Fosters Freeze

If you want a good thick chill bowl come here also if you want to wait 30 mins for a drive through meal come here. This place is ridiculous I dont know how these works are still working here.

This place is ran by teens and some early twenty-​somethings. They were quick with our food and our twisters soon before we had left. Hefty servings of their fries and still piping hot when we got it. I would come back for sure.

We used to go here with grandma all the time, and a chocolate dipped twist cone was always the favorite. The ice cream here is still great and their fries and onion rings are good too. Pure nostalgia.

I wish I could give ZERO STARS.
My father and I used the drive-​thru at this location earlier today and we could not believe the lack of manners, customer service, and common sense at this place.
Keep in mind we were the only people in the drive thru at the time. While ordering 2 chili dogs they asked my father to repeat himself 4 separate times because he was asking for a larger sized chili dog. Finally they rudely said they don’t sell them there so we changed our order to 4 regular chili dogs (we didn’t even mind). My fam just really likes chili dogs… Still asking us to repeat ourselves my father asked her if it would help any if he drove up to the window to order and she finally replied with «no I got it». (My father is a senior citizen and sometimes has a little difficulty hearing and ordering but he is always so sweet about coming to the window to make it easier for cashiers)
Maybe she was having a bad day? Was that a good excuse to treat us like trash– definitely not.
So we pull up to the window and theres a whole group of young girls inside the window area laughing and chitchatting inside and barely even acknowledging that they are in a work setting with customers around. Finally one sees us and my dad asked if she could repeat the order back to us, it was wrong so we asked if she could add an extra chili dog to fix the order. she does and our total comes out to around 23 dollars so we pay. Then we sat there and waited for our chili dogs that it took us 20 minutes to order!
Heres where the magic happened! The same girl comes back to the window with a ridiculous little smirk on her face and says «I’m sorry we just noticed were all out of hotdog buns! but we can run to the store and get some right now if you want to wait here or I can just refund you your money.»
So we took our refund in cash, even though we payed with a credit card which also made absolutely no sense. At this point we were both just in so much shock at what happened that we were just ready to leave and stop wasting anymore time at that ridiculous excuse for a business. I hope if you’re reading this you avoid this place at all costs they have absolutely no respect for their elderly customers!
We will never return to this location again.

I will not go here anymore. The employees have friends and/​or family behind the counter just hanging out. I even seen one of them eat right out of the holding bin where the fries sit. My onion rings were not cooked properly and were doughy. Too bad. Will drive to Clovis from now on.

We don’t go out a lot but when we do we have high expectations for great service no matter fast food, buffet, fine dining.
When you have someone in front of you in the drive thru holding up the line SEND THEM TO THE FRONT TO WAIT and let the other customers get their order and leave.
I left the car to go inside and inquire about our order. Our order was ready. My husband was still waiting behind the other car.
Thank you for not charging us.
When we got home and tried twisters for the FIRST TIME…
My twister was yummy
My husband’s was not made correctly
This was our first experience at Foster’s
Customer consideration needs a little more work.
Look at sonic, mcdonalds and other restaurants that have a solution for getting orders to customers and being proactive.

Flash!
Anyone familiar with Chuckwagon in Sanger? Famous Chili Dog place?
Save the drive and try a chili dog at Fosters on Shaw/​Armstrong.
They are standard size dogs. (boo)
But the dog is correctly grilled.
the Chili is awesome, deep, flavorful. Can’t be canned, can it?
Very «Chuckwagony» Very Coney Island Downtown Fresno-​ey.
Meaning just enough grease so when you eat it, it leaves tell-​tale red deposits in the corners of your mouth. (that’s a good thing)
I order mustard and onions too. real red onions and a squirt of mustard.
maybe a little high, 3bucks? but so worth it. LOADED with chili.
ask for a fork and extra napkins.
two is enough.
today I tried 3.
I think I hurt my gizzard.
don’t leave the empty bag in the car all day. the fumes have to be bad for the upholstery.
Go try one, see if I’m wrong.

This Fosters is run by teenagers, who, would rather be anywhere but work. Same great food and fattening sweets, just not quite service with a smile.

This review is based off of two visits. The first one, almost a year ago was disgusting to say the least. We went through the drive-​thru (incredibly slow), and ordered two burgers, fries and shakes. Munched on the fries in the car on the way home and they tasted decent. Got home and took the food out of the bag and… what the fuck is that?! In the bottom of the fry container we had been munching on was an obviously deep-​fried nest of hair and dirt. I about threw up in my mouth…
Called to complain and they offered for us to come back and get a new meal (what is it with fast food managers thinking everyone has an endless supply of gas in their cars?), but when we said we couldn’t, he offered us a free meal the next visit. I argued about how we had paid more than $ 20 and didn’t want to eat ANYTHING out of that bag, he agreed to mail out vouchers worth our receipt. To his credit, he was extremely apologetic and made good on the vouchers (they arrived the next day), but we were apprehensive about using them.
Fast-​forward to last week, and we were willing to go back and try it again. Ordered pretty much the same thing with some extra fries for the kiddies, and waited until we got home before eating out of the bag. Well… no rat’s nest of fried hair this time, but they got our order completely wrong. Only one order of fries when we ordered two, missing a cheeseburger (though we somehow ended up with two grilled cheese in it’s place…), my unsweetened tea was sweetened and missing the corn dog we ordered for my son.
I’m not even bothering to call them at this point because it’s obvious that their store is manned by complete idiots, and frankly, I’m kind of pissed off that the employees at that store are collecting a paycheck when so many competent people are struggling to find employment right now. Everything from their appearance (the lady at the drive-​thru window REEKED of cigarettes and no hairnet), their timing (20 minutes for two burgers and fries? Really?) their cleanliness (just read my first paragraph) and finally, their competence. Never again.

I’ve enjoyed fosters since I used to come here for lunch as a senior at CHS back in 94.
The food is what you would expect for fast food type joint.
My biggest issue is with how dirty the kitchen looks and unprofessionalism of the staff.
The kitchen area always has a ton of food on the ground. This location is usually staffed very well they never seem to be very busy so I’ve never understood why it’s always so dirty.
The staff has never shown an ounce of urgency. They act like they are just hanging out at a buddies house.
Foster’s could be so much more with a little direct supervision and some customer service training.

Dry hamburger because it was overcooked.

Good shakes but very slow service

It’s SLOW here. CRAZY S-​L-​O-​W. It doesn’t matter if you are in the drive thru or walk in, you will be waiting longer than ‘fast food’ normal for an ice cream.
However, the burgers are pretty yummy. I like the shredded lettuce in the burgers, and the vanilla ice cream cones.

Perfect ice cream. We need more places like this. Wish we had one of these at fashion fair mall. i can’t wait to have another ice-​cream treat from here

food is decent. service is ok. my main gripe is that they look and work so unprofessionally. extra large greasy untucked polo shirt isn’t what someone wants to look at when theyre ordering food. There was what i think was the manager barking orders at all the others. That’s fine, just don’t yell loud enough that i can hear you across the room, and if youre goign to be loud dont degrade them and confuse them in front of everyone.
overall, i eat here maybe 2 times a year. a good old fashioned burger

Service is cool at this place. They’re kind of unprofessional, but very personable. My mom makes me get her a sundae all the time here. I think this place brings me back to when we were younger because my grandma had a Foster Freeze right by her house and I remember always walking here with my uncle to get ice cream. Oh I love that they have $ 1 scoops on Wednesday.

Great burgers, great ice cream, and great service. Did I mention great ice cream. Burgers are flame broiled. Ice cream is soft serve. Try the twisters they’re awesome. Milkshakes are made fresh with real strawberries and bananas. You’ve gotta try it.
