As far as I understand it, Bill Millers has nothing to do with Barnacle Bills...
Once again, I didn't read the entire thread, so if this has been covered, my apologies.
This pisses me of for one very good reason:
These Bill Miller's assholes bought and not only closed down, but ing RAZED a cool little watering hole at 181 and 1604 for the expressed purpose of building a ing Barnacle Bill's.
You assholes can blow me, Bill Miller's. And I'm never eating at your ty fast-food BBQ joint ever again.

Which of course explains why they're all in former Bill Miller's locations.
They may have split the two companies apart, but there's Miller's in the offices.
The Miller sons sold them a few years ago.
Well I guess it's safe to keep buying hay and ty BBQ from them then.
The Spillway was a cool bar to pound a few beersh in after a long day of pounding beersh and catching baby catfish on Calaveras, though.
Screw whoever bought Barnacle Bills.
Wait just a bleedin' minute...what's all this then?
Millers! Millers in the ing hen-house. I KNEW it!!!Barnacle Bill's eateries close doors

San Antonio-based Barnacle Bill's Seafood restaurants have closed, leaving customers and employees wondering what happened.
The grandsons of the late Bill Miller, founder of Bill Miller Bar-B-Q, started the family-owned chain. It has six locations locally. Three of the stores visited by the Express-News on Monday were boarded up: Broadway and Loop 410, U.S. Hwy 281 and Loop 1604, and 420 S.W. Military Drive.

Paul and Jeff Vance (from left) and cousin Scott Miller bought their interest in Barnacle Bill's restaurants about six years ago.

Efforts to reach Jeff and Paul Vance, two of the chain's owners, by telephone Monday were unsuccessful.
The only clues about the restaurants' closures could be found on signs on the closed restaurants' doors.
The door and windows were boarded up at 402 S.W. Military Drive, and this note was stuck on the door: "All Barnacle Bill employees are welcome to apply at all Bill Miller locations."
At the 1604 location, a marquee sign out front said "CLOSED." A piece of notebook paper was posted on the back door with this scribbled message: "To Barnacle Bill employees who ... want their last check at least should go to main building."
Along with cousin Scott Miller, the Vance brothers bought out father Louis Vance's interest in Barnacle Bill's about six years ago.
The 5,000-square-foot Barnacle Bill's on Southwest Military Drive was the company's first store, opened in 1993.

alamo,
we got it.
You don't like bill millers
I wish I could get some Bill Miller's chicken tenders right now.
Oh, like you've never beat a dead horse in here.
Hey Alamo, I used to go to the Spillway before I turned 21. Right past the EZ Stop. Damn place would serve anyone.
Not anymore they don't.
R.I.P. Barnacle Bill
Damn! Now the line at Sea Island is gonna be freakin long! Barnacle Bill's was better! I guess it's Louie Le Deux time in The Forum.
I thought A Bill Miller's was going there instead of Barnacle Bill's?
There's a Bill Miller's on the corner of that intersection, the Barnacle Bill's occupied the lot next to it on the 1604 side.
KSAT said Bill Millers and Barnacle Bill's went separate ways like 5 years ago.
There's a Bill Miller's right up the road at 87 and 1604.
Barnacle Bills was going to go in at 181 and 1604. Allegedly. Where The Spillway used to be.
all i know is that the Barnacle Bills on Walzem had a sign on the door that told people to feel free and apply at the Bill Millers down the street. lol
Yeah I saw that so I went next door and asked them if they had a fried fish and shrimp plate and they told me I was an idiot and to get the out....
It must be tough for those employees to get flushed down the drain like that.
you just know that they must be feeling pretty crabby.
Actually I think they got a sinking feeling when they got there and the windows had been borded up...
If they got crabs from working at BB's, they might have an OSHA lawsuit.
Are you saying their ship had sailed?
I think we're taking this thread overboard.
