Here is your chance to own one of Avon’s most loved and established restaurants! The Mad Crabber has been family-owned and operated since 1991, serving generations of Hatteras Island locals and vacationers who return year after year for great food and a familiar, welcoming atmosphere.

The current owners have taken pride in maintaining the property, and the restaurant is fully operational, offering a great opportunity to step into an established business with a recognizable name and loyal customer base.
One of the biggest opportunities here is the potential to increase revenue! The Mad Crabber currently operates for dinner only, approximately six months out of the year.

There is tremendous potential to build on what the current owners have already established.
And there's more! Included in the sale is an additional 15,000-square-foot parcel with access from Harbor Road. This extra land opens the door to even more possibilities, including a catering kitchen, expanded parking, outdoor dining, special events, or potentially employee housing, subject to applicable permits and approvals.

Another great opportunity! The seller would consider short-term owner financing with an acceptable offer and substantial down payment. Terms are negotiable, giving a qualified buyer additional flexibility when purchasing this established Hatteras Island restaurant.
Opportunities like this don't come along often on Hatteras Island!
