A Tickler's Top Seller & New England Classic, served warm. 🦞

Butter-poached lobster piled onto a toasted, top-cut New England-style roll and finished with fresh lemon and herbs. Simple, buttery and worth every bite.

It doesn't get fresher than this. 🦀

Maryland's famous hard crabs, steamed to order right before your eyes in our open-facing steam kitchen. No shortcuts—just fresh crabs, plenty of seasoning, and waterfront views.

Fresh ingredients. A little spice. And the perfect pour, too!

The 110 In The Shade is crafted with Legal Mezcal, Ancho Reyes Green Chile Liqueur, watermelon purée, Cointreau, agave nectar, and fresh lime juice.

Big oysters. Little oysters. Salty, sweet, briny, buttery...we're not picky. 🦪

Happy National Oyster Day!

We're lucky enough to serve an incredible lineup of local oysters all year long—including varieties that barely travel farther than the waters surrounding Tilghman Island.

Top them with our house-made pomegranate mignonette, classic cocktail sauce, a squeeze of lemon...or enjoy them just as they are.

And if you've ever wanted to shuck your own, you're in luck! Join our Oyster Shucking Class every Friday & Saturday at 2 PM.

See you at the raw bar! 🦪🍋

Crack, peel, butter, repeat. 🦐🌽

Fresh peel & eat shrimp and local sweet corn are the perfect pair for an afternoon on the waterfront. Add your favorite cold drink, and you’ve got summer done right.

Summer is the perfect time to dine waterfront.
From steamed favorites and fresh-from-the-kitchen specialties to handcrafted cocktails and some of the best views on the Chesapeake, Tickler's is made for long lunches, sunset dinners & everything in between.

Come by land or sea—we'll have a table waiting.

Wylder Tilghman & Tickler's will be closed today and tomorrow while we host our guests for a private event.

Our waterfront is reserved for a special corporate retreat! (Yup we host those too!)

We'll be back to our regular hours on Thursday, ready to serve your favorite fresh seafood, cocktails, & waterfront views.
