    Fanta Freeze
    Bella G.

    Workers were nice and the food was cheap and filled us up. We got the 2 for 6 and YUMM. Its a cute little route 66 joint. May have to come back for that Fanta freeze.

    Amazing food!!! Holy moly!! Got a shake and tenders delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I was in Barstow for the very first time a few weeks ago and it was a pretty interesting experience. I was under the impression Barstow was a small city but in actuality it's kind of a ghost town. We headed downtown in hopes of getting some food but the abandon buildings and empty parking lots told us hitting a drive through would be the best bet so we are very lucky to come across Fosters Freeze! This place looked straight out of the eighties and even though I've been to California many times, I don't think I've ever noticed this chain until now, so I was happy to check this place out! I ended up ordering the cheeseburger melt combo meal with french fries and the price was pretty similar to most other fast food places. We placed our order and pulled up to the window where we did sit for roughly five minutes, so I'm assuming food is made fresh here and that's something I can appreciate. The food itself was pretty darn good too! The cheeseburger melt was pretty large, flavourful, and tasted really good. The french fries were something you would expect from a small time burger place and let me tell you, they were really good. Overall, Fosters Freeze is a solid place to come for lunch, and definitely a good place to get food in Barstow. Was the place new and updated? no, but who cares? The food was good and it's definitely a golden star in what Downtown Barstow is these days, so if you want some food, come and grab a burger!

    Lots of smaller tables - 7/20/21 - this one's a bigger one

    We were safe after having our tire blowout on the freeway. We found a shop that had tires for our car- they recommended a bigger tire, so we went with them. It would be some time, so we came here to eat. We had other options like a mexican restaurant, but I liked that this was down the block from the tire shop. We each had a sandwich. I had the CA Grilled Chicken, hubby and son had a burger. We split the fries. It was $24.32. We ate inside. I enjoyed it. Hubby and I split the burger and the chicken sandwich. If it isn't over greasy, then it's good for me (ever since I was pregnant, my system doesn't tolerate the greasy stuff). Our son can have regular sized portions now. He loves meat, our little carnivore. The fries were good. There was another party next to us at a table. This was very popular. Lots of people coming inside to order and eat; maybe there were more to-go orders. I think that there is also a drive-thru window. (I didn't think that there was one back home until I checked Yelp, but it's way on the other side of town.)

    People are missing out on America's fast foods if they haven't been here. It's a sit-in/dine-in location with outdoor seats/tables too. Cute bar stools with beautiful/cute vibes. Customers enjoying ice cream cones and happy fast foods. No, you don't need to eat junk foods every day or week in your life, but if you're on a road trip around here, this would be a very ideal stop in a great little section of town. Burgers, hot dogs, potato fries, patty melt, burrito, sundaes, milkshakes, etc. Great selections. Felt like eating the old elementary public school lunches again. Yes, high calories that you can burn on the roads. These old school stops are low in prices and are worth it. Interior was well decorated with Route 66 signs and props. Exterior looks decent with lots of parking spots. Drive in area is always packed, but this street is so much better than restaurants near gas stations. It was very decent, organized & had clean gender neutral restrooms. Good customer service and great management. Near old railroads and bridge paths. Not far from traditional Route 66 Mother Road museum site. It's a very happy American food place. We'll likely be back in another week or two while passing through again. Love it!

    This is a 5-star, small town, fast food joint. The food is well prepared and fresh. The venue is quite clean; a marvel since it is frequented by kids after sports events. The employees are great and take pride in a job well done. Today, I am particularly impressed by Destiny, Matt, Chris,and Anthony. Matt, especially, seems super focused on making flavorful food. He impresses. This go-round, I wish to sing the praises of the oft-ignored hot dog. I am a fan of these creations and Foster's does it right. A toasted bun which Nestle's a perfectly grilled dog, covered in a pile of grilled onions and condiments... Yummy! The espresso freeze is a must have. Forget the $7 milkshake at Starbucks: this is the real thing and, no true comparison. Anyone driving thru Barstow: this place is worth the few minute detour from the freeway. Locals: don't forget that we have a few gems in a sea of sameness.

    Hello, First off, I…read morehave to say that we absolutely love your place! We have been customers for several years. I feel like we need to bring this to your attention. Me and my husband, along with the a group of friends were in your place of business last Saturday night to watch Red Rabbit, who we love and follow. Around 12 or 1230 we noticed some commotion at the bar. Much to our surprise, your "new manager" was causing quite the issue with his boyfriend. Earlier in the night, he seemed to be actually managing the bar, however, at this time he was what seemed to be belligerent drunk. This went on for some time, even continuing out to the patio with customers trying to end the chaos. He was cussing, yelling at his boyfriend and demanding the Bartender serve him another drink. Once his boyfriend, was able to get him to leave, we even witnessed him punching a chair on his way out of the bar! I don't know the owners of this bar. I think they would like to know what happens when they are not there. This place used to be a great place to hang out with family and friends. This is not the first time we've witnessed drunk behavior from this manager. I have to say,, your Bar has a couple really good bartenders. And that is a reason we continue to come back. If this is the way the new vibe is in this bar, we will find another place to hang out. I truly hope that it gets handled. It is not fair to the customers, nor the rest of your staff.

We chatted with our waitress about the upcoming events being hosted such as country night, karaoke night etc. Sounds like a lot of fun. The high desert needs places like this available to hang out in rather than having to travel up and down the hill just to get out for the night. Pool table, darts, and even board games available!

We decided to try a different burger joint vs the typical In-N-Out, McD, Burger King, Carl's, Jack, etc. Boy am I glad we stopped by here. Pros 1) they had a Burger menu, as well as other Mexican food dishes and desserts on the board. Love the variety! 2) restaurant looked clean. I didn't see any dirty tables, trash on the floor, or sticky counters. 3) cashier, Andrea, was very nice. 4) we got the grilled cheese sandwich ($3.99), mushroom burger ($6.50), and a combo which is a bacon burger with added cheese & fries ($10.99). If you add cheese, it's an additional $0.85. For something so simply and normal, these were delicious. Burgers were so juicy, bread soft, meat good, and flavorful. Little one loved the grilled cheese sandwich. Fries were made perfectly. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside and seasoned with salt perfectly. Made me think I should have tried a Mexican dish instead of the mushroom burger. Lol If a burger can be that good, the Mexican dish must be even better. 5) no soft music here. Restaurant is very quiet. The customers who arrived were all very quiet. 6) love how as soon as Andrea see someone come to the counter, she immediately walks to the register to take orders. 7) it's our 1st time there and she didn't rush us or give us an attitude, while ee were still deciding what to order because there were quite a few stuff on the menu. 8) nice large parking lot. Cons 1) bathroom was closed due to them just mopping the floor. But I understand that. Sometimes you want to clean stuff up so you can close and head home after. Versus staying late to clean. Conclusion We actually were very impress with the foods we ordered here. So good and juicy. No complaints. Andrea was very professional. I forgot to take pictures of our foods because it was that good. Plus we ordered to go and ate in the dark in our car. Lol I recommend this restaurant if you're on the move and need a quick grab. We had no issue.

I felt that other foods elsewhere taste better than here. There was so many waiting in line and also waiting for there foods. I do not recommend this restaurant at all. The hype of the chili burger isn't even that awesome. It was a waste of my 2 hours plus for the foods that taste like cafeteria foods from school. It felt so suffocating waiting for our foods since there's so many already who ordered and waiting for there foods.The lighting was bright and it's pretty spacious but felt pretty off with everyone still waiting for there foods for hours. Its very chaotic while several ladies was going nuts because of the wait. While they were complaining to staff when are their foods coming out. We almost got are foods sooner but them ladies when off on the staff for waiting x amount of hours and still didn't get the orders yet. We ended up having to wait until 10:33pm to get all our orders. We requested to get french fries first which was around 10:13pm. But mind you we been here waiting since 8:04pm for the whole order. We finally took our first bite at 10:38pm. We left the restaurant by 10:59pm/11pm. The fries we requested at around 10:13pm was hot and fresh. By the time our whole order was ready to be called for us to pick up at the front counter. The batch of fries we had in the box was already cold & old which tasted soggy and nasty. I don't understand how it wasn't even fresh at all since we were like the last few 10 customers left out of a few hundred after the 5pm - 7pm slot was over. We landed in the 8pm slot with only about 10 customers left or so. I really don't understand the disorganized staff and the orders wasn't coming out on time in an orderly manner. The foods wasn't even completely fresh for the customers to consume. They don't even have an intercom to call out the numbers for the customers to pick up their orders. So everyone was shouting the numbers out. The customers was greedy as well who ordered multiple foods on different receipts. There was some who had stacks of receipts just for the chili burgers alone. We came here for the chili burgers(8), fries(4), Extra Large drinks(2), and an ice cream(1). Most people only came here for the chili burgers only. The cash register lady told us we can purchase a multiple of 10 burgers per receipts. We only got 8 chili burgers since everyone was hypeing how great it was. It was just a big fat disappointment. I can get better at another fast food joint. The chili burgers alone had so little bites of ground meat in it. I literally thought it would be on the chunky side but nope. The beef patty was small like the size of a hamburger at McDonald's. The buns is the only thing that was big which made the burgers looked big. They only put so little chili on each burgers as well. So the ingredients to me personally seems a bit on the cheaper side not worth the time and effort. I really don't understand how people hype how good their burgers are. The burgers and fries did not taste as fresh as I thought it would be. Everyone who's exaggerated about the chili burgers need to rethink it again. There are better burgers that taste way better and a bigger portion. My overall experience was definitely not that wonderful. I personally would not recommend this restaurant in general. The staff wasn't all that nice and friendly. The disorganized staff. The food was not coming out in an orderly manner. There was no intercom to call out your number. Everyone waited too long for their orders. They should had capped the multiple transactions for customers to only one per visit. Then again everyone was so greedy. I just wondered if they all going to eat it in one sitting. We couldn't even finish all our foods which we took the rest home for later in the week. I know we were greedy too but at least we did not had multiple receipts. The food was not completely fresh eventhough we waited for hours for the foods. You literally thought since they were busy shouldn't the foods be hot and fresh too. I'm thinking we literally got others leftovers when they made a mistake for other people ordered. I really am hoping it's not what I'm thinking. After we got back home I had a tummy ache. I ended up having a massive diarrhea. It's a good thing I made it home before it ended up on myself. I'm thinking the chili kicked in. I will not come back here again at all. But you never know I might change my mind in the future. You can give them a try. Be your own judge. Eat at your own RISK. As of now it's a no go for me!!

Cut this place is definitely for people that ride motorcycles or dune buggies or quads. I had been coming to this place on and off for over 48 years. As you might expect it's a little on the pricey side however you have to remember that you are in the middle of the desert, literally. When my friend from Japan came last year, he wanted to go out there that's how famous this place is. Try it if you get a chance, you won't regret it. They open around 8:00 on Saturday and they are only open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I forgot to mention, this place is great for kids. And they had a live band playing which is fantastic since you have lots of outside seating.

Restrooms are clean and plentiful in stalls. Love that inside is very spacious and outside is spacious as well. They're not 24/7, so plan accordingly, 6:00 AM - 12:00 AM (Next day). Another draw to EddieWorld is a supercharger station next to the gas station, competitive charging rates at $0.43/kWh and 18 accessible superchargers. Highly recommend this spot to take a rest stop during any road trips.
