Always stop here when in Visalia. Love milkshakes and deep fried burritos. Service is quick and friendly

Came by here to pick up a burger for my mom. She loves this place and their "old timey" burgers! They were much better than In-N-Out -- I hate shoestring fries! These guys do it right! read more

When you've been to 90% of the other burger spots in town, but you still haven't found that (1) mom and pop place that really hits your foodie goals.. Foster Freeze was ours! We were both craving some soft serve, but really wanted something "other than McDonald's." We started looking around for Parfaits and behold! Fosters Freeze! Going to compliment the staff here! Went on a weds morning/afternoon that point around 11:00am/12:00pm. The gentleman who took our order and helped us at the window gave the best customer service! He was attentive, helpful, asked if we needed napkins, straws, etc. super kind and positive attitude! Already happy with the results from coming here! The burger was really good! It reminded me of old school Foster Freeze, but they changed the bun up! It's almost like a potato bun and a brioche had a baby! It was soft yet a nice density to hold the meat and toppings. The burger was "exactly" the mom and pop burger I was looking for! Fries are AMAZING!!! The BEST crinkle fries in Visalia! They have the right amount of seasoning, always crispy the way they should be! Chocolate Dipped Cone.. BOMB!!! Nice hard chocolate coating surrounding the most delicious soft serve! I got a small and it was more than enough! Pumpkin Milkshake.. Meh! I would pass on this. It really didn't taste like anything. Not like a pumpkin pie, not like a milkshake, just lacked flavor. Props on the Parfaits here! I didn't take a pic but it was covered perfectly in hot fudge, the soft serve "again" amazing! Overall I would say give this place a shot if you haven't been here in a while or if you are missing that "nostalgia" and are craving a mom and pop burger like I was! The fries alone are a must stop for! read more

I hadn't been here ever after living in Visalia for over 49 years. I got a cheeseburger, fries and a shake with butterfinger. The shake, they call it something else, was really good. The burger was just okay nothing special. The girl at the drive through acted like she didn't want to be there. "Smile girl" you're selling ice cream! It's fun stuff. read more

This place has been a staple of the community for years, ever since I was in highschool. We went there this past sunday to grab a parfait after a sunday night class we had. The service was great, until they forgot to add the fact that if we took off the top of the parfait it would leak everywhere. And when I say everywhere, it leaked all over my pants and my car. I had top throw it away. I didn't even make out of the parking lot. I had literally pulled out of the drive-thru and parked and was going to eat it there, but it was pure milk. This was my worst experience ever here. Yea not sure if I will be back again. read more

My husband and I had not been here in ages. At least 5 yrs. The customer service was good the restaurant was clean. I ordered just a regular burger no lettuce. The patty was SO freezerburnt I couldn't even finish it. My husbands patties also tasted old. The ranch is homemade and delicious and their fries are always good, but- We will stick to the ice cream next time. read more

went into the store at 10:04 pm... all staff was sweeping and mopping and the neon open signs were both still illuminated and doors unlocked so we waited and waited to order and after about 3-4 minutes of staring at them a girl came towards the counter, mop still in hand and we asked what time they close. she stated that they closed at 10 which was odd to me being as it is mooney blvd, and a friday night... but we said okay and left. as we were getting into the car and pulling out of the parking lot, not one but three other cars pulled into the parking lot and into the drive through. i jumped onto the site from google as my bf was driving and was extremely irritated to find they do not close at 10pm on fridays .. according to their google they close at 11pm on fridays and saturdays... why are the employees lying? or if newer worker... why are they so misinformed and the other two employees that were both within earshot not correcting them? the open signs were on and all the doors to the business were unlocked .. very very unprofessional. my bf comes here at least weekly as i live nearby... guess we will take our business elsewhere since the emplloyees at this location dont seem to eant our business ... shame, the owners/franchisees are losing money thanks to their staff. read more

This shit was so fucking ass, I got a banana split and like literally how can you mess that up, they gave me a fucking puddle of shit don't go here read more

During my youth, Fosters Freeze was like the I-n-O of the Central Valley of California. I was excited to see that there are still a few of them around. When I came across this location, I decided to stop in and give it a try. Granted, it isn't the old school walk up of yesteryear, but the food did take me to back in the day. The crinkle cut fries, double cheeseburger and diet coke sure hit the spot on that hot fall day in Visalia. Service was a bit lackluster, but the food more than made up for the poor customer service skills of the staff. I probably won't go back, but it was a nice try. read more

A Foster's Freeze "twister" was a staple of my childhood, so it was only natural that this be my first stop for a sweet treat when in Visalia. Unfortunately, either my standards have gone up or the quality has gone down. My concoction was sort of a mess and nothing like the quality mix I remember munching on as a kid. The biggest issue was stale candy ingredients. I got vanilla ice cream with a mixture of butterfinger and snickers. I watched them scoop crushed up chinks of the stuff into the ice cream in the back, which didn't look especially appetizing, and it turns out it wasn't. Some of the candy bits were so stale they were impossible to chew and lacked a lot of flavor. Plus the thing was so sloppily made that half of it was constantly dripping out the sides of the lid. I've been here twice over the years and both of my twisters were the same, so it's safe to say this is how they come now. In conclusion, great concept, poor execution. read more

service was great and food is even better. ice cream & fries are also the best around.

Kid making my strawberry malt did not know what he was doing. I don't know if they changed their strawberry puree but I couldn't drink it. The whole thing tasted like the strawberry swirl in cheap ice cream. Way too sweet and fake. It's still in my freezer. read more

I absolutely LOVE Fosters! Now granted I mostly come for the ice creams but the kids that work at this fosters are always pleasant and they have great customer service. Right now they only have the drive thru open but I only go through the drive thru anyways. The wait doesn't ever bother me because it's the same anywhere you go in a drive thru like in n out or farmer boys and for me, the twisters here are worth it. They are HUGE and sooo filling! They definitely do not skimp out on the mix ins! Also the dipped cones are a great size. The small is a medium and the jr is the small. They make everything as soon as you order it md they have the window where you can see them in the kitchen getting down! I recommend to give this place a try! read more

Stopped here to get a quick bite on my way through the Grape Vine. Delicious burger couldn't go wrong with the avocado and bacon. The fries here are the best, well seasoned and hot! I'll remember this place next time I'm passing through read more

This place is horribly ran. I've been going here for years and this is the second time I've had a problem and they are terrible at handling guests. Apparently their system changed and they no longer will put cherries on a kid's ice cream. I offered to pay extra, pay for a side, whatever I needed to do and they absolutely wouldn't accommodate so I had a crying 5 year old because of it. When I asked to speak with a manager they sent a shift lead. She was extremely disrespectful and basically walked away with no resolution. They wouldn't give me her name nor a number for corporate. Then they threatened to call the cops on me. Absolutely the worst customer service experience I've ever had in my life. I will never go here again and I will discourage anyone and everyone I know to avoid them. read more

If you want overpay for crappy over cooked food this is your best bet! Ordered a 4 piece chicken strips combo for my son and I swear there were a total of 10 fries with this $10 mea!! A total rip off. You are better off going virtually anywhere but this place. Used to live Fosters Freeze but this location is trash. read more

I asked for extra resses in my twister that I was charged an additional $2.50 and there is barely any in there not even the normal amount let alone any extra that I paid for I mentioned this to the guy at the window who was rude then just walked off. Definitely won't be going back. read more

Loved, loved, loved their Chocolate Chip Milkshake for years!!! A vanilla shake that they added the chocolate shell they would use for dipped cones and blend. So good!! Today for the first time I got a chocolate chip shake and it was mostly chips like that is used to make cookies. Some people love chocolate-- but this was way too much!! Looked like cookie dough-- and won't go up a straw. read more

People like to bitch and complain about this place, but I have always seen it with either a line inside or at the drive-thru. The food isn't my favorite, but it's still good to eat and the prices are fair. My favorite thing to come for are the Twisters, despite the high price on those items specifixally. I have never had any issues with bad customer service with the staff. Quite the opposite, actually, as the staff were very patient with me when I was having card and phone trouble. If you're looking for a quick dessert or a fresh burger, I would recommend you give it a try. read more

Customer service was fast and friendly. The inside was clean, so no complaints there. The food on the other hand was disgusting!! except for the fries. The hamburger was literally the same size as the kids meal hamburger, and guess what?? So were the fries!! Both hamburgers lacked taste, and the sauce was gross. I can't believe I spent 13 dollars, on 2 meals, and I ordered the cheapest ones. I will definitely Not be returning! read more

When I first walk in I really don't want to see some kid sucking on his finger from making a window customers order and then handing it off to someone else to take my order and make my shake. Rip to this place. won't be back for a while and suggest avoiding having the blond touching what you want to eat read more

Nice customer service, OKAY to kinda bad burgers, but great ice cream. It is also pretty overpriced for the quality of the food. Worse than most fast food places, but okay overall. If someone were to buy me a meal from here, I would definitely eat it, but I would probably never buy one for myself. I would get ice cream from DQ if I were you, too. The great customer service and the great ice cream is the only thing making this restaurant 3-stars for me. If either bad customer service or bad ice cream, I would rate this two stars. If both were true, this restaurant would get a one-star. read more

The wait was long..... 40 Minutes long in the drive thru and that was not the issue, we understand that we're in a pandemic When We arrived at the window they notified me that they had no Pepsi, and the dr freeze tasted nothing like dr. Pepper. We were not giving any sauces. I asked for mustard and napkins and the employee had an attitude. I will not be going back. read more

drive thru ordering was a pain! i have had to wait 15-20 min. at this location before but today it only took 10. they do not carry deep fried zucchini or mushrooms. THE ICE IS NOT THE AWESOME SLUSH STUFF THAT WE LOVE!9 The chili fries were so so, they didn't even dice the onions. good fries The Burger was Delicious! so...... service sucks, burger good, wait bad and other menu items are okay. read more

The people that work here are awesome!!! However, they need help! They are understaffed and I believe the prices are kinda high compared to other fast food. read more

It's 7:59. Friend had to use the restroom so we stopped here, I saw all the posters for their ice cream and said we needed to try them ALL because they looked fire! the door was locked and dude working just watched and went to the back so we dipped. Looks fire though read more

Not here to really comment on the food I just wanted to give some praise to Dustin Johnson. Very friendly and was hustling and working really hard. I appreciate that he washed his hands (and really good at that) after using the register and serving us ice cream after our meal. This kind of service is lost nowadays at most places but this man is definitely getting it right. I really hope a manager sees this because he deserves some praise for a great job all around. read more

The food is very good. The service is awesome. I especially like Dustin and Ariel and Dora. Always friendly and willing to make my order just right. I highly recommend and will continue to go back. read more

The last few times I've came I ordered twisters. Both times the candy tasted stale and old. I ordered a snickers twister and all the candy was stuck in one big clump. Not a fan anymore. read more

I used to love eating here. They have great vanilla cones, tasty fries, and delicious sundaes. But I will no longer eat here again after my last experience. I was eating lunch with friends one day. I had a chili burger. I bit into it, tore back the paper then nearly hurled. A LONG STRAND OF BLACK HAIR DANGLED FROM THE OTHER END OF MY BURGER. HOLY CRAP. No. That did not just happen. My friends were grossed out. I can't believe I actually bit into that. I didn't want to cause a scene, so I had them remake it for me. No biggie. But I still ate from the chili that that hair was in. DO NOT EVER ORDER ANYTHING WITH CHILI ON IT FROM HERE. Chances are, it'll come with free long black hair! read more

They tend to be pretty darn good most of the time. I would go here over In N Out anytime. They have amazing crinkle cut fries!! Sometimes they get the order wrong but never really wrong only something small. Otherwise I would HIGHLY recommend this place for delicious burgers!! read more

This location had horrible customer service. The first time I went, getting something from the drive through took about a half an hour even though there were only two cars ahead of me. I decided to give it another shot today and was once again disappointed. The guy who was operating the drive through seem annoyed when taking my order and was very short with me. After that, I only recieved a "here" when he was handing me my order.Furthermore, the dipped cone I ordered was incredibly messy when it was handed to me and I had to use a few napkins just to make sure Chocolate (which wasn't fully hardened) didn't get all over my clothes. I'm glad other fast food chains are now adding dipped cones to their menu so that I don't have to visit this location again. read more

I love the soft serve ice cream and crinkle cut fries from here. The best!

Anyone ever go to Foster Freeze on Mooney Blvd and hear the terrible buzzing and humming machine noise? Well I just did and the manager on site says she doesn't want to talk about it because she is off the clock. The supervisor doesn't want to talk either. High priced for junior sized food. If I return, I am expecting to pay a nickel a napkin. read more

Great food, and the best freezes. only thing is that the prices are a little high going around $15 a meal but other than that the foods great. read more

Terrible, greasy double hamburger. Not to mention way overpriced for what you get. No wonder there were no customers. We won't be returning either. read more
