    It's been a long time since my family and I visited this fosters freeze location. We decided to give it a try again. We went in for ice cream, but ended up ordering some food items. Food was just OK nothing to rave over but satisfying. The customer service was lacking and the facility could use a good cleaning. Old table and chairs need an update! This place has potential but definitely managed wrong.

    Very professional staff

    Stopped by here on our way back to the Bay Area to get milk shakes. This location sparkles, especially in the inside. Lots of ownership pride! We will return!

    My best friend and I have a bit of a tradition: any time we go to Vacaville, we have to get ice cream at Fosters Freeze. This place has such a cool retro vibe, but I love an icy treat on a warm evening under their patio lights. I usually get a small chocolate dip cone with their signature curly-q, but today I decided to try a shake for the first time and it is a super generous size for a small--I do wish they offered chunky peanut butter and a larger straw to go with it, though! Service at the ice cream counter can sometimes be slow because there's usually one or two people, so if a lot of people are there for ice cream it can get crowded and a bit backed up. I have never eaten any food here, so I can't speak to that at all. If you love a creamy and almost custardy-vanilla soft serve, you need to have yourself a Fosters Freeze.

    After a long day of work, a nail in our tire, being shut down by many tire shops because they were closed... we got hungry. Enjoyed two nice burgers with French fries and some drinks! First time trying a foster freeze outside of Pinole CA!

    Most discussing place in Vacaville just look around inside and its very dirty and the food is quite nasty and the ice cream at this location tasted sour I tried to tell the jackass working who is not American he just wanted to argue with me. Yet A-lone the bathrooms are a biohazard Also if the guys are cooking don't order food one of them I observed use spatula to cook a hamburger. He then took that spatula and dipped it in oil took that oil and put it on the grill to toast a hotdog bun talk about cross-contamination.

Our servers were great, but the hostess stood out for the wrong reasons. We came in 6/6/2026 for reference around 12pm. Our party of 10 was quoted a 30-minute wait, which we were happy to accept. After waiting, we checked in with the hostess only to be told that our table had been given away and our name had been removed from the list because she claimed she called us several times. No one in our group heard our name called. What was most frustrating was the lack of effort to help resolve the situation. The hostess was dismissive and seemed uninterested in finding a solution. This was particularly difficult because my 4-year-old niece has autism, and unexpected changes and long waits can be very challenging for her. A little patience, understanding, and compassion would have gone a long way. As longtime customers, we expected better communication and customer service. Unfortunately, the way this situation was handled left us feeling unwelcome and disappointed.

First 100…read morepeople get a free Tri Tip Sandwich (we were too late at 12:20pm), but if you missed out on the free ones, then they had them for purchase at a special $9.99 price. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a couple of employees at the balloon archway at the front of the restaurant, handed each of us a National Tri Tip Day sticker and told about the specials they had for this event: free tri tip sandwiches for the first 100 people, $5 draft beers and a chance to win free tri tips for 1 year. They were decently busy, so we opted to order at the outside pickup window and take our order home to eat. We ordered 4 tri tip sandwiches to take home ($43.21 with tax). When I opened up my Buckhorn Rewards App, I saw that I had an 1 year celebration reward (5oz Burnt Ends w/ Fried Onion Strings), I redeemed that with my order. At the ordering counter the had a QR code to enter their "Free Tri Tips for a Year" drawing, which I entered. Both their tri tip sandwiches and Burnt Ends were delicious! They had some side sauces (chipotle ranch and sweet fire BBQ) that I poured onto the sandwich and then I dipped the sandwich in their Au Jus which was a great combination. I believed the tri tip sandwiches are normally $15.50, but were $9.99 for today's event, it was a great deal. Buckhorn BBQ and Grill is a great place for the BBQ meat lover. Their prices are not cheap, but the quality is there. They do have some deals on the menu and specials on certain days such as $10 for 3 fish tacos on Fridays. Don't forget to join their rewards program for free food.

    We were in Downtown Vacaville for an event that ended at 8pm and resorted to Yelp for place to eat…read more Falafel & Gyro was still open, just over a mile away; and with a 4.8 Yelp rating, this place intrigued me even more. It was a 5 minute drive, located in a small shopping center. The left side of the store is facing the parking lot while the entrance is on other side. Plenty of parking. We were welcomed by the owner, Safi. Everything on their menu was reasonably priced. I initially ordered the Combo Plate and lamb & beef Gyro; then after I paid, I saw the Philly Cheesesteak and had a craving for that instead. I asked if I could still change my order and pay the difference in cash, Safi changed my order and told me not to worry about the difference. We dined in, a few minutes later our food came with generous portions and absolutely delicious! We were also given orange slices and complimentary baklava. The baklava was so flaky and not soaked in syrup which, I like. I asked if they make their own baklava and was told that it's ordered from Sacramento to support another local business! Thank you Yelp Fam for the recommendation! I too recommend this place if ever in Vacaville.

    Not as impressed as I was when it used to be Falafel Corner. The food portion is just as huge as I…read moreremember, but the food was alright. I got the combo plate; hummus had no flavor but it's probably to balance out the saltiness of the meat. Husband got the falafel plate; falafels were a bit dry. They never had really good ventilation in there, so I suggest taking your food to go.
