    We walked to this diner from our Airbnb down the street! You order at the counter, grab your own drinks, then go find a table. They have many indoor tables in their large central dining area plus some picnic tables on the front patio. My friend ordered a cold brew and felt like it was too strong and bitter, but the regular hot coffee was good. The food came out in a timely manner but there's not much else to say regarding service since everything else is serve-yourself style. I got the breakfast sandwich, the eggs were extra fluffy and creamy! It only came with a few small pieces of bacon which made it feel like the egg to bacon ratio was off. Other than that, the croissant was large and the sandwich as a whole was pretty good! My husband got a breakfast burrito and liked it, the salsa was a great addition. Prices were affordable and food was good, not a bad place to grab a quick bite to eat!

    Homemade Oatmeal, Breakfast Sandwich, Mexican Breakfast, Skillet Potatoes

    The food came out extremely quickly! We were so impressed by this. Galaxy Cafe has eclectic space-themed decor. You order at the counter then seat yourself. There was plenty of seating available on a Saturday at 11am for our group of six. Their parking lot is small, but we had no trouble finding open spots. I had the "homemade" oatmeal, which comes with milk (of your choice), raisins, and brown sugar on the side. I like how it was on the side as I did not add all the sugar to my oatmeal. It was, however, really expensive at $7.57 for a very normal-sized bowl of oatmeal with limited toppings. My friend got the breakfast sandwich and said he liked it. Another friend got the Mexican Breakfast, and he said, "I thought it was fine. Not bad not great." I appreciate how they have a small vegan menu with modifications as my vegan friend was able to order an assortment of a la carte items. I think this is not a bad place for brunch, but the oatmeal is outrageously priced. The food coming out fast is so commendable though, that I must give the restaurant 4 stars.

    Galaxy Breakfast Bowl Pancake Breakfast Homemade Quiche (Spinach and Feta)

    Finished up a bike ride and breakfast at Galaxy hit.the.spot. The Galaxy Breakfast Bowl was dense in protein (eggs and beans) with a variety of vegetables and some breakfast potatoes. The textures and colors were a plus for me! Will absolutely order again. The egg dishes complemented well with the pancakes (shared with another). Appreciate that the coffee is diner style with unlimited refills, too! Looking for something refreshing? The pomegranate green ice tea (with a squeeze of lemon) is something I'd suggest. We were checked on quite a bit by a number of different service members, ensuring we had everything we needed.

    15 dollers for a thin frozen patty.... The audacity of some of these restaurants. Not sure why they charge so much for a single burger that's less filling than a McDouble lol

    Pancake Breakfast

    Great experience at Galaxy Cafe this morning for breakfast! Has a nice neighborhood cafe vibe with the nicest staff I've encountered in ages - super friendly and attentive!! We came with a group of 14 (in town for a sports event) around 9:30am and we were able to quickly place orders and get served. They have inside seating but also many outdoor tables which was perfect this morning. I had the pancake breakfast and added chocolate chips and bananas - delicious. Also came with a side and fresh fruit. A solid meal - slightly expensive but can't complain. The rest of the group enjoyed their meals as well ranging from their breakfast bowl, the big breakfast, and wraps.

    Outstanding presentation and taste! After a disappointing experience at Phil's Icehouse, I wasn't sure about Galaxy for lunch. You guys knocked it out of the ballpark! I don't even eat veggie anything, but this tasted great! Thank you for a wonderful first-time experience. I'll be back.

    Simple menu but what I got are nice and fresh. Order and pay at the counter, then will bring the food to you.

    The flavor was great, but the chicken was incredibly thin. It would have been a better sandwich if I could have tasted the chicken.

NOTES: - Reservations: available through OpenTable - Parking: free lot next to the building - Online ordering: available on their website through ChowNow for pickup - Happy hour: every day from 4:00 to 6:00 pm - Daily specials updated on their website THE HIGHS: - Hostess and server (Omar) were extremely welcoming and friendly - Container of water on the table so you can refill as needed - Food came out quickly after ordering - Fantastic portion sizes for the price THE LOWS: - Reservation didn't specify inside or outside and it was hot in the patio area THE PRICE: Very reasonable for the portion size and quality of food - All butter biscuits ($7.50) - Whipped cow's milk ricotta ($15.00) - Housemade pastrami sandwich ($22.00 each) - Cheese grits (menu said $8 but were charged $7) The total was $79.56 after tax ($6.06) but before tip. BEST BITES: - Pastrami sandwich (one of the BEST pastrami sandwiches I've ever had... packed with meat, bread is toasted well, and the fries are super crispy) - Biscuits (crispy outside, soft inside, and lots of layers... the molasses chili butter is sweet and melts into the biscuits) THE VERDICT: I had visited Salty Sow 4 years ago but hadn't been back just because there are SO many great places to eat in Austin. After coming back, I think Salty Sow is incredibly underrated and slept on... I already can't wait to visit again and will definitely recommend it to others!

We watched a couple World Cup games there and it was a nice environment for that. They also have ample patio space. Service is pretty fast too. Overall a fun place to get a beer and hang.

The indoor is very beautiful and smells like cinnamon and apple (a scent that I love), especially going towards the bathrooms. Theres a bar section with plenty of seating and the room inside the restaurant is overall very spacious. I didn't see much of the indoor as I decided to sit outside in the patio. Although being during the Texas summer, the patio has plenty of (very powerful) fans! The view of the green belt next to the restaurant is amazing, and there is also an outdoor bar, which gives impeccable vibes. We ordered two starters and had plenty of food! My husband ordered the Barbacoa Stackers (slow roasted barbacoa, refried black beans, Jack cheese, JAK slaw, Cotija cheese) I personally loved them! The meat was tasty and juicy, the black beans were perfectly cooked and everything was so rich in flavor. Definitely a 10/10! I ordered the Homemade Buttermilk Biscuit, served with honey & seasonal fruit flavored butter (with a side of yummy bacon) Today they had strawberry flavor, and there was even strawberry jam. I have to be honest, THE BEST biscuits I've ever had in my life! And I love me some good biscuits! They were buttery and crumbly to the right point! The strawberry butter with the strawberry jam was the perfect combo! We were told the biscuits are made fresh every morning, and I love that! It was definitely a 1000/10! We also got some chips and salsa. Chips are very crunchy, and the salsa is spicy to the right point! Now I'm building my tolerance with the spicy and this salsa was really yummy, and can build up the spice! The waiter who served it to us, brought it over in a small mason jar and emptied it in the little container for our table, which was something I've never seen done like this. Definitely appreciated it! Makes me think they make their own salsa (forgot to check on that!) They also gave us a complimentary pita bread with pimento, and it was delicious! The pita bread was very crunchy and salty to the right point! They even gifted me a portion of peach and strawberry cobbler, topped with ice cream, for my birthday and it was insane! The flavor was perfectly sweet and mixed with the ice cream was very refreshing and still warm and melting in my mouth! Probably one of the best cobblers I've ever had! And keep in mind, we got here that we weren't feeling super hungry, and yet we were able to appreciate every single bite cause it was so good!! Last but not least - Ali, our server, was incredible! She was so nice throughout the whole dining experience and made sure we had everything we needed. She was so kind to ask if I could add peach puree to my freshly squeezed lemonade (which is a 10/10), and even made sure I had plenty of strawberry butter for my biscuits. We definitely took some leftovers home and I can't wait to have the remaining biscuit in the morning!
