How We Are Different
When you open a restaurant or bar in a vibrant region like the Twin Cities — home to landmarks such as the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden and U.S. Bank Stadium — standing out is essential. You need a design that captures attention and a kitchen layout that supports efficiency during even your busiest rushes.
At Rapids, we understand the demands of Minnesota’s dynamic food scene. Whether you’re serving guests in a hotel, prison, country club, food hall, brewery, or campus dining facility, our team works hard to deliver a kitchen and dining environment that meets your needs and exceeds expectations.
Service Area
Our consulting and design services extend throughout the Twin Cities and surrounding regions — typically within a four-hour drive of our St. Paul, MN office. This includes major cities like Minneapolis, Rochester, Duluth, Mankato, Fargo, Sioux Falls, and others across Minnesota, Western Wisconsin, Northern Iowa, and Eastern North and South Dakota.
Whether you’re launching a new concept or renovating an existing space, we’re ready to support your project with the expertise and creativity it deserves.

Cameo Restaurant
Rapids entered this project after the initial design had already been completed. Due to the subpar work of the original consultant, the team at Rapids ended up reworking a lot of the plans.
Rock elm Tavern
When Rock Elm Tavern opened in 2015 at its first location in Plymouth, their goal was to provide a downtown dining atmosphere within the suburbs.
Union Depot Bar & Grill
The Union Depot Bar & Grill is a complete commercial kitchen and dining room remodel located in the historic Union Depot in downtown St. Paul.
Hot Indian
Hot Indian is a fast casual concept bringing accessible Indian food. Rapids was involved with Hot Indian well before they decided to build out at the Skyway location at 8th Street in Minneapolis.
