If you’re hanging out in Saint Michael’s or any of the beautiful adjacent towns on vacation, then you definitely have to make your way to tickler‘s crab shack and restaurant. Trust me, the locals definitely know about this restaurant.
Located behind Wyler Hotel, with a commanding view of Harris Creek, Tickler’s is an exceptional establishment for family get together or a romantic dinner.
The crabs are medium to large and are heavy. Have fun digging in!
The staff at tickler’s are awesome. They definitely got the extra mile to make sure that you have an outstanding experience.

The outdoor seating area has a great view, and the food satisfied a seafood craving. However, they are definitely overpriced. We got the lobster roll and crab cake dinner. The lobster was slightly over cooked, but still tasted good. We paid extra for sweet potato fries, which were very good and crispy. The succotash with the crab cake had great flavor, but for one crab cake, it was way overpriced and we’ve definitely had better.

We had such a horrible experience at ticklers. The pricing is outrageous for average food. The service was horrible because we waited for over an hour for food and they have different kitchens so if you order an appetizer, there’s no guarantee that you actually get it before your other meals and the soft drinks that you get for the kids are four dollars each with no free refills and 12 ounces with mostly ice. This place is such a rip off. I would never come back.
Also be careful going there with your boat. They say it’s 4 to 6 feet at low tide but I docked at the furthest slip away mid tide and it was less than 3 feet so I was hitting ground.

Pretty overpriced for what you are getting. The view is great, and the food is mediocre. My wife and I ordered the Cream of Crab soup, Bacon Cheddar Hushpuppies, and the Oyster Po’boy with Side Salad.

The soup had pretty good flavor, and it had plenty of what was definitely real crab. I know because there were so many shell chunks in the soup, I had to test each bite with my tongue first. As for the hushpuppies, they were pretty good but I was a little surprised about the large chunks of corn and the dryness of the batter (they were very crumbly). It’s not necessarily a bad thing but something to be aware of when ordering. As for the Po’boy, it had pretty good flavor and I enjoyed it probably most.

My main issue with this place is the price for what you are getting. One reason I think may be because of how many staff there are working. There was literally one or two people per table working, plus whoever is in the kitchen. Overall the atmosphere is nice but pretty average food.

Meat is frozen and thawed, leaving a weird texture. Meat is also very clearly “glued” together from scraps – Google ‘Moo Gloo…’ The pot roast is tough, many different grain patterns, and obviously frozen before thawed and served. The crab may be local, but very obviously pasteurized and disgusting. The burgers smelled of rot, borderline unservable and disgusting to taste. I could not finish my dinner.

Our salad greens were in the verge of spoiling, leaving bitter tasting lettuce that just flip flops off your fork… the dressings were okay though, yet, over powered the essential part of a salad: the vegetable…

Sysco slop that comes in frozen and served as “Local.” After a stay here and seeing the truck arrive: avoid the fritters, chicken, shrimp tempura, chicken tenders, sweet potato fries, and duck… The ‘Smith Island Cake’ was obviously shipped, frozen, and then rethawed for service. Mine had a piece of mold on it, but I didn’t want to cause a fuss. The only thing local here is the fish; not including the menu’s “Salmon.”

Microwaved crab dip that was clearly broken before before being served (fat separating from ingredients)… days old cream of crab; which was only a half portion and an overbearing sherry wine flavor with crunchy vegetables that weren’t cooked long enough… canned crab meat for the sake of saving money and keeping it on the menu, yet, charging top dollar…

Avoid this place, go to other spots that are keen to keeping things fresh, local, and about their customers.

Our server, ‘Ashley’ seemed way in over her head. My kids and wife were very unpleased with our entire experience and we will not be coming back.

As someone with 20 years in the culinary world, you definitely understand the flaws and shortcuts taken by such chefs who don’t want to put love into what their serving… this restaurant is a perfect example of what NOT to serve or do.

If you’re hosting a wedding with these people… run…

Great drinks and food. Menu has nice variety and the clams were steamed to perfection. Oysters we’re also excellently shucked. Loved the burger however it’s certainly not a smash burger. Prices are a little high, but you’re paying for that beautiful view of the bay. Can’t go wrong with any of the drinks on the menu

Enjoyed the atmosphere and the view. The food tasted good, but was not hot. The server was also good. The management needs a serious shake up. Ordered water and drinks. When the water was delivered ordered our meals. The drinks took so long to be delivered that the food came out before the drinks. We were told the if we didn’t take the food then it would not be redone and simply put on a shelf to get cold until we were ready for it. It was actually already not hot. If you want to manage like an inexpensive beach bar charge prices like said beach bar. For $140 dinner for two I expect better. The excuse was the restaurant was busy but half the tables were empty. I’d hate to see how it runs when full.

Really cool spot with can’t miss views of the water. Service was great and they have a large menu filled with fresh seafood. We ordered a half dozen crabs and they threw in several extras. Reservations are recommended, especially for mid-late afternoon. Check Bay Bridge traffic if coming from Annapolis!

Staying up the street and decided to check it out. Despite some of the roasting reviews below, this place was wonderful. Keith couldn’t have been a nicer bartender and the food was great. The lamb meatballs were to die for that we ordered a second plate! Cocktail menu is extensive and all are tasty!

Absolutely will be back in the warmer weather to check out the outdoor bars and docks.
