WOW FACTOR? Yes. It is a clean, attractive restaurant. HAVE AGAIN: Chocolate shake is ok, but needs more chocolate syrup. read more

The customer service was fine. The serve time was expeditious. The restaurant was clean and the Sundays were good. The chocolate sauce used was a tad bit watery, consistent wise, from what I'm used to my Sundays being topped with, But the chocolatey flavor was still there. I know it's a bit of a watered down complaint (no pun intended) that's why I feel it didn't warrant the removal of a star for this review. I also know how somewhat overly critical I can be about how my Sundays are made. One other thing I liked was the Bogo special they had going on with certain menu items, one of which being their Sundays. so the fact that I was able to get two for the price of one, definitely put a smile on my face. read more

I was in Barstow for the very first time a few weeks ago and it was a pretty interesting experience. I was under the impression Barstow was a small city but in actuality it's kind of a ghost town. We headed downtown in hopes of getting some food but the abandon buildings and empty parking lots told us hitting a drive through would be the best bet so we are very lucky to come across Fosters Freeze! This place looked straight out of the eighties and even though I've been to California many times, I don't think I've ever noticed this chain until now, so I was happy to check this place out! I ended up ordering the cheeseburger melt combo meal with french fries and the price was pretty similar to most other fast food places. We placed our order and pulled up to the window where we did sit for roughly five minutes, so I'm assuming food is made fresh here and that's something I can appreciate. The food itself was pretty darn good too! The cheeseburger melt was pretty large, flavourful, and tasted really good. The french fries were something you would expect from a small time burger place and let me tell you, they were really good. Overall, Fosters Freeze is a solid place to come for lunch, and definitely a good place to get food in Barstow. Was the place new and updated? no, but who cares? The food was good and it's definitely a golden star in what Downtown Barstow is these days, so if you want some food, come and grab a burger! read more

We were safe after having our tire blowout on the freeway. We found a shop that had tires for our car- they recommended a bigger tire, so we went with them. It would be some time, so we came here to eat. We had other options like a mexican restaurant, but I liked that this was down the block from the tire shop. We each had a sandwich. I had the CA Grilled Chicken, hubby and son had a burger. We split the fries. It was $24.32. We ate inside. I enjoyed it. Hubby and I split the burger and the chicken sandwich. If it isn't over greasy, then it's good for me (ever since I was pregnant, my system doesn't tolerate the greasy stuff). Our son can have regular sized portions now. He loves meat, our little carnivore. The fries were good. There was another party next to us at a table. This was very popular. Lots of people coming inside to order and eat; maybe there were more to-go orders. I think that there is also a drive-thru window. (I didn't think that there was one back home until I checked Yelp, but it's way on the other side of town.) read more

We love tbe drinks & Ice cream here. They have a orange blended I e cream drink that taste like a 20/20 bar! It's amazing. The food is also good and it's a great place to get a hot dog It's always clean and the bathroom has always been clean when I have visited. read more

People are missing out on America's fast foods if they haven't been here. It's a sit-in/dine-in location with outdoor seats/tables too. Cute bar stools with beautiful/cute vibes. Customers enjoying ice cream cones and happy fast foods. No, you don't need to eat junk foods every day or week in your life, but if you're on a road trip around here, this would be a very ideal stop in a great little section of town. Burgers, hot dogs, potato fries, patty melt, burrito, sundaes, milkshakes, etc. Great selections. Felt like eating the old elementary public school lunches again. Yes, high calories that you can burn on the roads. These old school stops are low in prices and are worth it. Interior was well decorated with Route 66 signs and props. Exterior looks decent with lots of parking spots. Drive in area is always packed, but this street is so much better than restaurants near gas stations. It was very decent, organized & had clean gender neutral restrooms. Good customer service and great management. Near old railroads and bridge paths. Not far from traditional Route 66 Mother Road museum site. It's a very happy American food place. We'll likely be back in another week or two while passing through again. Love it! read more

You know sisters freeze is good it it used to be The burgers abd sandwiches have lost some charm because they put too much salt on them The worst of it is the fries Theyvrsstr fishy Like bad fish Lately they've offered specials so that's attractive but the price of ice cos obscene Worse yet,there's not much in it ATheu already use soft serve that's full of air so a parfet for more than $7 is offensive athe portion is about the same as a cone The milk shakes are ordinary The help is uneven Am older lady works the drive thru during the day shift and she has the job down to a science unfortunately , when the youngsters work it's usually a long wait . You know they're shooting the breeze and the drive thru is backing up I iPads there often and see cars waiting But that's kids and I was one myself clean the fryer oil That's my main beef along with salting my HBP read more

This is a 5-star, small town, fast food joint. The food is well prepared and fresh. The venue is quite clean; a marvel since it is frequented by kids after sports events. The employees are great and take pride in a job well done. Today, I am particularly impressed by Destiny, Matt, Chris,and Anthony. Matt, especially, seems super focused on making flavorful food. He impresses. This go-round, I wish to sing the praises of the oft-ignored hot dog. I am a fan of these creations and Foster's does it right. A toasted bun which Nestle's a perfectly grilled dog, covered in a pile of grilled onions and condiments... Yummy! The espresso freeze is a must have. Forget the $7 milkshake at Starbucks: this is the real thing and, no true comparison. Anyone driving thru Barstow: this place is worth the few minute detour from the freeway. Locals: don't forget that we have a few gems in a sea of sameness. read more

Normally, I can always expect to get a decent meal from here. But todays switch up from my normal order was quite disappointing. Whosever idea it is to place the French fries inside the container for chicken strips needs to stop! What I ended up with was soggy fries that tasted undercooked. My chicken strips look like someone sampled them, and were tiny. For $9.34 I say don't order this meal you will be disappointed! read more

Today I stopped at Foster Freeze for lunch and I had the best lunch ever especially in Barstow California. The fries were cooked and seasoned to perfection. I am not exaggerating when I say that the fries were the best fries I have ever had in my whole life. The service was impeccable. Foster Freeze has truly done an exceptional job today and I appreciate it very much read more

I just had the best grilled cheese ever!!! And the service was great. I got my stuff really quickly too.

Best ice cream in Barstow! If you are visiting Route 66 then you MUST try this place on your way read more

Love this place, it's a must visit if you are in Barstow, their cone ice cream is delicious

Good food fora drive in. I hear it is closing and Starbucks will replace it. Sad times

Awesome Menu Selection Family Friendly Atmosphere -- lots of smiles & warm greetings from Staff You are allowed to order food the way you like it without any hassles or added cost Very Clean Restaurant Tasty Food Large Portions Great & Reasonable Prices We ordered takeout & the food was exactly how we wanted it -- still hot when I arrived home. I ordered a turkey burger with swiss cheese, extra lettuce, extra onions, extra pickles, extra tomatoes with ranch -- no bun -- they made me a healthy alternative. My Bride ordered a grilled cheese sandwich & mozzarella sticks with ranch. Too much food for her to eat. The mozzarella sticks even taste great warmed up later. We will definitely be back. Thank You God Bless Stay Safe read more

I've been a fan of FF for 4 decades the ice cream is never less than excellent. The food is standard American fare. It's nothing special but it fills you up if you're hungry read more

Wow! What a nice little hidden gem in the desert! I was nearby and searched for ice cream and fries... and I ended up here. Had never heard of them, but so glad I gave them a try! I got the chocolate shake for me and a banana shake for my little guy. He totally deserved it after getting blood drawn and not even crying! Since I was there, I tried the burger and gave (most of) the fries to my little one. He loved them. They're the thicker fries that I prefer also. The burger was good and had a just grilled taste, but it was pretty messy and squished. Lol I'm just being picky about appearance, but it tasted good - not like a frozen burger. I'll definitely try a bigger burger next time! Best part was that the meal didn't break the bank! Great prices for a quick burger meal!! I'm definitely going back and taking the whole family!

Best dessert place in barstow. They have it all when it comes to ice cream. Shakes, blends, cones and all. Drive thru is very busy. It is faster indoors. read more

I was looking for nearby places to eat, and the reviews were good, so I figured why not. I will say this the young lady working the register was extremely kind and very helpful, being it was my first time. I went with their Old Fashioned burger combo; it came with fries and a drink. I was looking for a smaller burger, so if you are hungry, it's not the burger for you. Overall it must be a local favorite, and I get that there is a place in my hometown I love, but I know many who don't like it. For me, the burger was bland; however, the crinkle-cut fries I will write home about. They were good and salted just right. They sell Pepsi here, so that's what I had. Not a fan; I saw the reviews talked a lot about their ice cream, etc. So I asked, "What do you sell the most of"? She replied, "shakes," so she chose one for me, and it was banana caramel. I will say it's delicious, so the burger didn't make the cut. Customer service did, as did the fries and shake. I'm giving it four stars. I'd go back for these three things. read more

This place is classic. I love a great throwback to my childhood and this nails it. We stopped by for dessert but all of the food that we saw tolling through there looked fantastic as well. There's a very classic, old-timey feel to the place and all the shakes and frozen drinks were delicious. read more

Just passing through for work .. The original Del taco had recent health code violations so I decided to come here. Really nice clean patio to stretch out your legs and eat. Great customer service. I was asked about 3x if I was ready to order. Remarkable clean bathroom! Mainly a review about the location amenities. See picture for food review. I would probably come for just desert next time. read more

If youre looking for a road trip stop, I wouldn't choose this again. Drive through was slow. Food was edible, but $26 for a rubbery hot dog, a chicken sandwich that also tasted like a hot dog, an adequate burger, and some fries. Would've been more satisfied just going to McDonald's read more

I had no idea what to expect when I came here. It was a pleasant surprise when we walked in as it has a 50's diner feel. My son loved the cars and juke box on display. Staff was very friendly and the burgers and fries were amazing. My daughter had Sierra Mist and my son and I got Pepsi that's the only thing I would say we did not enjoy because there was an awful taste in all three drinks. Otherwise, it was an enjoyable experience. read more

If you go to Fosters Freeze you know what you're getting. This is burger food and excellent shakes.

Food made fresh when you order, and always taste so good, don't forget to get a ever so yummy shake. Best ice cream around

Must stop if coming back from Las Vegas! Make sure to get off the 15 south onto 58 west to skip some traffic and give this small chain business some love! Friendly staff working on Easter Sunday hope they get paid extra today! read more

Took a break from our extremely long drive to treat ourselves to some good old-fashioned Fosters Freeze. What a major disappointment! The Orange Freeze was more liquid than freeze & did not taste like other ones from the other Fosters Freeze locations I've been to. The Caramel Ice Coffee Cold Brew tasted like half cup water, half cup milk over ice. Definitely NOT good. That was thrown out immediately. The Classic Burger - let's just saw if a hamburger could sweat, this is what it would taste like. Immediate sourness & sogginess. We won't be coming back to this one. read more

Called first before going to verify they had something dairy free for my son. Very friendly on the phone. Once I arrived in person the person who I talked to on the phone was the same in person. Very friendly and great customer service experience for me and my family. read more

First time eating here, this is at the Barstow location. Service from a nice young lady was great in the drive-thru. So nice to have these days. Read reviews on yelp about this place having the best ice cream, so I decided to try it. Hands down the best mud pie concoction (sorry I forgot what it's actually called) I've ever had. The fries were a little salty for me in general, but not in an added salt way. The burger was not really hot, but I haven't had a hot burger from anywhere in the past year, so not truly disappointed. I would return to try more ice flavors for sure!! read more

Stopped here because I wanted an ice cream. I got a small banana shake. It takes a bit of time to get your order but it was worth the wait. This shake tastes like homemade ice cream with a blended banana. Though to drink through the straw because it's thick ice cream. Let it melt a bit and then enjoy. read more
