USU Eastern’s dining services started spring semester with a few changes that should benefit the students. According to Becky Archibald, director of dining services, “We added espresso at the Golden Grille, and increased student meal plan swipes to two per day. Our espresso beverages include lattes, frappe’ and blended drinks.  We have added a 16-ounce hot chocolate or coffee.  We are excited about the additional options now available.

“The Golden Grille hours have been extended, Monday – Friday 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. The cooks will quit taking orders at 4:30 p.m.  Personnel at the Golden Grille will serve breakfast Monday – Friday until 10:30 a.m. 
 “In the dining room, we added a selection of quick fixins’ including mozzarella sticks, corn dogs, chicken fritters, jalapeno poppers and more. The dining room is open on Saturdays through Fridays for lunch (brunch) from 11:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. and dinner is served from 5 – 6:30 p.m.
“We have added six additional juice flavors at both the Golden Grille and the dining room.”
Archibald is excited to offer her second annual Super Bowl Party in the dining room on Feb. 3 at 3 p.m. She plans to have a buffet of food set out so students can snack throughout the biggest football game of the year. Everyone from the USU Eastern community is invited to attend, she added.
