    Omg this is such a sweet treat and hidden gem. The soft serve is top tier, and the food is really good. It's very small and they only accept cash. It's also a bit of a wait but absolutely worth it. I got a vanilla chocolate dipped cone, my husband got a banana split and and chili cheese fries. So darn good! There's plenty of parking. Staff was nice I can't recommend enough!

    If you like the old school, walk-up to the window and order burger and ice cream stand, then you will probably like this place. They serve cheeseburgers and hot dogs, shakes and malts, ice cream cones, and freezes. Their ice cream is delicious and reasonably priced too. They also make great malts. However, the staff isn't the friendliest, and they only take cash.

    Banana split!!!

    Yum! Customer service was no nonsense and fast. We stopped by here for the nostalgia of childhood memories. 40+ years ago this was the place to go after a soccer game or a special occasion. The ice cream did not disappoint. It was sweet and creamy and definitely Foster's Freeze. Tons of options on the menu and all the sweets are sweet and exactly what you expect. I wish there were more of these up north.

    This place is so cute, CASH ONLY, very friendly workers. We just got ice cream and a twister but it was very good and we'll definitely be back

    The only ice cream place that was open when I was in spring valley recently was fosters freeze so I gave it a try. This is a cash only establishment, come prepared. They offer ice cream, hot dogs and burgers. They had quite a lot of options. Different ice cream sundaes, milkshakes, chocolate dipped vanilla cones. The brownie cherry parfait sounded really good, so that's what I ended up ordering. The soft serve ice cream itself was good. The brownie was stale and old. The cherry flavoring tasted a little off. Almost like cough syrup. The parfait was $7 total. It wasn't worth that much at all and felt like a waste of money. Service was just as bad as the parfait. The 2 employees working did not like answering any questions and were not happy to be working. If I was desperate, maybe I'd come back. Next time I'm just getting an Oreo shake from jack in the box!

    There is always a long line when I drive past this place so I figured I'd give it a try. I got a cherry brownie twist and it was super good! We also ordered a peanut butter milkshake that was pretty good but it could've been a little more peanut buttery. My husband tried a burger and fries and said they were decent but not great. I'd say come here for the ice cream, but skip the food. Lots of parking.

    I will always love this classic ice cream/shake hut. I have to stop by at least once every summer. They are currently open from their outside ordering window only. They do take call ahead orders. They have plenty of parking. I believe they are a cash only shop. Their chicken strips are amazingly juicy and the breading is flavorful. My picky son enjoyed them. My go to is a worms and dirt twister with a side of waffle fries. Their menu hits the spot if you're craving a sweet and/or salty snack.

    Food is always great, service was fast and correct, you can either eat in your car or take it home so the ambiance is what you make it.

    Can't go wrong with the Double Decker burger one of the best fast food burger there is. All the shakes and ice cream cones are good.

Ordered Lunch Special #5, chose burger and tomato salad. Burger is a BURGER, meaty, cheesy, garlic aioli all over the place, delicious. The tomato salad is even better than burger, pieces of tomato, cucumber, red and green bell pepper all coated with balsamic vinegarette was cool, fresh, and delicious. Ordered cheese slice to go, solid Detroit slice, tangy red sauce, thick fluffy dough, crispy caramelized cheesy corners. Large selection of 30 beers. Plenty of specials with happy hours, hourly specials, and more. Definitely will return to explore menu

The food was stellar as always. The service was great. What was not great was the fries came out and about 5 minutes later the wings came out (my order) and 10 minutes after that the pizza came out (my boyfriends order). He had to watch me eat (or I let me food get cold) and then I had to watch him eat. Always better to have all the food come out at the same time. Just not a great experience with the food timing but I stil love this place

    TL,DR: Outstanding food, priced right, great service and great atmosphere…read more I had driven past this place a few times and the name always cracks me up, reminds me of Jim Carrey from Dumb and Dumber. My wife tricked me into going with her to Walmart to pick up some shit, so I got to pick the spot for lunch and this is what I picked. Got there about 2 PM on Good Friday and there were a few people there but nothing crazy. Got seated right away and ordered drinks, a Pacifico for me, Sprite for the wifey - got them right away. For food, I got a BBQ bacon cheeseburger with tots, wifey got a regular bacon cheeseburger with everything plus fries, and I was curious so I also got the $10 chocolate (fudge) shake. Shake was delivered first. Expectations were high, and I was not disappointed. The shake was served in the metal tin, made with loads of real ice cream, whipped cream, fudge, drizzle of chocolate syrup, and chocolate sprinkles. Honestly not sure what I was thinking when mixing beer with shake, in hindsight I wouldn't do that again... but it was one of the best shakes I've had in a long while. Burgers came out shortly afterwards. Wifey's was cooked perfectly medium, which is an unusual thing for most burger places these days; most of the time when I order a burger medium, it comes out medium well or well done. These were both perfectly medium. Both burgers came out with a generous amount of potato products, more than either of us could hope to stuff down our gullets in one sitting. The food was outstanding. The service was great. The music was too loud for the wife but it was the kind of music that is supposed to be played loud so no points off for that from me. A nice vibe overall. I'll definitely be back.

She came to our table ready to take our orders and asked for drinks; I requested two waters and before we could say our orders, she walked away real quick to grab the waters. I didn't have an issue with it, 5 stars for that quick service! But another member at the table had mentioned it to our server when she came back, and we all laughed about it (her included). But the entire time we ate and she came back to serve us and walk away, I was met with glances and glares from her. It made my dining experience very uncomfortable because there was really no problem! Mac had no cheesy flavor, truffle oil overpowers. Seemingly no seasonings on chicken for chicken sandwich. Brussel sprouts burnt to the point I thought it was a plate of cooked beef looking at it. If you're going to order here, stick to the beers and milkshakes.
