Vanilla cone
Bianka C.

Kiddos and I love fosters freeze, always order their vanilla soft serve cone and husband and kiddos get their twisters!

Vichea C.

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.

Just horrible

Ordered a corn dog and received a burnt one looks like it got bitten as well I'm good off this place never again

Oreo blizzard thing
Ambar C.

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.

Food menu

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.

Menu

THEY TAKE CARD!! This is easily the best ice cream in the area and the nostalgia adds even more reason to come. The menu is huge, and I try to get something new everything. The Pb&j ....OMG!! and the hot fudge brownie will have you rethink how much brownie pieces you can actually handle in ice cream, seriously they load it UPPP!!!

Oreo ice cream
Andres M.

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.

Chicken sandwich
Natalie N.

Such a good chicken sandwich, and they have a drive thru. Great customer service. Plenty of options. Will definitely be back

Outside seating

Each time I stop by , I enjoy a burger and something sweet, this time I got a chocolate shake. The burger is simple buy it brings back memories. The food comes out quickly and looks great. The employee is friendly The service has been very good each time I stop by. They do have inside seats and outdoor seating too. It's a comfortable place to eat

Soft serve
James A.

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.

Triple Berry Cheesecake Twister with chocolate dipped cone
Jack A.

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.

See all

1st timers today, and will def not be our last visit…read more Shout-out to the Yelp reviews lead us to this Amazing Smash burger joint. Our order: -Onion rings (the right batter to sliced onion ratio & delicious seasoning); -the french fries- crispy and the right amount of salt seasoning *dipped into their Jalapeno ranch, and you will be left smiling!* -the Works: What a burger! I love Portabello mushrooms, caramelized onions, and Persian cucumbers, so when I read that on the menu, I knew I had to order this, and I am not disappointed! This hit the spot. The smash patty topped with my favorites made for a perfect burger filling party. -the Don Chendo burger- the salsa Don Chendo on a jalapeño-Cheddar bun - culinary innovation at its finest! For non-spicy eaters like myself, you can eat this. This is definitely tolerable spice with a delicious flavor that overrules any "heat". The buttery, softness of the bun with the cheddar and jalapenos melted into it compliment the flavors of the patty, red onions and Chendo sauce. Having a burger is a rare craving for us, and thankfully our taste buds led us here this time that we did, because we were left, not only satisfied, but can safely say that this is one of the fewest Exceptional burgers we have tried thus far. Burgers are huge too! You def get more bang for your buck here. Staff was very welcoming, friendly and attentive toward us. We truly appreciated the warm greeting and them making sure we felt comfortable with their product deliveries coming in/out of the restaurant while we ate. Not too big & not too small of a place. Ample seating booths make for a comfy social occasion. We highly recommend to All! & will return again!

Sideburns is a true hidden gem in Long Beach; conveniently located right next to The Stache Bar…read more I originally came for the Vegan Breakfast Burrito; and it absolutely delivered. Refried beans; crispy tots; vegan cheese; avocado; mushrooms -- hearty; filling; and layered properly. But what really makes this burrito stand out are the house-made sauces. The salsa has the perfect heat; and their vegan dipping sauce elevates the entire experience. You can taste the intention. Now let's talk about the burger. The vegan burger is not an afterthought here. It's juicy; well-seasoned; and balanced. The texture is on point; the toppings are fresh; and it holds its structure without falling apart. You can tell they care about execution. Between the house-made sauces; the fusion flavor profile; and the consistency across both items; Sideburns earns its spot. If you're in Long Beach and want vegan comfort food done right; this is absolutely worth pulling up to.

The Slip Bar is one of my favorite spots, and a big reason why is the atmosphere. Anissa, my…read morefavorite bartender, goes above and beyond to make sure everyone feels welcome. You can tell she genuinely cares about the people who walk through the door, and it makes such a difference. I also love their daily specials -- there's always something fun to look forward to, and it keeps things fresh. The camaraderie here is unmatched. It's the kind of place where you can relax, have a good time, and feel like part of a community. Highly recommend if you're looking for a laid-back spot with great energy and even better people.

Avoid and watch your drinks…read more On Wednesday 4/29/2026 I went to Slip for my fist time to grab a bite to eat. I ordered a 22oz beer and a chicken sandwich. The chicken was all cut up not a whole chicken breast which I should have seen as a red flag. But I tried to enjoy it, thinking positive and enjoy my night. I finished the beer and ordered a small beer but I started feeling really dizzy during this time. And not from drinking. If you've ever been roofied you know this exact feeling. Things are moving slower. You're spinning. You don't have full control. And you could pass out at any second. Thankfully I got home but it continued in a shower I took to try and wake up, but that didn't work. On my sofa I passed out. And woke up the next day still not feeling good. Still needing to lay down and needing more sleep. Another night passed where I slept early. Like I was knocked out. And today, Friday I finally felt like it was all out of my system. And this all happened because I went to Slip. This is not a fluke. It was not an accident. It happened to me and it can happen to you too. It can happen anywhere maybe, or maybe not. But what's for sure is it happened to me there. If you're with Slip and you're reading this, do not try and make me an offer to return. I won't. Ever.
