Independent restaurants are the heart of our communities. We create jobs, support local farmers and suppliers, bring visitors to our towns, and provide gathering places where memories are made. But today's restaurant industry is more challenging than ever.

That's why the Upper Cumberland Restaurant Alliance (UCRA) was created.

We believe that when independent restaurants work together, everyone becomes stronger.

Whether you're a coffee shop, bakery, food truck, diner, fine dining restaurant, brewery, catering company, or family-owned establishment, the UCRA is your voice, your resource, and your community.
