I had lunch with a friend at Galaxy Clarksville. It was at high noon and very noisy and crowded. I'm not a fan of queuing and then ordering at the counter. Their food however, is always consistently good. I was with an elderly friend and it was really hard to hear because of the noise level. The walls just bounce the sounds around. I probably won't go back anytime soon. read more

Do not recommend. Ordered orange juice because the menu said it was fresh squeezed. It was not and I refused it bc I hate concentrate. She gave me a coffee cup instead - the self serve coffee was lukewarm. Finally, the quiche I ordered was undercooked and was definitely yanked out of a freezer and not made in house. Won't be back. read more

I'm confused by the low reviews. It's a cute diner-like spot in Clarksville that serves decent quality diner food. It's clean inside. The prices are great, the portions are humongous and the staff are wonderful and cheery. Everything a 5 star diner should be. They have a GF menu, a breakfast menu, and lunch/dinner menus you can grab from the baskets on the wall. It looks like there were a lot of healthy options for lunch/dinner on the menu too. You order at the counter, grab a number, and sit down. We had a breakfast sandwich ($10.99) and a side pancake with bananas and whipped cream. The breakfast sandwich came on a wonderful flaky croissant and was massive - the chipotle honey glaze on the side was also so unique! They drew an adorable smiley face on our pancake too! The gigantic breakfast sandwich, pancake, and vanilla iced coffee (which was delicious by the way) was under $20. Great experience - I would come again and again :) read more

Good food good vibe. Dead cockroaches in the bathroom are a bit gross. Exterminator please.

I felt the bowls were pretty filling. A little on the expensive side but then again so is everything in Austin. Otherwise worth it for a healthy balanced bowl with protein. Staff were wonderful. read more

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

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! read more

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. read more

For the THIRD time in a row my to go order was not okay. The way it gets handled is TERRIBLE. "Let me give you a dessert". What. The tip I left online which I wouldn't have, would pay for 3 or 4 desserts. We sadly won't be back. read more

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. read more

I really like Galaxy. The food is good. I love that they offer Oat Milk for the coffee cream. Not all restaurants give that option. I will go back. It's kind of my go to restaurant in Austin. I wish it wasn't so cold inside. I shiver every time I go in and my adult daughter and son were cold too. I have to take a heavy jacket or parka next time. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Really cool place but coffee selections could be better. Great vibe; food was great. Highly recommend.

If you're going for healthy and pretty good, come here! It's casual and you can tell it's made out of good ingredients. Also, if you have dietary restrictions they have options. I like the spring bowl and galaxy steak sandwich. read more

Why 4 stars? Because this was a pretty ideal place for what we needed. --- --- --- At a work conference, we were all sitting around a giant conference table and needed a place to order lunch from. Galaxy was suggested, so we all scoured the menu and put in our order to be delivered through GrubHub. I ordered a chimichurri steak wrap with sweet potato fries. I honestly can't think of anything I disliked about it. It was the perfectly enough food without feeling stuffed and ready for a nap afterward because we still had hours left to co-work together. When we ordered, it asked what dressing I wanted, which was kind of strange because there was no salad. Maybe I could have added the dressing to the wrap, but getting to the middle of the tortilla was like penetrating a maximum security prison. I'm not even sure if that was what I was supposed to do, but I tried because the dressing was quite tasty. If you're looking for a not-super-unhealthy-working-lunch in Austin, this is a great option with a menu that probably has something for everyone. read more

Galaxy Cafe was the second restaurant I visited on my first trip to Austin, seven years ago, and I hadn't been back. My husband and I love diners, so he wanted to try it. When we got there, we were bummed that they didn't serve breakfast all day, but that was our fault for not doing our research. I settled on the Hot Shrimp Salad, and he got the Steak with Chimchurri. I had his side macaroni and cheese, which was the best part of the meal. Everything was overshadowed by the fact that our water from the soft drink dispenser tasted like mold. Maybe it's good I haven't been back in 7 years. read more

I went with a small group here for dinner. Great set up for that. Very efficient. Order and then sit down. Food was brought out fresh and hot. For the most part it's hood value for your money. My only complaint was I ordered the burger with Brie. It seemed free if Brie. No taste. It looked like there were a couple of morsels. Also missing... caramelized onions. If I had not been with a group I would have brought it back to the counter but I did not want to make a fuss. And even without those imo essential ingredients, the burger was darn good! And the other 4 folks in our party enjoyed their food. Tacos, salmon, veggie burger. I hear it's the best veggie burger because they make their own. I am indeed a fan. Hope to get the tight burger toppings next time. read more

I love everything about Galaxy West Lynn right now. Everything we have gotten over the past months has been excellent. They season and cook perfectly--chicken, salmon, vegetables (except maybe for the sweet potatoes, which are too sweet). We went to the one in Northwest Hills about a year ago, and I was disappointed with the spinach and shrimp salad, among other things, so was happily surprised that the West Lynn location is still good. Highly recommend. read more

Needed a good breakfast spot and drove by this place. Overall good food and good atmosphere. Service was fairly quick. Only negative were the eggs were slightly bland...nothing that some Tabasco and pepper couldn't fix. read more

What a sweet little spot! My partner and I were looking for some breakfast. It was a battle between Galaxy and another spot close by. We did a coin toss and I am so happy it landed on heads! We arrived around 11am. Surprisingly, There was one open spot for outdoor dining. We ordered at the register and sat outside. We both ordered lightly from the kids menu as we were going to meet our friends for lunch at 1. Haha. My partner ordered pancakes with a side of extra crispy bacon and a small coffee. (They have almond milk, you have to request it) I ordered a breakfast taco with eggs, mushroom, and red peppers and a small orange juice. ( you can choose 2 ingredients with the eggs) I thought I ordered bacon but I did not :( Our order including tax and tip was $16 They were prompt with bringing our items out! I was also very impressed with the beverage refilling area. It was clean and organized! Really enjoyed, and hope to return soon! read more

Great little cafe in the heart of the Clarksville neighborhood. The service was super quick and everything was tasty. You get to pick your own taco fillings and both the tacos I got had generous portions. However the clear standout was the breakfast sandwich. All the ingredients seemed fresh and freshly prepared. They also have a few sweet treats which go well with the house coffee. A great vibe for catching up with friends or chilling by yourself. read more

FOOD I thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast. Refer to photo! Food felt fresh and clean. INSIDE is clean and modern. Very open feel. No complaints about service. Plenty of open seating when I came. This was walking distance from my Airbnb. PARKING lot is right out front. Vintage yet modern feel to the restaurant. Like a diner from the 50's feel. read more

Classic cafe vibes - solid food and a thematic restaurant. Can't go wrong really, though I haven't had everything on the menu.. I tend to visit for my breakfast fix. They have the basics for a great price and decent wait time and consistent taste. Pay them a visit or call in your order! read more

THIS IS A TAKE OUT REVIEW Sorry for the yelling, just figured I would address it first. I really was hoping to give this more than 3 stars, but here is why it didn't make the cut, in my eyes... I got the chipotle chicken wrap and while there was a slight afterburner, the actual chipotle flavor was lackluster and unmemorable. The chicken itself had a lot of chewy bits and almost resembled frozen chicken fajita strips I'd buy at the store. Sorry! I ended up taking most of them out and ate the black beans, cheese, tomato, onion, and lettuce instead. Got the side of Mac n cheese and it was basic. The macaroni was cooked well so I was happy about that! I asked for ketchup packets on the side for the mac (no judging) and it was not provided in the bag. Bummer. Overall, I don't necessarily know if I'd have this delivered again for lunch. The entire meal came to about $15 and in my opinion it should probably be more like $8 wrap with a $2.50 side. Pretty pricey for a meal that was mediocre at best. read more

My favourite place yet. Heather took an uncomfortable situation and saved me from an embarrassing situation! (I had forgotten my wallet and was at lunch with a guest) I can say the food was great, I can say the ambience was great, I can say the service was great, but all of that seems insignificant when compared to The attention. Heather gave to my situation. I will forever be loyal to this restaurant and by the way, yes, the food was great, the ambience was great. The prices were great., And the management was empowered and empowered its employees. It cannot get better than that! read more

Friendly service, delicious breakfast! Very clean and quiet!! I had the American breakfast and it was cooked to perfection!

Second visit to Galaxy. The first was sometime back at the Brodie location. Today we went to the West Lynne slot in what used to be called Clarksville. The venue itself is pretty utilitarian. Nothing outstanding -- just functional. They do have a nice sized patio dining area that's shaded from noon on. Galaxy is counter service. The menu is fairly varied and interesting. Heavy on burgers, wraps and sandwiches. The service is commendable. My companion ordered a glass of Pinot noir. The counter dude immediately admitted to the fact that the bottle had been open for a while. My partner tried a glass, and, when she made a face, he instantly opened a fresh bottle and poured her a replacement. That's service. We shared a Zocalo Buddha Bowl. It's a southwestern twist on their Buddha bowl, which is itself a twist on the Poke bowl. The portion was more than plenty for two. I could have taken a decent box home. Overall, it was top notch. The aichote grilled chicken, while a little skimpy, was warm and smoky. There are plenty of black beans, lots of cheese, decent amount of brown rice, and an excellent tomatillo and avocado dressing, made in house. It was well-balanced, with no flavor overpowering. The waitstaff was prompt and responsive and courteous. I'll be back. read more

Great place for a quick casual lunch, a convenient location for a casual business lunch.

My breakfast (the American) wasn't anything special but it was not bad. I wish the bacon had been thicker or at least crispier. I probably wouldn't order it again just because there was nothing memorable about it. However, I still give this place 4 stars because it's easy to find a table, I liked the local habanero hot sauce they had, they have a lot of gluten free options, and they have a good amount of parking. The cute Halloween decorations were also a plus! read more

Amazing lunch and dinner spot (I haven't tried their breakfast yet). They have separate gluten free menus & their fries are celiac safe which is amazing (they are so tasty).

Lovely ambiance as well. read more

Galaxy Cafe - My gluten free chicken sandwhich and the Brie and Smoked Turkey Sandwich in front. Delicious as always. - American Near Me - Austin, Texas

Oh man did my boyfriend and I hit the jackpot coming here! It was much better than we were expecting! I don't know if it's actually a hidden gem or not in Austin, but it is tucked away in Clarksville, surrounded by historic homes. The feel of the diner is very 60s retro. It's not upscale by any means but, very cute. We went randomly on a Monday night for dinner and we're so shocked by how good it was. I ordered the Spring Buddha Bowl, which was basically just a better version of Modern Markets Buddha bowl. The chicken was so tender/absolutely cooked to perfection. It came with a generous amount of broccoli, red peppers and cabbage. There was brown rice on the bottom and avocado was included. I was worried there wouldn't be enough peanut sauce for the bowl but, it was a perfect amount, not to mention the dish was so good it didn't need much sauce anyway. My boyfriend got the Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich and was also extremely happy with his. The bread was crispy and light and overall the sandwich was tasty. The ranch dressing was very unique and tasted good as well. They also had some delicious herbal tea which, I am pretty sure was Rooibos. Waitstaff was friendly and service was quick. Will definitely be back soon to eat our way through this menu. read more

I can't speak to the ambiance and experience since I ordered via GrubHub- but I loved the Galaxy Buddha Bowl that I ordered. The chicken was cooked well, everything was seasoned and I loved the peanut vinaigrette and how everything went together in an explosion of flavours. I wish they had provided some utensils to eat with as I had requested some, and additionally work on packaging since some of the sauce leaked. Nonetheless, I'm excited to try their food again! read more

If you have celiac disease DO NOT eat here!!! They have a special gluten free menu which would make one to believe that they are gluten free conscious but they are not. I ordered a gluten free wrap, even called the restaurant after I placed my order & they assured me they would be super careful because of celiac disease. I was delivered their spinach gluten containing wrap. Even my receipt said GF and Celiac disease on it. Luckily I did not think it looked right so I called the restaurant to ask if their gf wrap is green, they shared it is not and that they used the wrong wrap. Luckily I called and didn't just eat it or I would have been extremely sick. My advice to this restaurant- don't offer a gluten free menu if you don't take it seriously. Extremely careless and damaging behavior. read more

Surprisingly great for vegans! Highly recommend the roasted vegetable buddha bowl. FYI, it is massive, but so so good. I think this restaurant is perfect for casual family meals. Ambience is certainly nice enough for brunch, but not so nice that you feel underdressed in hiking boots (which my entire family was sporting). read more

I love this place. I mainly just come here for the fish wrap which is the main reason why I give this place a 5 for tbh. The fish wrap here is amazing. Burgers are decent here as well. There was one sandwich I had from here that I wasn't too fond of, but my love for the fish wrap just overpowers everything haha. Also the restaurant just looks so nice and cozy with amazing decorations and super congenial staff.. soo yea... I'm done. Can't wait to try some of their other concoctions here. read more
