Blue Plate Restaurant Company Inc

Blue Plate Restaurant Company is a locally owned & operated collection of community-inspired restaurants, passionate about taking care of our people, our guests, and our neighbors.

It all started in 1993, when David Burley and Stephanie Shimp opened the Highland Grill, located in the Highland neighborhood of St. Paul. Since then, the collection of Blue Plate Restaurants has grown strong to include seven restaurants, The Blue Barn at the state fair, and Bottle Rocket at MSP Airport.

At Blue Plate Restaurant Company we believe that we can create meaningful experiences every day by providing approachable flavors, passionate hospitality, and a connection with our community. We serve from-scratch, craveable food and a wide range of local and quality craft beers, wines and creative cocktails. We work daily to create a culture, atmosphere and environment that is welcoming to all. We embrace our community and create spaces where people can come together to share stories and create new memories. We encourage all members of our Blue Plate family to be enthusiastic about living their best lives.

and… We are always looking for great people to work with us!
