It ain't Fanci, but it doesn't need to be. Fanci Freez, you are my go to. Need an all American drive in burger? It will tickle your fanci. Want some of the best onion rings Boise has to offer? Don't Freez, you will miss them. This is my all-time go to for a down and dirty drive in style burger. Best of the genre in the valley says this guy. The burgers are great, and the shakes are some of the best around. If you are in the downtown area and you want a burger this is a must stop. Go get you some and, as always, eat up Boise. read more

Fanci Freez - Double cheeseburger, onion rings. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boise, Idaho

This local gem has some of the best ice cream cones! But today I stopped in for a quick lunch. I went through the drive through. Was instantly greeted! Placed my order and headed to the window. The gentleman working the window was so nice! Repeated my order and got me all squared away. Asked if I wanted any sauces. Food was made and he thank me and I was on my way! For lunch I got the kids cheeseburger meal. I would love to eat a big burger but I know i would not be able to eat the other half. So the kids was the perfect size. My burger was great! The patty was seasoned. The cheese was nice and melted. The pickles were tasty! And the bun was fresh and soft! I added some ketchup to that bad boy and it was perfect. The fries were so good! They were fried golden but not too hard. They were crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. The fry sauce with the fries will always be my favorite! I didn't take any food pics cause I was driving but this was absolutely the perfect sized meal for me! Fanci Freeze will always be a perfect spot for cold treats and now a juicy burger! read more

Fanci Freez - I love all the stickers at the window - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boise, Idaho

I have lived in Boise for 10 years, and finally tried this place. Honestly so good. Such a simple classic burger, but also feels better than if I were to eat fast food. The fries are soft on the inside crispy on the outside. They have so many options for drinks including milkshakes an soda combos as well as soft serve ice cream. Well priced. A burger and fries is only $9. They also have a drive thru. Outdoor seating but no indoor seating. Feels like an Idaho staple. read more

This location is a Boise classic, been here as long as I can remember! Simple drive thru and walk-up window with a few tables on the patio if you'd like to stay and eat. Classic American diner/fast food and pretty much a combination of soft serve you can imagine- dipped cones,milkshakes, banana split and many MANY toppings to choose from. Service is quick and friendly, ambience is "retro", and a really fun plan to grab some eats and treats! read more

Fanci Freez - Banana Split - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boise, Idaho

The Oreo Coated Twist Cone looked and tasted great! I got the small cone and it was still huge (see my night pic). I came expecting to get a Flavor Burst Cone, which are still advertised online. However, they're not on the in-person menu and the counter server said they no longer offer them (stopped a while ago). I was a little disappointed because the Cotton Candy Yelp pics looked unique, but I was still super pleased with what I got. Also, nice staff that took orders and delivered cones. ... And to Nick the Manager, i was at the State St Boise location. read more

Fanci Freez - S'mores shake - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Been coming here for years and always loved it but had the rudest customer service today. We were not greeted at all when coming up to the window, only got an eye roll and a gesture to hurry up and order. Wasn't busy at all, then turned the iPad to us and said "sign it or don't I don't care". Then walks away. So disappointed since Ive always loved Fanci Freeze. Said her name was Quinn read more

Friendly service with a smile... The quality of the food seems to have gone down. I ordered a Mushroom burger with blue cheese crumbles, I received approximately 6 very small pieces of mushroom and no blue cheese. My burger was very dry, think Sahara desert. read more

Perfect way to end our trip to Boise! For some reason there are barely any soft serve spots in Phoenix, so I hop on any opportunity I can get to have some soft serve. My husband and I got extra small swirl cones dipped in chocolate. My husband wanted butterscotch but they were out. Was very reasonable price wise too and loved the retro feel. Very nostalgic! read more

Ordered a basic hotdog that supposed to come with ketchup, mustard, and relish on the side. This is what their picture looks like on Door Dash. This is what I got!! Lesson learned! Trust me, when I work another flight here to Boise, I will NEVER order from this place again!! read more

Me and my family decided to come to Fancy Freeze for dinner and arrived at 8:45 and no one took our order until they came on the thing at 9 and told us to order, so we tell them there order and as soon as it hit 9:01 they told us they could no longer serve us due to closing at 9 than put a giant sign behind our car so we couldn't even back out of the drive through. And the lady was very rude! i will never come back. if i could give 0 stars i would. read more

A good ice cream to grab in a hot Summer although the parking is hard. They do have a drive-thru service. Friendly service. A bit disappointed the blast machine was down when we were there, but that gives us a good reason to come back again. read more

Fanci Freez - Boston shake - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boise, Idaho

I stopped in for my first soft serve of the spring. Dang, they really do make the best ice cream in town here. Not too sweet, good vanilla flavor, smooth and creamy texture, that light, whipped mouthfeel. On one of these first sunny days, sitting on the patio and having a cone feels like being 8 years old and knowing what really matters in life: blissful happiness and an ice cream. read more

My wife and I went to try this place after seeing it advertised on a local instagram page. Overall it was good and the food was fresh. Service was also great. I got the double cheeseburger with tots which they have labeled as "gems" on their menu. My wife got the bacon cheeseburger with the waffle fries and I should've gotten those instead cause they were good. Their buffalo ranch sauce is good. We also got the extra small cones with Oreos and they were big so I could imagine what the large looks like. Go check this place out when you're in the area. read more

After going to Fanci Freez for their homemade fingersteaks for years, I took some first-timers there for lunch today. After getting my order, I was so disappointed to see a small portion of same old, cheap, pre-made fingersteaks, straight from the freezer bag to the fryer. They don't make their fingersteaks anymore. I'll never do that again. Stick with the burgers and ice cream. read more

I've never ordered regular food here, just ice cream cones. I grew up on Tastee-Freez, which invented soft-serve ice cream and may have dipped them first, too. That's my favorite at Fancy Freez: a twist cone dipped in chocolate. My only gripe is that they're not consistent in how they dip. A properly dipped cone has the ice cream sealed in the chocolate or other coating. That prevents the ice cream from dripping all over you. Sometimes, they get it right here and other times there are gaps which cause a mess as the ice cream melts. read more

Fanci Freez - Dipped cones: peanut butter coating on the left and chocolate on the right. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Fanci Freez is a really great retro burger joint vibe with some unique local offerings! You can either go through the drive-thru or park and order at the walk-up and eat at their outdoor dining tables. It's a really great spot to grab some comfort food at with some friends or family! One of their famous offerings is the "Boston Shake" which is like a shake sundae with two different flavors of ice cream. I got the Boston Shake with cookie dough on top and coffee on the bottom. The cookie dough came in big chunks on top and was obviously really delicious. We also got the huckleberry burger with tater tots and the orange cream soda. The fanci soda creations are unique soda combinations. The creamsicle we got was a mix of spite, orange, and vanilla. The huckleberry burger was really sweet but the bread bun was top notch and I loved adding a bit of their fry sauce to the burger. We also tried their tater tots with the fry sauce and it was of course, delicious. This is a great spot for all things burgers, fries, shakes and sodas! read more

Just ordered a hot fudge Sundae and there was literally a tablespoon of hot fudge and all the rest is ice cream. Terrible waste of money. Even further in and there's no secret hot fudge! Will not be returning, sadly it's not the Fanci Freeze I grew up with. I'll take my money to another locally owned place like Hawkins or Westside read more

I wouldn't agree that Fanci Freeze whips up the "best" milkshakes in Idaho, but there is no denying that they aren't delicious! For a very reasonable price as well. This so-called small was big enough for both my husband and I to share - plus tax it was only about $4.00! Today we tried a huckleberry milkshake. I wasn't too fond of the huge chunks of frozen huckleberries, but the sips of without were yummy! Super thick and creamy, and reminded me of summers in McCall after going to Ice Cream Alley. I would definitely recommend Fanci Freeze to anyone looking for a wondeful sweet treat! read more

This place is just a simple fast food joint that serves decent ice cream and fast food items such as burgers and fries. I did like the ice cream and decided to get some fries to enjoy but to be honest the fries weren't that great and had some coating on it which personally I don't like. I just want fries that are fried and doesn't have breading on it. The soft serve was okay but not something I would go back for. The price was also a bit high but since we are experiencing inflation, I guess it makes sense. I don't think I'll come here again just because it was mediocre at best and I'll probably never go back to Boise for any reason anyways read more

The shakes were really good & the food was ok, the onion rings were really good. But a very young staff & they put 6 burgers 4 fries an order of Chx tenders & mozzarella sticks all in one bag and when I picked it up the bag ripped open from the weight of everything. I didn't know everything was in there until after it was on the floor the young staff didn't even help to clean it up, my wife did!! Then it took forever to get new food & never got my fries!! Oh well next time we visit Boise we will probably just come for the shakes..... and there should be someone who is older to watch over the very young staff. read more

Sooo yummy! Loved the bread for the burgers and the shakes were amazing! I would definitely come here again.

I took two bites of my bacon cheeseburger and found a brown straight long hair Really disgusting read more

Omgsh! Sooooooo delicious! Happened to drive by this place yesterday and decided to check it out. We got a bacon cheeseburger, a huckleberry burger, and a large waffle fries.

Photos of what is displayed on the website are false advertising. While the food tasted good, the portions were smaller than expected, especially for the price. My mushroom burger was missing cheese and lettuce, and the blue cheese on my huckleberry burger wasn't included. read more

we came, at 8:45, a few minutes in, we then ordered before 9:00. they then said they turned off their grill, and they were done serving. absolute terrible service. while the crew member put a closed sign behind us, youd think they'd serve us before they block us in with the other 2 cars who got to order. do better fanci freeze. west side got our service. read more

Fanci Freez is an old school retro ice cream place with good ice cream. Definitely a cool place to grab an ice cream cone. I definitely recommend here. read more

The workers are nice some needs more training and more knowledge on the products that you have

They were super accommodating with our custom ice cream request and had good suggestions for flavor combos. The servings are huge. Milkshake was bomb, very thick with lots of brownie chunks. There were lots of people in line at the drive through, but no wait for walk ups and plenty of seating. read more

Ice cream lacked flavor, great selection of shake flavors (if only they made them stronger). Was told that I couldn't get peanut butter dip & nuts, but they could have suggested a sundae instead of a cone and increased the sale. Really nice outside seating areas & convenient drive-thru. I guess they deserve another chance. read more

Food has always been good. However, you guys really need to take the option for your burgers being available as lettuce wraps off your online menu. I went there today specifically for that because I am on a low carb diet and the guy told me you didn't have lettuce to do a burger wrapped in lettuce and they could put it in a bowl for me. Not a huge deal, but it was irritating. I got my wife some fries from you guys and then hit Carl's so I could get a lettuce wrapped burger. read more

After going to Fanci Freeze for decades, it has a new "large" ice cream cone in a cup. It used to be about 4 inches of ice cream. Now they charge you for a large in a kids meal cup. Woman at window then argued it was the same size as always but she "mashed" it in the smaller cup. She finally agreed to redo the cones. Hope she did not spit in it. read more
