Find Restaurants, Retail, and Relaxation at II Creeks Plaza

1

There’s a quaint little shopping/dining area you probably haven’t seen, unless you’re from around there, because it’s tucked back from major roads and highways. However, this is one happening place most days. II Creeks Plaza (2701 Custer Pkwy) is the perfect destination for families looking for restaurants, retail, relaxation, and more!

Located right off of Custer Rd, between Renner and Campbell, in Richardson, means there’s not a whole lot of traffic passing by, but it hasn’t stopped the growth and popularity of this small area. It’s more than inviting for families, at any time of the day.

I wanted to share five places within II Creeks that keep my family coming back again and again.

1. Frankie’s Mexican Cuisine is an authentic Mexican restaurant that never fails to keep their tables full. With constant specials and an inviting outdoor patio perfect for those Texas summer days, they always keep their customers coming back for more.

What we love most about Frankie’s is the family feel we get when we’re there. Frankie, the owner, is almost always there and makes his rounds among the tables to chat with his patrons. We’re always recognized when we go in and we leave thinking about when we’ll be back!

2. Sweet Firefly is another popular stop for many families looking for the perfect sweet treat! From ice cream, to snow cones, and candy treats, there’s so much to offer that sweet tooth of yours! I wrote about Sweet Firefly a little over a year and a half ago when they first opened their doors and I’m happily amazed at their earned success! The place is always full of customers but there’s rarely a wait. It’s a family favorite of ours!

My one complaint about this amazing place? They’re closed on Mondays. 🙁 I guess everyone has to have a day of rest. 🙂

3. Beyond the Door is a little boutique full of women’s clothing, jewelry, gifts, and décor. I could stay in this little store for hours just looking at every little piece hung on the walls. My favorites are all of the word art! It seems they have new designs constantly!

This is my go-to shop when I’m on the hunt for that perfect gift for a girlfriend of mine, or when I want to check out the holiday décor they have to offer. Their Facebook page is often running contests to win prizes or store credit, too!

4. The Spa at II Creeks is perfect for stepping out of this crazy busy world of ours and walking right in to relaxation! With massages, facials, pedicures, and more, they have so much to offer the stressed Dallas mom (or dad).

I love the atmosphere they offer their clients and the service is top notch, too!

5. Shady’s Burger Joint is the newest addition to II Creeks Plaza and one that so many are thankful for!

With their large, beautiful patio, surrounded by trees, it’s the perfect place to enjoy an amazing burger and tasty beverage with your family! The onion rings and fried pickles are pretty fantastic, too!

Having three kids under the age of four means we don’t think about going out to eat as a family much, but having dinner outside on the patio does something awesome to my children. They behave and we ALL get to enjoy our dinner!

Shady’s is now offering live music on the third Thursday of every month on their patio, too!

II Creeks has so much to offer your family and you can’t go wrong when you’re looking for restaurants, retail, or relaxation! You can get it all at II Creeks Plaza in Richardson!

None of the establishments mentioned in this post have paid me to write about them. My family and I are just huge fans and I love sharing about places we love around Dallas!
