It's donuts. It's fried chicken. It's comfort food done in the right way by people who know what they're doing. Had a good day? Celebrate with fried chicken and donuts. Got fired? Make yourself feel better with fried chicken and donuts. Accidentally became the most wanted man in America while visiting our nation's capitol? Lay low, order some fried chicken and donuts, and wait for it to blow over. It's the perfect restaurant.

Best donuts in the city...hands down. They also have great biscuit sandwiches for breakfast. My favorite donut flavor so far has been the Christmas Cookie Donut back in December. They change their flavors up each month which is cool and keep a few staples. I love going once a month at least to switch things up. Keep your eyes out for their truck too!

Best donuts in DC. Their flavors are always on point and unique. To correct other reviews, there is seating and full service right next to the main door. It’s not very clear, but there’s plenty of seats inside. The order counter for pick up is tight. Also, of course it’s pricey and there’s no parking. It’s downtown DC. But I come here as much as possible. The creme brûlée is the best. I’ve also had Key Lime Pie, Cherry Blossom and Nutella. All amazing!

Not bad. Pretty good BLT Fried Chicken Donut Sandwich. Several downsides though: only outdoor seating, there are only 2 donuts that you can choose from to be a donut fried chicken sandwich, and it’s a bit pricey ($12.50) for just the entree. Give it a try if you want, but don’t see myself coming back.

Very cozy spot. The peanut butter and jelly donut was my personal favorite. The doughnut has peanuts on top with jelly filling in the inside. Service was quick with a friendly staff.

Didn’t realize this place was a chain (?) cause the donuts were delicious, fresh, and creative. And perfectly paired with the fried chicken. Wasn’t super impressed with the service or location, but definitely worth ducking in if you’re in the mood for a sweet & salty way to start your morning.

I love the fried chicken on the cheesy biscuit that they offer for breakfast. It's so fresh and delicious. You can get awesome donuts ave great coffee options here as well. If you prefer they also have lemonade and other great drinks too. It's easy to get to and worth the trip. If you're in the area make sure to check it out.

This is an excellent place to grab some breakfast, lunch, or to get your donut fix. The takeout half of the restaurant is pretty small and can get cramped, but they also have a restaurant side with plenty of seating, TV's, and table service. As for the chicken, it's pretty good; it's flavorful and has a good amount of crispiness. You definitely can't go wrong with a sandwich here (on a savory donut bun). For the donuts, they always have four staple flavors and four rotating flavors. The cake donuts are exceptional! They have a very moist and rich texture. My biggest complaint is that only 1 out of their 8 flavors on any given day is a cake donut. The yeast donuts are pretty good as well, but they don't nail the texture quite as well. They can be just a tad doughy, but the filled donuts balance that out to the point that it's not noticeable. For that reason, PB&J is by far their best staple donut! In summary, Astro Doughnuts is a unique and quite excellent shop, and I'd recommend giving everything on the menu a try if you get the chance!

Small store space but big flavors! Tastes exactly like what they describe. Lots of outdoor seating

Great choice if you only have a quick moment to stop to grab something to eat. The chicken here is juicy and the sandwiches are small but mighty filling. Very limited seating (no seats inside and only a few tables outside) so whatever you order you'll likely have to eat it elsewhere. Always and interesting selection of donuts, and they usually have a few chicken sandwich specials to choose from.
