Aspen Grille, the student-run restaurant located next to the North Ballroom in the Lory Student Center, opened Sept. 17 with a seasonal menu, featuring new items developed by students and committed to supporting local and sustainable producers. 

The green eatery welcomes students, faculty, staff, family and friends for lunch, Tuesday-Friday, 11 a.m.-1 p.m. It also features a full bar with beer, wine and spirits. 

Students from the Hospitality Management program in the Food Science and Nutrition Department of  the College of Health and Human Sciences work in all aspects of the Aspen Grille operation.

Reservations are suggested, especially when the Grille is serving specials, such as on Oct. 3-4 for Latinx Heritage Month and Native American Heritage Month, Oct. 31-Nov. 1. Call (970) 491-7006 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Tuesday-Friday, or make a reservation online at lsc.colostate.edu/dining-at-the-lory-student-center/aspen-grille/aspen-grille-reservations/
