but they changed to some horrible frozen ones that they just warm up. Really awful. Was pleased to see Black Eyed Pea knows how to do them right! You can get 3 or 6. Be hungry if you order 6! They're big and filling! The place could use a bit of a facelift, but it's always clean and comfortable. I can cook most of my old favorites, but don't feel like it. This is spot on and way more convenient. 5 stars, and a few more! read more

Love this restaurant. Large menu, big portions. Nice, quiet atmosphere. Servers are very good. Food is delicious.

For a Thanksgiving dinner on a very busy day, BEP worked out well for us. When we arrived about 2:15 on Thanksgiving, we were advised the wait was at least an hour! We decided to wander over to the bar and as luck would have it, we got two seats together within 5 minutes! The food was good, we were served dinner in about 10 minutes and the bartender/server presented a positive attitude in the very busy situation. A good choice on a day when there are limited restaurants. Well done, but we were lucky - probably would not have waited for an hour or more. read more

We came here for our Thanksgiving Lunch/Dinner today and we had a wonderful meal and time! We were so grateful that they were even open but our server Niko* was awesome!! Despite being extremely busy, he took such good care of us and was very friendly and kind! A huge thank you all the staff who worked today and for serving such a wonderful Thanksgiving meal! Our family couldn't have asked for a better experience! read more

Rude rude rude staff the girl with the tattoos and brown hair is a prime example of how not to act to customers! I came in for a pick up and this girl purposely walked the other way I had to go and ask her for help after she sat someone then walked away! read more

Observed a server who had a very runny nose, looked extremely pale and was coughing constantly - yet still working. (If she'd been our server I would have left.) I watched her filling drinks, picking up food, wiping counters, filling bread baskets - all while coughing. I tried to locate the manager to suggest that she be sent home (seriously dude, COVID is blowing up again and you shouldn't have someone who is so obviously sick working. And of course, not wearing a mask.) There were plenty of other servers there so it clearly wasn't a worker shortage situation. The manager came out of the back room for about 15 seconds to say something to an employee and then disappeared - never saw him again for the hour we were there. If you want a large volume of food and don't mind getting sick, this is the place to go. read more

Ordered delivery for a family feast. Tried the potato skins (amazing!), fried green beans (not my favorite but my husband likes them), pot roast (okay kind of dry), shrimp scampi (super yummy!), thanksgiving dinner (great, has all the flavors!), lastly the fried shrimp (nice crunch, and good flavor). Wish we could dine in but all even delivery the food was still hot and delicious. read more

We have always been greeted pleasantly and served great food here. The manager is very very accommodating and works hard. A great place for Thanksgiving dinner if you chose not to cook. read more

Messed up order with a shellfish allergy offered me 15$ to fix it not great at all and the service wasn't friendly

If you would like to have your thanksgiving ruined then this is the place for you. Wish I could give zero stars. Called placed an order showed up and they didn't know a damn thing about it. Then after finally getting our food I get home and oh what's this it's all wrong. So thanks for ruining our Thanksgiving. This has got to be about the most sorry damn place that I've ever gotten food from. What a joke not even a funny one. Hope they're happy I will NEVER BE BACK. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. And to top things off the food that we got which was wrong also tasted like crap. Will NEVER EVER be back. read more

Came here tonight for dinner. The food was OUTSTANDING and our waiter was even better. Michael is so friendly and made us feel better after a rough night. Love this place! read more

Every time I go here, service is good, hot food is hot, cold food cold, everything fresh. Even senior menu portions are generous for the price. The only thing missing is the corn bread they used to be known for--will it ever come back?! I'd definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

My parents came in town to visit and got excited to go to "The Pea" because they grew up with the restaurant but haven't had one where they live for years. We go put our name in and head to the bar to get a drink while we wait. Over half an hour later my dad goes to see where we are on the list and the hostess says, "Oh we called your name, didn't think to check the bar." .... weird, but we'll move past it I guess. Our waitress seemed like she was normally not even a waitress. She said she'd bring us rolls and cornbread, but never did. She came back to confirm that I ordered corn, but still brought me green beans instead and also didn't bring mine or my mom's baked potato we ordered. We told the guy who brought our food out that three items were missing, and no, no one ever brought them to us. It was probably another 15 minutes before we even saw our waitress again and she barely apologized and was not about to offer us any type of discount for the lack of 3 items and overall terrible service. We got out of there as quickly as possible (probably 2 hours after walking in) and will never be back. read more

We ordered over a $60 meal to be delivered by door dash. Chicken fried chicken and chicken mashed bowl. I'm sick and really feeling awful. Black eyed pea sealed the bag and forgot the cream gravy. Was looking for some comfort food on a night I felt bad. They forgot the cream gravy for both meals. They are over 30 blocks from my house. When I called they offered me gravy and a dessert if I picked it up. Super disappointed and will never order from them again. So much for spending a lot on comfort food when you're feeling bad. read more

It was ok-I don't think anyone really wanted to be our server because we were a party of 6 but 4 of them were kids. Barely saw our server. But what made me choose a 2 star was the fact that I watched the manager wipe his nose and then get my dressings for my salad without washing his hands! Then when i brought it to the attention of the food runner & our waitress they said nothing. It's gross hands down! I'm a waitress and wash my hands every chance I get! Might be awhile before I come back! read more

Great food, excellent service. They were very accommodating to my unique way of ordering! Totally recommend this location (Westminster). All they need to do now is bring back the cornbread! read more

Came here for a birthday and this is where they wanted to eat. I honestly cannot believe this place is still open. Got a chicken fried steak, and it was just a mess. Barely any meat (a quarter of it was missing breading) and the sides we're awful. All of this could be overlooked if it wasn't $14. That is the part that drove me to write this review, I think people have a pretty good idea of what they're getting into when they eat here. But for the price, it seems like robbery. The only reason for the 2 stars was the service. read more

Huge portions of food for very reasonable prices. BEP reminds me of cafeteria food. Simple, not so good for you but o so tasty, and cheap. I could have easily shared my chicken fried chicken patty with 3 other people and still have leftovers. I tried black eyed peas for the first time here, I had to, it's BEP for goodness sake, and they were pretty good. They were cooked with ham and reminded me of eating beans. You'll get never ending rolls and cornbread but don't overdo it or you won't get to you ginormous dinner. The place is hot, like the heater is on blast on high -all of the time. Wear a tank top, even in winter. It's 90degrees inside. read more

The food is good but the service when you order appetizers and you dinner you get it all at once that I did is to get your appetizers way before your dinner they don't understand that read more

Black-eyed Pea - American Near Me - Westminster, Colorado

I7095 W. 88th Ave. Westminster, CO 80021 I ordered a $100.00 thanksgiving dinner for 2020 Thanksgiving. I am recovering from COVID-19. I can't believe there were so many things wrong. I am still running a fever and probably not as quick at decision making. $100.00 is a lot of money. No cornbread's dressing, brown gravy instead of turkey gravy. Pick up was at 1:30 pm. After 45 minutes, she asked ...no order was being prepared. However. They had already charged my credit card. No cranberries, butter, etc. I didn't want to make my daughter go back. Manager offered 20.00 off next meal or go back. Didn't offer refund, delivery.....Worse dinner ever. Christie read more

This place was so nasty after I ate that the spaghetti I got it was so long I didn't even cook it the sauce was like it was like they did a little bit of sauce on it and then once I ordered two it was so cold and then after since we tasted it it tasted like there's nothing like get it I know flavor and then we order some like fish but it was so salty not even a dog would eat it the waitress was rude when we told him he just said oh next time if you come back I'll pick your order for you like it's like we should pick up order not them read more

My friend and I choose a different restaurant each time we get together to catch up on what's going on with our family and friends. I chose the restaurant this time and both of us were extremely pleased with the food and the service even the hostess came and checked on us and talked. The waitress was great and the atmosphere was perfect for just a casual dinner and conversation. The manager walked by and checked on us. Great place for our get togethers will definitely be back. Food was great and plenty of it I took almost half of mine home. I didn't get the waitresses name or the hostess but the hostess went beyond seating us. Five stars for all read more

This was my first time eating at this location, from the moment we opened the door we were greeted and seated. We sat in the bar area which was very roomy, the waitstaff that was working the bar and the tables were busy. They were very attentive to all customers, they seem to do a great to-go business as well. We had the best hand battered fried mushrooms hot at fresh. I have the chicken fried steak and chicken tenders with mashed potatoes and broccoli rice casserole which are both signature dishes, The food was hot and fresh tasted homemade. Great service and food definitely will be coming back!! read more

Poor service, chicken tenders were overcooked. Table top was dirty, shoehorned is into a booth when the bulk of the restaurant was empty. Just clueless. read more

Here's a comment I posted to the Black-Eyed Pea Colorado's Facebook page last night about a service snafu at the Westminster location: I'm very disappointed in poor service tonight. My wife and I stopped at the Westminster BEP on the way home from an event for dessert to take home. I was told I could go to the bar to place my to-go order. The bar had no customers except me. I waited three minutes while the bartender and another bartender or server chatted behind the bar. Neither acknowledged me sitting at the far corner of the bar. When the other woman left, the bartender began making a couple of drinks for one of the servers (female) on the floor who stepped to the bar. At the four-minute mark while making the drink, she looked over at me and said "I'll be right with you." I looked at my watch and said "OK." But after she made the drink she began chatting with another server (male) and began making two drinks for him. When she put the drinks on the tray the server said one wasn't supposed to have salt on the rim. She said the order didn't say that. The server said it did, and the bartender after bantering back and forth picked the order ticket out of the trash and proved the order said one with salt and no notation for the other drink. That meant she won the argument, because the two of them laughed and she quickly made a replacement drink. When the server left, another server came up (who turned out to be Lance, the manager). The two chatted casually and it appeared to me the bartender forgot I was there. I left the bar and asked the young woman at the front door if I could sit in the dining room and place an order to go, since I was ignored at the bar for six minutes. I sat for almost another two minutes until Lance came to ask if I needed any help. I explained what happened and said I wanted to know what the cobbler for the night was. He said he didn't know but he'd check. He came back in another minute and a half and said there was still peach cobbler left. I said I needed to call my wife, who has been waiting in the car. As I began to dial, my phone rang. It was my wife wondering what was taking so long. I told her I had waited at the bar but finally got a table to order, and that peach was available. I ordered the peach cobbler, no ice cream for her and an apple crisp for me with ice cream. Almost three minutes later a woman brought out two bags and my bill. This felt so impersonal, that it pushed me over the edge. I gave her my credit card and asked to meet the manager. Lance came back out. Surprised, I said, "Oh, YOU'RE the manager...." I was surprised because he hadn't acted as if he was the floor manager. He didn't seem very concerned about my being upset -- not even enough to bring me the dessert himself, anyway. I told him I was disappointed in the poor service, but he cut me off and his immediate response was that he thought the bartender was busy. I recounted my experience minute by minute and said she wasn't busy for much of the time I was at the end of the bar. I also said that since he's an employee of color (I assume he's African American) maybe race isn't the reason but that the way I was ignored I started to wonder if it was because I'm Asian American. He assured me there was no racism involved in my treatment. I responded that most of all I was disappointed that not a single employee apologized for the poor service, including the manager: Him. That's when he finally said he was sorry this had happened. I told him that's what I was waiting for -- an apology -- and explained how important customer service is to me. I said how we used to come to the restaurant when it was open previously and were glad it had reopened. He held out his hand to "close the deal" and I shook it, but said I'm wondering if we'd come back given the service tonight. I asked Lance for his name, and left. I just needed to let you know. This could have been an atypical event, and not part of a pattern of customer service. But I believe deeply that customer service is the most important aspect of business -- we'll support restaurants for the service even if the food is merely adequate and the price points too high. But if the restaurant has good food but gives us exceptionally bad service even once, it can ruin the place for us. We may visit other Black Eyed Peas in the area if we want a chain with a reliable comfort food menu. But we probably won't be back to dine at the one on 88th off Wadsworth. read more
