I love these guys. Thanks Fosters for being our go to for burgers American Food. Cool read more

This place has been around for along time and I love supporting local businesses. The staff is really friendly, the food is cooked fresh. There is a little wait time but it's worth it for the freshness. The shakes are delicious. 3 western burgers fries and a shake was about 30+ dollars. read more

So I went for a drive with my Mom in the Santa Cruz Mountains yesterday on a bright, glorious, and gorgeous Spring afernoon. The mountains were especially beautiful because it looks like we got enough rain this year for everything to be lush and verdant, and all around us we could see how beautiful this part of CA truly is when we have enough rainfall. Right after church and before we embarked on our little trek, I told my Mom I wanted to go to Foster's Freeze for one of their great ice cream cones as soon as we hit the valley floor again so that was the plan. So we drove in the mountains in no real direction until my Mom said she wanted to go to Boulder Creek so we went there. We passed through the town, went to a few stores and were on our way out until saw this Foster's Freeze on the side of the road!!! I mean, what luck! So we each got a Medium dipped Vanilla cone and savored the goodness in our car until it was time to leave and go home. What an awesome spectacle to have this great little restaurant smack dab in the middle of nowhere! Oh, and this place sees TRAFFIC. IT seems like everybody in Boudler Creek eats here cos there were people ordering there left and right! read more

Great ice cream, acceptably junky fast food. It's not my favorite burger around but it's still a pretty good deal. Big parking lot, although since it's outside you'll frequently see people ignoring covid safety protocol while they wait for their orders. Get the Reese's twister and some onion rings. You won't regret it! read more

Great fresh food. Really good. You get an ample amount of food for the cost and nothing's better than a hot burger or shake sitting under the Redwoods. read more

Old fashioned goodness From hamburgers to fried chicken sandwiches dip cones and shakes quick and delicious .

So I have Celiac disease and do not eat out. But, my 3 dogs love sn occasional ice cream cone. So I come here and they make the soft serve cone sooooo big it barely fits in cone. My 3 dogs take turns eating it and quite enjoy the service. I also meet friends here and im blown away by the amount of fries you get when ordering. It's awesome. Also a friend of mine ordered some food and was short 5.00. The older gent covered the difference. Generosity in thar moment with hungry kids, and such was not overlooked. My friend came back a week later with 20 friends (after a game) and they all ordered and tipped him. Very friendly family and staff. Also, ask them about the specials. I guess of you're not Celiac, the specials are the bomb. Great place. 5 paws up. read more

We always stop here for root beer floats, shakes, and burgers. Been coming here for over 30 years now.

Looking for a quick bite? Fosters Freeze is the place to go! Great shakes burgers snd grilled cheese! Of course floats and cones too! Friendly faces will welcome you! Patio seating available too! read more

We love this family owned Foster's freeze. The family that owns and runs it are very kind and accommodating. We stop by often for their banana shake which they make with a whole ripe banana, so good! . I also got the chocolate soft serve. It's always really frozenhard and doesn't melt easily like Burger King or Dairy Queen's does. They give you a huge portion for a medium size cone. It would be considered a large anywhere else. All at very reasonable prices. read more

Fosters Freeze - Great French fries! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boulder Creek, California

One of our town's go-to locations, is happen to be a return customer for their grilled chicken sandwich. Our family prefers their regular fries, and if you're looking for a sweet treat, as for the birthday cake dipped cone. Yum! read more

I'm mortified w/this new management at our hometown Foster Freeze. If the new management is from the same family that has operated this establishment in my hometown, they would be mortified, too! I will take and post picture of my "chili cheese burger", that had a table spoon of chili "sauce" on my burger...does not look anything like the picture that is displayed. You will see a 2 inch circle of chili sauce in the middle of the burger bun..I only ate a sliver portion of it and put it away so I will be able to take a pic of what I'm trying to relay. No heat in the place, you are made to order outside...you have to ask for your condiments...CHEAP...I'm embarrassed, I'm Chinese that have lived in this community for over 30+ years, my mother from from Shanghai would come up and tear them a new AH Hope our tourist do NOT have a horrifying experience like us as locals. photos to follow read more

What can you say? It's Foster Freeze.... Yummy and the staff is always efficient friendly and welcoming!!

Texas Toast Cheezy Burger. Yum. What more can I say? Drive-in vibe nestled deep in the SLV. Friendly owners that always smile when they recognize a regular. Love this place! read more

This place is filthy and the food does not taste good. I only went there because my husband used to eat there as a child in the 60's but the next time he wants to walk down memory lane he will be by himself. read more

Friendly stafff. Great burgers! Great onion rings! Price is good. Never get tired ordering from them.

the best Fosters Freeze ever. They seem to really care and make things fresh. I always stop here!!!

Nice staff and fast service. Ordered a Reese's cup twister coming back from the Big Basin forest. It's an older building right off the highway going through Boulder Creek. The ice cream is always soft and refreshing on a hot day. They do only take cash and that's a bummer because I don't always carry it. read more

Was told to check this place out after we found out the redwood keg deli closes at 5pm, total bummer..... However, this Foster Freeze totally rocked! I used to throw them in the category above fast food but below diner food but this location wow'd me. I ordered the double bacon cheeseburger dry with extra onion, large fry extra crispy, and a medium orange freeze. Everything came just as ordered and was mega delicious! I also have to note how caring and considerate the owner of this establishment is. We were waiting outside for our food and my girlfriend was freezing so I told her I'd wait and she could get back in the warm car. Upon seeing my girlfriend getting into the car the owner flagged me over and had made a hot chocolate just for my girl seeing that she was so cold. Total bonus points! We will be eating plenty of more burgers from Richard's Foster's Freeze when we're up in Boulder that's for sure! read more

Fosters Freeze - Double Bacon Cheeseburger dry with extra onions and large fry extra crispy! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boulder Creek, California

In a world of continuous change, it is comforting to find places in the world where life does not move at the rate we all have grown accustom to these days. Boulder Creek is one of those places on the globe where it kind of feels like time has kind of stood still over the last 30 years or so. In Boulder Creek, Fosters Freeze is a fixture that clearly has not changed much in several decades. Evidently, this business was established in 1957, and it appears that the original furniture and furnishings are still in place. We ordered a couple of burgers, fries, shake, and a glass of water. The service was fantastic, as the folks running the business were super friendly. Frankly, if the food was the only thing being reviewed here, it would only be a 3-star for me. However, because this place is such a blast-from-the-past, it was just so cool to visit this business and eat our lunch there. Please note, they only take cash, so plan accordingly!

We love having them in Boulder Creek. The food is excellent, a great representation of what Fosters Freeze is, and, the prices are competitive in Boulder Creek. Any resident who is a fan of this type of food knows there's one place that's the obvious choice to get it here, and I hope management knows that this is the case. We try of course to tip well when we show up because we appreciate them. read more

My new addiction. Texas Toast BLT. Their fries stay fresh for a while too. Nice staff always. I just wish they were open tuesdays !

Best fish and chips I've ever had in the U.S. Thin crust, not greasy and really delicious served with a generous portion of crinkle fries.

They are always very welcoming; Smiling and saying hello, asking how your day is. They're food tastes delicious as well! They definitely aren't your typical fast food restaurant. It's not your typical Foster Freeze, it's MUCH much better!!! read more

A classic and a staple. Delicious American food run by a kind staff with high integrity.

So classic style fast food restaurant. Ice cream is so good , recommend banana split. read more

Great Food every time I go. Best fry's, burgers and shakes for miles. Owners are always friendly and they wear their masks!

This place is definitely a local favorite. I enjoy the burgers, and the fish and chips. Also, . Snickers Twister. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. Happy to have this convenient takeout spot in our town. read more

Good food and good service. They could definitely use a remodel, however. I've been going here every few years since 1994 or so, and it looks exactly the same when I was 4. It's nice for nostalgic purposes, but a revamp would be nice (haven't been here in about 3-4 years currently, so if they've remodeled, then disregard this - however they likely have not, yet). Only reason why it's not 5 star. read more

I think this particular Fosters Freeze takes pride in their work like you'd never believe. Order a "Boss Burger" and you get a gorgeous, photo-ready hamburger. Like in the commercials. And they're delicious, of course! Such lovely lovely people run this business and prepare great fast food. I hope they're around for a long long time. read more

I grew up with this place. My best friend and I used to get off one bus stop early on the way home from school to get an order of soft serve and an order of extra crispy french fries, then dip the fries in the soft serve. Hot-cold-sweet-salty goodness. And you know what? 15 years later it's exactly the same, and so are the owners. read more

The Good: Some of the BEST customer service I've ever had. Good food for a fast food joint, and of course great dessert options. The Bad: I have to travel a long distance for service this good. Cash only. The Review: On our way back from camping at Little Basin we were extremely hungry and just wanted to eat some serious junk food. Luckily we found this place. I've been to the Foster's Freeze in Milpitas before so I knew what I was expecting. Or at least I thought so. Little did I know I would encounter one of THE BEST customer service experiences I've ever had as a consumer. I will assume he was the owner of this establishment, an older Asian man, and what looked like his wife and his daughter. The man was so nice, friendly, and he didn't rattle when his line got long. Our food was great, as was our dessert. I had the old fashioned double burger, my mom and bro both got the Steak burger, and we ordered a side of waffle fries and zucchini fries. Everything was tasty and cooked to order. This is Foster's Freeze so we all had to get some kind of ice cream. My brother got the twister, my mom got the chocolate dipped cone, and I got the banana split. For the banana split he said if you tell him you are sharing he will put a little bit more. Since my brother ordered his twister with Snicker and bananas, he was kind enough to put it into a bigger cup. The only bad part was that it was cash only. But I did overhear him say that not only personal checks he would let you mail him the check! Boulder Creek ladies and gentlemen! I love this place, if you're in the area, stop by and give this man some business. read more
