    Every time I go to foster freeze, I always get their burritos or corn dogs or chili cheese fries... It's nostalgic for me. I grew up near Santa Cruz where Foster freeze was a thing so being that I have one here in Tracy I was super excited to go. I decided to venture off and get a classic with cheese guys. This is not a classic... This is a junior burger with cheese at best. My patty is nonexistent when typically a classic is bigger... just disappointed cause I love foster freeze but to pay double what a junior burger costs for a classic and still get a junior burger with cheese not the business...

    This place is great to take the grandkids for a cheap, old fashioned outing. $3 BLT with generous bacon, $1 corn dog. Good shakes and malts. They have outside seating for taking your dogs. It's always cold inside in the winter, so bring a jacket! $2 chocolate dipped soft serve cones.

    Great food at a reasonable price. Has something for everyone including the kids. Even have desserts like banana splits.

    Crispy Chicken Burger & Regular Burger (both with fries) DELISH!!

    My family and I finally had time to visit this cute lil' place around Sunday noon. One thing I noticed was how there was plenty of parking and no line. Even if there was one person or two ahead of you, the cashier was ready to take your order quick and move on to the next person! You have the option to order inside or outside. There are lots of tables outside and inside, so either choice works. Also, there are people available to take your order no matter which area you choose. When I looked up Fosters Freeze, I found out that they were known for both their burgers and cones. For that reason, we couldn't resist not to try the other items on the menu. From Malts/shakes (Oreo, vanilla, snickers, and more) to desserts (banana split, cones) to burgers and sandwiches, this place gives a diner vibe despite its fast food presentation. Everything on the menu is fairly cheap or affordable. The cones were only a $1-2 and you could get them swirled. I ordered the "Crispy Chicken Burger" with their crinkly fries and a vanilla cone. The chicken burger was around $6, which wasn't too bad. I really liked how they wait to give you your cone because they know it'll melt and you wouldn't get to enjoy the taste. Talk about smart business (; Their chicken burger was impressive for a place like Fosters Freeze. The chicken wasn't salty and greasy. The freshness of the lettuce mixed with the mayonnaise balanced with the fried chicken. The bun wasn't too special, but the main focus was all on that chicken! The fries were something else. It's definitely a staple to get a sandwich or burger with fries and i was GLAD I did. I don't even know how to describe their fries. It had so much flavor and was cooked until it was literally golden brown. It had a bit more depth to it than your normal McDonalds fries and actually tasted like they put more work into it. As for the vanilla cone, the price was a tiny bit more expensive than your dollar Ikea cone. But let me tell y'all, the quality of their soft serve is worth the extra penny. It's not super sweet, which made me enjoy my cone a lot more. It has that hint of sweetness though that'll make you keep licking it. Although the color is a bit more yellow than white, it remains thick and light at the same time. You take one look at it and you're like "Can I even fit this in my mouth?" Despite all the good things I have been saying, you're probably wondering why I knocked off half a star. Just know that not a large amount of places like Fosters Freeze match up to their quality. This place has no serious problems. The banana split we ordered, however, wasn't amazing. My dad was craving it, so we had to give it a try. It was placed in a plastic container and it seemed cheap. It was definitely something you could make at home! However, I really liked the pineapples they give you at the bottom. I thought that was pretty unique.

    We ordered delivery last night for our anniversary dinner, as this is one of our favorite Tracy…read morerestaurants. We noticed that we were unable to order sides à la carte, and called the restaurant to see if there was anything that could be done. Their customer service goes above and beyond; not only did they go out of their way to add all of their sides to their DoorDash menu immediately, but they sent us mashed potatoes on the house! They even got the food out to us 15 minutes before the food was expected to arrive! As always, everything was delicious, hot, and the texture was comparable to what we get when we eat at the restaurant as well. You can tell that the staff here cares about their to go customers just as much as those who dine in. We are so appreciative about the service and quality of food that we received last night, and cannot recommend this place enough!! We will definitely be back soon and recommend that everyone do the same!

The restaurant was decorated in the style of a pub. Our server was very pleasant and answered our questions about the menu. We tried the chips and queso for starters. The cheese was very creamy and tasty. For our main course my wife ordered the Cajun pasta. She really liked the spices in it. I had the garlic shrimp pasta which I found creamy and flavorful. The portions were generous; we even took some home! I will definitely check out some of their other menu items when I'm in the area again. Thanks Upper Room !

    Another review! Once again, we brought our daughter to your special night for families like ours,…read moregot there with an early reservation (our daughter eats early!) and yet again had a very lovely time. I was trying to figure out what to do for our daughter's 13th birthday that wasn't too "little kid" themed and thought maybe we could do an early dinner before your typical crowd comes in. When I looked at your website it was like it was meant to be that ON her birthday you were having your special event. It was perfect. Food- she still prefers her safe food so her meal was the Golden Arches ;) but thank you for letting us bring it in for her. For mom and dad- this time instead of just appetizers we opted for an appetizer (garlic bread), and two main dishes: the pernil and the creamy chicken pasta. Everything was delicious. My husband took one bite of the pernil and I heard him say "oh yeah" lol. My chicken pasta was flavorful and had plenty of veggies and chicken and the portion was perfect for me to have leftovers at home. That garlic bread though-- you are not kidding around with that! It was very tasty! Thank you for the little birthday dessert, while we knew she wouldn't eat it, it was important for her to have the candle/singing experience. Then of course she made us eat it. (And yes it was also delicious.) Hope we can return on other nights both with our daughter and if ever possible for a mom and dad date night. There are many other dishes we want to try.

To summarize our most recent experience quickly: - seated promptly - drink orders taken promptly. I ordered an Arnold Palmer and it was delivered with pink lemonade. Probably would've passed on a drink if I knew. - orders taken promptly - food arrived fast but no one asked if we needed sauce for the kids chicken tenders, and they forgot my husbands salad. - server didn't check on us for quite some time once food hit, and only the one time. Given we had a toddler we sure could've used a few extra napkins. Food: - Requested our potatoes and hashbrowns well done this time since last time we came they were soggy and had no crisp. They delivered. - I ordered my eggs over medium, they were definitely over easy. - husbands steak temp was correct - kids meal chicken tenders didn't have much color and could've been cooked a little longer for our preference, but were fully cooked through. It was a so/so experience overall. Some hiccups, some things done well. The place seemed clean overall, but being that I'm nearing the end of pregnancy my senses are heightened. I didn't go in, but I think the bathrooms were in rough shape. It kinda smelt like sewage in the waiting area which the bathrooms are attached to. It was also pretty warm inside, atleast where we were seated. I could see the wall thermostat saying it was 77. Perhaps warmer than that given we were seated near the kitchen.
