Barnacle Bill's closed down all their restaurants suddenly. It happened just a few weeks ago without notice. No reason was given by the owners.

I don't know specifically about Wings n More, but many restaurants have failed in that same location.

The owners of Barnicle Bills said they just got tired of running restaurants. I believe all the BB buildings are up for sale.

Lots of those Wing places are having a hard time, tough business (food service is notoriously difficult, and has an extremely high failure rate, I know, I'm in the trenches myself, AND I actually have high grosses and turn a buck, but man, it's just TOUGH TOUGH TOUGH nevertheless), gotta sell a hell of a lotta wings to turn a buck - I kinda compare the whole buffallo wing thing to
the yogurt craze of the 80's. I actually bought into the whole wing thing myself initially, and even wanted to buy into Wing Stop when it first started, but another fella bought up the San Antonio territory rights - man, am I glad for that in retrospect!

As for Barnacle Bills, I was under the impression that it was an offshoot/owned by Bill Miller's?

I heard Barnacle Bills went bankrupt.

Wings N More is an Aggie restaurant. They are actually really good in College Station - (this coming from a Longhorn). However I did see the Wings N More in SA (I10) had horrible health dept scores.
