The Best Restaurants, Bars, and Cafes on Mackinac Island | Eater Detroit

"Chef Shawn Fearon, originally from Kingston, Jamaica, first came to Mackinac as one of the island’s many summertime work visa employees. More than 20 years later, he owns Kingston Kitchen — which not only serves Caribbean flavors that remind Shawn of home but is also one of two restaurants on island that stay open year round. This gem, located just off the main drag on the east side of Hoban Street, is a locals’ favorite for good reason. Look for dishes such as ackee and saltfish, curried goat, and jerk-dusted salmon. Don’t forget to stay cool with a pint of sorrel beer, a Jamaican favorite. Ferrying to the Island from the St. Ignace side of the Mackinac Bridge? Start your vacation early by popping into Kingston Kitchen’s second location, which just opened in the port city this spring." - Stacey Brugeman
