If you've ever stopped in for the wings, now's the time. Tony and Julie Cherney, who've owned the Surfside Beach restaurant for 10 years, announced on Facebook Monday that they're retiring and the doors will close Nov. 15.
The original in North Myrtle Beach isn't affected. WMBF reports that location stays open and will keep serving the same food.
