Restaurants and retail are located up and down I-35
Just because Willow Creek is more rural than other spots in the Metroplex doesn't mean residents have to be far from daily conveniences. Residents pop into Quick Wok Chinese Restaurant near the intersection of Everman Parkway and Crowley Road for classic Chinese dishes in a casual setting. The restaurant offers a drive-thru and indoor dining to enjoy dishes like lo mein and orange chicken. A quick drive south is Crowley, where Willow Creek residents can peruse popular big-box stores or enjoy a new release at the AMC movie theater. For dinner at home, there’s WinCo Foods on Crowley Road. Other chain restaurants, such as Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen and Chipotle, are located down the highway in the Burleson Town Center. "Burleson is still growing," Sturns says. "But they already have a wonderful selection of restaurants and eateries. There are big brands and mom and pops, like Babe's Chicken." Babe's Chicken offers Southern comfort staples, like fried chicken and collard greens, in a rustic yet whimsical setting off Burleson's South Main Street. Grocery stores such as Sam's Club and Albertsons and a large movie theater also share the Burleson Town Center.
