Always pack everytime we go here. Lines are long so the wait time is long as well. But staff is friendly and food is great. Oxtail is my favvvv! read more

The curry chicken was very delicious! The food was served hot. So worth the wait for your order.

The food was (temperature) hot. I had curry chicken ricenbeans, cabbage and cocoa bread. My friend purchased the oxtails. Everything was delicious. Fyi, if you're interested in trying their fish, It takes an hr. I would definitely come back. read more

Best Jamaican food in Milwaukee! (Says my Jamaican husband). They have an excellent selection of authentic Jamaican cuisine and offer combos when you can't decide which delicacy to indulge in for dinner. Meals come in small and large portions. Some our favorites include: Curry Goat, Jerk Chicken (tender and juicy), Ox Tail, & Curry Chicken. These come with rice and peas (not green peas, really they are beans) and steamed cabbage. They have additional sides available such as Patties and Ripe Plantains. As well as, some traditional beverages like Cola Champaign. (We haven't tried the seafood entrees, Jerk Pork, or Brown Stew Chicken yet). The casual restaurant is decorated in Jamaican flag: yellow and green. Primarily it caters to take-out customer's, however they do have a small eat-in area. My only criticism about this place is that they are so busy, it is very difficult to get through over the phone to place an order in advance. Be prepared to wait in line to order upon arrival and then wait about 10 min for your food. read more

The food is great here. It's so good that on any given night you can go here and expect to wait 30minutes to an hour for takeout, which is about the average. While the food is good the service is horrendous. They are out of about 75% of the menu at every point that I've been there. The payment system is slow and antiquated and with only one staff person in front it makes it hard to just order and get your food quickly. I would go here again but I wouldn't do it on an empty stomach. read more

The food is absolutely amazing especially the Jerk Chicken one of my favorites. I was shocked to see that no hair net were being worn by the white young lady handing out the food. Also it is very hard to place order by calling to try avoid the long wait times. Maybe consider multiple phone lines to take orders so that customers are not waiting 35-45 minutes, Keep up the wonderful service you guys rock! read more

I tried the jerk chicken, rice and peas, cabbage, curry chicken and chicken wings. It was all delicious, fresh, a little spicy( meats-just enough to keep you wanting more). I had to wait 25 mins total but it was worth it very busy. Will definitely go back and try more of the menu read more

For is always bomb! They can be better with their call in orders for sure but nonetheless, theyre working to improve and I can tell!

Update: JUST STICK WITH IRIE PALACE ON APPLETON. I'm not sure what they're putting in this food but I've gotten really sick from the curry chicken here. My brother also stopped by the next week and he and his girl friend both got sick as well (from the brow stew chicken and curry chicken). I wish I could give zero stars. :( read more

The food is very very yummy as well as authentic , I've went there three times this week alone ! I always get the jerk and stewed chicken combination plate . The meat is tender and juicy and before you know it it,s gone . The only thing I may bring to their attention is to put more meat on the plate , or maybe it's so good I just don't notice I'm eating it so fast , either way more meat please ! read more

The food is really good. I always get the fish but it takes an hour to prepare. The wait is always really long. I was told my order would take an hour to prepare and I was okay with that considering I am pescatarian and can't eat the other items on the menu. My order actually took 2 hours to prepare and I wasn't informed about the additional wait time. If you don't mind waiting a few hours for your food go for it. read more

It REALLY would be nice if could call in my order! Every time I call the phone is NEVER working!!

Best Authentic Jamaican restaurant in Wisconsin the spices the smell that hits you when you walk in great atmosphere with the Jamaica decor and music read more

I tried them yesterday for the 1st time &I loved it. I am.anticipating my NEXT RETURN so i can try the plantains, among other items. I will definetly be back. The people were friendly. The quantity was great. You get your moneys worth. It has a bite and its own flava. I love it. The cabbage is soo flavorful and its not greasy like other ppls cabbage. I liked the beef patty.. i wanted to try the chicken patty but it was close to the end of the night and they had just ran out. ((Totally understandable)) but that reminds me.. i was very impressed with the quality of the food BEING AS IT WAS the END of the NIGHT. One would ASSUME to get the "butt end" of the deal.. i.e whatever is LEFT. But not HERE. the quality wasn't ANY LESS.. i loved it. I hope they stay that way... keep BEING GOOD PEOPLE AND PRODUCING GOOD QUALITY FOOD AND RUNNING A GOOD BUSINESSES for MANY MANY YEARS...i will definetly keep coming back and spreading the word. #Blessings read more

I tried I really did, but I cant do the scavenger hunt for trees and bones in my food.

The food is great but get there early or call first to see what options they have that day

I have have been here twice and have had to wait OVER and hour for my food. Today i waited until they felt like opening even thougj their posted hours say 11 am they didnt oopen until 12 then i waited another hour gor my food.they are always out of something and today was definitely disappointing as i didn't realize i was given mostly RICE and PEAS instead of the curry goat which i paid for..there was a few pieces in the container however it was 85% rice and 10% cabnage and 5% meat..thats is ridiculous. Also they do not answer the phone and you have to take a chance going there to see if their open..utterly ridiculous. Not to mention they NEVER can keep plantains in stock..their prices are moderate and for that i expected better service and food..I'll go back to Irie Palace before returning there. wont be back anytime soon read more

I really wanted to like this place, but there are some things that simply cannot be tolerated. I have been a patron of Uppa Yard for a few years now. And it seems like everytime I go they are out of something... whether it be out of plaintains... jerk sauce etc. communication with staff is a constant conversation about what they lack vs. what they have and are ready to make for you. I am also vegan, and have enjoyed purchasing the veggie plate which is supposed to come with rice and beans, cabbage, and plaintains... however everytime I come there is SOMETHING they ran out of or don't have. Which makes the plate incomplete and lacking calories that are extremely essential. Of course there's no price cut for incomplete orders what I am trying to understand is how you open at 11 am and things are out at 1:00- 2:00 things should be gone. I'm #teamsupportblackbusiness all day, and am a big proponent of buying Black whenever I can. but this service is below par, average wait time is 25-30 minutes, and there is a 90% chance that when you order, something will unfortunately be "out" uppa yard As a paying consumer, I urge you to get it together... also diversify your menu with more ITAL options for vegans/vegetarians as Rastafarian and vegan culture is huge component of authentic Jamaican cuisine. I will not be coming back. read more

The food is authentic and very tasty and satisfying. the staff is professional and courteous. I usually eat there 4 to 5 times a month. I'm hooked. read more

Food is really amazing, I'm just sad that I'm a vegetarian but it's okay... the customer service is also great and it feels like home every time you go there. read more

When calling their phone does not work that sucks their losing a lot of business with the phone being out

I experienced this restaurant for the first time whilst on a business trip and I must say the Red Snapper (escovitch style) was off the hook, just like Grand Ma's Sunday cook food. Amazing, there are very few places that can prepare a meal comparable to my mother, who was an awesome cook, but the ladies in the kitchen here, well lets just say, I felt like I was back home in mum's kitchen. A friendly family business that deserves a great deal of credit. We are very quick to talk about our bad experiences so thought to take a moment to speak on a real great experience. Great job Uppa Yard. Stay friendly, stay welcoming and continue to serve food of awesome authentic quality. Dr. B read more

Poor service, 1 hour walk in wait time, High prices for foam container take out, plus found metal 1/2 inch piece of pan scrubber in curry goat and boss didn't fix the dish, no concern for the customer satisfaction or their health read more

Since I first tried this restaurant over a year ago, I haven't been able to stop eating the delicious food they serve. It feels like you just have walked into a cozy food joint somewhere in the islands =).The food is consistently hot, fresh and delicious each time ( talking about made with love) you have to try it.The service is fantastic! A little side note: It is a very popular restaurant so you may have to wait for your order,but if you can't, call ahead and they'll get it ready for you. If you've never tried Jamaican cuisine before, let this be your first stop. I promise you won't be disappointed. read more

I went there ordered Oxtails to spicy other food have ordered very good will return just didn't like the oxtails

The brown stew chicken is amazing I crave uppa yard weekly. The wait is often long but every time I'm happy I waited since the food is so great read more

I try to patronize black owned businesses as much as possible but this place take customer service for granted. first, I called my order in and the lady says 20 minutes. I show up 40 minutes later and they tell me they didn't get a call. i placed m6 order again and I've been waiting 40 minutes as I write this review. While I'm waiting, there were 3 customers ahead of me. The cops came in, ordered food, got their food and are gone. WE ARE STILL WAITING! read more

Yum! Went for lunch, quiet, fairly quick, hot, and delicious. The large size is large, worth it. The sauce on the side was the best, sweet and tangy with a little spice to it. read more

The food here is pretty good, but the customer service is not great. You can never reach anyone on the phone. I called one day for almost 25 minutes straight as I was trying to phone in an order. My husband and arrive to find only a few people in the restaurant and the phone ringing and no one bothered to answer it. We may give them one more shot due to the food being worth it, but if the customer service is a complete fail again we will find another establishment to eat at when we are craving Jamaican food. read more

Jerk chicken was sooooo good. I've heard the Ox-tail is amazing so I plan to try that next. I would order ahead of time next time though. Great place for good take out. read more
