    Worst banana split I ever had
    Chadie G.

    The staff service is alone 5 stars! Great kids and happy energy. The place is quite old, retro however you want to call old. One of the oldest establishments in the area... but still a community favorite. They could use some maintenance and some real ice cream for the banana splits. They use soft serve ice cream for the splits and it was a melted mess within seconds. It Was not appetizing...the onion rings were also not that great, dry crumbled within the rings.

    Foster's Freeze in Napa is like walking into the past! If you're looking for a nostalgic diner/ice cream shop, this is the right place! Aesthetic - 7/10 As mentioned above, very retro. We didn't stay to eat at the restaurant because we were just picking up dessert so my appreciation of the decor is limited but seemingly not super high quality. Staff - 10/10 The staff that helped us order was very sweet, she helped us pick the right order for us and was patient and upbeat! What more can you ask for when trying out a new ice cream spot? Our order: - Root beer float (8/10) - Hits the spot! Exactly what you're looking for and nothing more. Would order again. - Hot Fudge Sundae (7/10) - Not the highest quality ingredients, the fudge wasn't my favorite style but overall it was enjoyable! This spot won't blow you away, but it will hit that sweet spot :)

    Hamburger is good and love the fries. Been there twice for Car & Cones with the Napa cruisers. Nice event to chill out on a mid week evening. Service is always good and attentive.

    Love the retro vibe.

    I really wanted to love Fosters Freeze and as a frequent visitor to Napa, finally decided to stop in for some ice cream one night. It's a one and done place for me, which is sad, because the vintage vibe is charming (but the ice cream was awful). First, there's a customer-unfriendly sign that greets you at the register: you have to pay cash or there is an oddly specific 3.84% charge on all credit card transactions. This is listed as a "convenience fee," which rubs me the wrong way all around. Convenient for whom? We placed orders for two ice cream sundaes and waited. And waited. And waited. They forgot about our order! Finally we got our ice cream and it was disappointing. The ice cream had an odd color, flavor, and texture, and the hot fudge was right out of a can. The toppings (nuts and whipped cream) were too sparse, and the portion was crazy small considering the price. Now I'm sorry, but two ice creams shouldn't cost close to $15. I can't imagine coming here with a bunch of kids, it's not family-friendly pricing at all! The only thing I liked about Fosters Freeze is the interior. It looks like a 1980s ice cream parlor that has been frozen in time. Think dark red leather booths, a checkerboard floor, and mismatched stained glass light fixtures. But even the cool retro vibe can't erase the high prices, the ridiculous menu surcharge, and the bad product.

    Swung by this location, it isn't our first time though.. Had to order chicken sandwich and fries WITHOUT salt! I have issues with salt being added to the fries.. (didn't eat the chicken sandwich).. I made it clear should be without salt although I am suspicious about it as I don't think fast food chains will take some time to change where they cool their fries.. Made it clear over and over again... When I left and dumped my fries from which was in a small white paperbag to the take out box, boom! There goes the pounds of salt.. Due to health issues why people request this limit and yet the worker behind the cashier did not even follow instructions... You will have to put the name of the business in jeopardy.. Never again. Disgusting!

    Got an Oreo milkshake... so yummy and classic! They have a 3% fee when using a credit card, so I'd recommend coming prepared with cash.

    The cutest Fosters Freeze location! I came here for dessert last month. The interior looks like a retro diner! I loved the vibe inside! I got a worms and dirt twister which was yummy! it comes with crushed Oreo and gummy worms! The lady working there told us that the store has been there for many decades and her daughter now owns it! I'll for sure stop by again when my sweet tooth hits!

While working in St. Helena, I could never find an opening in a reservation, so here was a great opportunity now that all of us are retired. Our friends live in Clear Lake while we live in Vallejo, so this is a central place to meet. It was the best decision I made because every year for the past several anniversaries, we've gone to Cache Creek to C2. Their food and service is excellent because my husband enjoys poker, but I thought a change of scenery would be nice. And it was! Firstly, it was very kind of the staff to present us with a greeting card signed by everyone -- how sweet and thoughtful! We will cherish that! Secondly, we were very impressed with how the food/wine was locally sourced. It was incredible to hear the story about Custom, the Bull, and taste the difference between the Highland beef compared to Angus. Our waitress was "Erica S." She was engaging, personable, and very informative. My husband and I would definitely like to return to return to experience the dinner menu! We and our guests had the following dishes: Artichoke appetizer Arbororio Biscuits & Gravy Two Cheeseburgers Three Bloody Mary's Farmstead Margarita When they found out it was our anniversary celebration, the house sent over four glasses of complimentary champagne and a dish of dessert -- again, very sweet and kind of them I now understand why so many crowds flock to this restaurant! It's well worth the wait! If you have not experienced a meal there, you must definitely go now!

    I was really excited to try this restaurant for the first time, especially for Mother's Day, and…read morewhile the food itself was excellent, the overall experience was disappointing enough that I would not return. From the beginning, there seemed to be constant miscommunication between staff. We specifically booked an outdoor reservation and were seated inside instead. While mistakes happen, it set the tone for the rest of the evening. The bigger issue involved the wine and corkage fee. We purchased a bottle directly from the market associated with the restaurant and were told by the employee there that the corkage fee would be waived if we bought their wine. When we sat down, our server Sara told us that was not true and that we would still have to pay the fee. I explained what we had been told, and when she asked if I wanted a manager involved, I said yes. Before the manager even arrived or clarified the situation, the server opened our bottle of wine. In the silence and confusion, I reasonably assumed the fee issue had been resolved. Then the manager came over and told us we would still be charged and implied that nobody at the market would have told us otherwise. The way it was handled made my husband and I feel like we were being accused of making the whole thing up, which was especially upsetting on Mother's Day. At that point, the bottle was already opened, so we were essentially stuck paying the fee regardless. Between being seated incorrectly, the poor communication between employees, and how dismissive the situation felt, the service completely overshadowed what should have been a special meal. The rest of the service we felt ignored and there was minimal effort to accommodate. Great food alone is not enough to justify returning when the hospitality experience feels this frustrating and unprofessional.

This very popular counter service cafe is very popular for good reason. The food is amazing. I am so happy to we chose to go here while visiting Napa for a few days. It's worth visiting Napa just to go to Winston's in my humble opinion. The waits can be long to get in and order and maybe even long to get a table, but it's worth it. Also, this place is a great community establishment and helps out the local pet shelter to help find homes for dogs. They even have coloring pages with crayons of adoptable dogs at the Napa shelter. My wife and I ordered two breakfast places and two pastries on our visit. The salmon salad plate was our healthy plate, which was really tasty and fresh. The true standout for me is their pork Belly Loco Moco. I never seem to love a loco moco plate, but I like them. They are typically served with a beef patty. Let me just say that this is a perfect plate of food. The pork belly melts in your mouth and has a delicious hoisin sauce drizzled on it. The eggs and pickled veggies god great with the pork belly, but there is also this wonderful gravy on the plate which is like a chicken gravy. It's so ridiculously good. I can't say enough good things about this plate and how much it works together in balance and harmony. We also tried their toasted Coconut donut, which is a glazed yeast donut with toasted coconut flakes. It was very good! But the dessert standout was the chocolate pistachio muffin. This was so moist, buttery and rich with chocolate and nuttiness. So delicious! I also want to add that I love the ambiance of Winston's and its lovely decor. This is a real gem of a place!

As for the food, I'd give it a 3/5. The chorizo in my omelet was overly salty, not in a seasoned way, but genuinely too much to enjoy. The potatoes also tasted like they had been fried multiple times, possibly to reheat, which left them with an off flavor.

I pushed my soup aside but no one checked back until my lunch mate finished. When the waiter came to clear the table I asked for a to go and thought he would ask if there was anything wrong. He did not so I told him the Pho was served luke warm so I did not eat it and that no one had checked back or even passed by us or I would have sent it back to heat it up.

They have a diverse menu with flavorful food and great cocktails. When there is a hiccup in service or the food there is a genuine concern. Sometimes it's caught by them and others it's brought to their attention. It's how things are dealt with when those mishaps happen.
