I haven't been to a BEP in years, but still, I hate to see a business fail...
 
from HKA Texas on Facebook:
 
No more "Texas Size" chicken fried steak! :-( -- Several media reports say Black-eyed Pea restaurants in Texas have abruptly closed their remaining 13 stores. -- WFAA in Dallas says only one Black-eyed Pea, in Arlington, was opened on Tuesday. -- According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the restaurant filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in December 2015. 4951

Lol I have actually been to that one in Arlington. Another one bites the dust.....and in latter years their food really wasn't noteworthy.
 
Believe it or not....guess who has a decent chicken fried steak sandwich?

The last really good CFS I tasted was at Longhorn Steakhouse. The Boy ordered it and loved it, however it was too big to finish, so he had extra to share. 4951

We stop at one in Fort Worth every year on our way to Sweetwater bc it's in the last Academy parking lot we come close to. Nothing really special, just a place to eat and get an IV of tea. 4951

I surprised it has stayed around this long... Have not been to one in years but the last time I was in the Humble BEP is was not too clean.  The one thing I did like about them was the variety on the menu.  Most restaurants these days are a specific type of food.  I guess if you have such a big variety you do not make anything that is outstanding to keep customers coming back... 4951

Used to eat there as a kid. Loved their chicken fried chicken, okra and those rolls (dipped in honey mustard) were awesome. But yeah....like a lot of people, I haven't been to one in a couple of decades. Which is probably the reason they closed.  4951

They did have the best bowl of sweet corn ever though. I would have had it for my final meal had I ever ended up on death row. Emoticon 4951

How long has the one in Humble been gone?  We liked BEP when we first moved here but it just became another chain restaurant. 4951
