Description

Martelle's Feed House is for sale! What an amazing opportunity to own this iconic profitable restaurant located in the coastal North Carolina town of Engelhard which is in Hyde County. Martelle's was established in 1997 as a BBQ restaurant and catering business. Because of it's success an expansion took place in 2003 bringing the seating from 40 to over 150 and creating the popular oyster bar. The menu was expanded as well and there are quite a few folks that'll tell you that the Martelle's Feed House is their favorite restaurant in the whole state. Locals and tourists alike will regularly make the trip from the Outer Banks, which is less than an hour away, to dine here. Beef, pork, fresh seafood and fresh seasonal vegetables are what keep folks coming back. It doesn't matter what color your collar is, everybody is the same at Martelle's. The atmosphere in the main dining room is highlighted by antiques acquired from old local country stores and artwork reflecting the major industries of this coastal county... farming, hunting and fishing. The oyster bar has a sports bar feel with bar seating at the 16' L shaped custom bar, the 4' tall raised bar tables and chairs, big screen TVs but with a healthy dose of the county's waterfowling heritage. In this social media age, there are endless possibilities for this venue. I've heard someone mention the possibility of converting it into a high end hunting lodge for fall and winter and a corporate retreat for spring and summer. At almost 7000 heated square feet, with county water and sewer, a large fully functional and fully equipped commercial kitchen, the bar, the 640# ice maker and the 8'x16' walk in cooler...that's not a bad idea. A comprehensive equipment list can be found in the Property Documents section of the listing. Don't miss this opportunity. Showings and financials are available for qualified buyers.
