They're just extremely dense. So you could still have planets orbiting around a black hole, it's not like the black hole just destroys everything in the area for millions of light years around. It's just that anything (light or matter) that approaches past a certain point is lost or "sucked in"... It boggles my mind how big solar systems really are, never mind the entire universe.
