    I hope they stay around forever. A piece of history, some good old fashioned type of drive in burgers and desserts The Triple berry twister was delicious, some fruit to not feel as guilty haha even though you're eating a whole cup of sweet ice cream. Plenty of tables inside and outside though most people eat in their cars or take home

    Came by for dessert the other night and it was a tasty experience. Parking was available in the private lot. Dining is outdoors with on the covered patio only. Ordered with the uniformed staff at the counter and my order was ready within minutes. Ordered the kids sized chocolate dipped vanilla cone and it reminded me of my childhood. The vanilla was creamy and the chocolate dip was a messy treat. Staff provided additional napkins and my hands were still all sticky. Perhaps disposable gloves would have been helpful! $3.22 for a kids sized chocolate dipped vanilla cone. They take credit cards!

    Been going to here for years, it's been here for years with different owners. What is here now is local and always the best. Food here is always warm, fresh and crispy when fried. Frozen stuff does melt but is melting. Food is affordable and delicious classic American dinner style foods. I like their hot dogs, their fried food is great don't miss out. Service here is friendly, easy and accurate. You can wait in your car or find a seat, still able to hear. There is more outdoor seating, cleaning wipes, inside is classic looking with seating. Parking is plenty, when it gets busy it can be harder to find on the streets, but there is another lot in the back of the store. Overall, it's the nicer FF. I would recommend. Always coming back here.

    Fosters Freeze is a really nostalgic feeling kind of burger restaurant. It's got a sort of classic American drive-in vibe to it that is kinda fun. Unfortunately, the building is a bit worn down. Definitely seen better days. That said, the burger was very solid, and the milkshakes are killer. Tons of great flavors, and they even blend in real fruit. Well worth the tiny bit more money to upgrade a combo to have a milkshake.

    An old fashioned burger joint that's been around for nearly 80 years a true icon serving the best burgers and fries been coming out here for the past 10 years. Loved the cheeseburgers, fries and chicken tenders. Best to come by early and avoid the lunch crowd ample parking no dine-in but they have an outdoor patio and benches. Even though prices have gone up but still reasonably price loved the hot fudge parfait and twister ice cream definitely my go- to for a quick meal.

    I always come to foster freeze for soft serve ice cream, and fries for snacks. They do have an extensive menu of burgers, ice, cream, and fries You order from one window and get your order from a second window when your number is called. The staff is friendly and efficient. There is a small parking lot in front of the building and a small number of tables outside for you to sit. Some customers just enjoy their food in their parked cars. The indoor seating is closed as it's dark and I see chairs stacked on top of tables. It is a very good place for dessert, I usually stop by when I have carvings for soft serve ice cream especially on a hot day

    I honestly wouldn't come here for anything besides dessert.... After a not so good dinner experience for my toddler, I hopped on Yelp to see what was neighboring so I could quickly grab a burger for my hungry kid. Fosters Freeze popped up as being pretty close so we went with them. Purchases included: -Kid's cheeseburger meal [comes with small fries and small drink] -Worms N' Dirt Twister -Chocolate Sundae The cheeseburger would have been doable aside from the un-fresh bun. With my daughter naturally a lazy chewer, her bites caused for her to gag. I ended up having to removed the buns and had her eat around the dry areas of the patty. Fries were good- love the fact that they were crinkle cut fries and they weren't overcooked and hard. The fountain drink was the worst I had ever had [ not sure if the issue lies within the 7-Up only] Someone needs to either give that machine a DEEP DEEP CLEANING or they need to reassess the syrup/ingredient ratio. Desserts were good and the presentation was exactly what I expected. 2 stars overall. Can't see myself wanting to return.

    I was really craving some ice cream mid afternoon and saw Fosters Freeze was nearby with plenty of dessert options. They offered a new dipped waffle cone with peanuts which sounded exactly like what I wanted. You can pick vanilla, chocolate, or a mixed swirl for the ice cream flavor, costing a little over $5. It was quite messy to eat since it was melting quickly, but it definitely hit the spot. The peanuts are a nice touch and added a salty, nutty crunch. Fosters Freeze offers quite an extensive menu and the workers there are all very nice and efficient despite the consistent busyness of customers and orders. There is a good amount of parking available and the lot is kept clean. I don't think you're able to go inside the restaurant but there are a few tables outside for dining.

    Hot fudge brownie parfait
    Sydney J.

    I stopped by here on an evening looking for a dessert. I decided to go for the hot fudge brownie parfait since it seemed like a nice way to get both chocolate and ice cream. It also comes with maraschino cherry on top. However, since the menu photo didn't show that there were any nut pieces on it, I didn't think to ask if there were nuts, and so it came with peanut pieces on it. Unfortunately I am allergic to peanuts so I was only able to get a small taste of it. I am sure it was delicious as a whole, but I would recommend if you have allergies, be sure to ask about the ingredients ahead of time. I wish they also listed the ingredients on the menu, or at least some common allergens.

    For some reason, I always drove to the Downtown San Jose location of Fosters Freeze and completely missed that there was one in Milpitas. I have definitely missed out on this closer location but that might have saved me some inches on my waist. For what it is, I do believe this place is a great place to pick up some delicious fast food (especially their soft serve) for a reasonable price. Even after the inflation, I still think their prices are fair. We got the banana split (~$7) and a small peach sundae (~$4) and felt that was about right. I also like how if you pay by card, they do not have that ridiculous 18% minimum tip - 25% minimum tip button you see so common nowadays. Just some quick tips: 1.) Location has a good amount of parking and is easy to drive to in my opinion. 2.) The indoor seating area is closed but there are an okay amount of outdoor seating. It's not the cleanest but it'll do in a pinch. I saw a mix of people eating at the outside tables as well as in their cars. 3.) Since it is "Soft Serve", it melts pretty dang fast especially when its hot. Be prepared to eat it quickly or it'll be a pile of liquid in no time. Quick shoutout to the owners?/staff? at this location. They are super friendly and seem to enjoy that their patrons are enjoying the food :).

    Delicioso!

    Nice old school eatery . Very friendly and kind staff they recently remodel the inside with nice xmass lil houses. Service is great! Food is american old school .

    Cannot go wrong with the place! Never disappointed. I get an M&M twister. Way better than McDonald's McFlurry

    2nd time here and will continue to come back. Recommend:…read moremake a reservation before coming here. It's a decent size restaurant with a private room and seatings inside and outside. On a weeknight, it does get very full as this is the place to go. Spanish tapas and it's quite filling. Service is amazing. The attention to detail that each waiter provides us, I appreciate it. The warm decor and semi open kitchen is very welcoming. Seatings are most for 6ppl so it feels like Europe with a group of coworkers get together for a bite and a drink after work. The Familia wine is a must. It's a great compliment to the meal. Vermicelli paella is out of this world. I know paella, the flavors are there but vermicelli just took it to another notch. It's located in a small plaza. Parking is decent at times but can fill up during a busy night. Quite an unexpected restaurant In this location but it stands out and just amazing .

    Always a great experience at La Catalana. The food and service never disappoints. I love this…read morehidden gem in our neighborhood. We came here to celebrate my birthday on a Friday night. Made a reservation a few days before and were seated right away. We ordered the squid ink paella. So delicious. Our server suggested we order it for 3 people even though we had 4. He was right. It was the perfect portion for the four of us accounting for the other dishes we shared. Everything is always good here. I don't think we've had a dish that we didn't like. We will slowly work our way through the menu because it is so delicious. The perfect, intimate spot for date nights or special occasions. You will be well taken care of. They did sing happy birthday to me but they asked if it was ok before hand. They also brought a special birthday dessert.
