Welcome to Grandma's house

Come hungry.
Leave family.

“Uppa Yard” carries the feeling of home—the place where family gathers, the pot is always working, and recipes are passed down with love. Since 2014, Uppa Yard has brought that spirit to Milwaukee through authentic Jamaican dishes made for real appetites.

This is food with memory in it: slow-cooked, deeply seasoned, comforting, and unmistakably Jamaican.
