    Foster Freeze in Pinole, a great spot to get burgers, fries, hot dogs, shakes, twisters, soft serve, and other. You can order through the window or inside to dine in, I always order through the window. There are times they get busy like during lunch hours, probably when school gets out, and times when they have old school car shows ( which is pretty cool seeing some of the old school cars in their parking lot). My go to when I go are the fries ( love the crinkle cut fries), some of their twisters, steak sandwiches, and don't forget the old fashion burger. Fast food places like McDonald's, Jack in the Box, and/or Burger King ( I feel going down hill with quality), Foster's are made to order and you get that nostalgic diner feel.

    Half & half. Large cone.

    Okay, I've only ever gotten dessert here. And how can you mess up a soft serve cone?? Got a half & half. Delicious Walk up to the window, get greeted and order. Easy peasy.

    Cheeseburger and fish and chips

    Yes it might be old and need renovations but the service is so welcoming and the cashiers are so friendly. It was my first time at this restaurant and the food was actually not too bad i was shocked. The prices are also not too bad so i will definitely be returning.

    Fosters Freeze has always been a treat for my children and I as we don't live in California and would only get to go there when visiting my Dad in Pinole. Now my children are adults and they still have to stop by for some nostalgia and a sweet treat whenever they are visiting their Grandpa. This trip to Pinole we were able to take our grandson for the first time. He got kicks out of the place and devoured his food. That's 4 generations of Fosters fans over here, ya'll! It's a great place to take your kids, highly recommend.

    Texas toast cheeseburger- they forgot to add my burger patty.

    The Texas toast cheeseburger I ordered, was missing the burger patty. Imagine making it all the way home, only to realize the burger was missing the actual patty.

    Chicken sandwich was kinda sad

    I was at Menchie's in Pinole on a warm weekend. It was around 80*F at 8pm, and the place was…read morecrowded. It was kind of funny how nobody was going in Ike's Sandwiches next door. Everyone just wanted something cold from Menchie's. It was great, they had all my favorite flavors! I served myself some Pineapple, Mango, Passion Fruit/ Orange/ Guava, and Choco/Vanilla Twist. I added hot caramel topping. Price per ounce: 80 cents/oz (Sept 2025) Menchie's Frozen Yogurt is a self-serve, pay by weight, fro-yo shop. There's a cashier island and the fro-yo machines run along the back wall. There's a toppings counter that includes: wet, dry, liquid and fresh fruit toppings. I'm guessing there was a 2nd person working, because how could one person run the shop and keep the place so clean and organized. The young lady working the checkout was very polite, and even tried to sign me up for Menchie's Rewards. BTW, the frozen yogurt was very good. I was a bit amazed that it wasn't runny on a such warm day. The fro-yo had a thick and creamy texture. Not icy at all. The fruity flavors was cold and refreshing. The choco/vanilla swirl (twist) was creamy and smooth. It wasn't too sweet. FYI: There's 7 machines, 2 flavors each + the center swirl valve. So there's 21 flavors to choose from. Tables inside, and several tables outside on a small patio. Free parking I would return if I'm in the area again.

He loved coming here and became friends with the owner. I started coming back more often after he passed and it brings me joy to see that it is still operating and that the owner is still there behind the counter and working alongside his family. Double Rainbow has been a local staple of San Pablo for many years and has contributed and served the community with great hospitality and delicious ice cream flavors! My go-to is the cappuccino frosts and the strawberry cheesecake ice cream (cheesecake pieces and real strawberries)! I put my bf on the cappuccino frosts and now we drop in every now and then for some! We have become semi-regulars now haha. I'm also very happy that they brought back their lychee nut ice cream (with real lychee pieces), another favorite of mine! I haven't tried their ice cream cakes recently, but remember getting them for my birthday as a kid, along with their clown cones! Their prices are also very decent. Definitely stop by and check out this local ice cream spot!

I'm currently boycotting that national pink and brown chain with the number of flavors for some extraordinarily rude service in the neighboring town. I had currently supported a local ice cream shop over in El Portal and was satisfied. I didn't want to go that far so I remembered Destenny's which is near where I live. Quaint small shop. Kudos for re-imagining a small space for a local business. Not many flavors but a good quality product in Mitchell's. The lady was very nice in making my split. She went out of her way to accommodate my need to transport my split in a container. My only issue is the split and a Red Bull came to $20 (plus apparently $1.50 for using a card). I didn't trip and immediately paid it. Now the split was awesome. But I got home and was like waiminute...$20?? The split from the other local place was $9 plus tax. The chain woulda been $7 plus. Was the split $15 and the Red Bull $5? Was the split $10 and the Red Bull $10. Ironically, I was contemplating going to Safeway and getting the fixings myself but ultimately decided naw, I don't need to spend that much, plus remember, we're supporting local. I got a loyalty card and I DID like the product. Maybe I'll try again and get a price point before I order
