Skyviews

Specialties

While you may not realize it, you have chosen to dine in a Texas Tech University classroom! Skyviews is a full-​service, largely self-​supporting restaurant designed and operated to provide a hospitality laboratory experience for 150 — 200 students each week. While you are enjoying an excellent meal in the lovely surroundings, students are developing skills and applying knowledge. Every day is a learning experience for our students, and we welcome comments and suggestions as we strive to improve your dining experience. We greatly appreciate your patronage.

We are open Monday through Friday 11am-​1pm for our daily lunch buffet and select evenings for Dinner Series throughout the year. We operate in accordance to the TTU Academic Schedule.

History

Established in 1989.

Skyviews, is set above the treetops on the sixth floor of the Texas Tech Plaza and is almost entirely student-​run. In addition to the view, the restaurant offers a fine dining atmosphere to patrons at dinner, and a venue where RHIM students learn restaurant management from the inside out. Restaurant, Hotel and Institutional Management majors at Texas Tech spend hours every week running Skyviews Restaurant, where they say they get not only an education, but also a glimpse of the real world.

They are not your typical students. They leave their books at home. They wear a uniform to class. They don’t take notes, they take orders.
