While you may not realize it, you have chosen to dine in a Texas Tech University classroom! Skyviews Restaurant is a full-service, largely self-supporting restaurant designed and operated to provide a hospitality laboratory experience for up to 50 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.

Please note that reservations are limited due to the nature of our restaurant. Dinner reservations fill up quickly and will close 24 hours prior to dinner. If OpenTable does not allow a reservation or blocks out a timeslot, that signifies we are full for that time and/or day.

    It is always a great experience at Skyviews. The staff is super friendly and quick to fill and refill our beverages. The food is always amazing and the views of Tech campus are amazing.

    One of the best meals I have eaten at Skyviews. Had a not so good experience previously and was ready to stop coming but this meal tonight has restored my faith! Food well seasoned and right temp. Very good. Service element still lacking polish.

    My husband and I look forward to Dinner Series every semester! The queso and salads were delicious. The steaks were cooked PERFECTLY and the mashed potatoes were to die for. The pecan pie cobbler with ice cream just toped it all off. Wonderful server and atmosphere.

    Our experience was really great. The food was delicious and the service was very, very good. The margarita was underwhelming. It was a very enjoyable evening.

    The jalapeno chicken was to die for. The service was great. We will return in April for another dinner.

    The pecan crusted chicken was excellent as was the fried okra (so often unpalatable at other restaurants). Beef tips on rice were also tasty. We didn’t try the salad bar as that would have been too much food, but the chocolate peanut butter dessert was scrumptious. Food was self-serve from a buffet with salad bar first and then several main course and dessert selections available. We had reservations for lunch but it was “seat yourself” when we arrived at noon on a Tuesday. Service was prompt, polite, and helpful. Beverage was included in the price, making for an incredible value for such delicious food!

    This was my first time eating lunch at Skyviews and I was really impressed by their food and service. The dining area was a clean and looked very appealing, as did the food. One gentleman made us feel very comfortable and walked us into the dining area to choose our seats. He made the entire time we were there a very positive experience (I cannot remember his name though). We will definitely return for lunch again.
