    Inside seating
    Alyssa Marie H.

    Similar modern decor. Friendly cashiers and servers. Not much has changed inside since I came here in high school. Except they no longer offer the chicken salad sandwich. Today, I had the grilled chicken sandwich with caramelized onions, mozzarella, and bacon. This was decent! The side of sweet potato fries are excellent with the pesto mayo. Just trust me and try it!

    Fish Wrap with side of Vegetables

    Having not been to this restaurant for a very long time, we have it a try last evening and were pleased with the food. Orders are taken at the counter and then food is brought to the table by a staff member. I had the fish wrap which was crispy fish and cabbage wrapped in a tortilla. The spicy dressing really added to the flavors. My husband ordered the Strawberry salad but instead he was served the grilled salmon salad. He didn't return it because he really liked the flavors- nicely cooked salmon and mandarin oranges in greens. Galaxy Cafe has a full gluten free menu too! We'll be back!

    A few things about this diner... Overall.. the food was good, even though one of my bacons was a little undercooked. We were basic in what we ordered, first time so we figure you cant mess up eggs and bacon and toast. The service wasnt.... Bad per sé, but they cant call themselves a diner when you order at the counter and then its brought out. It takes away from the diner experience and what if the service sucks? Do i ask for my tip back that you pre charged me? I ordered an a la cart pancake.. not bad, but, for 3$ for a 4 1/2 inch pancake, you can at least put a dab of butter on top and warm syrup... so not the case here. The food was good but absolutely overpriced.

    Pancake Breakfast

    Visited Galaxy Cafe last week for breakfast. It's a "order at the front then find a seat" establishment and they have a regular menu and gluten free menu. I ordered the chocolate chip pancakes with a side of potatoes and my boyfriend got the breakfast sandwich. We also split a carafe of mimosas.

    Burger and fries.

    Great burger and fries with IPA. Typical eat breakfast there. It's all good. Staff is friendly and efficient.

    Truly delicious!!!! Asian Seared Tuna Salad & Chardonnay

    Needless to say I was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo disappointed to hear that my ALL TIME FAVORITE SALAD MEAL ahi tuna salad was deleted from the menu that I was forced to pivot to this salad - ugh - I honestly tried to keep an open mind and I'm glad I did. It truly was delicious but it's not the same. I miss my GO TO SALAD! Damn it I'll miss my all time favorite salad. So sad.

    Very small power bowl.

    I like them okay. The food is decent and they are a bit more expensive however I do get them pretty regularly. That being said, the tiny portion I got yesterday on my power bowl has made me decide to start ordering elsewhere. I paid $16.99 for a very very small meal and ended up having to cook bc the portion was so small. It is time to move on from them.

    Brie Burger* with side
    James K.

    We ate here yesterday for a late lunch and enjoyed it. We were able to walk up to the counter and order immediately without much of a wait, which was nice. They then brought the food out pretty quickly too, and everything was warm. I got the build your own burger and it was delicious! The fries were warm and very good as well. 5/5. My fiancé got the Brie burger and she enjoyed it, saying it was 4/5. Five stars though for good food & reasonable prices!

    Grilled Chicken Chipotle Wrap* with side (Sweet Potato Fries)
    Charisse G.

    Wow wow wow wow wow. This place is outstanding!! First time I ordered I had breakfast, I got the Migas Breakfast and it was DEEELICIOUS, the migas were so perfectly done. They came with a side of refried beans and tortillas, although I don't think the tortillas were homemade. Didn't really eat the tortillas but I didn't really need them for my migas, and the migas were top tier. Only con is that I had added breakfast sausage to my Migas Breakfast for an extra charge and they didn't put my sausage with my food even though I was charged for it, DoorDash had to pick up their slack on this and thanks to DoorDash being so great, they more than made up for it. DoorDash shouldn't be having to make up for restaurants forgetting items paid for though, establishments need to do better on carefully reading and packaging orders. Food from here was outstanding though. I also got the kids breakfast with blueberry pancakes and skillet potatoes, the potatoes were so well seasoned and very good. Next time I ordered here it had just passed breakfast so I ordered lunch and dinner items. I got the Grilled Chicken Chipotle Wrap which was DELICIOUS. My side was sweet potato fries, the sweet potato fries I don't recommend unless you're dining in because they get cold very fast and just don't travel well. I also got the Grilled Chimichurri Steak Dinner with whipped sweet potatoes, which were so good and my steak was perfectly tender, very good steak. Only thing is it was more so medium rare than what I ordered which was medium, there was some blood on the container wrapper inside the box and the very center of the steak was pretty pink well red-ish, they needed to cook it just a tad more to not have the more red center and a more brownish pink than red. It's a super tender steak though no matter how it's cooked and very flavorful. I added the Pesto Pasta to the steak meal even though I already had the whipped sweet potatoes and both the sweet potatoes and Pesto Pasta were both good. It also came with a side salad. Now onto the best part even though all of it was yummy. The Chocolate Torte, oh my if this isn't the most delectable thing I have ever had. Do yourself a favor, if you order anything from here, make sure you at least get the Chocolate Torte, it is the best thing I have ever had. Photos don't do it justice. Even if you're not a big chocolate or sweets person, neither am I but this thing is DELICIOUS. Chocolate Torte is a hit and a must get

    Power bowl with salmon. Not very full. Disappointed

    The Buddha bowl was great. Full of vegetables and lentils, etc. I can't say the same about the Power Bowl. It didn't even fill up the bowl. It had salmon and brown rice but little else as you can see. I'm disappointed to say the least. It did taste good. Salmon was very tasty.

    Chicken Scraps

    I ordered a chicken bacon mozzarella sandwich, I got a cheese sandwich. When I pointed this out, I got this hot mess. It chicken scraps, tough, chewy, overcooked, and cold. Not to mention the leftover bacon. I paid $50 for 2 sandwiches and 2 iced teas. Absolutely disgusting, zero stars.

    First time visiting with mom!

Their burger is easily one of the best I've had in Austin, especially paired with their thin, crispy fries. It's my go-to order almost every time. One thing I love is that they switch up the steak portion of the menu a few times a year, and it never disappoints. Right now they have the steak au poivre, which is incredible, although I'm still craving their steak frites and hoping it makes a comeback. The escargot and French onion soup are also favorites of mine. At this point, June's has become a staple in our house--usually with a couple of Diet Cokes and either the burger or whatever steak they're featuring. A few of my friends swear by the chicken sandwich (fair warning: it can get a little messy!), the half roasted chicken, and the tuna crudo, so you really can't go wrong no matter what you order. On top of the amazing food, the staff is always incredibly kind and welcoming, which keeps us coming back. I definitely recommend making a reservation since it tends to get pretty busy, especially during peak hours.

    I really wanted to love this place, especially since it's considered an Austin staple, but…read moreunfortunately, my experience was pretty mixed. My biggest issue started before I even got seated. There is a QR code that you're required to use to join the waitlist/queue, but this is not clearly communicated on their website. You essentially have to arrive at the restaurant and figure it out once you're there. For a restaurant that is known for having long waits and high traffic, I feel like this information should be clearly stated online so people can plan accordingly. Once I joined the queue, I was number 43 and ended up waiting about an hour and a half before being seated. I understand that popular restaurants can have long wait times, but the lack of transparency about how the process works made the experience more frustrating than it needed to be. Once inside, the ambiance was actually quite quaint and charming. That said, considering how much traffic this restaurant gets, I was surprised by how limited the space is. I honestly think expanding the property would make a huge difference, although I understand that may not be entirely within their control. One thing I will give them major credit for is the menu. Online, the selection makes it look somewhat limited, but once you're there, they actually have 50+ food options, so there is plenty to choose from. That was definitely a pleasant surprise. Unfortunately, my entrée was disappointing. I ordered a shredded beef taco with salsa and substituted a side salad. The beef was extremely tender, but unfortunately, it was also very dry. The salad was another disappointment because the vinaigrette was honestly not good. I don't think I've ever had a vinaigrette that I actively disliked until this meal. Thankfully, my fiancé had a much better experience. He ordered an enchilada and said it was one of the top five enchiladas he's ever had, so clearly there are some standout dishes on the menu. That definitely made me curious about trying something different if I ever return. I also really enjoyed that they offer hibiscus tea. I was very happy to see it on the menu, although I personally think it would be better served on its own rather than incorporated into one of their mixed drinks. The drink itself was just okay, but the hibiscus flavor was great. Overall, I can see why this place has become an Austin staple, but I think the experience could be improved significantly by making the waitlist process much clearer online and by improving the consistency of some of the food. The menu has a lot of potential, and clearly, some dishes are excellent! Unfortunately, mine just wasn't one of them.

When I got there, four of the eight tables were empty but the dirty dishes had not yet been cleared. It took close to 10 minutes for the tables to be bused.
