Absolutely fantastic every time! Their eggplant fries are a hit every time, a must have! I tried the Cuban and it was very tasty. Service was a little slow but it was a Sunday night and there were some big groups ordering food so totally understandable. read more

Ordered pickup at 8:30. Pickup time was 9:37. Walked in at 9:37. Food wasn't ready yet, fine, I take a seat. I sit for 30 MINUTES waiting for my food while employees bus tables around me. I eventually go up at 10:15 to ask what's happening, and the employee went around the corner to grab my food. How long was the food ready? No idea. I had to go up after waiting over half an hour, despite making eye contact with the employees to remind them, hey, I've been here waiting for an order for half an hour that I placed almost two hours ago. 0/5 regardless of the food. read more

Place has a very cool vibe. Huge choice of wine and beer and some nice bites to go with. I went with my girlfriends tonight to grab some dinner and drinks and we really enjoyed the cool vibe. I will definitely come back to check out their karaoke or live music events and try some more beers. read more

Galaxy Hut - Jalapeño bomb with vegan cheese - Salad Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Food was objectively bad and overpriced. Service was non existent and the whole place was run down and disturbingly dirty. Not sure how they have the reviews they have or how they have not been shut down by the health department. Do not go here, spare your money and time and health for a place that actually somewhat deserves it. read more

In the post-grad corridor of Clarendon sits a beloved dive bar with real personality. If Cheers had an alt cousin, it would be here. With a wide range of funky and hard to find microbrews on tap, and super cool bartenders who are also welcoming and don't seem like they would've bullied me in high school (can't say the same for Don Tito's), Galaxy Hut is a neighborhood staple and a weekly haunt. Live music every Sunday makes this place even more worth checking out. But if you heed nothing else, order from their entirely vegan menu. The cashew cheese is cheesing; the tots are immaculate. read more

Great vegan food and fantastic selection of beers. The place is small so show up early and don't get discouraged. If you can't get a seat, take an order to go or wait. Don't leave without some food. read more

The last time I came to Galaxy Hut was over a decade ago, and I absolutely did not recognize or remember it at all besides the name. So my most recent dinner there was like a new experience, and it was a great one. The DC-area doesn't have as many restaurants catering to vegetarians as you'd expect, so the all vegetarian/vegan menu at Galaxy was a major part of the appeal. The interior has a really comfortable, inviting and artsy vibe, we got a booth that had a painting of two gleeful skeletons on the wall over it. We were brought menus while seated and then I placed my order at the register. My grilled cheese sandwich with tomato on sourdough was excellent - not too heavy, and it's always hard to do that with a good grilled cheese while still ensuring that it will be delicious. My partner really enjoyed his Reuben, which he had with vegan cheese (my sandwich was dairy). The portions were generous, definitely didn't need any sides. I really liked that you had the option to order different glass sizes for beer. I liked a little less than the water cups available next to the water dispenser were single-user plastic. Overall a really solid spot and seems like it would be especially fun for a group outing. read more

Awesome spot!! Food was very good! We got the brussel sprouts, Mac & Cheese with bacon, tots, Reuben and the Jalapeño burger. I wish the Mac & Cheese had that cheesy gooey ness to it but that's a personal preference. It was still super good and we ate the whole thing. The beer list was extensive! I stuck to their Sour selection and dang they were all so good! My friend had a few different drinks but the one that stuck out was the Peach Cider. It tasted like you legit just bit into a Peach! The whole staff were welcoming and friendly. The bartender, Joe, (I hope I remembered his name correctly) was great! read more

Many beers in draft! Limited seating. First come first serve so be sure to plan around that if you're trying to have a large group gather. It's order at the bar for everything. No table service. Many grilled cheese options with dairy cheese and plant based cheeses. Simple basic and great! I had the plant based Reuben. Lots of sauerkraut and perfectly toasted and cheesy. Yum! Side of tots were hot and crispy. It's dark in there. Decent prices for a basic, easy, reasonably priced meal. Service was also awesome! read more

An unpretentious dive bar with arcade games in the back. Note that this place has vegan only options (can add real dairy/cheese) to the menu. Alcohol is also limited to just beer, despite an expansive menu. Ive gotten the tater tots and they're so addicting, I highly recommend! The service is mostly at the bar- food comes out fast and piping hot! Would return with friends for beer and casual outing. Location is a bit out of the way however close to other good restaurants. read more

Tried the grilled cheese and gator tots tonight. The cheese sandwich was a vegan cashew cheese blend and mozzarella blend on sourdough bread. The sandwich was very good for a cheese sandwich. The Galaxy had a broad range of beers on tap providing a lot of options for a small place. The decor was unusually different, which is why I was drawn here. While eccentric to say the least, it was different and refreshing at the same time. I recommend giving it a try. The food and beer options were quite satisfying. read more

Galaxy Hut - Bar. - Salad Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I struggle to explain why this is my favorite spot in Clarendon, but it is. Ill try. Anytime I walk in, a VHS movie is playing with closed captioning on, music is playing, and the sweet rich smell of fried veggies and cheese mixed with sour beers tickle my brain. They used to have concerts here, and hopefully will again someday. The little side outside area is great to overhear gossip about people you don't know while maintaining a safe distance to not seem like you are weirdly listening in. Even in the rain you can hide outside for a bit to get some fresh air or hide from your own thoughts. I would sit inside and write my novel if it wasn't so cliché. The bartenders / cook staff are insane in a good way, always with wild eyes and eager to serve up tasty things without judgement. Even if you order the loaded tots and fried cauliflower for a table for 1. They have games I want to play but never do. The thought is nice though. That is what this place does. It helps me have better thoughts and realigns my desires to simpler things. Id gladly pay for that therapy any day. read more

Damn. That was good! Daughter is vegetarian and so wanted something safe as we travel. Came here and bruh... first off did the eggplant fries. Nacho Tots- and my daughter hates nacho cheese but this plant based stuff is dope. She got a Cubano. I got the Reuben and was able to finish half of it. Other half will be devoured with the rest of the tots for a midnight snack! read more

As someone who is neither vegetarian nor vegan, I thoroughly enjoyed the food here! We arrive around 7pm on a Friday and it was already full inside so we decided to just do takeout. The inside is relatively small so just be weary if you plan to dine in. In terms of food, the Brussels sprouts and KFC Things were our favorites. Perfectly crispy and seasoned! The sauce for the KFC Things is AMAZING Fricken Sandwich and SmokeHut Burger: the meatiest non-meat sandwiches I've ever eaten! Everything on the sandwiches were great, but we all thought the bread was a little too bready and dense. Otherwise great options. Totooine: Their version of vegan poutine. Tater tots are top tier. Super crunchy and delicious! The gravy has a sort of thyme/rosemary profile to it, like thanksgiving flavor. Very unique flavor read more

The vibe is so cool and the fact that everything on the menu is vegetarian/vegan is amazing! Walking in, it really feels like you went back a time. Sit at any open table and look through the menu, once you know what to order head to the bar. Once your food is ready it will be brought to your table. I went with the jalapeño bomb impossible burger. For the table we split onion rings and buffalo cauliflower. Everything I tried was amazing! Jalapeño burger was bomb (no pun intended) and the onion rings were cooked well and buffalo cauliflower was definitely a hit. There were so many other food options to try that I hope to come again soon! read more

This is a very fun and cozy dive bar. I come here mainly for the vibe and for the beers on tap and not for the food, but I think that's pretty good as well (I'm not even vegan). Much like their sister location (Spacebar in Falls Church) they have really great tater tots. Unlike Spacebar they have a really wide variety of accompanying sauces to choose from. They also have a nice variety of beers on tap. The service is really friendly. Easily accessible from two Metro stations (Clarendon and Court House). read more

Counter-service vegan food inside of a dive-bar with an extensive drink menu as well Also have a small area with seating outside in the back If you don't like vegan food you can also order anything on the menu with real dairy (AKA cheese) instead of vegan-dairy I got a cheeseburger (technically a BYO grilled cheese with a cheeseburger in it), and it was very tasty. read more

After moving back to the DMV after 8+ years in NYC, I've sorely been missing a good dive bar. Galaxy Hut and its sister location, Space Bar, are the closest to scratching that itch for me. The vibes are a bit hard to explain, in a good way. There's always a movie from the 90s playing on a small CRT TV in the corner. Local art lines the walls. An '80s era table pinball machine and arcade emulator serve as both functioning games and tables. There's a good selection of beers, too. But by far the best part of Galaxy Hut is the food. It's vegetarian/vegan that doesn't sacrifice any flavor. Lots of meat-free options with opportunities to sub vegan cheese for dairy. The Red Sauce Joint is an EXCELLENT veggie meatball sub. It's unusual to find good bar food that's also vegetarian. If I had to nitpick, I'd say they could stand to crank the AC more on hotter days. I always get carded the second I walk in here - which is likely because I'm very short. I used to bartend so I understand, I carded anyone and everyone, but it feels a bit aggressive each time and is definitely more pointed at me than anyone else I have ever come here with. I'm a woman in my 30s. Something must have happened to make them suss of anyone shorter who sets foot in the bar. That's really it, though - this place makes me feel like I'm back in the East Village, in a good way. read more

A cool place between Clarendon and Court House that has great beers. Service is entirely through ordering at the bar, which is totally fine. There are nice places to talk with friends about things both inside and outside, and the service in general is really good. A cool place to go for a drink. read more

Very good hazys.. have to be right up there among many microbreweries Ive visited. Prefer the look of this place over what Ive seen on the metro side. Food is good but tends to be slow when foot traffic pick up... friendly service nevertheless...Definitely worth a visit or two... read more

Great beer selection. Great vegetarian comfort foods. Great artwork. You must go here.

I was so excited for this mostly vegan place but it was such a huge disappointment. I got the totooine- tater tots with a poutine like gravy and cashew cheese. I was really excited for this dish but it was truly awful. The gravy had a weird medicinal taste to it. So I called back and they said they could refund my money or make something else. I should have taken the refund but I had hope that there would be something better so I asked if they could make the Galaxy nut sandwich. It's a veggie burger made of beans and some other stuff. There is a vegan (cashew) cheese on top. The burger itself was the consistency of refried beans like a paste plopped on the buns that I couldn't touch it- it was so disgusting, and the cashew cheese tasted old and again awful. The best thing on the sandwich was the onion rings. So I ate that and threw the rest in the trash. Two dishes in the trash and $10 later, didn't get more than a couple of bites, still hungry, but now I feel a little sick. I should have gone for the refund. Will not be back here again. If you want good vegan food, go to Troy's Italian in Arlington! read more

One of my fav Vegan spots in Arlington We always get the Buffalo Cauliflower The fried Zucchini fries are good too! read more

The Buffalo Things (fried cauliflower) with vegan wing sauce and vegan ranch as well as the Eggplant fries were both amazing! I'd make the trek from DC here just for the Buffalo Things! The Brussel Sprouts (fried w/balsamic drizzle) and the Fake 'n' Cheese (vegan chicken Philly cheesesteak sandwich) were just ok. Great spot overall with friendly staff. Seating is a bit tighter than I'd prefer considering we're still in the midst of a pandemic, but great spot, nonetheless. read more

me and my girls love Galaxy Hut such a vibey local bar with really great vegan options! i love the chicken sandwich and the eggplant fries and the tots servings are huge read more

I came here on May 4th in celebration of Star Wars day. I ordered the Totooine. I don't consider myself a connoisseur of vegan food, but this was delicious! The only thing I would change is the portion size. I was given enough food for two or three people, so I couldn't finish it. I probably should have understood that that dish is meant to be shared and enjoyed as an appetizer. Next time, if I'm on my own again, I might try one of the grilled cheese sandwiches. They looked good! You can also order beer to take out, which is fantastic! I enjoyed the brown ale I tried. The location of the restaurant is good. I was able to easily park right in front to pick up my food. There was a table set up in the doorway for people to pick up their orders. I hope they get to bring customers back into the restaurant soon! read more

Looking for a casual spot for a chill night? Galaxy hut is unlike any other spot in the Clarendon area. While it's not huge, it's got a great vibe. Old game consoles made into tables, lots of art and a small bar make the place one-of-a-kind. Pretty dark in here - you'll see in the photos! When I arrived on Thursday at 7, it was pretty packed but we were able to grab a table. You order from the bar. They have quite a few beer and cider options, and I even noticed a few wine selections. I had the Blake's flannel cider. The food- so everything on the menu can be made vegan. Such a cool spot with food that appeals to everyone. For dinner, I split a plate of the totchos with vegan cheese and the meatloaf grilled cheese, sub vegan burger. It was all spectacular! The vegan cheese melted on the tots but wasn't soggy and the tots were crispy. It was good portion too! My sandwich was crispy and all around so flavorful. My friend has the vegan chicken philly cheese steak - I tried a piece of the vegan chicken. The texture and the taste was awesome. Check this place out for a drink and some bar food! read more

I'm not a vegan, but wanted to try something new. Very small bar area, but it wasn't busy since it was Monday night. Ordered the vegan reuben and enjoyed it more than I expected it to. Tried the Vanish Ways beer which didn't match my taste. I am going to go back and try it again. read more

A classic dive bar in Arlington. I went here 20 years ago & it looks exactly the same - very cool. Apparently the food (serious vegan menu) is really good but I just came to have a few beers with friends. I'll definitely be back read more

Man, i wanna be like 'go here' cuz i love it and i want them to thrive but i also wanna be like 'don't go here' cuz i don't want too many people crowding up my spot. Love this place. Cashew queso is delish and honestly i'll eat anything you out it on. read more

AMAZING!! Decided to get takeaway one day with my mom and this place sounded delicious and it was. She got the fricken sandwich which was pretty good but I ordered the brussels and bacon and OMG it was soo stinkin good. If you like tempeh its seriously to die for. I ordered online for pick up and it was simple and the food was made on time. I believe currently they are only offering takeaway but I would call and double check. Amazing food a must try if you are visiting or looking to try something new. read more

In an area where dive bars are disappearing faster than off street parking in Arlington, we still have Galaxy Hut! Small but mighty Galaxy Hut has a large variety of craft beers and excellent munches. Any place that has Tator Tots, old school table video games and pinball is Ok in my book. They have live bands and comedy nights. I love the old posters and bar decor. Love the Hut! read more

The vegan food is AMAZINGGGGGG. I mean I almost asked for a jar of the vegan ranch to take home, it was so good! Definitely get the eggplant fries, it was a huge portion, crispy, and just freaking good! The eggplant fries are a must! My friend and I also ordered the vegan grilled cheese and the chicken cheesesteak. Honestly....again...so good! The bell peppers on the chicken cheesesteak were perfect. I actually questioned myself quite a bit if everything I was eating actually vegan. Lol The place is divy, keep in mind, very dim. The place is chill, not too loud! Parking can be a little bad, it's all street parking! read more

Best dive bar in Arlington. The draft beer menu is expansive. The food I dream about for weeks after eating it. All their food can be made vegan and the substitutes are amazingly delicious and aren't expensive to substitute. The move is to get the tater tots and turkey melt and substitute turkey for vegan grilled "chicken". You can play 2 player Pacman at some tables and there's also a small patio to sit outside. read more

One of the last remaining vestiges of Old Arlington (from a dive bar standpoint). The place is legend but still as good as ever. Dozens of beers to choose from and an expansive food menu (personally, I can never resist the loaded tater tots)! There's a quarky small outdoor seating area (that markedly improved over the years with actual tables), and a couple of old school table video games. The vibe is laid back and fun (especially if you don't take yourself too seriously). read more

Y'all this meatless sub was so dank. I've been craving to eat a meatball sub for a few years now, but I try not to eat red meat since I used to be a vegetarian and want to limit my meat intake overall. When I saw the meatless version and ate it, my life truly changed for the better. It was so tasty. Beer was good and vibes are awesome, but that sub really did something for me. Overall, I loved all the vegan options too! I will be back to eat the sub and try some other snacks too read more
