I placed an order for a combo burger. I asked the fries be crisp, and a cherry coke, no ice. Took my order home. The burger was cold and overcooked, the fries limp, and the coke was full, full of ice. Fresh Freeze used to be a very good place to get a burger. They used to be tasty. The person taking orders never once smiled. She was grouchy. This is not the first time I have had a bad experience with Fresh Freeze. The food has gone downhill from thirty-forty years ago. read more

Do not come here if really hungry and or don't have an hour to wait.. I been waiting 40 mins since ordered and still waiting on food they def need to do something about being able to handle a rush that I'm sure happens every afternoon. This wait time is crazy for a supposedly fast food diner don't know who has this kind of lunch time frame to make back to work waiting almost an hour for food! read more

They're shakes and sundae flavors are amazing. We had strawberry, banana, and black raspberry, highly recommend!

Classic cheeseburger that's very tasty! Always good spot to stop on a hot day for some cold ice cream.

This place used to be a real treat for me back in my early years living in Eureka. I would have been satisfied with a large order of french fries by itself back then. They were so large you could fill up on fries alone. Sadly, that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. The last few times I've eaten there both the burger and the order of fries seemed small and taste was mediocre. Wait times vary but are usually on the longer end in comparison to most restaurants. I've had to wait even when I called my order in ahead of time. The one time I really paid attention to the time, I spent 45 minutes waiting just for a burger and fries. I live fairly close to Fresh Freeze but go elsewhere. I hate to say it but you just pay too much for too little there now. read more

Diners like Johnny Rockets or Mel's are cool and the food is usually pretty good,but those places can't compete with the experience of eating in a genuine 1950's drive-in. This place has been around for 55 years, an eternity in the restaurant business. Most of the tourists passing through on 101 won't find this treasure since it's located about a mile off the main drag. But it's worth the detour not only to enjoy the great food but also the friendly service and the large collection of model cars. If you're in Eureka don't miss it! read more

Second time I 6 months they have either left me on hold for 30 min or left phone off hook for 20.... Come on fresh freeze!! Get some free wifi also read more

I had really bad customer service here last week unfortunately and our food was mediocre at best. Also it took quite awhile to get our food. I doubt I'll be going back here. read more

What is nice is that there is plenty of outdoor seating but what is not so nice are the burgers. The buns are too big and the meat patty is too thin. But the fries are good and the prices are reasonable. Oh, and you have 2 choices of burger, large or small... I got the large and it turned out to be what I would expect a standard burger size would be which is a quarter pound patty. I suspect the small is there for the kiddos. I wouldn't say don't come here... but just from the looks of this place you should know not to expect too much. read more

I have lived in Eureka all my life and grew up with Fresh Freeze. I loved it! Things have changed. I recently ordered my grandson a child's hot dog meal. I asked for cheese on the hot dog. The young inexperienced girl said " we don't put cheese on kid hot dogs." after unsuccessful debate I gave up. I said, " so a kid can't have cheese because their a kid?" she said yes! No cheese allowed on kid hot dogs! I said I expect to pay for the cheese. Nope, still no cheese allowed! Made no sense what's so ever! It was like a comedy show! No brains girl then apologized but continued to stand by this very odd, prejudice against kid, rule. Yes, she claimed it was a RULE of Fresh Freeze! Fresh Freeze you are losing business. Train your employees! Change your ridiculous rule! Disappointed and won't be back. Kids like cheese! read more

Stopped in to Fresh Freeze after a long day of traveling. The mister and I split a Bacon Cheeseburger, large fries, and egg nog milkshake. Food took over 20 minutes to "arrive" and the burger was silly tiny for the price. Tasty but tiny. I think the bun was an egg bread? Really good. The milkshake was delicious and the fries fresh from the fryer and HOT! It was as expected for an old Drive-In but overpriced in our opinion. Food was tasty, seating inside was limited and cook time was a long time. Even so, I'm wishing we returned for a pumpkin milkshake. read more

This place is only worth 1 1/2 stars but the ice cream side boosts it up to 3. This place is the epitome of a greasy spoon. Burgers are terrible. Chicken strips are ok. Chili cheese frys are less then mediocre and corn dogs are just ok. The hot fudge sundae is pretty good and shakes are good too! The cherry-lime squeeze is probably in my opinion the best thing there! read more

I love there mint milkshake! I had a small chili cheese fries and there was so much I had way to much left over.. So if you are a beast you should be full. It looks like an old style drive in diner and plays oldies. Go at night to see the neon. read more

It's alright. Every time I call to order (once every three weeks or so) I get the busy signal not because they are... their phone is ALWAYS OFF THE HOOK. Once I get there and typically with one or two other customers there it takes 15 min just to order food. read more

A throwback to the Happy Days-style 50s drive-in (drive up?) burger stand. They don't have the car hops here, though, so you do have to go in. Decent burgers and fries. I like the Humboldt Burger combo. Service can be a little hit-or-miss, but it's never been atrocious. Great shakes. Hot dogs, too. Since this place can be a little busy and take a little time to get your food out, I would recommend you call your order in advance if you're in a hurry at all. read more

The food is great and fairly well priced, but it takes very long for food to be ready. I ordered a 2pc chicken tender that comes with fries and it took half an hour to my food! The fries were sitting out and weren't as hot as I would've liked. Otherwise I would give this place a 5 read more

Would die for milkshake. I want go again. Over and over..... I'm from Portland Oregon. I'm still craving for it. I havent visit for few years. Want stop by there again! read more

I really like a divey drive-in; even those that go for the faux-50s vibe. This place actually has been here since the 50s but has gussied itself up in a manner that reminds me of Mel's. Anyway, the food's what matters, right? My "deluxe" hamburger patty was pretty crispy and on the smallish side. A little disappointing. The fries were standard. The cones are generous. The small size had a good 3" of ice cream topping it! read more

I wanted to like this place. But the fact is, they sold me a bag of tasteless fries and a burger about the size and consistency of a McDonald's cheeseburger [the cheapest one on the menu] for a little over 10 dollars. I will not be returning. I should have captured an image of this thing. It was a pathetic, but unfortunately typical example of the fare served up by Eureka's 'finest' establishments. Service like this is why people here are so elated any time a major corporate chain moves in. read more

Travel back in time when you go to this burger place! The Ice cream is exceptional. The Burgers are fresh, juicy, and delicious. The price is expensive and very reasonable. If you want cheap fatty and soggy food go to Mcdonalds, come here if you want the opposite of that! If you're in Eureka you have to check this place out, its worth the travel! read more

Ok, Ok, it gets 4 stars because this was my childhood burger joint. But there's a very classic pre-McD's burger amalgamation that happens here that still rates! See, my mom and dad would go out to play bridge, to do the inventory at their store, or simply to parties. One of my older brothers - who actually drives log trucks in Humboldt County now just to show you some of my very weird roots - would call up Fresh Freeze and get a couple of Humboldt Specials (these have bacon and a dbl patty), fries (extra crispy), and hot fudge milk shakes. I could never eat it all so he's save the left over burger and fries for his lunch the next day. I've been back many times as an adult and it still remains one of the best simple burger joints around. It's not gourmet but it's got the right greasy drips into soft bun texture that is not easy to accomplish. The fries are mediocre but the burgers are fried on the flat grill and so are the buns. Add their secret mix of chopped onions, lettuce, tomato and some kind of mayo like special sauce (or maybe it's just mayo with burger grease?) and it's a magic bullet for nostalgia and comfort food all at once. Their shakes are a great combination of thick in the middle but liquefied around the edges so you can sip immediately upon receipt. They've 50s kitsched the place up in recent years (which I don't really enjoy), but they still have the crappy orange plastic booths and a line of high school kids waiting for their foot long dogs. read more

The best ice cream stop in Eureka . I have been going here since I was a kid. Everything is awesome on the menu . Classic drive up really cool spot read more

A classic Eureka spot for soft serve ice cream. Miniature classic model cars line the windows. It's decoration but also art installation as each mini auto is an object to inspect and marvel at the details, for a true gear head any transportation is a diversion. A server friend once told me they have fun competing to see who can successfully dip a towering swirl cone in the hard chocolate coating, which is similar to Magic Shell. Not an easy feat and a lighthearted part of visiting a classic rockabilly feel joint for a dose of frozen Americana and nostalgia. read more

I hate to give a five star review to such a greasy fast junk food place! But they have soft serve dipped cones, and I have loved those since I was a kid! Also the burgers and fries are excellent. Even my picky girlfriend loves them! read more

I was driving through on business when I found this place on Yelp. It's a diner that opened in the early 50's. I enjoyed the look of the place and was fine with the burgers. They were a little slow getting the food out. but that didn't surprise me since I read reviews on here before I went. If you want a trip into the past and enjoy a good burger with good fries.... i'd say go for it. If you in any hurry.... Pass it up. It's not a place to go if your in a hurry. read more

Love the old time decor of Fresh Freeze. Good ice cream delicious shakes. I can't get enough of the chili fries and love the fried zucchini

I've been eating here for years and i still love this place:) I came here on Saturday with my dad and Husband and our food was awesome! Bacon chili cheesedog! SO delicious...I knew I should have ordered the long dog!!!! I topped it off with a Rocky Road milkshake and it was the perfect way to end the day! They've really fixed the place up and I have great memories of coming here as a kid for the chocolate dipped cones... read more

My friend and I had the bacon cheeseburger and veggie burger and both were delicious. The fries are good as well, and it didn't take overly long to be served. The staff is super friendly. If you're looking for a burger near Henderson center then this is a great choice. Update: I decided to try their corn dogs and was a little disappointed. The breading is a little bland on them. I say to just stick with the burgers. read more

Great food! We have only had their burgers, chicken strips, fries, and shakes. We love this place.

Basically a local icon. It's straight out of the 50's. A bit on the pricey side but it's a local business competing with large chains . I am happy to buy my burgers and fries here and support the local business! Plus it's where all the local hot rods come to meet once a month. Any given weekend you can see a nice hot rod or muscle car here:) love this place. read more

If I could leave 0 starts I would .I travel a lot with my family. We've been here about 6x this year and have had very unpleasant experiences. Every time we been we've walked in and haven't been greeted at all. As soon as we walk in the "manager" (chubby lady always telling other what to do and calling them out in front of everyone)stares us up and down and walks away and acts like she's doing something else. After a couple minutes she greets other people walking in and we're just standing there waiting for her to take our order. She stands at the register and just stares at us. Keep in mind she doesn't say a word to us. My husband looks at me and tells me to order so I do. She still doesn't say a word. I'm like what is going on. We've never disrespected an employee and we get treated to this awful "customer service". People sitting down are laughing at us because they realize what's going on and since they are regulars they obviously think what these employees do is okay, just because they get amazing customer service. Today I was craving a couple things from there and after the awful service I couldn't get anything. It really did make me sad and disrespected that because we're Hispanic we're treated this way. They need to learn to treat everyone with respect and be equal. We're all the same. We come from a middle class family and get looked down upon like we don't have money. Not sure if I'll ever return again since all these experience I've had have made me very emotional and sad. To end this off we have never received a Thank you even though we've left very good tips. They really need to get rid of her or train them on customer service. I'm sorry I had to leave this review but I just can't anymore. read more

I am Humboldt County native and grew up in Eureka I have pick going to the fresh freeze 4 / 50 years in the last few years they have struggled with service even though the Cook's slang up the same awesome food with quality control and it always tasted the same and never disappointed. Especially the Humboldt special and the footlong chili bacon with onions and cheese oh and don't forget the chocolate dipped cone always makes a kid's smile. They have a cook that they've had for a while that is really awesome and she can keep up with a busy crowd and they just recently hired a young girl named Jacey. She is a first counter girl and probably 15 years that is fresh freeze Worthy. Between that cook and JC the place is going to be okay. I was really glad when I got my food in under 10 minutes the last time I was in. Thank you JC read more
