Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Upland was named after the California town where chef Justin Smillie was raised and the restaurant is California through and through, but in a polished New York setting. The restaurant and menu are rustic and the attention to detail is spot on. Upland’s burger has gained some attention as it was eaten by President Obama when he visited in 2015.
The burger is an interpretation of the California-style fast food cheeseburger. The grass-fed beef patties are stacked two high and topped with a generous amount of American cheese, shredded lettuce, cilantro, tomato, and Peppadew peppers. It all comes together, making it easy to see why it was a choice good enough for even the President. Upland has many locations in the city.
