    Every time I go to foster freeze, I always get their burritos or corn dogs or chili cheese fries... It's nostalgic for me. I grew up near Santa Cruz where Foster freeze was a thing so being that I have one here in Tracy I was super excited to go. I decided to venture off and get a classic with cheese guys. This is not a classic... This is a junior burger with cheese at best. My patty is nonexistent when typically a classic is bigger... just disappointed cause I love foster freeze but to pay double what a junior burger costs for a classic and still get a junior burger with cheese not the business...

    This place is great to take the grandkids for a cheap, old fashioned outing. $3 BLT with generous bacon, $1 corn dog. Good shakes and malts. They have outside seating for taking your dogs. It's always cold inside in the winter, so bring a jacket! $2 chocolate dipped soft serve cones.

    Great food at a reasonable price. Has something for everyone including the kids. Even have desserts like banana splits.

    Crispy Chicken Burger & Regular Burger (both with fries) DELISH!!

    My family and I finally had time to visit this cute lil' place around Sunday noon. One thing I noticed was how there was plenty of parking and no line. Even if there was one person or two ahead of you, the cashier was ready to take your order quick and move on to the next person! You have the option to order inside or outside. There are lots of tables outside and inside, so either choice works. Also, there are people available to take your order no matter which area you choose. When I looked up Fosters Freeze, I found out that they were known for both their burgers and cones. For that reason, we couldn't resist not to try the other items on the menu. From Malts/shakes (Oreo, vanilla, snickers, and more) to desserts (banana split, cones) to burgers and sandwiches, this place gives a diner vibe despite its fast food presentation. Everything on the menu is fairly cheap or affordable. The cones were only a $1-2 and you could get them swirled. I ordered the "Crispy Chicken Burger" with their crinkly fries and a vanilla cone. The chicken burger was around $6, which wasn't too bad. I really liked how they wait to give you your cone because they know it'll melt and you wouldn't get to enjoy the taste. Talk about smart business (; Their chicken burger was impressive for a place like Fosters Freeze. The chicken wasn't salty and greasy. The freshness of the lettuce mixed with the mayonnaise balanced with the fried chicken. The bun wasn't too special, but the main focus was all on that chicken! The fries were something else. It's definitely a staple to get a sandwich or burger with fries and i was GLAD I did. I don't even know how to describe their fries. It had so much flavor and was cooked until it was literally golden brown. It had a bit more depth to it than your normal McDonalds fries and actually tasted like they put more work into it. As for the vanilla cone, the price was a tiny bit more expensive than your dollar Ikea cone. But let me tell y'all, the quality of their soft serve is worth the extra penny. It's not super sweet, which made me enjoy my cone a lot more. It has that hint of sweetness though that'll make you keep licking it. Although the color is a bit more yellow than white, it remains thick and light at the same time. You take one look at it and you're like "Can I even fit this in my mouth?" Despite all the good things I have been saying, you're probably wondering why I knocked off half a star. Just know that not a large amount of places like Fosters Freeze match up to their quality. This place has no serious problems. The banana split we ordered, however, wasn't amazing. My dad was craving it, so we had to give it a try. It was placed in a plastic container and it seemed cheap. It was definitely something you could make at home! However, I really liked the pineapples they give you at the bottom. I thought that was pretty unique.

    Review #1,064 Posted on 6.4.26…read more We came here for dessert after dinner on Friday night the 29th. This spot is located on Naglee right next to Kid's Care Dental. I wasn't sure if this was a chain or not, but looks like it's not. It's got its own unique style of stuff and ways of serving ice cream. 100% the way to go is to get the 4 flavor sampler for $9.75, the scoops are basically normal size. My favorite ice cream I tried was the Taro Mochi, it had little chunks/bits of chewy mochi in it, so good. They've got a countertop to sit at with connect 4, tic tac toe, and other games to play. This place is awesome, will be back for sure.

Really loved…read morethis place, my wife and I would drive 25 minutes here and it was my favorite spot in the 209. Everything I tried here was incredible, and my wife loved all the dairy free options. The cotton candy and bubblegum ice creams were some of the best I've had, the cookie butter cream soda float is great and creative, but my favorite are their shakes- same with my wife. I tried white chocolate cookie butter, oreo, and my favorite was chocolate, but they were all really good. Anyway, the last 2 times before my last visit, on their regular shakes, and on the dairy free also, something was off. I've seen other reviews mention this recently. For us, both times they tasted too milky. We hoped it was just a fluke. Our last visit we decided to get ice cream, and it looks like if I go into too much detail they will try and get this removed. I wonder how many other reviews they've done this for? Tthe ice cream was pretty good, but it didn't hit the spot like it usually does. Also dealt with a very rude and unprofessional employee- first time I'd seen her there. All the other employees there have been very friendly and professional. I probably won't be returning, but I think 3 stars is fair. I don't know if they changed their process, made ingredient changes, or if employees aren't making things correctly, but there's been a drop off in quality and customer service.

On my first visit, I tried their ensaymadas (oreo and green tea) and a flavor of each of their silvanas (Oreo, Ube, Pistachio, cashew). Again, never had these before and we were excited to try everything. Delicious! the silvanas are perfect tiny snack-size and tried different flavors. On our second visit, I got their 6" sansrival cake (half pistachio/half cashew). It's like a bigger version of the silvanas. On our first visit, they had them in the case and said those are pre-ordered and looked so pretty in the case. Good to know for future visits so I called but they did not answer. I know it's bc they were busy w/customers! so sent them an Instagram DM and were able to accommodate my same-day order request. The staff was friendly and welcoming. A line quickly formed after we arrived, so you know they're good! I look forward to future visits to try other items. I saw they have coffee too and a corn dessert. At the time of this review, they're opened Friday, Sat, Sun only. check out their IG: ellis.creamery I hope they can open daily so I can stop by when I get a craving!

    I cannot say enough good things about Christina and Sweet Arts. She created this absolutely…read morebeautiful cake for my wife's baby shower, and I genuinely could not have been happier with how it turned out. I gave Christina our vision--a soft wildflower and rainbow theme for welcoming our baby girl--and she brought it to life beautifully. The pastel rainbow, flowers, butterflies, soft pink and green details, and the "Welcome Baby Girl" lettering all came together perfectly. It was elegant, sweet, and whimsical without being overdone. It honestly became one of the centerpieces of the entire shower, and we received so many compliments on it. Beyond her talent, Christina was just an incredibly wonderful person to work with. I came to her on a relatively quick turnaround and with a budget I needed to stay within. She listened to me, worked with me, and was extremely accommodating throughout the entire process. There was never any pressure or difficulty--just kindness, cooperation, and a genuine desire to make sure we were happy. What impressed me most was how humble she was. Christina is clearly very talented, but she carries herself with such kindness and sincerity. You can tell she cares about her customers and understands that these cakes are attached to important moments in people's lives. This one certainly was. We are preparing to welcome our baby girl, and this shower meant a great deal to our family. Christina created something that fit that moment perfectly and will now be part of our memories and pictures from that day forever. I sincerely hope Sweet Arts continues to grow and thrive because Christina deserves it. When you find a small business owner who combines genuine talent with this level of kindness, patience, flexibility, and care, you want to see them succeed. If you're in Tracy or the surrounding area and need a cake for a special occasion, give Christina at Sweet Arts an opportunity. I would recommend her without hesitation. Thank you, Christina, for helping make such an important day for our family even more beautiful.

    Updating the pictures for full transparency…read more I wanted to update my original post with additional pictures so customers can clearly see what they could potentially receive when purchasing this cake. When we first sliced the cake, the center was visibly dark, as shown in the photos. My wife paid $120 for this very small cake, and for most people, $120 is not an insignificant amount of money. My intention is not to bash the baker or the business. I am simply sharing my experience and the actual condition of the cake we received so that other customers can make an informed decision. What has been most disappointing is how the situation has been handled. In my interactions with the owner, I have not felt that responsibility was taken for my concerns, nor was I offered a resolution to make the situation right. Instead, the responses have felt defensive. As a customer, I believe concerns like this deserve to be acknowledged. Sometimes a sincere apology and a willingness to address the customer's experience can go a long way. Again, I am sharing the updated photos for transparency. People can look at the pictures, read about my experience, and make their own decision.
