Wonderful vegetarian and vegan options and always great quick service. Upland was our go to for beer, and now we go for the food! Try the impossible chorizo soft tacos at the Clay terrace location. Perfect.

It could've been amazing! First, the waitstaff staff is amazing and so was the music I like the young atmosphere. It was uplifting. Would I done here again I would, but I wouldn't order the fish and chips and because I don't eat meat, I'd have to figure it out.. Now I have to say I can't stand unisex bathrooms. It just gives me the creeps. We all know that men splatter when they stand and use the toilet and they don't wash their hands.. hey and some women don't you're just as guilty of it a lot of people think we'll just because they've urinated they don't have to wash their hands because it wasn't a bowel movement. Well, I disagree so you're nasty if you don't wash your hands. I believe the place in and around the bar could be cleaner. The fish and chips were good. They should've been great. It's kinda hard to mess it up, but it's possible when the outside is brown and crunchy and appears cooked it gives the impression that it's done. But the fish on the inside is a little undercooked, and the batter is wet. You don't know that until you bite into it especially in the middle super gooey! I have issues with that. I was going to send it back, but I didn't. I brought it home and put it in the microwave to cook it a little bit more and it was just OK. You know fish and chips dipped in batter the fish doesn't travel well and by the time you get it to where you're going it doesn't adhere to the fish. Haven't had fish and chips in forever years and I wasn't happy about the batter being sopping wet on the inside. I showed it to my friend and she was like yeah I see that.

This was our first time here and we were not very impressed. The pretzels tasted like cardboard, my tenderloin was decent at best and had way more toppings than I expected which made it very difficult and very messy to eat. My wife got the smoked wings and said that they were very rubbery and did not even finish them. They do not even have their kids menu visible anywhere. And I guess you love ipas and sours their beers could be great but I do not like them at all and they only had like 2 or 3 options that were not sours or ipas. The locations is great and in the summer time they could open the garage doors and it would be a nice ambiance. By FAR the best part about our visit was our service. Sarah was a great waitress. Very helpful, always kept our drinks full, was very quick with anything we asked for.

I visited Upland for the first time 3 weeks ago and have came back several times. The number one reason I continuously come back is for Sarah. She is the bartender and is absolutely stellar. Her personality is absolutely amazing and her service is just as good. I also love the food and atmosphere. If you haven’t tried Upland, you’re in for a great time!

Excellent sours, burgers, artichoke dip is best in city, and good vibes. I've had some of their chicken sandwiches too- yummy.
Aimee Murray
Absolutely love this restaurant! It is family friendly and very relaxed vibes. We always start with the pretzels. The beer cheese is mouth watering. This time I got the inferno burger and hubby got the pulled pork sandwich and both were amazing. I would definitely recommend!

The food was crap. I don't write much. I got the mini bratwurst. It was on a "pretzel bun" . It tasted like a thawed out bagel. It was dry and tasteless. The bartender was very nice. But to charge extra for the cheese and toppings $1 was dumb. I'm from Wisconsin. 50 cents is an overcharge! The beer is average. The flagship Dragonfly is not even in the top 10. Change the menu. PLEASE! People don't drink sours anymore.

Three cheers a new family-friendly hang-out spot! I hadn't been to this location in Clay Terrace in years. There have been several different restaurants in this space, but Upland is by far my favorite. We stopped in at 3pm on a Saturday and there were people watching games at the bar and we ran into some friends eating lunch. We had two babies with us and our server couldn't have been nicer. We were sat next to the big garage doors and the babies loved looking outside. There was also some room around our table to spread out, so we felt super comfortable. We got two of the Hoosier lager beers and they were great. They let you try drinks before ordering and I liked tasting the guava sour, which I'll order next time. We also got a few baskets of fries for the table and they were SO good - more like thick potato chunks double fried, clearly in-house. Delicious. The only thing that would've made them better is if they came with a sauce on the side. They have a cool food menu here too with interesting options like lamb bolognese, duck tacos, whipped feta with jalapeno honey, and more. Our server said that the turkey and guac sandwich is her favorite, which I had my eye on and will order next time. Thanks Upland! We'll be back and especially can't wait to sit out on that patio during warm weather!

The Upland locations always have such a cool vibe! The Clay Terrace location is no different. With that said, expect it to be busy whenever you go. We got there at 6 PM on a Saturday and didn't get a table until 6:30. Since it is a brewery, I can't not talk about beer. They have daily beer specials where each day is a discounted core beer. Saturdays is the little dragonfly. I'm doing damp January and their N/A beer was surprisingly good! As for their food menu, everything seems fresh. I ordered a Caesar salad and a side of fries. A downside to their food is, they never have ranch. They make a buttermilk dip, which is similar to ranch but on the sweeter side. Being from the Midwest, I've got to dip my fries in something and this buttermilk dip isn't it. Overall, the food is good but the vibe makes it great!

Food was very meh. I got the beer burger and the beer cheese was split and way overcooked. Fries were pretty good. The Nachos with spicy beef are a total miss. Most of the cheese was on the bottom of the paper. It also had random clumps of beans and four entire jalapeno slices. For almost $20 (with a small cup of sour cream), you might be better off trying something else. Our server showed up to take our order and when we paid. The rest of the folks here ran everything else out. One nice gentleman brought us waters until our server finally came over. The location is really nice. I could see this spot being successful if you are looking for some good drinks and a relaxed setting. Overall, I would try another spot. I will give it another try in a few months.
