Uppa Yard

Loved the brown stew chicken. No complaints on the plantain either. Great portions and atmosphere at the bar as well.

Ok, I have read the bad reviews from the others. I can honestly say, I didn't experience anything that would have me give this place a bad review. Uppa Yard can get really busy, so I suggest if you're getting takeout. Call ahead and that will save you a lot of time. There is a bar area, if you would like a few cocktails. Or you can just be seated, after you place your order in the dining area. Portion sizes are very generous.. highly recommend trying this place out. Curry chicken- slight heat to this entree. Chicken very tender and the sauce is spot on. Definitely enjoyed this dish Jerk Oxtail/jerk chicken combo- again portion size is huge. Everything was seasoned really good, just the right amount of heat

Food is ok I was shocked to see that the curry chicken order was only sm wings you wait for the longest time for your food and sometimes I do forget your order no organization they just take your money and you just stand there and wait hoping they don't forget. Regulars are treated much differently than the new patrons of the establishment. Every plate is different. You have to ask for the house barbecue sauce or they're gonna give you a kraft barbecue sauce packet. Hope I have better luck next time.

Amazing. When the oxtail gravy soaks into the rice & beans something close to heaven is achieved. The rest of the food - jerk chicken, plantains, egg rolls, dessert cakes, are similar. All cooked to literal perfection - each item the right balance of spices, textures, moistures, and portions. It's been 5 minutes since I've left and I'm already anticipating my next visit. And judging by the bustling atmosphere it's clear I'm not the only one enchanted by the flavors. The vibe was that of a community hitting up a place that brings them consistent joy. You know it's good when every single person that walks through the door walks in complete comfort - the place is home. The staff was incredibly friendly and willing to walk us newbies through the menu so we could capitalize on snagging everything we wanted to order.I'll be back and it will be sooner rather than later.

A friend who lives in Milwaukee recommended this restaurant to see how I thought it would compare to the Jamaican cooking I grew up eating. That's always an unfair comparison for me to make. Any food coming from your grandparents' kitchen, your parents' kitchen, or your own is unfair to use as a litmus test against restaurant food.I ordered a curry chicken plate and a jerk chicken plate. While I think it's okay for what tasted like seasoned baked chicken, what would have kicked the flavor up several notches would have been if the chicken had been proper smoked. The rice and peas were good. The cabbage was more like slaw. They didn't have plantains and we went shortly after the restaurant had opened for business. I had wanted brown stew chicken. However, that was another dish they didn't have cooked, and it would have probably been perfect since brown stew chicken is baked or stewed.The restaurant seems to be quite busy. Lots of takeaway orders, no dine-in. I must admit that the portions are substantial, so that's a plus.

The Jamaican food at Uppa Yard was absolutely hot, fresh, & delicious!! It was so good I was doing my little happy dance as I'm savoring every bite lol!!! :) We got really great large portion sizes well worth the prices. I ordered the curry goat, curry oxtails with rice & peas with steamed cabbage. My husband ordered the jerk chicken with rice & peas/cabbage. He said his was super delicious also! My curry goat and oxtails were extremely tender and very nicely seasoned. You have to be careful with curry goat not to swallow any sharp bones or shards though. The only drawback is the place is so popular the wait was really long to get our food because we didn't call ahead of time or place an online order. I'm not sure if that would have helped or not but there was many orders ahead of us as it is more of a take out establishment but people can dine in there if they would like! They also had a little bar that looked liked they had some amazing drinks like a yummy Hennesy strawberry margarita and other really good looking drinks! The place is worth trying!!! We reallyenjoyed the food!

I love jerk chicken and only last year started to make an effort to try the various Jamaican places around the greater Milwaukee area. I knew of Uppa Yard, but every time I would drive past the strip it's in it looked like it had permanently closed, which contradicted the reviews I kept seeing pop up. Eventually I looked close enough at their tiny sign outside and figured out they are open a couple of doors down from the location that looks closed. When I stopped I ordered a large jerk chicken dinner with rice & peas and plantains instead of cabbage. I also ordered one jerk chicken egg roll.The jerk chicken dinner was ok. I think both the jerk chicken and rice & peas from Pepper Pot Catering are much better. At least you get a lot for the price, which is good.The egg roll from Pepper Pot is larger, but it has more cabbage in it as filler compared to Uppa Yard's, which has more ingredients besides just cabbage. The egg roll stood out as the better of the two items I ordered.I placed my order at 4:48pm and didn't receive my food until 5:25pm. I was told 20 minutes when I ordered, which I was ok with, so waiting 37 minutes was annoying. They weren't dead, but they didn't look slammed either, so the wait seemed long for what I ordered.

First off the food is so good. And it's great because there's a bar so while waiting you can get a drink and vibe. Service takes a bit but i assure you the food is well worth it.

Waited over 45 minutes for 2 jerk chicken egg rolls. A lot of people got their order before me. Now to the egg rolls , they were small, greasy and lacked flavor. No jerk sauce to go with them. Idk how this place is so busy. Very disappointed with my first time experience at this place. Will not be going back.

OK, Question: did the owner of the Upper Yard (On Fon du Lac) sell to someone else? FRFR Because I have been going there for years, I have never experienced what I experience today. First, the food was not hot, and I waited 30-45mins. Second, the Chicken was DRY, and the Cabbage was not fresh. The only good thing was the lukewarm red beans and rice. As long as I have been going to this establishment, I have waited a long time for my food, but when I got it, it was always fresh, hot, and good. Today!! NO. So I want to know if it was sold to new people because if it is, I will not be revisiting the way this food was, and at these prices, it should have been hot, plentiful, and good. I couldn't finish. SMHShould not have to take a 30-40 drive back. It will be a good while before I return. I should have known because I didn't see any of the regular people. DID THEY SELL IT?
