    Medium Chocolate dipped ice cream??

    I've been coming to Foster Freeze since I was little, and it's always been one of my favorite spots especially for their chocolate-dipped cones. So this review is honestly disappointing for me to write. This last visit was the worst experience I've ever had here. The ice cream didn't taste right, and the presentation looked like no care was put into it at all. It felt rushed and sloppy, like they didn't even try. Even the ambiance felt off usually it's a fun, nostalgic spot, but this time it just felt unwelcoming and not up to par. I ordered what I thought was going to be a simple kids scoop, but somehow ended up being charged $7 for a vanilla shake--and still got a small scoop in a big cup. It just didn't make sense. On top of that, the sundaes we ordered were way smaller than usual and definitely not what we're used to getting here. For a place I've loved for so long, this was really disappointing. I'm hoping this was just an off day, but it definitely didn't live up to the Foster Freeze I remember.

    Half & half. Large cone.

    Okay, I've only ever gotten dessert here. And how can you mess up a soft serve cone?? Got a half & half. Delicious Walk up to the window, get greeted and order. Easy peasy.

    Hidden gem in the Pinole area. The architecture and decorations are from the bygone era of motorbikes, classic cars and skaters. The diner is very spacious as it accommodate people both indoor and outdoor. Enjoy a classic burger with fries and soda. You are set to go. But If you are craving for more, they may have what you are looking for. Don't forget to order and enjoy their amazing soft serve ice cream especially these summer days and nights. The price is reasonable and the food is great. The service is exceptional. Please invite your friends and bring your families and loved ones. One way to spend a quality time and is to enjoy great lunches and dinner together. I highly recommend Foster Freeze for your friends, families and loved ones. Please enjoy Eating. Thank you.

    Yes it might be old and need renovations but the service is so welcoming and the cashiers are so friendly. It was my first time at this restaurant and the food was actually not too bad i was shocked. The prices are also not too bad so i will definitely be returning.

    Fosters Freeze has always been a treat for my children and I as we don't live in California and would only get to go there when visiting my Dad in Pinole. Now my children are adults and they still have to stop by for some nostalgia and a sweet treat whenever they are visiting their Grandpa. This trip to Pinole we were able to take our grandson for the first time. He got kicks out of the place and devoured his food. That's 4 generations of Fosters fans over here, ya'll! It's a great place to take your kids, highly recommend.

    Texas toast cheeseburger- they forgot to add my burger patty.

    The Texas toast cheeseburger I ordered, was missing the burger patty. Imagine making it all the way home, only to realize the burger was missing the actual patty.

    Chicken sandwich was kinda sad

    We came back to this place with friends so I could try breakfast this time. We made reservations…read morejust in case it was busy. We arrived on time and at first we were sat down inside and we asked if we could move outside and at the girl said they didn't have anything, and then we asked possibly the manager/owner (didnt ask him who he was) but he did check and there was one table but it didn't have an umbrella which we were okay with. So, it was nice that we were able to sit outside on a nice day. We all ordered the unlimited mimosas which were nice. For our meals, we ordered the Chorizo hash Benedict, the Corn beef and hash Benedict, and the burger. The Corn Beef Benedict was good, the eggs cooked perfect, the corn beef was pretty good, and the potatoes were crispy like we like them. The Chorizo hash Benedict was also delicious, it wasn't greasy like some Chorizo can be, and the eggs also cooked perfect. The only thing it could have used was some more Hollandaise sauce on them all. There was very little amounts on them all. The burger was cooked perfect and it was also good. Mimosas made up for it. Our food came out in a good time frame and the service was also good.

    First time here! This place was not bad at all! I ordered the lemon garlic fettuccine and my wife…read morehad the eggplant parm, safe to say it was better than expected! The garlic bread was disappointing though, maybe it was because we came in an hour before closing on a holiday and staff and cooks were just ready to leave but overall we were satisfied with the food and service. I gave 3 stars because the garlic bread tasted like it was sitting out and was just reheated and also the energy of the place could be better. Nonetheless I'm confident I will update my review the next time I come from a 3 star to potential a 4 or 5!

    It's been so long since I've been to Pear Street Bistro, and while in the area recently for a few…read moreevents, I popped in with some friends on two different occasions. Love seeing this spot so lively! Both visits were for apps and sips, but I did notice they added more dishes and variety to the menu for lunch/dinner options. Friendly service, fun atmosphere, and also different rooms within the space pending what your feeling ~ the bar area for drinks/apps, the restaurant space if wanting to truly sit down and have that type of intimate environment too. The Pear Salad has always been my go-to, and happy it's still on the menu. Chopped lettuce, gorgonzola crumbles, candied walnuts, champagne vinaigrette, and pear slices. I also enjoyed the Cheese Please for sharing, which comes with toast, three different cheeses, dried cranberries, pears, candied walnuts, and olives. Can you sense the pear theme? We were heading to a play at the Pinole Community Playhouse (walkable & across the street), but check out Pear Street's fun happy hours, events, and weekly specials. Plenty of restaurant parking in the back too.

    Came here for the Cinco De Mayo event. We were a party of 9. They had a DJ…read more The food came out hot and it was delicious. They were no complaints in the area from anyone. One of our party members ordered the Rum Punch. It was overly sweet. Another ordered a drink that was not great at all, sent it back.. only to be told that they do not take back drinks, but made an exception that time. However, if the drink is made wrong or disgusting.. there shouod be understanding around that. We ordered the bottomless Mimosas. It seemed like it was difficult to get a grenadine on the side because I had to constantly ask for it. We had to talk to the manager because our waitress was not consistent with the pouring of bottomless. We lost about 30 to 45 mins of time because of it. The manager understood and granted us more time. I also did not like that fact that our finished plate sat on the table way longer than what they should have. Maybe the waiter was overwhelmed or overworked.
