lue Plate Restaurant Company opened its doors in the Highland Park neighborhood of Saint Paul on March 2, 1993. Two business partners, David Burley and Stephanie Shimp, saved up and sold their belongings to open the doors of Highland Grill nearly 30 years ago. They saw a missing opportunity in the neighborhood: breakfast. Today, signature breakfast items like the breakfast bowl and French toast are the cornerstone of Blue Plate restaurant’s menus, along with signature salads, tacos, burgers, craft beers, a wine list crafted by Shimp, and classic cocktails with a twist. BLUE PLATE B TAKING CARE OF EACH OTHER, ONE MEAL AT A TIME. RESTAURANT COMPANY
Since the debut of Highland Grill, the duo of Burley and Shimp have opened restaurants, concessions, and even a food truck. When dining at a Blue Plate restaurant, you’ll sense community, experience a warm hospitality, and enjoy comfort food with a new flair. Shimp credits the success of the restaurants to staying true to one guiding principle: passionate hospitality. She says, “We have built our culture at Blue Plate around doing what’s right for the guest and taking care of each other.” These are simple words, but they really do mean a lot.
It’s what makes Blue Plate restaurants feel like home. Join the fun at BluePlateRestaurantCo.com
