Oak Creek Village — Local services in Durham

It's a mess of a shopping center and that's the nicest way to say it. There are 2 entrances to it, both off Garrett rd. So this leads to small traffic jams of cars trying to exit Bojangles and forming a steady line of cars trying to depart the shopping center.

It was fair. Took to long to get things we asked for and we were the first people there. We sat on the patio with our dog and ordered her chicken. Asked for water for her and he looked confused. The chicken came out on a plate, we thought nothing of it, cut up her chicken and placed it on the ground. He came back and said to us "oh I should have told you not to have the dog eat of the plate, now I have to throw the plate away." Restaurant dishwashers heat to 170 degrees and will kill whatever is on the plate.
