First time in here but I will tell you it won't be the last! It's a nice locals kind of place. You know it's good when you walk in and get the last table. Our waitress Juanita was super nice and very helpful. They serve breakfast all day. They have all kinds of burgers and daily specials. The soups are made from scratch. On Fridays they have an all you can eat fish fry. If you are hungry stop in you won't be disappointed. read more

This small restaurant had decent food and excellent service. I got the fried pork chop with mashed potatoes and the dish was cooked perfectly and served hot. My companions had a mushroom Swiss burger (he said it was very good), and another dish was a ground sirloin steak with an egg on top that my nephew said was good. We also had fried green tomatoes, which was excellent and a side of cheesy grits, which was disappointing...why do restaurants that make grits not put salt in the water while cooking them? You can *not* add enough salt at the table to make up for unseasoned grits! I have been disappointed with this many times in restaurants. Anyway, most of the dishes here were good, homey and well received. Definitely recommend. read more

Great Haddock dinner on Friday night. Good southern food! Small unassuming place with a good variety of southern specialties.

If you are looking for home cooked southern food, look no further! This is a small and quaint spot. The service is great. The staff are friendly. You must try the black eye peas! They are delicious! I loved the fried catfish! Also, don't forget to get a fried pie. They taste like a funnel cake with fruit filling! Yummy! Check this place out! read more

Great stop. What a gem of a find. Though the restaurant was 3/4 full, I had quick friendly service. The clientele appeared to be mostly locals given the banter with the staff and between tables. Clean, welcoming charm of a diner. All the usual southern breakfast items. The ample portions come quick. Tasty!! The Black Eyed Pea is worth the road trip for breakfast. read more

Good southern country cooking for breakfast or lunch. It gets busy and sometimes there's a wait due to its small dining area. But it usually moves pretty quickly so the wait is worth it. read more

Our first time stopping for lunch! We'd passed by many times and knew at some point we'd want to stop, because there's always a full parking lot! I ordered the vegetable plate, where I was able to select 4 delicious items (cabbage, okra, greens and a hamburger patty). And my bf, ordered the meatloaf dinner w/black eyed peas and a salad. Our waitress was very friendly and excited when we explained that it was our first visit. She advised of their most ordered items. We'll definitely stop again - next time for breakfast - as it's served all day! Or Fish Fry Friday! A great stop if you love Southern food! read more

Small restaurant needs a GPS to find. The meatloaf was great. First visit for me. I would go back. I wish it was closer to my residence. Friendly server and great food. Limited parking. read more

Changed hands not like it use to be. Very disappointed Plates not like use to be especially fish night. Use to fill plate. Now one serving and soup seems to come out of a can. read more

We were on the road wanting a good burger. We saw black eyed pea. This is a nice little diner in Dade city. Our server was very nice and helpful. Fresh tea and home style atmosphere. We ordered burgers. Homemade patties and fresh beef. My burger was huge with a few onion rings on it. They were delicious. The fries were crispy and hot. They have a breakfast that looks good. Nice hidden gem. read more

Excellent discovery! Cute and quaint, staff is welcoming and attentive. I had breakfast and the eggs were perfectly prepared (soft scrambled is a challenge). The biscuit was fresh and fluffy. Coffee was spot-on. In a word: YUM! read more

My favorite day of the week is all you can eat haddock delicious. Comes with fries and coleslaw and you just order as much as your heart desires. Since I owe the money for the fish, I haven't really tried anything else. Shame on me, but I plan to find that in the future.. read more

Great spot for breakfast! Coffee was great, and service was too! I had county fried steak, hash brown and egg. Needs new coffee mugs, my cup had lots of chips could have cut my lips. Seems like a local spot. read more

Great food and a warm, country environment. Staff was super friendly. I'll definitely be back if I find myself in the area again.

Tried this place on a whim & it was great. The food was delicious but the service is what makes this place special. You could tell most of the people there were regulars & the waitresses were having so much fun with everyone. Definition of southern hospitality. Would definitely visit again. read more

Unbelievable food and service. First time visit recently, seems to be thee stop in town. The staff seems to love their jobs...the cook came out and asked if we liked our burger and making the burgers were her favorite part. The portions were HUGE and the menu had plenty to choose from. I highly recommend this place when visiting Dade City read more

Best burgers. Wonderful comfort food. Cozy, very nice staff. Daily specials are great and sell out fast.

Used to like this restaurant but this time was ridiculous. Totally ignored for a long time and it took forever to get our food. Then I was ignored for a long time while standing at the register. Won't be back. read more

Breakfast was delicious, great home cookin! Definitely recommend the Country Fried Steak and Hash Brown. The coffee was great!

Neat little family run restaurant with nice servers and staff. But food was not that good. My bacon was nearly raw and hash browns were not crispy. Eggs were cold. Hopefully this was a bad day and not representative of the place. read more

Small restaurant, crowded from time to time decent food go for breakfast quite often Recommend a place if you're passing by read more

This country cooking just does it for me! From the flapjacks to the Friday fish fry! Just good cooking over there! I do however wish they added liver to the menu to read more

Came in on Saturday when there was a bit if a wait. Breakfast is served until noon, but we opted for the lunch me u. They have most of the staples at a diner. I chose the meatloaf and the wife chose the grilled cheese. The pepsi branded drinks were good. The soup - today's selection was a creamy chicken, was phenomenal. It needed a little pepper and salt but was absolutely fantastic otherwise. read more

Love breakfast at this place! Service is always great! It's just "old Florida" at its best!!!

The Black Eyed Pea - A Darn GREAT BURGER...THANK YOU - Southern Near Me - Dade City, Florida

The Black Eyed Pea is so good! I kept hearing from my friends how good the Big Daddy burger and onion rings are at this place. Probably for 6 months they were getting lunch here weekly. Finally my opportunity came and I loved it! Completely met my high expectations. Can't wait to get back by to try the club sandwich and the rest of the menu! read more

I love the food. The waitresses are great. They make you feel right at home. I definitely recommend this home town restaurant.

If you're looking for some good home cooked food you can't go wrong here. The staff is great! The food is good and the prices are reasonable. I stopped in with some friends for lunch. They got hamburgers and they were huge! Glad I saw one before I ordered. I got the veggie plate or something like that. It was choices of course sides. The black eyed peas were definitely my favorite. read more

Quaint little no frills but cozy place we tried for lunch. Turkey club was good and hubs really enjoyed the sloppy Joe Special. Fries were crisp on the outside and hot on the inside. Not salted but it was available on the table. Service was fast and friendly. Tables and chairs are fit In tightly and many were already filled when we arrived at 11:30am on a Saturday. We seemed to be the only non regulars as the waitress seemed to know everyone there. Most items for lunch were under $10. read more

First, I'm trying to gather my composure. I have never been so frustrated with a diner, but this is my second unpleasant dining experience. I don't like to group or classify public places who serve others, but I have to voice my experience with this diner. I will never eat at this diner again. They give preferential treatment to others instead of treating everyone equal. I've given them three opportunities to provide me with the same level of service as everyone else. I'm extremely disappointed, and it's sad that treatment such as this still exist. I DO NOT RECOMMEND this diner! One dissatisfied customer. read more

Poor quality food. The Philly Cheesesteak a small portion for $12. The chopped beef dinner was a hamburger with gravy on it, watery mashed potatoes and bland canned corn. This is NOT southern cooking as advertised, it is a "no attention to detail" dive. You can definitely find better options anywhere. read more

The breakfast was amazing. I had biscuits and gravy which were light and fluffy and eggs and home fries and sausage and the price was reasonable . I haven't had a breakfast this good in awhile . I would definitely go back . read more

Found by chance. We will definitely be back. Prices were a little high, but the food was well worth it. Sweet temade the RIGHT way. Burgers were delicious read more

What an awesome find! We stopped in for a late lunch, and the staff was so attentive and so kind! Food was delicious! Get the onion rings. :) read more

Best breakfast I've had. Service was excellent and who doesn't love a local place with all the local charm.

After seven years coming to Dade City and watching all of the cars and people saying how good the food is we stopped in for breakfast. In the past month we have been to this restaurant four times and it will only increase in frequency. They even have a senior and child menu which is just right for my wife. Love it. read more

We've been here twice. Lunch and Friday night dinner. Both meals were outstanding southern home cooking. Friday night AYCE haddock was the best I've had. You won't be disappointed if you like southern style goodness read more
