Red Willow Plaza has some great businesses, including 5 Guys Burgers, Carraba’s Italian Restaurant, Wild Birds Unlimited, Jimmy John’s Subs and Party City. The reason I’ve rated it only 4 out of 5 stars is because I find the parking lot very difficult to navigate. There are only two ways to enter or exit; the light at the one on the main road takes a long time to change and there is virtually nowhere for the line of cars to go when it backs up. If exiting the other way, one must pass through a small gauntlet, one or two stop signs and across busy lanes of traffic just to get back to the main road. Anyway, I digress - the photos I’ve included with this review are all taken inside the Fresh Market Grocery Store. The Fresh Market is similar to Whole Foods, but a price point and quality step below. It has a great deli that serves awesome hot and cold sandwiches as well as cold salads, etc. There is also a very unique olive bar (see photo) and a meat counter with a wide selection. You’ll find a large cubby-hole display containing nothing but packets of fresh spices, and aisles of candy, nuts and seeds sold by weight. They have a large wine corner too. In my opinion, skip the produce. It’s exceptionally expensive and not particularly fresh. I’m always amazed to see wilted flower bunches for $12. Though I haven’t sampled any bakery goods, most of them look like your average sort of mass-produced cakes, breads, etc. My overall assessment? Because Red Willow Plaza has many well known, tried and true businesses, the buildings are kept in very good condition, and it is safe and well-lit, it is definitely worth a trip and...
Read moreThis shopping/dining area has a variety of options to satisfy shopping or hunger. Eight of us were looking for a place to play bridge and eat lunch. During this year, we had been going to a nearby restaurant. The food and service had been becoming more unsatisfactory, so it became necessary to seek a more suitable location. Not only did Carrabbas manage that without much notice, but they surpassed our requirements and impressed us greatly. In fact, before we finished eating our lunch at the 2 tables they put together, we unanimously voted to make this our new place next year. The food was delicious and served at appropriate temperatures with reasonably priced meals and generous portions. Customer service was outstanding--friendly and proficient. The pleasant atmosphere and area provided privacy, non-disruptive jazz music, comfortable temperature, and a restroom nearby. We enjoyed a delightful afternoon and look...

When we walked in the place was clean people were a little loud because of the Acoustics of the building.
