Foster Freeze No 186

Been here twice and the first time service wasn’t great but it wasn’t incredibly bad. The second time I went I ordered a dipped vanilla cone and was handed an regular vanilla cone and when I said «oh I thought I said dipped?» She just kind of laughed and said «no, you didn’t». I was really shocked at how she responded and I don’t like to complain so I said ok and started to drive. My husband who was sitting right next to me said «no you did order it dipped loud and clear». So not only did I get a regular cone I also got a half broken off one at that! I honestly thought it was my mistake because of how she acted. I definitely won’t be back just based on service alone. Hopefully they fix that so maybe they won’t lose business over something stupid like a bad employee.

Sally I give it to Slava rating due to all the menu items on the menu do not have the price I like to know how much the food is before I order it couple times I have asked to know the price the person was super rude and waiting time is terrible that’s why I gave it one of the lowest ratings I didn’t have ever given if Iif I could give it ¹⁄₅ of a star I would does how sad this company is hope this was not too hard I know some people are going disagree with me but this is my honest opinion

Do they really let employees like that work there what a disgrace please fire all long term employees, and give those jobs to people who will at least greet you with a smile and respect!

I can’t believe the service at this place… before this visit I could never say I’ve had a bad experience at any Foster Freeze and I used to live with one around the corner from my house in Tracy, CA witch is still there by the way! (Delicious Foster Freeze in Tracy, CA) my experience today… I’ve been waiting for 30mins for my order witch was 2 #5 krispy chicken sandwich with fries and a drink and 2 dip cones. After the wait I get in my car with the food. The ice cream machine must have not been in good working conditions cause the dipped cone was placed in a cup already melted. The fries where unsalted and soggy. To top that off the HAMBURGER was cold! I must say I will not be eating here again or at least when I see them three women in there.

Love the Zucchini here and it goes great with a cheeseburger!!! Thank you Fosters Freeze ;-)

Food is good standard drive in food. The patty melt was just on the OK side. The chicken strips are good here just make sure you get the house sauce.
The service gets this place a 2 and not a 5. I ordered dinner for my family of four and when I got home I found they didn’t give me my order of onion rings. I called in and they promised to put my name on a board with my item and they would replace it next time I went there. Fast forward 5 – 6 weeks. I go there and order lunch and tell the lady about my onion rings that should be on the board. She tells me they throw away the names «after so long» and they won’t replace it. I think that is crap. If you say you are going to honor your mistake, you should.
You should mail the customer a voucher if you aren’t going to hold up your end of the deal. look I’m not complaining about cold food, I’m complaining about something I paid for and did not get

In the summer, my daughter and I love to ride our bikes down to Foster’s for tacos and chocolate chip shakes! It’s definitely one of our favorite spots to eat!

Decent food and ice cream, bad customer service. We got there at 9:30 pm, and there were a two cars in front of us. We didn’t order until 9:45, and didn’t get our stuff until 9:55. It’d be smarter if they let people order then have them pull up, so multiple orders can be cooked at once.
Also, they forgot to hand me a cone. They ran it out, but I’m glad I stopped to check if anything was missing.

The Good:
— Ice Cream with Snickers.
The Bad:
— $ 1.50 ATM charge that was not even told to me.
— Expensive burgers
— Greasy Burgers
— Ghetto, cheap quality crinkle cut fries.
— Rude Staff. They will look at you like you made them put in the app to work there and treat you like your responsible for their pay.
I don’t go anymore.

Big Boss Burger, crinkle fries and a large Dr. pepper… So damn good! I used to go to Fosters Freeze every time I could after school back at my home town. They closed down and were replaced by a so so bbq joint. Very disappointed. But then I move to Lodi and find out that Fosters is here also! Needless to say. Can’t wait for another one of them Big Boss burgers! Oh and a vanilla cone dipped! Mmmmm!

Foster Freeze is the epitome of that one super old fashioned 1950’s style fast food joint that every little town has… Lodi is no exception. I probably come here 10 times a year but only for the dip cone. Their soft serve is yummy and the cones make me feel like a kid again.
Over the years I have sampled many items from their menu but the food is not a reason to come. It is that stereotypical greasy junk that places like this serve.
People’s comments about the customer service are correct. I have never had a frienly, or even polite cashier for that matter. They all look miserable and like they hate their job.
They charge me an extra 25 cents every time I use my credit card which is annoying but not enough to prevent me from getting my soft serve every few months.

I’ve been here multiple times in the last two months. I only order vanilla dipped cones. The soft serve is delicious and has a taste no one in this area can match or exceed in my opinion, for this I give them a star.
Since the kitchen and most of the prep areas are out of sight it is hard to qualitatively judge the cleanliness of the establishment, but from the look of it I’d give them a star.
Now for the bad.
The last time I went to this establishment I ordered a small and large vanilla dipped cone. The small cone was not dipped to the rim of the cone and started melting from the bottom and made a mess. We then waited 2 minutes for the large. We asked for a cup to put the small cone in to prevent the mess from getting worse and the lady barked at us rudely «10 cents for cups», that was all she said and it was in a please leave your annoying me voice.
As much as I love the dipped cone here I can take my business elsewhere.
TL:DR;
Rude, impolite, inconsiderate staff member made a great place for desert a rude abrasive and unpleasant experience.

I love this place!!! After coming here the first time, I have not stopped thinking about this place. Not only are there a variety of ice cream choices, but it’s decently priced as well. The first time I came here I ordered the marbled caramel froster. It was amazing! The caramel was so tasty. Not too sweet. The second time I ordered the half vanilla, half chocolate soft serve on a cone. Luckily I ordered the small because even that was huge — coming from a person who never says no to dessert. However, I would say that vanilla tastes better than chocolate and that means a lot when its coming from someone who loves chocolate. Overall, I will definitely come back for the soft serve ice cream. Maybe I will even try the foods!

I wish I would have read the other reviews first. It took 30 minutes to get 2 small vanilla dipped ice cream cones… then when the lady called them out multiple people went to the window to get them because apparently the don’t give out numbers or anything to keep track.

Negative 5 stars in my book. My girlfriend went to drink here cherry coke she got and she couldn’t seem to get a drink because something kept getting stuck on the bottom of the straw. Upon inspection we found a plastic bag shoved in the bottom of the drink. So wrong and disgusting.

I came here a couple days ago and was waiting to get something when someone who walked up after me (knew the girl inside) got to order first. All I wanted was a simple ice cream which they have high priced anyway. I’m not going to be treated like that and pay a bunch of money for an ice cram cone. I wont come here again.

I’ve been here a few times, but the only thing I’ve ever ordered is the chocolate dipped vanilla ice cream cone, and it is always a tasty treat! One of these times I will try the food. I will expand my review when that day comes.

The only reason I come to this place is for ice cream. Although this place is definitely not what it used to be.
The service here is AWFUL! Don’t even think about hitting the drive-​thru unless you like waiting for 30 minutes. And that is no exaggeration, 30 minutes is about right. Also, the staff is unfriendly and slow.
Also, if you plan on using debit, be aware that they charge an additional fee.

The food and ice cream is good.
The service is HORRIBLE!
I have been there multiple times, and each time, the service is awful.
Last night, it tood about 20 minutes to get a milkshake, a freeze, and fries.
They were super rude the entire time.
When I got home with the stuff, we found no straws, no spoons, no napkins.
And this was AFTER I asked for extra napkins!!!
Every single time I go there, I have very similar service.

Visiting Foster Freeze is like taking a little walk down memory lane. Not much has changed over the (many) years they’ve been open. If you’re looking for classic, greasy drive-​in style food, FF does not disappoint. They don’t have a drive-​thru so plan to park, order at the walk-​up counter, and wait at one of the near by tables for you food.
They have really delicious fries, yummy grilled cheese, and delicious vanilla cokes. The grilled cheese is served on Texas toast, so picture a crisp buttery crust on the bread and warm, gooey cheddar cheese. Yes please!
I love a good drive-​in style flavored soda. My favorite is diet coke with vanilla syrup, served with extra ice (they have the best fluffy ice). Mmm, perfection.
The real star of the show is the classic dipped cone! I prefer mine with vanilla soft-​serve but you can get chocolate soft-​serve or choc/​vanilla swirl. The cone comes in small and large (the small is pretty big). If it’s a hot day, good luck finishing a large dipped cone before it melts all over the place. No amount of tiny little napkins can help that mess. Back to the cone…
Creamy soft serve dipped in a hard chocolate shell. The ice cream is already soft and the dipping chocolate is warm, so expect a fast melting cone. Consider this your warning: DO NOT sit in your car on a warm or hot day and try to eat your cone. You will have ice cream all over! If you haven’t yet had a chocolate dipped cone, it is a must try!
