According to local folklore, the town got its name from the strong rum that would wash up on the sand hills. The locals would say that the rum was potent enough "to kill the devil." Another legend surrounding the town's name involves a local man who supposedly trapped the devil in a pit at the top of the hills in an attempt to extort money from him. Today, Kill Devil Hills is famous for more than just its name. It is also known for being the site of the Wright Brothers' historic flight in 1903, which took place on the dunes. Visitors can explore the Wright Brothers National Memorial in nearby Manteo to learn more about this significant achievement. Kill Devil Grill first opened its doors in 2002, after being restored by Paul Keevil, who previously owned a restaurant called Millie's in Richmond, VA. The diner car that now serves as Kill Devil Grill was originally located on Route 1 in Richmond and has since been registered with the national registry of historic buildings. Since its inception, Kill Devil Grill has been delighting patrons with its delicious food, warm ambiance, and friendly service.
