Vanilla cone
Bianka C.

Kiddos and I love fosters freeze, always order their vanilla soft serve cone and husband and kiddos get their twisters!

Vichea C.

Have driven this Fosters Freeze for years finally stoped by for Oreo milk shake and coffee flavored milk shake. Perfect treat to cool off during this Southern California heat wave. Both milkshake has a nice blend of sweetness. I didn't hav to request for less sugar. Creamy smooth Oreo flavor milkshake. The coffee flavor was a new twist I had not tried before and flavor was just right not too strong, but the caffeine will keep you up if you're not a regular caffeine consumer. Also ordered their French fries, I know I know crispy French fries is a really good compliment with the nice chilled milkshakes. If you haven't tried it, worth taking a shot at it. The owners were so friendly. Apparently they operate this location and the other location in Old Town Torrance. We love Old Town Torrance and look forward to visiting that location as well. I especially appreciate seeing Cambodian own businesses near us in the Southbay.

Just horrible

Ordered a corn dog and received a burnt one looks like it got bitten as well I'm good off this place never again

Oreo blizzard thing
Ambar C.

This is our second visit to this location and it's 1. Affordable and 2. Good ice cream I really like that they have a drive thru for convenience with kids and as soon as you make your order, the ice cream order is prepared asap- it was out in a few minutes. My husband got the vanilla cone, my youngest the chocolate cone, my oldest got the oreo mixed blizzard looking ice cream (small) and the amount was do much! Definitely a bang for your buck! I got the hot fudge sundae (small) - mine was the most expensive but it's okay! Total came out to $19 which is not bad considering you pay way more at other places.

Food menu

I never heard of Fosters Freeze until a few months ago but I always wanted to come here and check out all the ice cream options. If you love Shakes and Burgers this is the perfect place. There is so many options at reasonable prices and the food comes out relatively quick, so far I had a Oreo and worms and dirt twister and they have all came out nicely and perfectly mixed. The cashier workers are nice and the overall location is clean. Definitely worth checking out on the weekend when you want something sweet.

Menu
Johnathan R.

THEY TAKE CARD!! This is easily the best ice cream in the area and the nostalgia adds even more reason to come. The menu is huge, and I try to get something new everything. The Pb&j ....OMG!! and the hot fudge brownie will have you rethink how much brownie pieces you can actually handle in ice cream, seriously they load it UPPP!!!

Oreo ice cream
Andres M.

My kids were craving ice cream and this location is super close to our house so we decided to try this place. I was kind of hesitant at first cuz of all the bad customer reviews and wrong pricing, whatever but still gave it a try. We ordered from the window, not drive thru also. Kiddos ordered like the second from the smallest cup oreo ice cream which is kinda big honestly, and I ordered a small pineapple sundae. I paid $22 for all three. I think price is fine, right? The cups were big in my opinion and they're full of ice cream, all the way up literally.. The oreo ice cream was really good, kids loved it. Also my pineapple sundae was good. Simple vanilla ice cream I guess, topped with some type of pineapple topping/puree, whipped cream and nuts. Really tasty. Guy who helped me seemed ohkay, I asked him which sundae flavor was the best he couldn't really tell saying everyone likes something different. Guess he wasn't wrong lol I just needed help choosing a flavor. Anyways didn't see anything wrong with the people working there, not that I interacted with any more of them but yeah. Outdoor sitting is really convenient. Lots of tables and space for kids.

Chicken sandwich
Natalie N.

Such a good chicken sandwich, and they have a drive thru. Great customer service. Plenty of options. Will definitely be back

Parfait Carmel .. lemonade
Jason U.

Great ice cream .. fast service and nice employees.. private parking lot and drive thru also .. great nostalgic feeling from my younger years when hanging out with friends or on a date .

Outside seating
Rick S.

Each time I stop by , I enjoy a burger and something sweet, this time I got a chocolate shake. The burger is simple buy it brings back memories. The food comes out quickly and looks great. The employee is friendly The service has been very good each time I stop by. They do have inside seats and outdoor seating too. It's a comfortable place to eat

Soft serve
James A.

First time at any Foster's Freeze: OK food, good soft serve, OK but confusing prices, adequate service. Stopped by here with a friend on a Tuesday afternoon. She mentioned that there used to be a lot of Foster's Freezes in Long Beach, but they closed down. This one in Carson (independently owned, franchised from the original Fosters which opened in 1946) seemed to be the closest one still open. It was going to be a final stop for ice cream during a lunch excursion, but we ended up having eating here too, since our initial restaurant was closed for a private function. Fosters Freeze Carson is a walk-up (the dining room is closed) with open air seating, and a drive-thru; we were the only non-drive thru customers during our stay. The menu and prices reminded me very much of the other burger restaurants scattered throughout this area. Interaction is done through narrow windows...definitely got the sense it is locked for safety concerns. Result is, it's a bit hard to communicate and EVERYTHING has to be individually asked for (i.e. there are no condiments, utensils, nothing available self-serve). I got the vibe that the cashier wouldn't appreciate me asking for free water. We ended up getting two burgers (one single cheese and the other a double cheese with bacon), and a side of chili fries...costing about $22 (so it's not cheap). There is a 3.5% surcharge for use of credit/debit cards (they prefer cash). After about 5 minutes, the burger was ready and I picked it up through a similar window. The burgers are large (area of a BK whopper), with very fresh toppings and well constructed, using thin from frozen burger patties. The double filled me up, enough to not really eat much of the fries (it was OK...not a fan of the Cincinnati-style chili they used). I went back up to get two soft serve cones, both of them dipped. They have two choices of soft serve: vanilla and chocolate (SM: $2.14 and L: $3.39 with them being dipped with chocolate (think Magic Shell) as an option +$1.98 each. It's funny...the small ended up being a bit short...but the large was very (too) big...there is nothing in between. The soft serve itself (vanilla) was OK, it was a french style with egg yolks (at least I hope that's why the ice cream was yellow). It wasn't very dense, resulting in it melting pretty quickly...I couldn't finish it. Next time, I would just get a small (no dip) for $2.14 and pay cash.

Triple Berry Cheesecake Twister with chocolate dipped cone
Jack A.

My partner and i have been wanting to try this place out since we've moved in to the area. We like places like sonics and DQ but there aren't any around so today I ordered their triple berry cheesecake twister in medium, my partner ordered a small chocolate dipped vanilla cone. We both love our sweet treats! My partner really likes the quality of the vanilla ice cream and I love the little cheesecake bites in my twister(it also has berry pieces). We were the only ones in the drive thru so service was quick and nice.

The chicken was all cut up not a whole chicken breast which I should have seen as a red flag. But I tried to enjoy it, thinking positive and enjoy my night. I finished the beer and ordered a small beer but I started feeling really dizzy during this time. And not from drinking. If you've ever been roofied you know this exact feeling. Things are moving slower. You're spinning. You don't have full control. And you could pass out at any second. Thankfully I got home but it continued in a shower I took to try and wake up, but that didn't work. On my sofa I passed out. And woke up the next day still not feeling good. Still needing to lay down and needing more sleep. Another night passed where I slept early. Like I was knocked out. And today, Friday I finally felt like it was all out of my system. And this all happened because I went to Slip. This is not a fluke. It was not an accident. It happened to me and it can happen to you too. It can happen anywhere maybe, or maybe not. But what's for sure is it happened to me there. If you're with Slip and you're reading this, do not try and make me an offer to return. I won't. Ever.

They had a kids menu as well and lots of side options. There were lots of Korean-inspired dishes as well like Kim chi fried rice. There was an entire menu just for different breakfast burritos. The turon pancakes really tasted like the real caramelized turon. It had a nice sticky syrup on top that wasn't too sweet. The pancakes came super hot and were fluffy. The portion size was great. The cilantro sauce on the burrito was delicious. The pickled veggies added nice acidity that I appreciated. The bad: I don't know if there was any parking other than street parking. We parked right out front which was 1 hour parking and to the side is 20 minute parking. The interesting: You order and pay at the counter and the food gets brought out to you. I saw they had fresh cookies baked as well. Inside, there were festive balloons. I am not sure if it's always there or if they were from a special event.

Overall, would come back and be a regular. The staff is super nice too.

We ordered a $13.99 personal meal. My wife had the mac & cheese with a salad, and I had the combo pizza with a Caesar salad. We added two drinks for $1.99 each and shared a nutty coleslaw. I was surprised at how large the "personal size" mac & cheese was -- it was very generous. We ended up sharing the pizza, mac & cheese, and coleslaw and still had plenty of food. The meal also came with two personal-size carrot cakes, which we took home for the next day. Even sharing just one was more than enough.

Rubbery, badly seasoned, and felt like low-quality meat. Completely different from what they serve at other locations. -BBQ sauce was off. Way too much black pepper to the point it made me cough.

I ended up here not because of Yelp, but because another restaurant failed to open at 11 am, and I was on a time crunch. The restaurant is actually splint between a full-fledged bakery, a kitchen, and a dining area. I got the sense that the dining area was acquired from an adjacent storefront next to the existing bakery. The decor was certainly entertaining. Fake flowers and plastic quetzals adorn the dining area, reminiscent of the Tiki House at Disneyland. There are large posters of Guatemala in the store front, but all the staff spend most of the time behind in the kitchen. It took me a while to get the attention of the waitress to order my food. The menu items looked authentic, but the food was rather bland. I had the traditional Guatemelan sausage with beans and rice. I think the main attraction for the business is really the bakery. The restaurant is more of an afterthought. I did get some bread to go to share with my co-workers, and they were delighted. Three small bread sold for a dollar, which is a kick-ass deal, especially for how good they taste. I wouldn't go out of my way to dine here, but if I am inspired again to try some authentic Guatemelan bread, I'll swing by again.

If you crave Prime Rib, what makes this a good meal is it comes with bread, soup and a baked potato and the cut comes in 3 sizes to choose from. The service is friendly and fast and this is family styled, no dress code nor any frills of ambiance. It's like a bar lounge with karaoke in the front and formal (casual) dining in the back Parking is easy, but remember this... If driving down Sepulveda and the Sam Franciscan is going to be on your right side... then the parking lot you want to pull into is on your right side BEFORE the San Franciscan yellow sign. If you pass it and pull into the next lot, it locks you in and does not connect to the restaurant and you'll then need to turn around pull out then get back onto Sepulveda, turn right onto Crenshaw and then reach the San Franciscan parking lot from the back or if confused you get back onto Sepulveda from there and try to park again and not miss the correct parking position of their parking lot.
