    $1 cones on Wednesday
    Chiquita G.

    I mainly come here for the ice cream. Every Wednesday they had dollar cones. It recently went up to 1.50 but still cheap. So it's my boys treat practically every other week.

    Paid a lot, got a little. We were in the mood for a great burger and decided to try Fosters Freeze. The place was empty at 7:30 pm, but we passed over several tables trying to find a clean one. The servers were nice enough while taking our order, but nothing else really occurred in the way of customer service. The food was edible, but not really good. More bun than burger and TONS of special sauce. We won't dine here again, but drive through for an ice cream cone...that's a win!

    I used to come here with my dad back when I was a kid ALL the time. I was craving ice cream in a cone, and the first place I thought of was Foster Freeze. It's literally near my house and I didn't want to take my chances of going to another restaurant that might say their ice cream machine is broken. We ordered a large vanilla cone, large swirl cone, and a large vanilla milkshake. Prices were not bad considering the amount of ice cream you get in each cone! They do 1$ deals on Wednesdays for small cones! The guy who helped us was super nice! He was cheerful and it made buying the ice cream worth it! He even compliment my panda pillows attached to my seats. Highly recommend!

    Got a couple items today that mostly came out as expected, except for my Reese's Twister (pictures included). Fosters used to fill these things up to the brim, now apparently my $8 gets me a partially filled cup of ice cream. I said something to the cashier and was given some song and dance about new hires wasting ice cream and being required to keep the amount under the rim. Apparently, "under the rim" also means a big, fat hole drilled into my ice cream with nothing but air filling the space. If this is what I can expect from Fosters, I'll happily go to Sonic from now on when I'm craving a shake.

    If hell had a restaurant, this would be the place. Their overpriced, below average food needs a kick in the right direction. The poor woman working the drive thru probably never hears the end of it because she's the first person the customer sees when they realize the food is shit and or the ding-dong of a cook in the kitchen fucked up their order because of his/hers 2nd grade reading level. Also, once they check that the cook is literate, go ahead a double back around and check his/hers f*%cking eye sight. I guess they can't tell the difference between spoiled lettuce and not spoiled lettuce.

    Banana split was ok.

    This place is not good in my opinion. First the price was too much its around 8 or 9 bucks for a meal. Second it doesnt deliver the meat on the burgers isnt cooked right & it's just missing flavor. I got the old fashion & onion rings, they seemed they were microwaved because they were extremely hot inside. We went as a family night & we could of honestly went to in n out way cheaper & quality up there. They get one star the staff was friendly.

    I've come here plenty of times and this is the first time my food has taken so long to come out. Waited almost 20 minutes for 2 burgers and fries, now if it was busy, I would understand the wait, but it wasn't even busy, the woman on the grill took forever, when I asked a worker, they said it was there supervisor on the grill. Not only was she slow at her job but she was rude when talking to her coworkers, just barking orders at them like they were beneath her. The only thing that saved the visit were the deserts that a wonderfully nice worker named Miracle made, she has made my deserts in the past and they have always come out wonderfully and that was one of the reasons I always returned to this location.

The line went fast, and everyone there was so friendly. The place looks really nice inside and has a cute outdoor seating area. Due to the summer heat, we ate inside but noticed they had little fans on the outdoor tables to keep the bugs away which is much appreciated. The flavor of the food was delicious! The surf and turf was not only good but it was gorgeous!! I am obsessed with the flavor on the shrimp. The only complaint we have is half of our food was cold. The surf and turf and the tri tip was cold, but the chicken was steaming hot and the carbonara was nice and warm. The flavor and cook in the tri tip was good. The carbonara was really good, and the chicken was super tender and had a nice flavor. I can't believe it was only $6 to add on 2 chicken breasts to the pasta. The salmon burger was also good, it was just a little messy to eat. The patty broke into a few pieces that would slide out which made the avocado slide out much easier. The fries were also good. Something that really stood out to us was the size of the portions. You definitely get a bang for your buck here. I would love to return and try one of their salads. They looked phenomenal!

The person came by to serve us water noticed our table was pretty wobbly so he fixed it instantly. I thought that was great for them to notice the small details. They always came by to fill our waters 4-5 times. They also remembered we were celebrating an anniversary so they offered us complementary champagne. Our waitress Celeste was very excellent. She gave suggested me dishes that I couldn't decide. We ended up getting the chicken taquitos ($17), the pork chop ($36) and the prime sirloin ($36). Food was delicious and everything tasted so good. I like the roasted Brussels spouts flakes on the pork chop and even though the sirloin was medium it was still very tender. Even the one time our water cups were empty she noticed and apologized and came back to refill them. The chicken taquitos were very good as well. Bathroom is a little small with only three stalls and one sink but the staff was nice enough to direct me to them cuz they saw I was looking around. Overall is a very good experience. I can see why they're very busy and I hope to come back to try their other dishes!

Dog House Grill has the BEST tri-tip sandwiches ever! Trust me, I have tried others and nothing compares. Upon arrival, parking is always full. If you have some time to wait, it will start to clear slowly. Entrance always has a long line to order food. Another way to order is inside where you find a table by the bar area and be served by a waiter/waitress. The ambiance is sports related so you'll see big screen TVs everywhere with all kind of sports playing and sports decor on the walls. Seating can be a bit of a wait since it's always busy so you kinda have to stand around and wait for tables to clear out or you might even get lucky and find one right away. Ordering is easy, big screens for menus upon entering and cashiers waiting to take your order. Once you order your food, it's a bit of a wait until they call your number. Our order today was 2 tri tip sandwiches and a side of fries. Totaling out $40. - Tri-tip sandwiches are $17 each. Worth it every single time. 1000/10 - Side of fries is actually a pretty large order. Seasoned a bit and for the size and taste 8/10 All in all, a great place to eat. I crave this often and it's located near the Savemart Center/Fresno State area which you can't miss. You can even smell it from a close distance. But in all seriousness, go try it.
