Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken

Ordered Astro doughnuts and two breakfast sandwiches for delivery and they were delicous! The Egg Royale sandwich and Eggstra Bagel sandwich are both amazing. I ordered the latter with fried chicken as the meat and it was worth it. I also added their honey butter to both sandwiches and it complimented well. The half dozen doughnuts were all really tasty. The creme brulee filling was a little thinner than I expected, but still yummy. I definitely order from Astro Doughnuts again. Thanks!

PLEASE EAT CAREFULLY. Not only are the chicken tenders here comedically overpriced, they are also dangerous! Found this big shard of razor sharp bone in one of them, very fortunate to have noticed before any damage was done!

I ordered 30 mini cake doughnuts and since they could only fit 4 of the 5 flavors in the branded box, they put the other flavor in a cardboard generic box. These were a gift for someone so to not have them all in one box wasn't the best look. However, the cakes themselves were good. Maybe just fix the packaging issues.

I stopped to try this place for breakfast when my usual place was too busy. I had the sandwich off their menu and some coffee. I looked at the donuts and they look interesting but there were no samples and I am not a big enough fan to try them for their prices. The sandwich was small for the price as well. I was expecting a little bit more in the value side. I will try this place again once they get a little more established and organized. They had just opened when I visited so there were many little things still missing. I really believe they should do a sampling day for the donuts because they are very unique.

I love this place. The chicken is so good and delicious. The hot honey sandwich was so good. Periods

Had an ok experience here. The doughnuts did blow me away. I was really excited at first when I got a gift card to go for my birthday but it did not really meet expectations. The flavors were bland on most doughnuts- the only one that was good was the maple bacon. I might try it again but unsure…

Listennnnnnn, I've had Astro Doughnuts before and they are amazing. But the one in VA is the only one that gives you a doughnut with espresso in it! They cut a hole in the doughnut put Nutella in there and that keeps it from soaking the doughnut.....whoever invited this is a genius. Chicken sandwiches was one of the best I've had in the DMV. The service was fantastic. She informed me on the specials and how the coffee doughnut was made.

This place was delicious. We enjoyed an assortment of mini doughnuts, coffee, and tots, and we were very satisfied. A must visit!

Love the chicken fingers with gone mustard. They are fried just right. Have to come early there donuts are fast to go

The Food and the customs service is amazing!! I honestly recommend trying this place out

I had come here after a workout and originally wanted to work at a coffee shop down the street but felt compelled to come by and see their amazing donut selection. I have gone to Astro donuts plenty of times and frequented the DC location more times and more calories that I care to admit. In fact, I was going to grab some sweet surprises and walk back to the coffee shop. However, I saw that they had coffee and asked if they had free Wi-Fi and I was SOLD! Plus, they have a much more open area with a cute little seating area. I also tried one of their hot spicy coffees and it had a nice kick to it and who doesn't love the kick of the caffeine to wake you up! My goal is to always try a new donut, but some of my top faves include the peanut butter jelly, the creme brulee and the seasonal cherry blossom. You won't be disappointed. On this trip, I decided to try the lemon meringue and the chocolate chip cookie dough. - lemon meringue - I have to say that the lemon meringue flavors, and the oozing of the lemon topped with the meringue was so delightful that I feel that it's my all-time favorite donut. - chocolate chip cookie dough - I thoroughly enjoyed this which was also full of chocolate goodness with those chips on the outside. The icing on the top was the cookie dough ball in the middle. Hi-five and bravo for these two new donuts I got to try. Now, what should I try next. Send me a message of your favorites.

Oh how the mighty have fallen. We have been lamenting that the Astro in Falls Church closed and we have not been able to have their food. Well we shall lament no more after the terrible food we received via Grubhub. Ordered chicken tenders, fries and cole slaw. It used to be five huge, meaty pieces of chicken in their tenders. This order had four tenders, about two inches long and not meaty at all. The fries were lunchroom fries, nothing better. I am really sad because this used to be one of our favorite places but on the bright side, I will not miss it any more.

I love doughnuts but this did not make the cut. I think I picked the wrong flavors that day. I ordered the crème brule and the peanut butter and jelly donut. The one donut was pulled from the display as it was the last one of the day. The peanut butter and jelly just was way too sweet for me. The texture was too much with the peanut pieces and the jelly filling on the inside.

This little place packs a HUGE punch when it comes to the variety of sweet treats and delectable classic breakfast menu items. I found this place on instagram and traveled 2 hrs for it and boy did it live up to the hype in the comments. I was a blown away by how kind and quick the servers are but also how amazing the culmination of sweet and spicy on a breakfast sandwich in a biscuit could get. Such a simple yet effective concept that Astro's has perfected. Another nice perk is the fact that the small serving of tater tots is so plentiful. Also, I HIGHLY recommend the freshly fried to order strawberry shortcake or cinnamon buns. I'm not even a sweets person but when they offered me these treats for free just to write this review I gave them a try and MY GOODNESS they are so amazing. I'm literally coming back before 5 today to get more before Astro's closes. Overall, whenever I'm in the area I always find myself here and I've never been disappointed by the atmosphere, kind workers, or delectable food.

Ordered 9 mini doughnuts online and were pleasantly surprised with how soft and delicious they were. We ordered the strawberry shortcake, maple bacon and cinnamon sugar. My boyfriend and I's favorite was the strawberry shortcake. I didn't go inside so not sure what the inside vibe is. However, my boyfriend did say the cashier wasn't the freindliest but perhaps a bad day or busy day. Will still be back!

One of my favorite donut joints! I picked up the chocolate candy bar donut to eat after I finished a bodybuilding competition the next day and this one did not disappoint. I'm still thinking about it two weeks later!

So I got this on door dash and I know the travel can influence the heat of the food. So with that being said the chicken fingers were warm and not as amazing as the doughnuts. So let me focus on the doughnuts ....those doughnuts are AMAZING, I got the Key lime , the maple bacon , the strawberry shortcake, chocolate birthday cake, honey bun and the crème brûlée. Loves, these doughnuts change lives , and for someone who does look at the cost these are worth every penny. The crème brûlée caused fights over who was going to have the last bite as well as the key lime. The Vietnamese Nitro latte (iced) was easily the best coffee I have ever had . I can't speak on the vibe of the place or the service but I would say the doughnuts are a dream come true and if you value your love ones get two of each flavor to avoid hurt feelings lol

I've been coming to Astro for years--since they had a Falls Church location--and I'm glad that they are now open in Shirlington. If you're looking for a fried indulgence, this is the place. I'm especially a fan of the creme brulee donut and their seasonal offerings, including their special donuts decorated for Hanukkah and other Jewish holidays. The chicken and the tater tots are also top notch and always a crowd pleaser.

First time but won't be my last. Absolutely amazing vibe as soon as we walked in. Top notch customer service. I ordered the fried chicken honey biscuit and it was the best thing I've eaten in a while. Can't wait to come back.

Received a coupon in the mail to check out Astro doughnuts and fried chicken. I ordered a breakfast sandwich (Belgium waffle with buffalo chicken) and it was NOT a good combination. The waffle ends up being soggy and the buffalo chicken is such a distinct taste that eating it with something sweet like waffles tastes awkward. Service is average. I ordered an iced coffee but they ended up giving me a hot coffee instead. There may be a language barrier but I let it go. It's a small seating area in the establishment with tables but it was empty when I walked in.

This review is strictly for the chicken tenders: extremely mid and devoid of seasoning. I liked that they came out hot and fresh, but for the love of god, please put some seasoning on that chicken! The Korean BBQ dipping sauce tasted 0% like any Korean food I've ever tasted - I pulled out the Sweet Baby Ray's at home instead

I had the egg royale sandwich and the fried egg was cooked on a dirty flat top or sauté pan and so overcooked. The top half of the biscuit was slathered in butter and weighed at least 8 oz on its own! The fried eggs in the morning melt sandwich were lovely - clean and cooked well. I always question when a restaurant can't consistently cook such a simple item as an egg. Still on the hunt for a decent breakfast sandwich!

Came here for Saturday brunch for my brother in laws birthday. Food was delicious. Service was quick. And we all had a great time.

I was super stoked to (finally) try this place. The first time we came by, they unexpectedly closed at 4:30 when the sign said 5. We had planned to buy a bunch of donuts for a party so that was disappointing. The second time we came by, I got the egg royale. This was honestly a very disappointing sandwich. I think the biscuit was supposed to be chive or onion, but didn't have much allium flavor. The biscuit was also claggy. It was served with a piece of dry cheese, that was just there. I wished for it to have been melted or something. The sandwich just tasted like individual parts, without any cohesion as a breakfast sandwich. Still 3 stars because the hubby said his fried chicken sandwich was good and he gave it 4 stars. Maybe try the fried chicken options if you come.

We came in for brunch last week and generally had a good experience. We tried the fried chicken sandwich, some of the doughnuts next door, and some of the made-to-order cookies as well. The doughnuts were actually the things we would skip for future visits; by 11 AM, we thought the doughnuts felt like they were well past due, with a density that was beginning to taste a little stale for the day. My kids tried the pretzel and seemed pretty happy; sliders also went down quickly. I like the space (the Beer Hall was where we sat for the meal) and my kids enjoyed playing video games while waiting for the food. Prices feel normal for this part of town, and service was fast and friendly.

Breakfast sandwiches are good and so are the doughnuts. Nice location with easy parking and colorful interior.

Delicious doughnuts and coffee! We had to come back for more. Grab some for your drive home.

I've been the Shirlington location a few times now. The maple bacon mini donuts are great, the food is good, the drink menu is creative, and the games are a great time. My kids love coming here too, and they can enjoy themselves while we sit in the nice outdoor seating.

The donuts were amazing and didn't disappoint, especially their crème brûlée donut which was the perfect balance of soft donut with filling with torched sugar glaze on top. Service was efficient and pleasant as they explained each of their specialty donuts. The fried chicken on biscuit with the hot honey sauce is a must try for anyone that hasn't had the opportunity to try it.

Service was great! The lady at the register helped us out and gave us great recommendations! For the great service we will be back!

Great location , clean and friendly service Donuts are amazing And you can get three mini donuts with different flavors

Great food and customer service. The chicken tenders are my absolute favorite. xoxoxoxoox

I am not a big donut fan but...let me tell you this!! Quaint storefront establishment. Service is nice and Their Maple Bacon donuts are WONderful! Not too sweet or "cakie". Perfect amount of bacon and just yummy with my Americano.

Delicious and adorable treats for the family. We got the strawberry shortcake donuts fresh from the oven

Sweet and savory!! Definitely a must try when in Shirlington! You will not regret it. My go to spot!

The Doughnuts and chicken are the bomb! So delicious. The fillings and flavors of the doughnuts are a great combination. If you're in town, make the stop.

We were on vacation and this little shop was recommended. It did not disappoint. My husband had a bagel with cream cheese and it was very fresh. I had a donut and coffee. It was breakfast time so the donut was very fresh and tasty. My coffee was very good too. Nice little place and it was clean and the service was quick and efficient.

So yummy! Its hard to find fresh made to order donuts nowadays. Friendly staff and of course it's nice to have the beer hall next door.

Good stuf Good donuts nice location and good staff good variety and nice facilities come here

The Shirlington store messed up my order and when I tried to call NOBODY ANSWERED there was ZERO CUSTOMER SERVICE! The food looks good but the lack of respect for my business is unacceptable! There are plenty of good restaurants around here, customer service is where you can make a difference

I had the Egg Royale and PB&J doughnut. The sandwich was everything I wanted for a breakfast sandwich and the doughnut was perfectly salty and sweet. The staff are kind and attentive and the vibes were great!

Will def be back. Mikes a cool guy. Im typing some more because yelp said this review was too short

Alexandra was our waitress for the second time we've been here and she was wonderful both times. Service was perfect and cocktails were on point. First time we came they didn't have donuts (apparently now they do) but their cookies kept my wife coming back for more. The food is on point. It's not fine dining but it's great bar food. The wait staff is as good as it gets and it's a great vibe. Definitely recommend.

Only sandwiches in Arlington. Probably should change the menu online to make note of that. All doughnuts (only counted 8 flavors offered) were sold out apparently. Service was blah as if they didn't want any business. All good though typical for the Nova/DMV area.

We are so happy we stopped here because there was variety and something for each family member to enjoy. Everything was delicious! The service and atmosphere were great as well.

If you're looking for a juicy crispy fried chicken sandwich, this isn't going to scratch your itch. It was sawdust dry, cold, and the breading was soggy. However, the flavor was good so it has potential. Also their Astro sauce is great and the tots were just right. I'll stick to Hot Lola's and maybe try the doughnuts here instead.

Why did I just pay $5+ for such a bad donut? These are just as bland as grocery store donuts, twice as expensive, and with a smaller variety. You don't have to trust my review, go and look at the sloppy display case, then trust your instinct and leave.

great service. hot delicious doughnut! I would highly recommend going there and I can't wait to return!

Best biscuit sandwiches and donuts! The egg royale breakfast sandwich is our favorite. This is the perfect addition to Shirlington!

Food was AMAZING, per usual. OK selection of drinks (wish there was more) but the price was wonderful so I'm not complaining. Service was decent but it was really busy and I know she was doing her best. Unfortunately we couldn't hear any music because it wasn't very loud and the conversations were louder.

Service was great and fast! Food was delicious. Very clean and very friendly staff! The vanilla oat milk latte was delicious and the breakfast was fresh and very good!

What a great experience I had at Astro Shirlington! The bartenders were spot on with their beer knowledge and their food came out fast. Cant wait to watch more college football here.

love the store customer service is great I had a wonder time eating the food and the store is lovely built and very clean

We waited and waited- this place finally opened-The ASTRO beer hall is a separate entity- the side shop Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken does NOT have fried chicken as a main option- just sandwiches???....and it closes at 5pm. OK..... the location in Falls Church often runs out of chicken late afternoon and also closes early(before the stated time) so I wanted the fried chicken option in Shirlington but NO-take fried chicken off the NAME- you just have chicken sammies

11/27/2023 I got here at 4:04pm and they only had 1 doughnut in stock, literally 1 single doughnut. It was the Christmas Cookie flavor so I decided to buy it. The doughnut was dry and cost me $5.44.

I thought I'd try the donuts here since I heard a lot about them. For the price of $5 each donut, I was highly disappointed. Don't charge high end prices for mediocre donuts! They were too sweet, dry and stale. You're better off getting donuts from Dunkin or Krispy Creme for that quality and pay a lot, lot less.
