My daughter suggested coming here for an early lunch, so up Gateway I drove to find it. As I pulled up I fully expected to be served roachburgers with a side of mouse fries. "Worn" is a polite adjective for the exterior, and it's covered with tacky signs that infringe on a beefy range of copyrights, from the House of Mouse to the little blue mushroom-dwellers. I was warned that the tables would be scratched and tagged, but when we entered we found the inside to be nicer that the out, and the tables - or at least their tops - had been replaced. It's a greasy spoon for sure, and there was something charming about it, a relic from a more innocent age, when the FDA was way off in Washington and 'cooked in lard' was the only way to serve a steak. Frosty Queen is what it is, doesn't aspire to be more, and it doesn't apologize: it's a cheap little burger joint that accurately reflects the community around it. A little before 11am, we were the second group to come in, but the dining area was about half full when we left. I think it was staffed by only two people - one on the register, one on the food - and the service was not breaking any land speed records as it was, so I can see that they might get backed up during peak times, but that was not our experience. They have a pretty sizeable menu, serving combo meals of various burgers, chicken, tacos, and more. I ordered the San Joaquin burger (hello, pastrami) and the rest of my group noshed on chicken nuggets and fries. The lettuce, tomato, and onion on my burger were legitimately fresh, and the meats satisfied my hungry soul. The chicken was typical fast food chicken, which is to say not something I would eat, and the sauce choices are ketchup, ranch, and BBQ sauce, so if you're looking for sweet & sour or Frank's Red Hot or something, look elsewhere. The fries were not special, but fries don't need to be special to be edible. On the whole I enjoyed coming here, and it met nearly all my expectations: the burger was good, my daughter was happy, and against all odds there was not a roach in sight. read more

Definitely the place to be on a Saturday night really good food great customer service even if the teenagers make it a busy atmosphere

A solid 5 stars for my first time coming here. 7/30/19 (11:30am) . First impressions was that they have a pretty big parking lot and there was only one car in front of me. I do agree with some reviews the wait is a bit long but the food is made fresh when you order so that's a plus. The lady taking our order is pretty nice and patient as this was my first time here . The food definitely makes up for the wait , 5/5 on the food , the prices are set at what I think is reasonable . Will I be back? Yes i think this will be my go to place for munchies or when I want a quick bite to eat. Decided to pay this place a visit a few days ago and just like my first visit , this place does not disappoint! The food always hits the spot and the workers are on point! I don't get why people complain about the 35 cent ATM fee ... it's 35 cents get over it lol. I HIGHLY recommend getting the m&m frosty candy mix! If you are considering giving this place a visit go for it you won't regret it! read more

Good ass jr burger pretty big and tastes bomb... Added tomato and onion very good burger spot havent tried anything else though but the jr burger and fries.. better than anywhere else in this town i know of read more

This was the worst customer service I ever received. I did a call in order, when I got there the cashier had my order wrong and the guy in the back was very upset and still wanted me to pay for something I did not order. when I was given my correct order the cashier tells me next time we will not change your order. I told the cashier I'm not paying for something I did not order and I know what I order and she said I took your order and that what you order, wish was wrong I told her and than she next time we wont change the order. I told be last time I give you guys my business. read more

Although the drive through line can be a wait, their food is always made to order! Customer service is well, some days better than others. I really recommend the Spicy Chicken sandwich here as well as the Banana Milkshake! Those are my favorite! This place has a variety of options that I'm sure someone will find a food item they'll really enjoy! read more

Great food but it is just too cold inside the dinning area, food gets cold before you can eat it, thermostat on the wall showed 52 degrees

Frosty Queen is a guilty pleasure for me. Really great chicken strips and fries. I also had a burger which was pretty great. All food is burning hot and fresh, so be prepared to wait. I usually come in the evening, so I'm not sure if this is different at earlier times. Their dessert menu also looks extensive, but I've yet to try anything. Everything is very fairly priced as well. This place may not win any Michelin stars, but it's pretty great for a drive thru joint. read more

Thank you Frosty Queen for always serving-up Really Delicious food. Last night, after shopping in Fresno, all I wanted was a juicy warm with melty cheese Bacon Cheeseburger from Frosty Queen! (Sorry no picture, I just dove into burger!) If you're ready for comfort food on the run, remember Frosty Queen. The convenient phone service (559) 673-7678 is a handy option too. I am a longtime customer with many favorites - fries, ice-creams, sandwhiches and onion rings! Love them. read more

This is my go to spot for a good hamburger in Madera, the San Joaquin and fries always hits the spot. I order the combo for coworkers that were working late and they really liked it too. I've also had pastrami sandwich which was really good. Yeah the wait is a little longer than the other fast food places but that's probably because they're making your burger to order instead of patties sitting under a heat lamp. read more

Everything from before is still correct but considering that everything is made to order the wait time is justifiable. The daily specials are a good deal, the Saturday/Sunday is probably the best. I think they've updated the cash registers or something like that because you get an itemized receipt now which I like. read more

Frosty queen is the place to stop at the meals are delicious and the employees are very polite. I recommend this fast food restaurant

The root beer float was good. The burgers taste like they came from the flea market. Not awful just flat and not impressive for an independent chain. The typos were the first thing my wife & I noticed. If they don't take their advertisements serious and accurate how much detail was put into food preparation? I will give them a 2nd chance but it will be an "Order at your own risk" situation. read more

Frosty Queen 10/10!!!!!! Amazing Food and Amazing Service I Highly Recommend Frosty Queen

It was good for the moment. Nothing special about this place, but nothing bad either. I was starving when I went and it did fill me up. Had humongous size portions available! Giant cheeseburgers and milkshakes! My cousin ordered the biggest milkshake I have ever seen! He was happy with it. We will be going back when in the area! read more

The food was great. The shakes were very thick and tasty. Would highly recommend. We enjoyed big burgers and chicken strips.

It's my first time eating here, and it was great!! The cashier was super friendly. I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich let let me just say it was deliciously spicy!!! If you like chicken sandwich's this is the spot. The food was nice and hot. The fires were bomb! Definitely will be coming back, shoot I'll probably be a regular since I work so close. read more

The food was exceptionally good! The fries were crispy and lightly seasoned. The spicy chicken sandwich had a delicious chicken breast - no processed meat at all. The milkshakes were yummy! read more

The one star is simply for the fact that I love the boneless wings basket and zucchini fries. Other than that, there's not much to offer. The customer service is absolutely horrible and they make up random charges when they don't want to deal with you.. Last night I introduced my boyfriend to frosty queen for the first time. There's one down the street from where I work in Fresno and I've eaten there a few times. That location has just as good of food, but WAY better customer service. Last night, we got the boneless chicken wing basket and we're able to sub curly fries free of charge. The girl we encountered at the drive through was completely rude, rolling her eyes, and speaking sarcastically. Tonight, we ended up dealing with her again unfortunately and she told us we could not substitute curly fries for regular fries, then tried to tell us that she could do it but there would be an additional $1.50 charge, which doesn't make sense. We asked her if she could make an exception since we were just there the night before and had no issues, so she said she would talk to her Manager. My boyfriend watched her bullshit(sorry for the language) with another employee for 3 minutes and then came back to tell us no exceptions would be made. My suggestions for the owner would be to hire more young people friendly persons to work the counter and drive through window, like the other younger and MUCH friendlier one who looks like she's fresh out of high school, and to set specific rules for both locations to follow. Don't offer or charge extra for one thing at location "A" only to not carry/charge for it at location "B" read more

This is by far the best place to eat a good ole hamburger!! Not to mention the hamburger sauce to go with our fries. Shakes and ice cream are good too. I give it 4 starts only because the drive thru wait time can be very long. Other then that, best place to eat a hamburger! read more

I had the bacon cheeseburger and fries and I stopped eating it halfway. The bacon was not cooked properly and the food made me sick. I give it two stars just because the milkshakes are good read more

Like a lot of people we decided to try this place after leaving the movies. The lady at the counter was not able to answer many of our questions about the menu items, she didn't seem to care either. When she was able to answer to let us know that the chimichangas were like the ones that were bought in the freezer section and she gave us an example of a brand, all they did was deep fry them. Still wanting to try the place out and since the kids were excited about the ice cream we decided to order anyways. The hamburgers were ok, not a lot of flavor and over loaded on condiments. The fries were pretty good, they were hot and not too salty. One of the employees was taking her lunch break with some other people that didn't work there. She served herself and when she needed something she would go to the kitchen to go and get it as if she was in her own home. The problem with that was for the many trips she made back and forth she did not once wash her hands upon returning to the kitchen, it just seemed really unsanitary. As we sat down to eat, the chairs and table were wobbly, maybe something they may want to look into for safety reason As far as the appearance, I wasn't very concerned about it. Being a life long Madera resident I have learned that some of the best places in this town are the hole in the wall restaurants with the hand written menus and calculators instead of registers, so that was not a major factor for me. I really wish they would put something totally awesome next to the movies, I will not be going back to this place. I can't see spending my hard earned money on something I can grab at the store and fry myself. read more

The food is decent, some of the best burgers in town for sure. But if you're in a hurry I would recommend somewhere a little quicker.

The go to here is the San Joaquin, which is the quarter pound burger with pastrami. The fries are fresh and well seasoned and the Dr. Pepper with cherry flavor hit the spot (25 cents extra). Be aware that drive thru service is not the fastest and usually takes about 10 minutes. I am not considering the wait time in my review because im patient and the food was on point. read more

Their grilled chicken sandwich is really good, they only reason I'm giving them 3 stars is because I had to wait 30 minutes for one sandwich. read more

OK let me start here you want what you order and what you pay for. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and got a cheeseburger with pastrami on it. My wife was told its beef bacon but I have had pastrami from here in the past and it was pastrami. You know, when you make a mistake you need to own up to it and make it right. Sad to say but this will be my last visit here because as a paying customer I want what I payed for not what you decide to give me. read more

One of the better burger places in Madera. The burgers are pretty filling, the wait is kind of long, I like to attribute that to them making the food as you order. Pretty good alternative than driving into Fresno. read more

The best food In Madera California no one can beat them McDonald's can't do that keep it up frosty Queen

Giving them 2 stars because the employees are really nice. But honestly the burgers are plain :/ i got the jr burger..but whats worse is that i saw a black bug on the floor, it looked like a roach but it got out frm the cracks under the door :/ read more

Best burgers in town. They are like the old Big Top Drive in that used to be at the Y of Howard Rd, Yosemite Ave. and Olive 35 years ago.

Great food awesome prices burgers r so juicy onion rings r crunchy and the ranch dressing is out of this world lol the grilled cheese is very yummy me and family enjoy this place very much the workers r very friendly don't ever ever close lol read more

Really its a great restaurant and the food there is absolutely amazing nothing that compares to this place. It is well cooked and the burgers r huge. read more

This isn't your chained fast food restaurant like a lot of the others in town. So let's start with the good. Food is fresh and made to order. That being said there is a wait whether you dine in or use the drive through, since they don't have the food sitting under the heat lamps. Staff have their good days and bad days but for the most part the girls working the registers are really cheerful and prompt. Weird that there is a tip jar at the drive through window, haven't seen that before. Now for the bad, the building is kinda old. Forget what restaurant this was before they made it into the burger joint it is now. The inside is a bit dated, but there is ample room to sit where you like. Restrooms looked kinda run down, but at least were clean. All in all it is a place you want to eat at if you want to eat somewhere other than the chains we have here. The menu is huge so you'll definitely find something you'll like. read more

Wouldn't recommend this place to someone who actually wants to eat. Drive thru took 30 minutes. Would give it a zero if possible. First and last time I come here. read more

Food was good but the atmosphere needs work. Needs some TLC. When you open a business take the time to make it look good before you open. Not broken tables outside. Appearance says a lot about a business. Burgers are great so I hope there will be improvements fast. read more

I just ate there today ordered a double bacon burger combo with a orange float . The orange float was really good but the food was bad , the burger had no seasoning on it & my fries were really cold and soggy which is weird bc I was waiting for like 15 minutes I would imagine they would be hot & crispy . The portion size was really big for the amount paid , but since I only took a few bites before my stomach started to hurt it wasn't really worth it ... So yeah I give it a 2 of 5 because the Orange float . read more

Its fast, got some good ass burgers and shakes. Its a good price for the food you get
