I am looking to create a new DB from a backup here's the code

RESTORE DATABASE SpProductionDBBak
FROM DISK = 'C:\DellSqlBackup\SpProducitonDb10-29-2007.bak'
WITH
REPLACE,
NORECOVERY, -- Use if more T/Logs to recover
-- RECOVERY, -- Use if NO more T/Logs to recover
-- STATS = 10 -- Show progress (every 10%)
MOVE 'SpProductionDBNew_Data' TO 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\DataFiles\SpProductionDBBak.mdf',
MOVE 'SpProductionDBNew_Log' TO 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\DataFiles\SpProductionDBBak_Log.ldf'
GO

It tells me it successfully restored, but in SMS when I look at the Database in the object Explorer it says

SPProductionDBBak(Restoring...)

any thoughts?

is it possible that it's still working (20 minutes have passed)

That's because you've specified the NORECOVERY option, which mean you want to keep restoring files.

If you are finished with restoring, then specify RECOVERY instead.
