We ordered codfish fritters for appetizers. They were excellent and flavorful. We had jerk chicken burger with sweet potato fries and we both loved it.

Lunch special is a steal. Flavors are great. Best place to eat in Mackinac, hands down.Pictured is chicken curry lunch and jerked chicken lunch. Recommend the rice and peas on the side. I got the ground provisions. Which I don’t think many will appreciate but I loved them for dipping the extra sauce.Side note to owners. Would love if we could buy a side of the slaw and or the fried banana. Those are worth the extra purchase!

We had just split a lukewarm pasty before driving back down to the UP and needed some real food. This was such a pleasure. The boys got jerk chicken and curry chicken. The girls got jerk tofu and curry tofu. Sides were rice and beans, bammy, and mac n cheese. Meals came with plantains and salad. It was so delicious. Highly recommend.
