We had our yearly family dinner tonight at the Mad Crabber we were looking forward to it but it was such a huge disappointment in many ways! First the food was sub par it was not worth it!

Mad Crabber Restaurant is a popular spot in OBX known for its quality food. Visitors love the fresh oysters, Blue crab plate, and flavorful collared greens. The seafood platters for two are always a hit. The cozy atmosphere and delicious fish bites make it a must-visit place for a tasty meal. Many guests have praised the seafood, describing it as cooked to perfection, with tacos, the sample platter, and flounder being highly recommended. The restaurant offers reasonable prices. Parking is available in gravel lots with ample spaces. The vibe is great and the staff is very friendly. Snow crab legs are delicious and the blackened fish tacos are yummy. There are great choices for those who do not like seafood. The hush puppies are the best. The atmosphere is clean and inviting. However, the service can be horrible, with slow refills and a mandatory 20% tip for parties. Beware of the service. Overall, Mad Crabber Restaurant provides great food and an enjoyable dining experience.
