    Chili Cheese Dog
    Paula-Mertha C.

    I grew up going to the Fosters Freeze location in Berkeley, so it's refreshing to have a location a little closer. My husband and I dined at this location, while we were still dating, a few years ago. Our most recent visit, we brought our little one with us. She enjoyed her first time dining at Fosters Freeze. The service was great. The staff were friendly and patient (since we didn't know what we wanted to order from their menu). They are also knowledgeable of the menu as well. The food was delicious. The chili cheese dog was well-seasoned and quite flavorful. The French fries and chicken strips weee also good. And, of course, a Fosters Freeze visit isn't complete without ice cream. The strawberry sundae was particularly good on a hot afternoon. We'll visit again soon!

    Very professional staff

    Stopped by here on our way back to the Bay Area to get milk shakes. This location sparkles, especially in the inside. Lots of ownership pride! We will return!

    It's been a long time since my family and I visited this fosters freeze location. We decided to give it a try again. We went in for ice cream, but ended up ordering some food items. Food was just OK nothing to rave over but satisfying. The customer service was lacking and the facility could use a good cleaning. Old table and chairs need an update! This place has potential but definitely managed wrong.

    Most discussing place in Vacaville just look around inside and its very dirty and the food is quite nasty and the ice cream at this location tasted sour I tried to tell the jackass working who is not American he just wanted to argue with me. Yet A-lone the bathrooms are a biohazard Also if the guys are cooking don't order food one of them I observed use spatula to cook a hamburger. He then took that spatula and dipped it in oil took that oil and put it on the grill to toast a hotdog bun talk about cross-contamination.

    My best friend and I have a bit of a tradition: any time we go to Vacaville, we have to get ice cream at Fosters Freeze. This place has such a cool retro vibe, but I love an icy treat on a warm evening under their patio lights. I usually get a small chocolate dip cone with their signature curly-q, but today I decided to try a shake for the first time and it is a super generous size for a small--I do wish they offered chunky peanut butter and a larger straw to go with it, though! Service at the ice cream counter can sometimes be slow because there's usually one or two people, so if a lot of people are there for ice cream it can get crowded and a bit backed up. I have never eaten any food here, so I can't speak to that at all. If you love a creamy and almost custardy-vanilla soft serve, you need to have yourself a Fosters Freeze.

    After a long day of work, a nail in our tire, being shut down by many tire shops because they were closed... we got hungry. Enjoyed two nice burgers with French fries and some drinks! First time trying a foster freeze outside of Pinole CA!

    Trip hazard where the burger was dropped

    The Management name was Emily older Asian woman, refused to replace a burger that fell from the table. "Not my fault you dropped it." Half a burger was eaten. I dropped the burger because Tripping hazard rug. Not to mention the place needs a clean, but the staff are too busy avoiding customers in the back who need help. Horrible management, horrible service, and prices.

    Parking lot - all lit up and welcoming

    What a surprising find. We were looking for ice cream...in the evening....after some outlet mall shopping. Fosters freeze was all lit up like a welcoming beacon. Service was quick, interior is clean and Fosters is so so adorable. Ice cream was excellent!

I had their chipotle burger and it was a great mix of salty, spicy, and juicy. My regular fries were good and crispy, which is how I like them. My brother ordered a full order of fish and chips (four pieces) with beer-battered fries and they came out golden. He also got a small side salad with tomatoes, red onions, and croutons. We were very happy with our meal. The service is also great. The staff is friendly, including the cook staff who talked to us through the pass window. They were attentive with drinks, sauces for dipping, extra napkins, and handling our bill. The two TVs in the dining area had a football game and a poker tournament playing, which was a new form of entertainment for our dinner time. The space is adjacent to a bar, which was not boisterous. We probably could have gone into the bar and ordered dinner there too. This was a nice place to have a midweek meal. I will always go back. What a great small business find!

Upon arrival, we were greeted by a couple of employees at the balloon archway at the front of the restaurant, handed each of us a National Tri Tip Day sticker and told about the specials they had for this event: free tri tip sandwiches for the first 100 people, $5 draft beers and a chance to win free tri tips for 1 year. They were decently busy, so we opted to order at the outside pickup window and take our order home to eat. We ordered 4 tri tip sandwiches to take home ($43.21 with tax). When I opened up my Buckhorn Rewards App, I saw that I had an 1 year celebration reward (5oz Burnt Ends w/ Fried Onion Strings), I redeemed that with my order. At the ordering counter the had a QR code to enter their "Free Tri Tips for a Year" drawing, which I entered. Both their tri tip sandwiches and Burnt Ends were delicious! They had some side sauces (chipotle ranch and sweet fire BBQ) that I poured onto the sandwich and then I dipped the sandwich in their Au Jus which was a great combination. I believed the tri tip sandwiches are normally $15.50, but were $9.99 for today's event, it was a great deal. Buckhorn BBQ and Grill is a great place for the BBQ meat lover. Their prices are not cheap, but the quality is there. They do have some deals on the menu and specials on certain days such as $10 for 3 fish tacos on Fridays. Don't forget to join their rewards program for free food.

It's nice to be able to stop along the way and know exactly what you're going to be eating.

    We were in Downtown Vacaville for an event that ended at 8pm and resorted to Yelp for place to eat…read more Falafel & Gyro was still open, just over a mile away; and with a 4.8 Yelp rating, this place intrigued me even more. It was a 5 minute drive, located in a small shopping center. The left side of the store is facing the parking lot while the entrance is on other side. Plenty of parking. We were welcomed by the owner, Safi. Everything on their menu was reasonably priced. I initially ordered the Combo Plate and lamb & beef Gyro; then after I paid, I saw the Philly Cheesesteak and had a craving for that instead. I asked if I could still change my order and pay the difference in cash, Safi changed my order and told me not to worry about the difference. We dined in, a few minutes later our food came with generous portions and absolutely delicious! We were also given orange slices and complimentary baklava. The baklava was so flaky and not soaked in syrup which, I like. I asked if they make their own baklava and was told that it's ordered from Sacramento to support another local business! Thank you Yelp Fam for the recommendation! I too recommend this place if ever in Vacaville.

And delicious, I would definitely get it again. My companion got a falafel gyro, she said it was perfect. The falafel patties are flavorful and not dry, which is sometimes the issue with falafel. The restaurant is comfy, with the cleanest quick-food bathroom I've seen in a LONG time. It was very quiet at 2pm on a Friday. Our food was cooked to order, so it tasted fresh and was hot. We split a piece of baklava. I didn't think I like baklava, based of all of my previous experiences with it. I stand corrected! I'm tempted to stop and get more to take home when we drive back through Vacaville.
