Overall: 5/5 A shirlington village fave. Exquisite donuts and chicken sandwiches. The donut flavors are constantly rotating and they tend to sell out quick, a testament to high quality. These bakers know what they're doing. Not a place I'd lounge at, but if I wanted to there's pleasant seating outside and near the large light welcoming windows.

Chocolate Candy Bar Doughnut

While I appreciate a business responding to understand a patron's experience, I outlined what happened when I ordered a donut and instead got a cookie, yet the business wants to understand what happened? I don't know! Maybe more training is needed? (face palm) That response actually turns me off of a business even more.

Who doesn't love a good donut. Saw this place and I had to try it out. The win-win was that they had a maple bacon doughnut score. See you on the other side of eating a doughnut. I need to try the chix at some point but who doesn't love a maple BACON donut. See you again soon Astro!

May the Fourth be with you! Astro Doughnuts was one of the few places in the area I found that was doing themed food for Star Wars day so I definitely had to get their donuts to celebrate. I got the light and dark side donuts for some balance but actually found myself liking the light (vanilla) better than the dark (chocolate) to my surprise so I guess I'm a Jedi after all!

Dozen Doughnuts

Ordered the night before to pickup in the AM for work. Fresh doughnuts with flavor & uniqueness. Only thing really is the price; I wanted something different for work, however unsure that I'd purchase again because it's costly.

Peanut butter and jelly donut
Shayla M.

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.

Some march specials mixed in with regular flavors

If you're looking for a bougue doughnut, look no further! These were huge and surprised me with fillings! Great grab and go in the village of shirlington

A Nice Sweet Stop in Shirlington Astro Donuts and Fried Chicken is one of two locations in the chain started by 2 friends who loved food and hockey. It is located in Shirlington and is the kind of spot you might pass by without realizing that it is even there. It is tucked into a small storefront with limited seating inside. There is a counter to the left and a few mismatched seats to the right along with a door to the next establishment. The place was clean and had a very eclectic feel to it. The menu is on the back wall and touts breakfast items and fried chicken as well as the donut options. We were greeted as we entered and the staff was friendly and patient for newbies like us. We ordered plain donuts just to try them out. They tasted as if they were freshly cooked. They were delicious. The price may seem a little high but from my perspective for fresh cooked , delicious donuts they seem very reasonable. The store is not flashy, but the combination of friendly staff, fast preparation, and fresh, delicious donuts makes it worth a stop if you are hungry for a treat.

Vietnamese Nitro Latte
Jennifer S.

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

Half dozen doughnuts
Amanda T.

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!

Friendly service, delicious fresh donuts, and juicy fried chicken I love the ambiance of the environment, will definitely be back!

9 doughnuts
Ashley D.

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!

Donuts

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.

They also have great daily specials. They have a gigantic projection screen TV on the ground floor for sports and karaoke. They have been experimenting with the karaoke, but I am so glad they brought it back! It was so popular so it was confusing why they changed it to begin with. Karaoke is hopefully back to stay on Fridays from 9pm-1am. When it gets busy, the service can be slow. However, it is usually good. They have a private back room on the ground floor for hosting private parties, holiday parties, birthdays, corporate events and happy hours. The rooftop patio has a full bar and is very nice to eat there and relax in warmer weather. Bathrooms are usually clean. There are two entrances -- one sliding door without stairs near the ground floor outside patio and the main entrance does have stairs. There are no elevators. The ground floor is massive and able to hold hundreds of people. This is a great spot for sports, brunch, karaoke, and just socializing.

When I asked about it I was told "I dont F'ing know they changed this S and dont even tell us" I knew I was in for interesting time when every worker in there looks like they do not want to be there. Finshed my food and drink and got the heck out of there. Order a cocktail and they just yolo it when making it. Hope the Virginia Department of Health comes and checks this place out asap. Last time I ever set foot in this joke of an establishment.

We sat along the front window which was a great space mixed with bench and chair seating. I ordered the Winter Hash and the poached eggs were overcooked.

It is worth a visit and a great spot for brunch. I was not a fan of the automatic 22% tip charge for a group. I have seen 20% auto which is fine and normally what I tip. I was surprised by the 22%.

We stopped in for lunch before taking some family to the airport, and Copperwood Tavern was perfectly on the way. From the start, things felt easy and relaxed. A few family members ordered the fried green tomatoes. Since they're Southern, they felt the tomatoes could've used a bit more batter--but that critique is very subjective. Flavor-wise, they still enjoyed them. Several of us had the onion soup. It leaned a little on the watery side, but it was still comforting and did its job warming us up on a cold day. My mom ordered the farmer's salad with squash, and that maple mustard vinaigrette? Chef's kiss. The flavors paired beautifully and made the dish shine. A few family members ordered the tavern burger, which was huge--easily enough for two meals. I went with the grilled rosemary chicken, which was flavorful, well-cooked, and very satisfying. We didn't even make it to dessert because everyone was full, which says a lot. The ambiance was very holiday-focused and cozy, service was efficient without being rushed, and parking is metered with a two-hour limit. Overall, a solid stop with comforting food, generous portions, and a warm atmosphere. Copperwood Tavern proves that sometimes the quieter spots are absolutely worth the visit.

Not special, but reliable, with something on the menu to please anybody.

Samuel Beckett's deserves extra points for NOT raising prices to the same degree as some of its Shirlington neighbors.

I'll select a different entree if I return. My friend had Shepherd's Pie which she enjoyed. She also ordered the bread pudding. I had a bit but it was too sweet for me.

Parking is a hit or miss, as far as the street, but there's garage parking nearby. Regardless, both you have to pay. The portions here are quite generous, and you definitely won't leave hungry and most likely with food to go for another meal at home. I.S.H. ROLL - $16.95 This roll was so delicious and very filling. It's packed with deep-fried tempura shrimp, jalapeño, cream cheese, and avocado, then topped with spicy kani, eel sauce, and spicy mayo (I omitted the eel sauce). The flavors work really well together, though for the price point, I do wish they used real crab meat instead of the kani (imitation crab). It would have taken the roll to the next level! I thought I would want more rolls to try but I barely could finish this alone. SHRIMP RAMEN BOWL - $18.95 I ordered this with the veggie broth, and it was a huge amount of food. It's a very hearty bowl, I added chili paste for some heat, though I personally wish they had chili oil instead, as it usually mixes into the broth a bit more smoothly. SHIRLEY TEMPLE $4 I had a Shirley Temple, it was a good drink, but be aware that they don't offer free refills on it which kinda was disappointing.
