When you think of complementary themes, the Iowa Hawkeyes and a space farm are probably not the first two that come into your head. However, after you visit the Mellow Mushroom in Coralville, you may just change your mind. The owners of this popular establishment managed to blend these two ideas seamlessly into a pizza place that can keep the whole family entertained.

Upon entering the restaurant, the first thing that catches your eye is a cow being abducted by a spaceship. The rest of the restaurant mostly plays off of this scene, immersing you in a unique eating experience.

The bar, on the other hand, definitely has more of an Iowa Hawkeye vibe. And with the large selection of beers (including a cleverly-designed spinning beer dispenser), it’s a great place to come and watch the game with friends.

To help make this dream a reality, Rapids stepped in to help design both the kitchen and the bar, as well as to provide kitchen equipment and smallwares. In fact, Rapids ended up putting together a private catalog for them, which they can access via our webstore, that provides special pricing on the smallwares they replace most regularly.
