NEW OWNERS! Please support this local small business in our community! They are new owners and extremely nice! I had read on social media that new owners took this place over so we wanted to give them our support and try them out! We are so glad we did! It is too bad that Yelp doesn't provide a new page for the new owners because this place deserves way more than two stars overall. We were told that we could get FREE refills on our sodas to just ask for them (we dined in). I have other reviews stating this was not the case from previous owners. When we picked up our food from the counter she offered us ranch, bbq sauce, and ketchup all for no additional charge! I ordered The Big Boss Combo, the patty was huge! I barely ate a few fries although they were cooked perfectly and tasted great, I was too full from this huge burger! My date got the double burger but I forgot to grab a photo. The dining room had obviously been cleaned (deep cleaned) since the last time we came last year. Nothing new in there just very deeply cleaned! It gives that old school ambiance of an old drive up diner where waitresses came out to your car on skates to take your order. Please give this local small business and new owners a try! They deserve it and you won't be disappointed! read more

I would actually say NO stars. Bought 2 burgers, 2 chili cheese and a BLT. Wow! Worst food ever. No taste and I've never eaten cardboard but I think I did tonight. Never been to this establishment and will not return. This was my experience amd maybe not for others. But very very disappointing read more

Oh my God, nasty frozen hamburger. I will never go back here again. It was nasty. The only thing good there is there sundaes in their ice cream. The food sucks. read more

So this is the second time I've tried this place. The people working have always been nice and helpful. They're getting good help. The food not so much. It's not bad tasting or totally horrible - but it feels like the flavor is missing. The burger I had was cooked fine but the flavor was not there - it wasn't bad - just more like not strong enough - like flavor lite. The vanilla milkshake I had with the burger tasted watered down- need more vanilla. The second time I went I ordered a root beer freeze. The freeze was nice and cold - which is great on a hot summer day - but the root beer flavor - kinda MIA ( Missing In Action). The root beer flavor was very light - it tasted like the recipe would call for four pumps of syrup but only one pump was used. The flavor definitely needs to be bumped up - just plain disappointing. Ambiance was lonely - very quiet read more

New management here at the Foster free in Manteca and so far it has been 100% improvement longer hours better service food is even better.

I don't know his name so that's why I'm putting it out there like that is awesome.

This place takes me back, as a go to spot, my family enjoyed this spot, we got different meals, everything from sandwiches to ice cream, it didn't disappoint. It's an older building, but kept in a fair condition, the new owners were pleasant, and helpful. read more

Foster freeze was a staple growing up for my family. So I thought I'd bring my family now that I have one. This place is never busy and that's for a reason, because it's really bad. The food we ordered was awful, not sure how you can screw up a cheeseburger and fries meal for kids. The burgers tasted really bad and the fries were also not good. Just thin burger that tasted old and disgusting. I got myself a chocolate and peanut butter milkshake and I've never had a bad milkshake. The entire milkshake was peanut butter with actual peanuts in it and not peanut butter. The store itself was dirty on the outside and gross on the inside. There were roaches crawling around the outside of the building so I'd hate to now what's lurking on the inside. To the owner: please sell the place to someone who will take pride in owning it and serve good food and keep the place clean. read more

this is the first time I order Foster freeze from DoorDash, and I have to say I was very pleased that my fries were still hot because that's a big pet peeve of mine so I was happy with everything except the bun was bigger than my burger. They was still good, read more

DISGUSTING!!!!I ordered 2 Cheeseburgers for $10 special. Took one bite and all bread because patty was 2/3 the size of the bun. Took another bite and tasted the "meat" gross. The bite of the bun only was much better. Don't know what "meat" they use or a dirty grill but unedible.... read more

To the owners of this location. Please sell. You obviously do not care. The manager should be fired. I don't blame the employees. They are obviously not trained well. The food here is absolutely disgusting. I have also visited this location for a soft serve. It was also not good. It was melting as it was handed to me. I couldn't eat it fast enough as it melted and ended up throwing it away. The Foster Freeze in Tracy is the bomb. Go there instead. read more

The old school feel of a hamburger stand adds something that a drive thru or fast casual over priced crap can't recreate. We live in a world of pumping out volume and quantity over quaility. "Stop and smell the roses" was a saying I've heard alot as a child but now I know what it means. I stopped and smelled the hamburgers and theses burger stands in small towns on road trips are a piece of history. Foster freeze is more commercial then other walk up restaurants but they do it well. They just need to streamline its menu and not have it so hard to order so the cook can make the food easier as well. Now that I think of it, this was the fast casual originator where you pull up sit down, relax and enjoy the food. read more

Great service, perfect food, and we had a pretty large annoying order. Really appreciate this location.

I was ready for fish but didn't have the money to go to one of the Chinese restaurants that serve fish in the area. I decided to try this place because it was close to the skate park and others in the chain have been okay, if a little expensive. They had a fish & chips combo and I ended up ordering that instead of a burger. The people working there were really helpful and you could tell that they were genuine in their interest to get you what you wanted. It took a little while for the food, which is typical. I'm patient when getting something special. Sadly, it was very, very oily, as if the fryer oil had not been changed for days. It also seemed that the fish might have thawed at one point and had been re-frozen. Maybe, they just aren't busy enough. I want to return some time to try their burgers. read more

Fosters Freeze - Fish and Chips, plus drink for $9.85 - Burgers Near Me - Manteca, California

This place has gone down the dumps. Could use an update instead of looking old and unkept. The man working inside is very unfriendly. Doesn't tell you ahead of time there is a charge for using ATM. Doesn't communicate well. It is very dark looking inside from the window outside. I wonder how clean it is inside. Ordered a large shake to go. The side of cup, and lid had syrup on them, syrup running down the side of cup. Didn't bother to wipe the cup off. Didn't say anything cordial. Zero customer service. No mask , no gloves when handling food. Very expensive for a sloppy shake. Business ethics everywhere have changed. read more

There was mold on my burger. I ordered a kids meal and other things. Thank god I checked the burger before I gave it to my kid and saw the mold. I called asked for refund because when food comes in contact with mold spores ALL is contaminated. They told me to go back for the refund. I drove 2 miles home and another 2miles back and I brought my burgers back to show the mold they refused a full refund and was extremely rude. read more

So we have a Foster Freeze in Los Angeles and their food is delicious just like they ice cream so we decided to give this place a shot. We should have saw the red flag when there was absolutely no customers there. We ordered the double cheeseburger with chili cheese fries and my daughter plain cheeseburger happy meal. Only thing that was good was the soda. Inside needs cleaning. Their cheese burger was so nasty. It was like they cooked the patty in water and not on the grill. Disgusting absolutely never again. How can you fail making a burger. And the chili cheese fries straight smelled like dog food...I will never again. I hate wasting money but for the first time I couldn't eat it. Their trash can is probably full because every one throwing their food away from disappointment. They need to hire some cooks and cleaners or just shut down already. Never again going here. 1 star for the soda read more

This poop food is not ment to be served it will make you vomit. DO NOT EAT. The ice cream will give you a stomach ache. The burgers will make you vomit just by looking at it. read more

The place needs to be demolished and replaced. The owner doesn't wear a hair net over charging for food burritos say 2for 5$ in the window he charged 2.99 each. read more

Burger was pretty good.... Fries were extremely overcooked, no refills on drinks. Place was obviously dirty. Knew that going in. I'd rather eat Burger King! At least they give free drink refills! Will not return! read more

This place is disgusting. As other helpers have mentioned. The mad working has zero customer service manners. He was not wearing a mask or gloves while handling the good. I watched him grab a slice of cheese with his bare hand. The young lady working was also not wearing a mask or gloves. She grabbed a handful of shredded cheese and tossed it on the chili cheese fries. It's so fun down and unkept. How does this place pass inspection? read more

My father in law and son were here today to grab a hamburger. They ordered two burgers and that was it. When they got the total it was $15 so he paid but questioned why so much for just two burgers. The guy said "and you also had fries". They said they didn't order fries and asked for money back but he claimed that he could not refund them for the fries because the register was already closed. After pulling away he recalled that a similar situation happen the last time he was here and was charged for two fries after only ordering one. Seems to be a regular problem.......... (I wrote this for my Father in law who doesn't do modern technology) He called back after the initial rant and said he threw the burger away after two bites because it was horrible....... but the fries were alright. read more

Went to this place in manteca. So unsanitary. Theres no customer service and the guy was answering his personal cellphone with his bare hands and also holding my kids ice cream cone.

Food is alright, nothing to rave about in my opinion. I ordered through Grub Hub considering the Covid pandemic thinking I could just pick up and go. I got there at 5:49 as the app told me my order would be ready at that time. I walked up to the window at that time and asked about my order and the man making the food said "It's a Grub Hub order" and that they would let me know when it's ready. I waited outside in the 100° weather and asked twice about my order. Yet, people who showed up and ordered after me got their orders before me. It wasn't ready until 6:18. First and last time coming here. A business should care about their customers. read more

Sudden craving for dipped cone on a long trip home. No bathroom for customers apparently. Big jug of hand sanitizer on the register instead. Gross. But heart set on a dipped cone, I wasn't willing to just walk away. In retrospect, I should have. Guy comes back with the worst dip I've ever seen. Already leaking all over the place. "I dipped it twice." OK, I'm no expert at making these, but I get the feeling neither are you. Plus 50¢ to use a credit card. Might as well go out of business now, because I'm not coming back. Hit the bathroom at nearby Walmart instead. Too bad they don't have dipped cones. read more

My family and I wanted old fashioned dipped ice cream cones so we decided to try this place. We also ordered onion rings. When we first walked in the smell of the place was a little weird but we still decided to order. My daughter decided to get a cookie dough twister but sadly it had a hair half way into the cup. The onion rings were the worst I've ever had. The oil they were cooked in must have not been changed in a long time. We literally only ate one and throw the rest away. The inside was not clean and behind the counter looked even worse. Will never return. read more

This place doesn't even try or care any more. Went in for dip cones and the cones were horrible. It was already spilling everywhere when the guy handed it to me and the ice cream looked smashed. We ordered a large but didnt look like we recieved a large one. I know these things can be messy at times, but this was just awful. Unfortunately, we won't be returning here. It's too bad about this place, because I lived here my whole life and used to love going to foster freeze. From now on, my family and I will be going to DQ. read more

Me and my boyfriend came here after a long camping trip, our first stop for ice cream in civilization. I ordered a chocolate dipped cone and he ordered a banana split and a fry. My chocolate dipped cone didn't even taste chocolatey , after a few bites I had him taste it to make sure I wasn't going crazy. It tasted off. the amount of nuts on top was so scarce I probably ten small bits . The ice cream itself tasted foamy and almost bitter. His banana split had hardly any chocolate sauce and his whipped cream looks runny, he said it tastes curdled like sour cream and his banana was a bit bruised. The fries tasted like they were fried in dirty oil. First off peanuts are cheap, and bananas are also cheap. This place needs to get their act together because I don't know how they're gonna be able to keep their doors open like that. We have been to other location in Lodi and have never had this kind of experience. We took a few bites and threw it all away. What a let down. Waste of $18 read more
