Today there are 75 Bill Miller Bar-B-Q restaurants and 6 Laguna Madre Seafood Co. restaurants.Bill-osophyBill Miller Bar-B-Q's concept of serving barbecued meats and fresh pies and breads on a daily basis from a central commissary is unique to its industry.Bill Miller Bar-B-Q offers a quality catering service, serving groups as small as 100 to as large as 10,000.
