Tom calls his year-round catering service cookouts because he likes the home-cooked, casual, and family-oriented feel of his meals. But this gentleman has catered everything from a small backyard cookout to a large fish fry at the North Carolina Governor’s mansion.

His photo gallery online at tomthumbcookouts.com shows him servicing everything from backyard hoedowns under blue skies to tented affairs, banquet halls filled with tables and white gown weddings. The photos of seafood, meats, hushpuppies and more will have you hankering for a special Tom Thumb occasion of your own.

He offers fried, steamed or grilled seafood, barbeque or grilled chicken, pig pickins, hot dog and hamburger cookouts, oyster roasts, seafood boils and even friend turkey dinners. You can order the main fare alone or have it come with all his delectable fixings. Tom will provide as much or as little as you desire, making every party a possibility for Outer Banks-style eating!

American Pie

Discover the best homemade ice cream and authentic made-from-scratch New York Style pizza the Outer Banks has to offer at American Pie in Kill Devil Hills. An Outer Banks favorite for lunch, dinner or a delicious scoop of scrumptious ice cream after a day at the beach.

 

It was 1978 when Eddie and Lou Miller first opened Miller’s Seafood and Steakhouse. As a teenager, their son Brian spent his summers working in the restaurant, getting familiar with the family business. After college, Brian and his wife Beth came back to Kill Devil Hills and began working together at Miller’s. Brian and Beth officially purchased the restaurant from Eddie and Lou in 2007. A few years later they opened American Pie together, and both restaurants now carry on the Miller family tradition of quality, excellence and hospitality.

 

“I learned everything about the restaurant business from my parents,” Miller says. “They ran the business together for all those years, and now my wife and I are doing the same. “Throughout the summer, we’re feeding around 2,000 people a day in our two restaurants. It’s a challenge we embrace every season, and we get a lot of fulfillment from making it all work.”

 

The Millers focus on two main specialties: high quality foods and unparalleled service. Seafood at Miller’s is fresh and locally caught, and they serve high-quality Angus beef, fresh pastas and homemade desserts. At American Pie, guests enjoy hand-tossed pizzas and homemade ice cream.

 

“We put a lot of time and effort into ensuring the products we bring in are top-notch,” Miller says. “Our customers know that when they visit our restaurants, they’ll be getting the quality and consistency they’ve come to know and love.”
