For sandwich orders, diners can choose from fried chicken, fried chicken with hot sauce and honey butter, fried chicken with sausage gravy, fried chicken with bacon, lettuce and tomato or topped with a fried egg.  Bun choices include a savory doughnut, potato roll, cheddar biscuit, or Old Bay doughnut.  Sauces include blue cheese, honey mustard, sriracha mayo, sriracha buffalo, ranch, and BBQ.  Sides include kimchi cole slaw, tater tots, and a cheddar biscuit.

Daily doughnuts include vanilla glazed, maple bacon, peanut butter and jelly, and crème brulee. Seasonal flavors include, among others, chocolate caramel macchiato, peach melba, blackberry lime tart and passion fruit Boston crème pie. 

Astro Doughnuts and Fried Chicken also serves a variety of coffee drinks from La Colombe.
