    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.

    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.

    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!

    A so called 4-piece combo meal.

    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.

    Chocolate Chip Milkshake.

    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.

    Crappy hamburger..the patty is so thin!!
    Samantha B.

    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!

We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon and grabbed seats at the bar. Sam was our server and was fantastic, friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. Her recommendations were spot on. The food absolutely did not disappoint. I ordered the Grilled Chicken Taco Salad, and it was enormous! The tortilla shell was so crispy and well-made that it actually held up for leftovers the next day. The jalapeño ranch had the perfect amount of heat and flavor. We also tried the Drunken Chicken Sandwich. Sam recommended getting it breaded, and I'm glad we listened. The homemade breadcrumb coating was light, crispy, and flavorful without being overly thick or salty. For appetizers, we shared the Fried Pork Belly Bites, which were paired with a delicious coleslaw and a sweet Korean-style BBQ sauce, and the Deviled Eggs, which were AMAZING. They came prepared three different ways, making it fun to try each variation. Honestly, I couldn't pick a favorite. Their beer selection was impressive, and I was especially excited to find Crow & Wolf's Dark Wolf Seltzer on tap, one of my favorites and not something you see everywhere. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and had plenty of character. Even the ladies' restroom had quirky, fun artwork that added a unique touch to the atmosphere. The size and amount of tv's was impressive. If you're looking for a relaxed vibe, great drinks, exceptional service, and food that delivers, I highly recommend checking this place out. We'll definitely be back.

She shrimp taco was on the pricier side as well as the ribeye taco. BUT it was authentic and so much flavor. The ribeye was cooked just right! So tender along with the homemade tortillas, such a skill. The sauces were just the final toping that it needed. The food here tastes so authentic and special. The ambiance was good, there was plenty of seating and they did have a bathroom. Which is such a lifesaver if you go with kids. Our bill did come out to a bit over $100, considering we also got a Jarritos, a Coca Cola bottle and a regular drink. However it was worth it.! Specially when you still have food to take home for dinner. We did get lucky with parking and we were able to get a spot right out front, however if you go on a busy day, it'll be quite the walk. But that's the whole point of eating down town, to enjoy with area and have good food.

But I do get it delivered and it's never disappointed. My burger always comes hot and fresh, the meat still steaming, the cheese nice and melted and the bun a pillow and soft brioche. You can add whatever you want to your burger with an added surcharge for bacon, egg and some other items. But all the veg is free! Don't sleep on the (Stacked) Sauce, it's the house made sauce that's tangy, spicy and flavorful! Do be warned, it does have a kick! But if you like a little spicy, then it's gonna win you over! Crinkle fries are my "go-to" especially with the Stacked sauce. They have other options like onion rings, curly fries, cheese curds and so on. All look like great options but they definitely are more expensive through delivery around $7 to $8 dollars. Would love to see some shakes out of this place, hopefully one day. You can get a full combo for around $18 and that for the double. Trust me when I say, the burgers are huge! They will fill you up with a single, but if you're really hungry go double! The double is a monster! I called cause I forgot to add my sauces the other day and the girl who answered the phone was so sweet and understanding. She didn't have to help me out but she did and added them to my bag, huge win for that! Truly appreciate this place for the consistency and the quality.
