    Not enough people working. 20 minutes waiting for first drinks, which were so watered down. You couldn’t take it. Taste any alcohol in them. Had to ask multiple times for things that we ordered.

    We loved our Sunday Brunch at Black-Eyed Sally’s! We were able to reserve a table so we could get our family of eight in when we wanted to. The fried pickles and okra, catfish fingers and fried green tomatoes were a great start to our meals. The menu was large enough that everyone was able to choose whatever they craved. Excellent French toast! Loved the Mardi Gras decorations!

    The food is always good, the music was great, the service is always slow. The wait staff always look busy and they are professional and friendly, but there aren't enough of them. It always takes a long time to put an order in and get your order. Again, this is not about the staff, it's about the management. More staff at busy times would be great.

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Black Eyed Sally, and it was truly an amazing experience! From the moment we walked in, our waitress greeted us with a warm smile and provided us with exceptional service throughout our meal. We started with the Fried Okra and Pickles, and I must say, they were the perfect appetizers—crispy, flavorful, and a great way to kick off our Southern feast. The highlight for me, though, was the Corn Bread—absolutely massive, moist, and simply delicious. It paired perfectly with our main courses. Speaking of main courses, I ordered the ribs, fried chicken, and jambalaya, and I couldn’t be happier. Each dish delivered the authentic flavors I remember from my time in the South. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, the fried chicken had that perfect crispy skin, and the jambalaya was packed with just the right amount of spice. Overall, Black Eyed Sally exceeded my expectations in every way. The combination of exceptional service, mouth-watering food, and a vibrant atmosphere makes this a restaurant I'll definitely be returning to. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Southern cuisine!

    Restaurant was busy for an early dinner on a Sunday. Food was excellent - pulled pork/mac & cheese and shrimp & grits. Service was slow but the server was pleasant. Will definitely return but will try to find a quieter time when we can fully enjoy our meal without such loud, blaring music.

    Food was good. Service was great. I had one issue with a drink price - they didn’t charge the menu price but it was corrected quickly. I’ll be back there.
