Served until 11 a.m. during the week and 3 p.m. on weekends, Astro’s breakfast consists of egg or fried chicken sandwiches served on potato rolls, savory doughnuts and now biscuits. The fried chicken breakfast option can be dressed up with hot sauce and honey butter, sausage gravy or one of five other sauces.

Bonus: two calzones and a smoked salmon “pocket” are also available.
