    a hand holding a cup of ice cream
    Frank G.

    When you've been to 90% of the other burger spots in town, but you still haven't found that (1) mom and pop place that really hits your foodie goals.. Foster Freeze was ours! We were both craving some soft serve, but really wanted something "other than McDonald's." We started looking around for Parfaits and behold! Fosters Freeze! Going to compliment the staff here! Went on a weds morning/afternoon that point around 11:00am/12:00pm. The gentleman who took our order and helped us at the window gave the best customer service! He was attentive, helpful, asked if we needed napkins, straws, etc. super kind and positive attitude! Already happy with the results from coming here! The burger was really good! It reminded me of old school Foster Freeze, but they changed the bun up! It's almost like a potato bun and a brioche had a baby! It was soft yet a nice density to hold the meat and toppings. The burger was "exactly" the mom and pop burger I was looking for! Fries are AMAZING!!! The BEST crinkle fries in Visalia! They have the right amount of seasoning, always crispy the way they should be! Chocolate Dipped Cone.. BOMB!!! Nice hard chocolate coating surrounding the most delicious soft serve! I got a small and it was more than enough! Pumpkin Milkshake.. Meh! I would pass on this. It really didn't taste like anything. Not like a pumpkin pie, not like a milkshake, just lacked flavor. Props on the Parfaits here! I didn't take a pic but it was covered perfectly in hot fudge, the soft serve "again" amazing! Overall I would say give this place a shot if you haven't been here in a while or if you are missing that "nostalgia" and are craving a mom and pop burger like I was! The fries alone are a must stop for!

    During my youth, Fosters Freeze was like the I-n-O of the Central Valley of California. I was excited to see that there are still a few of them around. When I came across this location, I decided to stop in and give it a try. Granted, it isn't the old school walk up of yesteryear, but the food did take me to back in the day. The crinkle cut fries, double cheeseburger and diet coke sure hit the spot on that hot fall day in Visalia. Service was a bit lackluster, but the food more than made up for the poor customer service skills of the staff. I probably won't go back, but it was a nice try.

    A Foster's Freeze "twister" was a staple of my childhood, so it was only natural that this be my first stop for a sweet treat when in Visalia. Unfortunately, either my standards have gone up or the quality has gone down. My concoction was sort of a mess and nothing like the quality mix I remember munching on as a kid. The biggest issue was stale candy ingredients. I got vanilla ice cream with a mixture of butterfinger and snickers. I watched them scoop crushed up chinks of the stuff into the ice cream in the back, which didn't look especially appetizing, and it turns out it wasn't. Some of the candy bits were so stale they were impossible to chew and lacked a lot of flavor. Plus the thing was so sloppily made that half of it was constantly dripping out the sides of the lid. I've been here twice over the years and both of my twisters were the same, so it's safe to say this is how they come now. In conclusion, great concept, poor execution.

    I absolutely LOVE Fosters! Now granted I mostly come for the ice creams but the kids that work at this fosters are always pleasant and they have great customer service. Right now they only have the drive thru open but I only go through the drive thru anyways. The wait doesn't ever bother me because it's the same anywhere you go in a drive thru like in n out or farmer boys and for me, the twisters here are worth it. They are HUGE and sooo filling! They definitely do not skimp out on the mix ins! Also the dipped cones are a great size. The small is a medium and the jr is the small. They make everything as soon as you order it md they have the window where you can see them in the kitchen getting down! I recommend to give this place a try!

    A so called 4-piece combo meal.
    Jennifer O.

    If you want overpay for crappy over cooked food this is your best bet! Ordered a 4 piece chicken strips combo for my son and I swear there were a total of 10 fries with this $10 mea!! A total rip off. You are better off going virtually anywhere but this place. Used to live Fosters Freeze but this location is trash.

    Chocolate Chip Milkshake.

    Loved, loved, loved their Chocolate Chip Milkshake for years!!! A vanilla shake that they added the chocolate shell they would use for dipped cones and blend. So good!! Today for the first time I got a chocolate chip shake and it was mostly chips like that is used to make cookies. Some people love chocolate-- but this was way too much!! Looked like cookie dough-- and won't go up a straw.

    Crappy hamburger..the patty is so thin!!
    Samantha B.

    Customer service was fast and friendly. The inside was clean, so no complaints there. The food on the other hand was disgusting!! except for the fries. The hamburger was literally the same size as the kids meal hamburger, and guess what?? So were the fries!! Both hamburgers lacked taste, and the sauce was gross. I can't believe I spent 13 dollars, on 2 meals, and I ordered the cheapest ones. I will definitely Not be returning!

We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon and grabbed seats at the bar. Sam was our server and was fantastic, friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. Her recommendations were spot on. The food absolutely did not disappoint. I ordered the Grilled Chicken Taco Salad, and it was enormous! The tortilla shell was so crispy and well-made that it actually held up for leftovers the next day. The jalapeño ranch had the perfect amount of heat and flavor. We also tried the Drunken Chicken Sandwich. Sam recommended getting it breaded, and I'm glad we listened. The homemade breadcrumb coating was light, crispy, and flavorful without being overly thick or salty. For appetizers, we shared the Fried Pork Belly Bites, which were paired with a delicious coleslaw and a sweet Korean-style BBQ sauce, and the Deviled Eggs, which were AMAZING. They came prepared three different ways, making it fun to try each variation. Honestly, I couldn't pick a favorite. Their beer selection was impressive, and I was especially excited to find Crow & Wolf's Dark Wolf Seltzer on tap, one of my favorites and not something you see everywhere. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and had plenty of character. Even the ladies' restroom had quirky, fun artwork that added a unique touch to the atmosphere. The size and amount of tv's was impressive. If you're looking for a relaxed vibe, great drinks, exceptional service, and food that delivers, I highly recommend checking this place out. We'll definitely be back.

I ordered the French Dip, which should be a slam dunk for a pub-style spot, but it lacked the basic execution that makes that sandwich great. The Main Event: French Dip * The Bread: This was the biggest disappointment. It wasn't toasted, grilled, or even brushed with a little butter. It felt like an afterthought, leaving the texture of the sandwich completely uninspired. * The Meat: The tri-tip was sliced thin and seemed okay, though it had that "pre-cooked this morning" vibe rather than being fresh off the block. * The Au Jus: A French Dip lives and dies by the dip. Unfortunately, this was essentially bland beef broth--watery and lacking any deep, salty, or beefy complexity. The Silver Lining The meal wasn't a total wash, thanks to the sides. The fries arrived piping hot, crispy, and seasoned well. Paired with a side of their ranch, they were easily the best part of the plate. Final Verdict: If you're going for the atmosphere and a cold beer, it's a win. But if you're craving a high-quality sandwich, you might want to look elsewhere until they step up their bread game.

The ambiance was good, there was plenty of seating and they did have a bathroom. Which is such a lifesaver if you go with kids. Our bill did come out to a bit over $100, considering we also got a Jarritos, a Coca Cola bottle and a regular drink. However it was worth it.! Specially when you still have food to take home for dinner. We did get lucky with parking and we were able to get a spot right out front, however if you go on a busy day, it'll be quite the walk. But that's the whole point of eating down town, to enjoy with area and have good food.

The Calamity Jane was the clear winner for me; the combination of sautéed onions, barbecue sauce, and mushrooms was absolutely spot-on. We also upgraded our side to clam chowder. It had great flavor, though it was a bit thicker than I prefer--not a dealbreaker by any means. Service really made the experience shine. Paula was phenomenal--attentive, friendly, and quick to check in on us and keep everything running smoothly. Overall, this is a great spot for lunch with friends or coworkers. Since it's right on Main Street, parking can be a bit tricky, so I'd recommend using a nearby public lot and taking a short walk over.
