Home-Style Jamaican Jerk at Uppa Yard

At the always bustling intersection of Capitol and Fond du Lac sits a stretch of block with many small businesses that thrive on the North Side of Milwaukee. One of the busiest is
Uppa Yard, specializing in Jamaican cuisine. The restaurant is run by father and son Oliver Edwards and Oliver Edwards, Jr. It recently moved into its home on 4943 W. Fond Du Lac after needing a larger space than the one that previously housed it a few doors down. The interior is painted in black, yellow and green, the colors of the Jamaican flag. Ragga (not to be confused with reggae) music, a fast and exuberant Jamaican sub-genre with rapped lyrics blasts over the speakers. There is a waiting area with a wraparound banquette and the dining area has tables separated by plastic dividers, complying with COVID safety precautions.Â
