The customer service was fine. The serve time was expeditious. The restaurant was clean and the Sundays were good. The chocolate sauce used was a tad bit watery, consistent wise, from what I'm used to my Sundays being topped with, But the chocolatey flavor was still there. I know it's a bit of a watered down complaint (no pun intended) that's why I feel it didn't warrant the removal of a star for this review. I also know how somewhat overly critical I can be about how my Sundays are made. One other thing I liked was the Bogo special they had going on with certain menu items, one of which being their Sundays. so the fact that I was able to get two for the price of one, definitely put a smile on my face.

Ice cream, service and ambiance were perfect! Staff was friendly and professional. Service was fast and efficient. Ambience was calm and they played some great music, not noisy. Their bathrooms were very clean. This spot is definitely going on our favorite places to eat list. Thank you.

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.

Staff were nice, dogs allowed inside, enclosed patio in the back…read more I didn't eat but would come back for drinks

(4.25 STARS)…read more Memorial Day road trips always seem to create the best random discoveries, and Pit Stop Bar & Grill absolutely delivered. Tucked away off Victor Street in Barstow, this was a fun find while driving back to Los Angeles from Vegas over Memorial Day weekend. Big props to Haley M., who was basically running a one-woman show and somehow kept the entire place moving with a great attitude and solid service. That alone made the stop memorable. The location has a cool, laid-back vibe with plenty to keep people entertained while grabbing food and drinks. They've got two billiards tables, a dart board, and all kinds of classic bar games, board games, and card games, including UNO, which is a family favorite. They also have several televisions. The food was all good too. I really enjoyed the Green Chili Burger, and everyone else in my party seemed genuinely happy with their meals as well. I felt they were trying to nickel and dime when I got the bill, i was charged for a side of ranch, a side of BBQ, and had no idea I was being up charged for the onion rings. I didn't say a word, but it hit wrong with me. .75 points deducted. What especially stood out to me, though, was the Memorial Day place setting displayed near the front entrance honoring our veterans and fallen heroes. It was simple, respectful, and genuinely touching. See my picture. That detail said a lot about the heart behind this place. If you're making the Vegas-to-LA drive and want something more memorable than the usual freeway fast-food stop, this place is definitely worth checking out. Great atmosphere, friendly energy, and one of those spots you end up talking about later.

A PHENOMENAL stop on the way to Vegas…read more Great pizza, great entire menu and delicious beers. Decent service as well.

The last time I'd been out to Barstow and stopped at Oggi's, was about 9 years ago. My family went…read morethere and the food was actually relatively good. This time was quite different. My wife liked the tortilla soup, but the spaghetti and meatballs wear subpar. Now I guess, I shouldn't expect good Italian food from basically a sports bar but I'll have to say it just was relatively bland. I ordered the habanero pineapple boneless wings thinking they would be spicy-- they were not. Now I will admit, I've gotten used to hot sauce so maybe that's why they weren't that spicy. I'm not sure if they're supposed to be soft, but the boneless wings were not crispy, maybe the sauce made the better soft. But, I did not like it, I was expecting more crispy. But again, maybe is this is the way that they're served. The ambience is okay it's a sports bar. Kind of small as well but very busy. The service was great. I was greeted within less than 2 minutes from sitting down, and I had multiple servers taking care of my table. So definitely they're not lacking in service. I just think since the last time I went there and this time the quality of food has diminished.

We asked the young lady helping us for her recommendation, so I went with the oxtails over rice, collard greens, and baked beans. They were so tender they fell right off the bone, and I made sure to clean every last bit that didn't. The gravy over the rice, with just the right amount of heat, was fantastic. My wife had the Salisbury steak with broccoli and yams and loved it just as much. We swapped bites and agreed this was the best food of our four week road trip. Portions were huge and prices were right in line with a typical restaurant, so the value was great too. It was 100+ degrees outside on July 5th, and the staff let us bring our dog Sarah in out of the heat, which we really appreciated. The young lady who helped us was friendly and professional the whole time, and it turns out she has a dog that looks just like Sarah, named Zoey. Small world. If you're anywhere near Barstow, this is a must visit.
