The staff were very friendly and kind. Food came out hot fresh and delicious. Some fantastic chicken in the greater Cincinnati area. Would definitely come back again. Loved the devil eggs as an appetizer, and the loaded fries were spot on. The homemade pickles were a hit with me as well. Can’t wait to bring the wife.

I am gluten sensitive. 98% of food seved is gluten-free. The wraps, Texas toast and malt vinegar have gluten. It was busy, great service, care for keeping gluten-free from gluten. Loved the chicken tenders and fried pickles!

Just tried to place a 200$ order for fried chicken to be picked up for lunch…they were not interested in even taking an order since they said they were running around trying to get their store open. Could have said call back? I’ve been working in restaurants for 30 years…I would think you would be in business to make money. I’ll go somewhere else.
First time visit and was not disappointed. As the name implies, this is a chicken menu with a variety of sides. Nothing too fancy, just good tasting food. Tenders, breast, wings, and drumsticks on the menu. This is a hands-on experience to eating your chicken so be prepared to dig in and get a little messy. The chicken breast and wing I had was hot, moist and flavorful, but definitely not greasy. The skin had just the right amount of crunch. The menu pricing is reasonable. Pepsi products and a limited selection of alcohol.
There is dine-in availability, just not a lot of space. I'd say about 10 tables for 4 people/table. Also limited counter seats. Depending upon the time of day and the number of people in your party you may have to wait. There is an outdoor patio with some limited picnic table seating that looks to be open in good weather (we visited in December, and the area was closed.) So grab a seat when you come in and then go up and order at the counter. Galactic does a lot of carryout and on-line order/pickup. While ordering at the counter is rather easy, food prep does compete with all of the orders that come in. And with the chicken fried as ordered there is a little bit of a wait to get your food, though I didn't think it was unreasonable. The server did apologize for the wait, but considering how Galactic works it was not a bad wait. Just plan accordingly if you are dining in and have post dinner plans. The staff at Galactic were friendly to us and seemed to acknowledge all customers entering and leaving.
There is a public parking lot a block away from Galactic and some street parking. Unless it's really busy you should be able to park nearby. Just a good fit to the neighborhood and a neat little vibe to this restaurant.
In response to GFC, it was just 2 of us when we visited and had no problem finding a table. Just pointing size out for others in case they do have a larger group.

Phenomenal fried chicken. Two of my family are gluten intolerant so it has been years since they had fried chicken and pickles. Both are excellent here and better than some full gluten recipes I’ve had. Super friendly staff, prompt service. Do yourself a huge favor and stop by the next time you are in the Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati area.
Delicious. And gliten free!! I love the space themed decor. Always friendly and the food is so fresh.
Absolutely love this little place! I have celiac disease so its not often i enjoy eating out. I drive 40 min every week to eat lunch! The chicken tenders with spice rub are hands down the best tenders in the tri state! I LOVE the spice rub! and the fries are so great. I have to say the entire staff is INCREDIBLE!! So friendly, so welcoming and just awesome
Food was excellent quality, but a bit weird for my taste. The breading is gritty (corn meal?) and has a spice that was a little much (I think celery salt maybe, of all things?). Staff were fantastic though! Loved the sauce situation.

This place is so legit. The fried chicken is some of the best I’ve had at any restaurant. It’s hot, fresh (made to order), juicy, and perfectly seasoned. Fries are great, slaw is great, pickles are great, and the galactic sauce is spectacular. I’m not even trying to hype it up, it really is just that good. We’ll definitely be back.
Bonus: the staff are awesome. Everyone was friendly, had a smile, and checked on us multiple times. Very hospitable. Great team over there.

Absolutely fantastic fried chicken whether you’re gluten free or not! We made the trip from Lexington with some family and I would do it every dadgum day if I could. Our whole crew loved the food, and I’m the only gluten free eater! From dark meat to nuggets to fried pickles, the whole experience was great. Including the amazing, friendly, patient staff! And this Gen X-er loved the decor, especially The Dude on the bathroom door. 🤌 Thank you all, see you soon!
The fried chicken here is amazing, being gluten-free is just a bonus. Excellent fried pickles and the best french fries I've had in 30+ years. I live an hour away and the meal was worth every minute of the drive there and back. Everyone there was an absolute delight. Will return often.

Should have taken pictures but we ate too fast.
Gary answered all of our questions and took out order. The food was very tasty and gluten free!!!!! The music was good and not too loud, the service was top notch and the food was wonderful. If we lived closer this would absolutely be a regular spot for us, but we're visiting from out of state.

Went on a recommendation from a friend. It delivered! Best fried chicken ever. And, very nice, friendly staff. GO!
Was really excited to be back in CInci and give this place a try again. And unfortunately prices have gone up and in the end its just chicken. Was it good Yes. Was it expensive YES. Unfortunately the price just doesnt match quantity nor quality. But the one thing i will say staff are amazing!
