Small sign out front it's actually a different restaurant. The menu online is not the menu when you get there. We went for smash burgers, and they were not on the menu. Instead, it was heat and eat dry chicken sandwiches. It was $50.00 for two people. The chicken was dry and overheated. These are precooked thin chicken cutlets. One half was so overheated that the chicken was stiff.

Couldn't find this place. Wandered into Astro Bar to see if they could point me in the right direction and they said Astro Bar was Satellite Sandwiches and pointed to a small sign in the window. I asked if I could order a sandwich and the guy at the front said I had to go order at the bar. I walked to the bar and asked if I could order a sandwich and the bartender (who seemed very annoyed I was bothering him) told me I had to go order at the front. At this point I walked out. *shrug emoji*

We preordered a catering package of mini donuts and chicken tenders for a Girl Scout trip w 11 people! We needed something quick to go between our White House and Capital tours. The order was done when we arrived. The chicken tenders were perfectly seasoned and cooked, so crunchy and moist. And the donuts were amazing! Great assortment of flavors and nice sweet dough. This was also our cheapest meal of the trip which was an added bonus!

Maple bacon donut was delicious, peach filled donut was average; neither worth $5 plus tax. To top it off got the stink eye for not tipping.... I will give you a tip: don't charge $5 for a donut.

If you want one of the best doughnuts you have ever tasted, go to Astro’s doughnuts! Creative flavors, fresh, and great customer service. We ordered a crème brûlée, peach cobbler, and banana pudding doughnut. While the peach and banana were amazing, the crème Brûlée was the BEST doughnut I’ve ever tasted. This is a must see stop in DC!

Awesome donuts! The key lime doughnut was the best I've ever eaten. The cream filling was outstanding. The creme brulee doughnut was also filled with delicious cream. Very tasty and a fun experience trying them.

Donuts are delicious, if a bit pricey. There is quite a variety to choose from and they aren't your usual flavors. Cheery Blossom was very pretty and very yummy.

I have ben coming here as often as I can on DC trips as I am a diehard fan. I was very excited to see when I landed that cherry blossom doughnuts were available as that was the doughnut I had on my first trip. Hand decorated doughnut with great cherry filling (not pie filling) and a cherry blossom drawn on top. I paired it with a fried egg savory doughnut sandwich. Yes, the place is small and has tables outside only. Grab a seat or take it with you to go.

There are a few donut places in Northern Virginia and D.C. that do the "unique topping" thing (maple bacon, peanut butter and jelly, pecan pie, etc.) but I don't think any do it better than Astro. I've tried at least a dozen of their flavors and never been disappointed! Their creme brûlée donut may be the best donut I've ever tried. That donut in particular is not the best for a breakfast but it makes an incredible dessert! I also want to say that these donuts are the more fluffy type of donut as opposed to the cake style of donut. Also, this is a great location if you are a tourist visiting D.C. short walking distance to the Mall and the White House.
First of walked the block couldn’t find the place is inside of Astro chicken and donuts in case you’re wondering get in and tell me there’s pick up orders and a bar that you can order from placed the order young lady informs me they don’t take Apple Pay what a waste of the lunch hour will not be returning did not place an order …absurd!

Placed an order online, I received order confirmation, but when I contacted them, they had no order in the system. Do not order through Google.

I have been ordering from Satellite sandwiches for a while now. But the last few times have been very disappointing. For the Smash burger they say you can build your own and they charge you for the condiments but don't include what you actually paid for. This most recent visit I ordered a a smash burger with caramelized onions, dill pickles, comeback sauce and bid lettuce and ended up getting a Philly cheesesteak with half the condiments missing! Went back to show them that was not my order and they said it would be another 20 minutes and when I asked for a refund they said I would need to go through Grubhub for the refund. I left upset, empty and hungry! They need to do better

Seating was odd…only outside. Next door at the bar was open for seating. Chicken was great. We ordered a family pack and it was enough food for 5 of us. No plates or napkins were provided.

I am so sick of places calling themselves cheesesteak purveyors when they're anything but. This isn't a cheesesteak. It's a steak sandwich with cheese on it. And that isn't even close to the same thing. Unreal.
