Had the best time here recently with my family. We are staying in the area and booked the patio for dinner. Our server Jaylen was phenomenal, offering great service for our table and helpful recommendations on Tickler’s entrees (to our many questions). She also provided nice activities in the area to do for future days/nights. Hostess was very kind and helpful too. The crab cakes here are the real deal! I liked the local drink offerings and nice scenic view as well. Fun family atmosphere with lawn games for hotel patrons as well. Would come back.
Jun 20, 2026 · Google ReviewIf 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.
Oct 8, 2025 · Google ReviewPretty 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.
May 1, 2022 · Google ReviewFirst visit to the area. This place has ample room and space inside and out on lovely grounds with wood burning in the fireplace. Unfortunately my crab cake was luke warm and I sadly had to send it back. The staff could not have been more gracious, and apologetic. It wasn't a big deal, easy to rectify, but they were masters of customer service and made me feel as if my satisfaction was paramount. Kudos to the staff tonight. We will be back!
