Worst 'hot' dog ever -- dog was whatever temperature comes before lukewarm, and I guess a cheese dog means simply plopping some grated cheddar on it and calling it a day. Guess what, cooks? When that grated cheese isn't melted, it's just gonna end up in somebody's lap the first time they pick up the dog. It's the most simple thing in the world to make a dog appealing -- all you have to do is 1) make sure the dog is served hot and 2) melt the cheese. Have a little pride in your job -- with a minimum of effort you can easily do better. Ugh read more

I went in to order a milk shake and chili dog, And a larger lady decided its alright to be rude towards me. I asked for light cheese and she responded with " its cheese or no cheese " The wait time was way to long for such a simple order, i waited 30 minutes for a milkshake and chili dog. I hope the owners do a training on how to treat customers because the food was not worth the disrespect from the staff read more

old fashioned and high quality. I came back for my 2nd visit and loved it again. Great family vibe

Went to tasty freeze because it's a work night and didn't want to cook. A yummy BLT with extra bacon and extra tomatoes and fries sounded tasty! Just terrible. I could have made it better at home. The bacon is charcoal on one side of the sandmich and undercooked on the other side. No xtra bacon, no xtra tomatoes. Did get xtra grease soaked bread. What a waste of food, time, and money. 9 months ago was my first time here. It was BOMB.COM. I've recommended to everyone since then. What happened? read more

Haven't eaten here for over 30 years Got a short chili kraut dog and small fries Fries were ok from frozen shoestring Dog wasn't too good Chili was under seasoned, kraut had no flavor but vinegar Food was very disappointing C- Young woman taking the order was very good at her job. That was the best part of the experience This made me miss Mike's chili and especially their fries. read more

Really really great burgers and good fries, the bacon is perfectttt. Best food we've had in Eureka and the portions weren't disappointing. The service was really good and everybody was very nice :) read more

Food is good, better than most places here. however, the service could be better. Few time when we ordered our meal large we got a medium fry. when the restaurant is slow and has no customers, rather than the workers coming out to clean and bus tables and sweep food off the ground and from under the tables, the sit and chat. Im most people would say its dumb to write this BUT it is one of my pet peeves. In the food business especially, if there are no customers, get out on the floor and clean! read more

THE BEST HOT DOGS!! I haven't had a hotdog done this good in a longtime! It doesn't look super appetizing, but the first bit was a reminder of what a hotdog should be ! read more

Fresh Freeze Drive-In - Cheese short dog - Burgers Near Me - Eureka, California

This was the worst burger I've ever bought for 18 bucks. The bread looked like someone sat on it. There was nothing in it. A plain bun and meat that looked dried up. I came back in to ask them if this was a joke! The fries were mediocre. I could've gotten a better burger at jack in the box. I will never eat here again. For 20$ never again. read more

Chocolate dipped soft serve so good. Just like foster freeze back home. The medium is huge!!

Just ate a deluxe burger combo meal. It was horrible tasting, the burger only covered half of the small bun it was on., it was about 1/4" thick and was freezer burnt. It looked nothing like the picture on this site. So sad, they used to be in best in town. I would give it a zero if I could. Also, the fries were overcooked. read more

Friendly counter service. Order at window and they'll call your name when your order is ready. Four outside tables plus additional seating, with four inside tables and 8 counter spaces. High chairs available. Preparation seemed like it took a long time and they weren't busy at all. Cheeseburgers were tasty. Fries were just okay. Unfortunately, on the day of our visit they were out of onion rings, so we didn't get to try them. Will likely try those or fried zucchini on a subsequent visit. read more

I have been here a dozen times over the years and I am just going to put it simply , this place is not good and kind of shameful for the food they serve their community and the price . let me know when they change owners. read more

Food is normally really good, but the young cashier with the dark curly hair and glasses needs a lesson in customer service. She was rude to me, and polite to my male partner. She was also extremely rude to my toddler when she asked her a question. She has a horrible attitude that makes me never want to come here again. The rest of the workers we encounter are very polite. If you don't like working customer service, get a new job. You'll be happier, and so will customers. read more

Where do I start? I'm pretty sure the burgers were a lot better back in the day when this place was new and bustling. Now it's just a shell of itself serving inedible food. The burger was overcooked and half the size of the bun. My favorite toppings were the wilted lettuce and pickles. The fries were soft and mealie, the consistency of a bad apple. Definitely not worth the $15 I spent. The service was OK, but no napkins were included in my to go order. There was also no way to take any ketchup or condiments to go. The decor was cool with all the classic car memorabilia but not much seating area inside. read more

Food is flavorless, unseasoned, and not worth the money. Fries don't even have any salt on them. The deluxe burger was totally mid, hardly any meat. just make your own burgers at home. Other than that the staff's service was good. read more

Worth the wait&the shakes&choice of flavors are great !Staff always young & friendly...I'm a vegetarian so I get the veg. Burgers,which they will happily apply any of the carnivore Burger toppings to... So glad at least this place stuck around..have a weird feeling the "car clubs"of the "greater good" keep it open.But the messy burgers-love 'em. read more

Love the onion rings and chocolate malts here. The service is always fast and friendly but the place could be cleaner.

Bad service. Food was made incorrectly then when mentioned the staff didn't care to remake my food and said they would put my name on a board for a burger. I call to place an order a few days later and my name is not even on the board for a burger. Will never be back and do NOT recommend read more

Crap ! The chili taste like it's been on the stove for two days and somebody just kept adding chili seasoning. It was so nasty. We took one bite and threw the rest away, but the fish was good. You just have to be very careful of what you order I would steer clear from the chili unless you wanna be crapping chili in your pants all day like I did gross.. read more

Food was delicious. Fries were excellent, both crispy on the outside, pillowy soft on the inside. Loved it.

We go for the ice cream! We love when the ice cream window is open for quicker service than having to wait inside where the lines for ordering food are. read more

Throw down the phone, grad to kiddos & get in there - especially on a nice day and revel in the "old skool" and check out the vintage car models too read more

Really loved our first visit here! Cute atmosphere with decent burgers but the onion rings were perfect and the shakes were fantastic. We tried the bacon burgers and chili burger as well as the patty melt. My husband wishes the patty melt had more patties but the rest of us were very full. Nice vibes and will try again! read more

This place is straight from the ole days. Cute little drive in Restaurant. My sister and i were staying in town and wanted a cheap eat on our way home. I just had a small cheeseburger and my sister had a Hot Dog and fries. Everything was Hot, Fresh and great tasting. Will definitely be back when we are in Eureka. read more

Hand dipped corn dogs. Probably the most important thing to know about this special place. The history and nostalgia of this Humboldt County staple makes it difficult to not love Fresh Freeze. If you're local you remember going here after football games, or youth group -- sharing fries with a friends or scraping together enough change to buy a cone. If you're not a local this place will transport you back in time to when the simpler things were so exciting. Oldies playing on the radio, sprinkles on your ice cream, a cherry on top. Now that I'm older some of the things that really stand out about this gem of a drive in: The burgers are Humboldt grass-fed beef, the ice cream is Humboldt Creamery, and the service is consistently good. Try the zucchini sticks too! But most importantly, Hand dipped corn dogs. read more

Worst burger I've ever had. I would compare this to Amusement park quality burgers... the burger was dry and small. It was sad tasting and looking read more

It was a drive in. The ice cream was good and the food was good. It was as expected. The staff was busy but friendly and the spot was still pretty clean. read more

Delicious ice cream! I really wish I never discovered Fresh Freeze... What a fun place to get dessert. There's a wide array of shake flavors and some other options like floats and malts, but my forever favorite is the dipped cone!!! Service is just okay, not that one would expect anything other than okay service at a dive like this one. The quality of the desserts are sometimes inconsistent depending on who is making them. I usually get great cones but sometimes the dip is rather thin, leaning like the Tower of Pisa, or handed over in a complete drippy mess. I've gotten an occasional thin shake as well. It still doesn't deter me from stopping by for an after dinner treat. read more

The ice cream and milkshake is ok. Even the dipped cone was ok because the ice cream is not to a right mixture so when you bite into it, thr ice cream just literally melting. I was hoping it would be something special but nothing special. Make me miss a place call Ron's in my local town that was bought out my starbucks. read more

Fresh Freeze Drive-In - Menu - Burgers Near Me - Eureka, California

Update: this place is a staple throughout California. When you see one you immediately know the vanilla dipped in chocolate will be as delicious as the first time you ever had it as a kid. I'm feeling this review will be updated in a few years to five stars for sheer ability to maintain through everything, especially Covid. read more

This place has grown on me. I now look forward to visiting it. Look, gastronomically speaking, Humboldt is not for the best. Most restaurants have limited hours. And the residents just don't dine out a lot. None of our eateries deserve to be on the Food Network. I like their corn dogs. They dip them there. The ice cream window is very convenient. I like their sundaes. The indoor seating area is depressing and the outdoor seating is noisy. For the good vs bad, this is about a local business. I go here often. read more

We had a special lunch and ice cream after school on Friday. I ordered a patty melt, which was phenomenal, my son had the kids chicken tenders meal. The fries were fab but the chicken tenders were just ok. My dad ordered the jumbo burger, delicious but messy! The dipped ice cream cones were on point! Can't wait to visit again, such a fun atmosphere. We love the diner vibes. read more

Milkshakes are great! Jumbo cheeseburger is great! Those mini tacos...also great! Ambiance is fun!

I love coming to this place! it reminds me of a happy days drive in from back of the day. Dad goes down a really, really good job of keeping the place up, the food comes out in a timely matter and the customer service is amazing. Pretty well price for bacon cheeseburger. Give it a try. read more

I have been going here since I was a kid. The food is amazing. My go to is the Humboldt special always. It's the best burger there IMO. I haven't tasted a burger yet that can top the Humboldt special. I just love the shakes as well. I haven't gone here in a bit because the prices are getting way too high for a burger. Not that the burger isn't worth it but is just getting too high for me. This place will always have a place in my heart and hopefully I can afford to go back there one day when finances are a little better. Pre-pandemic read more

Solid three stars. Cute little place, and carries the diner theme well. There's about 5 tables inside to eat at and some bar seating. Outside there's a few more tables when the weather is nice. I imagine a shake or dipped cone here on a summer day is delightful. Tonight we stopped in for some Chicken Strips and Fish & Chips. The food was made fresh and the helpings were plentiful. I would call this standard diner food quality. It's nothing to rave about but it hits the spot. It's close to home so I'll be coming back- with so many burgers and dogs on the menu- and sweet treats, I feel like I missed the mark on some good flavors. Especially since the three folks behind me were all ordering desserts on this rainy Thursday. read more

This place is just OK...I doubt I'll go back. Their cheeseburgers taste exactly like McDonalds. The fries are marginal. There isn't a lot of places in the area that offer soft serve ice cream so that is the only reason to go. read more
