Kingston Kitchen at the Village Inn

Michigan


The Village Inn was an island staple known for its planked whitefish. Now Chef Shawn from Jamaica has taken over, and while you still can get the whitefish, he's instilled the rest of the menu with flavors from his homeland. Jerk chicken, curried goat, spicy pastas and burgers galore stuff diners at this fun hangout with outdoor seating.
