    Galactic Fried Chicken in Dayton, KY is serving up some seriously crispy, flavorful chicken They even have gluten-free options and the coolest retro sci-fi vibe inside. The staff was so friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. We grabbed the 3-pc tender trays (one with the spice rub, one without) plus fries, coleslaw, and pickles on the side. And don't skip the galactic sauce, it was so good. If you're a chicken tender fan, this spot is a must-try!

    Service- was 5/5. Great staff and very friendly. Ambience- 3/5 - little outdated, but it was old school and fine. But they are doing some construction so TBD FOOD- 2/5. I hate giving this score but there's reasons and need to be honest. First the good: the Texas toast (hint of garlic which was great). Was Excellent. Like southern places give you white, they step up and make the Texas toast. It's extra charge but really good. The galactic sauce- on point. And glad it comes standard because unfortunately that's how I got through eating the chicken. I was really excited to try this. They have won numerous awards, huge Yelp score but today.. it was off. Upside- The chicken was crispy and juicy. Fried perfectly. The downside- which was huge- was the oil flavor on the chicken. It was a mix of old oil and they fried a bunch of fish, didn't change it and then chicken. I knew I was eating chicken but tasted like fried fish. Hoping it was just an off day for the fryers The chicken was fishy after taste.

    Such a great fast food alternative to chains! The vegetarian nuggets were unique which I really appreciate, even if it wasn't my favorite. The deviled eggs were fresh and delicious. The servers there work hard, and are very friendly and helpful. The retro look of the restaurant is cool too! Overall, I would come back when I'm in the Dayton area.

    Chicken was cooked to order; fresh, crispy, juicy. Every time. Inject the galactic sauce into my veins. Service is great they make sure everyone is enjoying themselves and are taken care of. Great atmosphere as well.

    on the top is vegan chicken and on the bottom is a 4 piece fried chicken order.

    I really enjoyed my visit! The ambiance was amazing, service was fast, and the chicken was HUGE!!! I was a bit thrown off by the price since it is a little high, but you do get a lot of food with your order :) I will definitely be back. Also they had vegan chicken and my girlfriend liked it! The texas toast definitely left more to be desired though.

    3 Chicken Tenders Combo

    Galactic Chicken is certainly what I would call a hidden gem. You May drive right past it if you didn't know it was there. The restaurant is small and doesn't have a lot of seating, but that has never been an issue before. The staff is always so nice and has great customer service. Typically I get the 3 tender combo. From the picture here, the chicken looks small, but I promise you it is a lot of meat. There's no fluff - you will be full! They also have 4 and 5 piece options. They also have their own sauce that is a combo of chipotle and honey mustard and it's delicious. The only drawback is that the place smells heavily of grease, which is understandable since it's a fried chicken restaurant. Just be prepared if you choose to dine in!

    The big Baller.  Do it.

    With the impending snow hunker down, yesterday, a few friends and myself decided to indulge in one of the finest dining experiences in Kentucky, the Big Baller at Galactic Fried Chicken in #DaytonKY. A feast served on their mother's fine china, it consists of deviled eggs, fried pickles, kale salad, fries, and a mountain of the best fried chicken in Kentucky, elegantly crowned with a bottle of Veuve Clicquot that is popped table side. An experience that is special as it is unique. I highly recommend this delightful experience served by the skillful proprietors Kathy and Shane!

    First let me say that the food here is great! We were so thrilled to find a place that did gluten free fried chicken. The food was hot and fresh and the house made sauces were delicious. If you go try the house sauce. It's a chipotle honey mustard and has a great smoky kick!

    Does anyone know what type of oil they fry in? Is there lard used in anything? Thanks!

    My friend wanted to come here for her birthday. We dined in on a Sunday for brunch. At the time it…read morewas super busy because they were booked for birthdays and events but we managed to fit a party of 12 around the DJ area near the bar. They made it work for us and were very accommodating. The food menu served was brunch. The menu was simple, but they had a lot to offer. I would best describe southern soul food. Very reasonable in pricing and the drink menu had a great selection as well. My fiancée and I ordered: Drinks: -Pinot noir -Manhattan -Espresso Martini Brunch: -Grilled salmon with side of onions & potatoes - Shrimp and grits For it being super busy, we didn't have to wait long for our food. It was fabulous. My salmon was grilled perfectly. The hot honey went very well with my salmon. The potatoes were delish. My fiancée really enjoyed his shrimp and grits. He mentioned that the shrimp was on point. I tried my friend's French toast . Wow! That was amazing. Nina was our server and she was great! Very polite and attentive. She was working really hard. I want to give her huge props. I highly recommend coming here. The DJ really knows his music and everyone was having a great time. That's all that matters, Right!? Great place!
