Folks , it's a fast food place. Review it accordingly This is the "taste" of The Beach Boys. They hung out at the (now closed) location in Hawthorne but Fun,Fun,fun was about that "hamburger stand". And the vibe here is so cool , 60s retro. Get in the mood The burgers are super greasy, so don't eat in your car. The staff are super nice and I cant believe how much French fries you get with the burger Yea, I loved the nostalgia. read more

Fosters Freeze - Vanilla cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Carson, California

This is our second visit to this location and it's 1. Affordable and 2. Good ice cream I really like that they have a drive thru for convenience with kids and as soon as you make your order, the ice cream order is prepared asap- it was out in a few minutes. My husband got the vanilla cone, my youngest the chocolate cone, my oldest got the oreo mixed blizzard looking ice cream (small) and the amount was do much! Definitely a bang for your buck! I got the hot fudge sundae (small) - mine was the most expensive but it's okay! Total came out to $19 which is not bad considering you pay way more at other places. read more

This location takes credit cards (including Apple Pay) and has a drive thru. It is farther away and not an area you want to walk around afterwards. But at least you can get your ice cream without a trip to the ATM. The service is quick, and the workers are nice. It is kind of hard to hear the drive thru intercom so be prepared. read more

Have driven this Fosters Freeze for years finally stoped by for Oreo milk shake and coffee flavored milk shake. Perfect treat to cool off during this Southern California heat wave. Both milkshake has a nice blend of sweetness. I didn't hav to request for less sugar. Creamy smooth Oreo flavor milkshake. The coffee flavor was a new twist I had not tried before and flavor was just right not too strong, but the caffeine will keep you up if you're not a regular caffeine consumer. Also ordered their French fries, I know I know crispy French fries is a really good compliment with the nice chilled milkshakes. If you haven't tried it, worth taking a shot at it. The owners were so friendly. Apparently they operate this location and the other location in Old Town Torrance. We love Old Town Torrance and look forward to visiting that location as well. I especially appreciate seeing Cambodian own businesses near us in the Southbay. read more

what can I say about Fostee Freeze (yes I say it Fostee) lol i think many people do and this places still maintains the nostalgia of when we were kids growing up in the 70s-90s and getting some delicious soft serve or ice cream it just hits the spot to have dipped cones or sundaes or splits or whatever you want. sure its always been on the pricier side but honestly for that once in a while old fashioned treat its worth it to get and enjoy! you got food places within this strip mall and there's another one across the street so lots of eating options and then come here for dessert! read more

My kids were craving ice cream and this location is super close to our house so we decided to try this place. I was kind of hesitant at first cuz of all the bad customer reviews and wrong pricing, whatever but still gave it a try. We ordered from the window, not drive thru also. Kiddos ordered like the second from the smallest cup oreo ice cream which is kinda big honestly, and I ordered a small pineapple sundae. I paid $22 for all three. I think price is fine, right? The cups were big in my opinion and they're full of ice cream, all the way up literally.. The oreo ice cream was really good, kids loved it. Also my pineapple sundae was good. Simple vanilla ice cream I guess, topped with some type of pineapple topping/puree, whipped cream and nuts. Really tasty. Guy who helped me seemed ohkay, I asked him which sundae flavor was the best he couldn't really tell saying everyone likes something different. Guess he wasn't wrong lol I just needed help choosing a flavor. Anyways didn't see anything wrong with the people working there, not that I interacted with any more of them but yeah. Outdoor sitting is really convenient. Lots of tables and space for kids. read more

I never heard of Fosters Freeze until a few months ago but I always wanted to come here and check out all the ice cream options. If you love Shakes and Burgers this is the perfect place. There is so many options at reasonable prices and the food comes out relatively quick, so far I had a Oreo and worms and dirt twister and they have all came out nicely and perfectly mixed. The cashier workers are nice and the overall location is clean. Definitely worth checking out on the weekend when you want something sweet. read more

First time at any Foster's Freeze: OK food, good soft serve, OK but confusing prices, adequate service. Stopped by here with a friend on a Tuesday afternoon. She mentioned that there used to be a lot of Foster's Freezes in Long Beach, but they closed down. This one in Carson (independently owned, franchised from the original Fosters which opened in 1946) seemed to be the closest one still open. It was going to be a final stop for ice cream during a lunch excursion, but we ended up having eating here too, since our initial restaurant was closed for a private function. Fosters Freeze Carson is a walk-up (the dining room is closed) with open air seating, and a drive-thru; we were the only non-drive thru customers during our stay. The menu and prices reminded me very much of the other burger restaurants scattered throughout this area. Interaction is done through narrow windows...definitely got the sense it is locked for safety concerns. Result is, it's a bit hard to communicate and EVERYTHING has to be individually asked for (i.e. there are no condiments, utensils, nothing available self-serve). I got the vibe that the cashier wouldn't appreciate me asking for free water. We ended up getting two burgers (one single cheese and the other a double cheese with bacon), and a side of chili fries...costing about $22 (so it's not cheap). There is a 3.5% surcharge for use of credit/debit cards (they prefer cash). After about 5 minutes, the burger was ready and I picked it up through a similar window. The burgers are large (area of a BK whopper), with very fresh toppings and well constructed, using thin from frozen burger patties. The double filled me up, enough to not really eat much of the fries (it was OK...not a fan of the Cincinnati-style chili they used). I went back up to get two soft serve cones, both of them dipped. They have two choices of soft serve: vanilla and chocolate (SM: $2.14 and L: $3.39 with them being dipped with chocolate (think Magic Shell) as an option +$1.98 each. It's funny...the small ended up being a bit short...but the large was very (too) big...there is nothing in between. The soft serve itself (vanilla) was OK, it was a french style with egg yolks (at least I hope that's why the ice cream was yellow). It wasn't very dense, resulting in it melting pretty quickly...I couldn't finish it. Next time, I would just get a small (no dip) for $2.14 and pay cash. read more

My partner and i have been wanting to try this place out since we've moved in to the area. We like places like sonics and DQ but there aren't any around so today I ordered their triple berry cheesecake twister in medium, my partner ordered a small chocolate dipped vanilla cone. We both love our sweet treats! My partner really likes the quality of the vanilla ice cream and I love the little cheesecake bites in my twister(it also has berry pieces). We were the only ones in the drive thru so service was quick and nice. read more

Very rude customer service. They refused to take our order unless we went through drive through. What if a vehicle isn't an option? That's rude especially for those who may have disabilities!! read more

The place rocks! I would recommend their hot fudge sundae, and their burgers and fries. I came here to try it and it really is great. To my surprise the burgers are really good and their fries to. It's also really not that expensive. Will definitely be going back. read more

Always good they need to update the prices on the menu. (Expect to pay 2/3 $ more than listed) Service was good. It was busy always a throw back when I go! read more

Every time I'm in Carson I always make an ice cream stop and Fosters always comes through. Nice spot that's been here for a while. Their burgers are huge and delicious. I always try different twisters. The pineapple Sundae with peanuts is a must! The workers here are very nice and straight to the point. If you eat @ this location try not to get too stuck @ the menu plastered all over! So much to choose from! read more

I have always loved Fosters freeze. The ice cream is just fabulous. It does not compare to the new stuff going on. This is a old classic and it just doesn't fade. The service. Here is impeccable. Also, the food is great. It is just a typical fosters freeze and an added bonus is that it's a drive-through I would say with the hot weather going on. This has been a lifeline for me and thank God for this Fosters freeze because I absolutely love their ice cream and also the extra food that they serve as well which is delicious. This one in particular is really good! read more

Been coming here since I was a kid what can I say the food is delicious which consist of burgers and fries hasn't lost its taste. They also have soft ice creams of all sorts and it's been in our city of Carson for over 60 years. The staff is very friendly, plenty of seating. especially outside and they finally accept debit cards. If you want a simple, but very tasty burger highly suggested, and the price is fair. MY RATE IS 8.5 read more

Terrible costumer service. Just from observation -The ladies in the front are super rude and unfriendly-unless..... They didn't greet us. The food was not prepared well either. They charged extra dollar for cheese. Didn't want to give us napkins when there was five of us. This place is the worst foster freeze. I will be contacting a health inspector because it was not very good . The food is terrible and service. read more

Stopped by and only drive thru was open as I stood outside the counter for about 5 minutes and nobody seem to come up. All the windows were closed. Their kitchen must have moved to the back as nobody came up to serve ice cream read more

WAY TOO EXPENSIVE horrible rude service. there's some supposed facebook scam going on with fake coupons and im not sure if they are cheap and dont want to honor the coupons or what. the portions are not worth it at all either. its easy to let go of the nostalgia and just go to handels read more

This is still a good option for that old school soft serve feel. The staff and family that run the business are friendly. It's quite easy to park in the lot in the back, and there is both a drive-through and an outdoor seating area. read more

Horrible customer service. My sister and I came to get a sundae and 3 cones for our family after Easter Sunday dinner. I saw an advertisement in the outside showing the White Chocolate Ghirardelli sundae, twister, and shake. Not sure which one was the one that came in the cup, I proceeded to tell the employee "I'd like the one in the middle, in the cup, please". She then asked, "which one, we have 3 types." I then repeated, "which ever one that comes in the paper cup." Apparently that triggered something in her so bad that she had to raise her voice at me, repeating that they had 3 types and that she couldn't see which one I was pointing at. Mind you, it wasn't busy at all. There wasn't anyone else in the ordering area but my sister and I. So at this point I just said Twister and hoped for the best. Also, I could CLEARLY see every ad from the outside as they're pretty much see-thru. My sister then ordered 3 cones. Our total came out to be more than we expected so we simply asked "what was the price of the cones?" And instead of just answering the question, she rips the receipt from register and shoves it in my sister's hand and proceeds to make our order without saying anything. Talk about having rude customer service. At the end, the cones were smaller than normal and I didn't even get the item that I wanted. But obviously there was no point in arguing with someone who can't answer a simple question. If it's not too much of a hassle, go to the location in Old Torrance. Sooo much better than this location! read more

I have been coming to this foster freeze since I was 12 years old. And the same people still work here and they are just as nice as I remember them even if they don't remember me. I recommend their big boss burger it's my favorite and it's one of my top ten favorite burgers. I also like their banana splits and banana shakes. Dipped cones are a must have as well. Highly recommend read more

What's better than Fosters Freeze... a Fosters Freeze with a drive thru of course!!! Yea really this one has a drive thru. Anyway Fosters Freeze is great for lunch/dinner and frozen treats. You don't have to take my word for it come check it out. My top soft serve picks: #1 - Hot Fudge Brownie Twister: vanilla soft serve mixed with brownie chunks and hot fudge served in a cup. #2 - Hot Fudge Brownie Parfait: a tall cup with multiple different layers of vanilla soft serve, hot fudge and brownie (all separated) with a dollop of whip cream and nuts to top it. (As you can see I like my fudge brownie) #3 - Chocolate Shake: your classic shake that's great when your on the go or just feel like having something simple yet satisfying. Oh and important note this one is cash only so your gonna need your cold hard moolah. read more

Important note: Cash only I came here to grab some breaded mushrooms and they didn't have any. *sad panda face* So I opted to go with a normal burger and fried zuccini. The total cost for this was $6.50. The burger was average. Although they give a lot of zuccini, it was just way too salty. It was bad enough that they didn't have the item I really wanted and even worse was that the food was below average. read more

Nostalgic place that still good, my kids ordered the Oreo blizzard and was so pleased. It was tasty and they enjoyed it.

Lol the layout of this fast food restaurant reminds me of a scene from the movie Boys in the Hood. Hahahahaha I hope you know what scene I'm talking about. Anyways the burger was sooo good. I wasn't expecting that Krispy chicken burger to come out of this spot. No offense... hahahahaha I wasn't even going to eat here but my homeboy asked me if I've ever tired Fosters?? I said no, we were on our way into Yoshinoya( which is right next to fosters). He's like you have to try it, I thought they were only in BG bleh blehhh blehhhh blehhh So we straight did a dee tour and went to Fosters. Bomb! read more
