I can't say anything bad about Black Eye Pea, the tasting was great, the set up at the reception was great, the waitstaff at the reception was great, Heather was wonderful to work with, she always kept in touch and responded very quickly, I would definitely use again.

If you are looking for real food that people will enjoy, please call Heather at the Black Eyed Pea! People are still talking about the catfish and chicken. I got more comments about how good the food was than how pretty I looked it! The service was great and the staff blended in very well. I really do not remember seeing them at all but I know they were there! I would use BEP for catering again for sure!

The food was just right for a night full of fun and lots of drinking. We ran out of fruit and the hot food near the end, so you may want to get a little more for your reception especially if it's a large reception or if there will be alcohol. It was great and she was very helpful with getting us the best deal.

Black eyed Pea did an excellent job. From the beginning of the process to the end was really easy and stress free. Heather had great communication and took care of us well to make sure our day was special.

Heather was great from the get go, she's very warm and has a caring personality. I wanted a pasta station but kept hearing great reviews about Heather so I just asked if I could have pasta not thinking she would say yes (being that it's homestyle cooking) but she did. I even wanted the sauce and meat seperate so guests could have a choice. The wedding night Heather and her staff were really great. Everyone loved the food. You really can't beat the price for what you get.

Heather R. and her team are amazing. The food was good and hot even though my hubby and I were late to the reception. I went with Black Eye Pea because I got more bang for my buck and Heather previously worked my venue. I never felt like she was trying to get more money out of us. She honestly answered our questions and gave great recommendations. She recommended my baker, whom I loved. Her staff/team remained professional and the bartender, another Heather, met with us before the wedding to get the drinks right!

Go with BEP, you won't be disappointed with the tablescape on the buffet or the professional service.

Where do I start?! From the very beginning Heather was awesome! She met me and my fiance (husband now) at our convienece and at a location close to us. We samlpld lots of dishes and she was very good at making reccomendations and helping us plan our meal. Heather was also able to provide us with rentals of linens (which we didnt' use but very helpful anyway) and rentals of all our plates, utencils, glasses and all for the wedding (the price below includes all of that). The day of the wedding her and her team went above and beyond our expectation! She personally served my husand and I (we had a buffet line) and made sure we had food and cake to-go at the end of the night. She even got us our drinks at the bar! They made sure we had small plates and knife and forks at the cake table for when we cut our cake and served all our guest so they didnt have to wait in line! Most importantly the food was amazing and we had people talking to us about the next day!!!

services included catering, serving, bartending. for appetizers guests munched on cheese, crackers, fruit and shrimp. we had a dinner buffet of steak, salmon, salad, steamed broccoli, green beans and new potatoes. their staff was awesome! they made sure my husband and I had a plate to eat that night and they packed up all the leftovers for us to take home. we will have steak, broccoli and potatoes for a whole week! heather, jennifer, jesse and the team are awesome. They are so down to earth as well. BEP's costs are a fraction of what most caterers charge in Dallas. there was one server who interrupted the speeches to pass out cake, but other than that, their staff was very professional and courteous.

I would like to thank Heather Rose and her assistant Jennifer Gonzalez for arranging such a fabulous spread for my wedding. I felt nervous searching for caterers since they tend to be the most costly part of weddings. I ran into some that were pushy and tried to add other services that I can't afford and didn't need. However, I just wanted some down-home, comfortable food for my semi-formal wedding and I recieved that and more through Black Eyed Pea. I love that they emailed a spreadsheet where you can add or subtract the food you want and the quantities needed. Everything will add updown to the taxes to where you can see the final price off the bat. Our face-to-face meeting was brief since my fiance and I were familiar with their delicious food, so not much of my time was taken during these arrangements. On my wedding day, waitstaff were attentive and friendly towards me and my guests; one of the waiters went beyond his duties to help me out with a few minor decor problems. Towards the end of the night, they packed up our leftovers for my guests to take home in individual bags. They even left a bag for my husband and I to have for our wedding night. Black-Eyed Pea deserves high praises and their restaurants shall expect plenty of visits from my guests in the future.

The quality of service was beyond my expectations. Heather and her staff did a superb job. Heather was a little slow on returning phone calls. Over all I would highly recommend the Black Eyed Pea.

The Black-eyed Pea is not a place you would typically turn to for catering your wedding. Most people think *Down Home Country Goodness* not *Elegant, Formal Delicious food*. However, I was pleasantly surprised by Heather and her sincerity and caring nature. She really took care of me and helped me change from a nervous wreck, to a confident bride. I had only 6 weeks to plan our wedding, and I found her 2 weeks into it. She was able to have a plan drawn up for us in minutes, as well as help us find a venue. You don't have to choose from a set plan, you're able to actually create the menu yourself without a hassle. I would recommend them a million times over
