I wanted to check out this restaurant because I’ve had good reviews and I have lived in Dayton for a while now I knew it was a signature restaurant. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. The lighting in the restaurant is low in the top section where we sat, which I thought was weird . The restaurant doesn’t have a good ventilation system. I left the restaurant and my clothes and body smell of fried chicken. Food was decent. Fried pickles were over seasoned and just tasted like fried bread crisps. The food took a while to come and fries were extremely burnt, but the waitress did give us some more for free.

Garret greeted us and first asked if anyone had food allergies. The food was amazing and Garret explained the menu and protocols to me. I met the owner, Shane whom was very welcoming and understood Celiac Disease. 10/10 recommend!

Three hour drive totally worth it EVERY time!! Not been disappointed in anything. BEST CHICKEN EVER! And, it’s gluten free, for a celiac that went 15 years without fried chicken, it’s a blessing!!!!!

Best fried chicken I've ever had. The chicken looked like the chicken from Breaking Bad which I found really funny 🤣. My only complaint is the lack of Dr. Pepper and other sodas but other than that I have no other complaints! Great time will 100% come back

My girlfriend is gluten free and loved their food!
Wish there was a way to give 6/5 stars. From the very second we opened the door we were impressed with the kindness of the staff. My wife and I were having some challenges getting in the door with our stroller and Garrett immediately stopped to help us out. Thank you so much Garrett - you are awesome! Things just kept getting better from there. We ordered two 3 piece tender meals with fries and a drink and were blown away. We have no gluten allergies and didn’t notice any difference whatsoever in the taste or quality of the food. In fact the quality is superior to essentially any other fried chicken restaurant: crispy, well seasoned, large tenders with crispy crinkle cut fries (no flop) and amazing galactic sauce! Pickles and slaw were great also. Throughout dining we were checked on multiple times and received stellar service. Staff is so friendly! Prices were extremely reasonable for the portions and quality. My family will be regulars and are already looking forward to our next visit (next week)!

I've lived in dayton for almost 20 years, been going there most that time, and never received food this bad. It was only beef fried rice , took 10 minutes max to make. Its 5 minutes away. And it's was cold as ice. All prepared food has a 4 hour shelf life. It had no flavor, very little meat and way too many bamboo shoots. It was a large. Very disappointed and with my bad stomach, I hope I don't get sick. Was not the usual people working either. 1/24/25

Galactic Fried Chicken in Dayton, KY, is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a fun, retro sci-fi atmosphere that makes dining here a unique experience. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring you feel welcome from start to finish.
Now, the food—WOW. The fried chicken is out of this world! Perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside. Whether you go for the classic Galactic style or spice it up with their signature sauces, you can’t go wrong. The sides are just as amazing— the fries are crispy perfection.
Everything is made fresh, and you can taste the quality in every bite. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Galactic Fried Chicken is a must-visit. Highly recommend for amazing food, great service, and a cool vibe!
