Reviews for Fosters Freeze in San Jose, CA
This was a blast from the past. My grandma used to bring me here for a treat sometimes after going to San Jose Japantown. I... took my mom, wife and kids as a treat for shopping in Japantown. My mom and oldest son both got a root beer float, a classic. They both loved them. My youngest / my wife shared a sundae with chocolate syrup and sprinkles and was in hog heaven. I got anold school favorite a chocolate dipped soft serve cone. It brought me back to spending time with my grandma years ago. It madethe stop even better because of the nostalgia. I was happy the quality was still high and the service was above average. Theplace was steadily busy, not sure if that's regular or because it was a hot day. Read more
Used to go to this foster freeze back in the days. Still looks the same and taste the same. Even the guy that works here is the... same. The worker really loves to interact with their customers. There also appears to be locals who goes here all the time. Menuis pretty big. Food: The old fashion is always my go to choice. The Fries that comes with the meal is pretty good. They tend togive you a lot of fries. Their onion rings are always good as well. Service: They are quick to make your order. Food is alwaystop notch here and beats other big chain restaurants. Don't always see the helper to the cook wear gloves. The cook always wearit, though he should wear a hair net. Never had hair in my food though. Parking: Parking can be limited, but no one reallystays at the location long. Parking is free as well. I find that most people order to go though there are two tables to eatat. Seating: The workers don't maintain the tables throughout the day. It's more of the community self regulating. Overall,it's usually clean. Amenities: No bathroom. Condiments are by request. Read more
I really liked the chocolate dipped cone I had tonight &, judging by the reaction of those eating burgers & banana splits,... everybody was happy & satisfied with their orders. I also saw 3 of the hardest working people I've ever seen... a fry cookmaking burgers, a clerk taking orders, & ice clerk making the fountain drinks & ice cream treats. They worked in tandem & werevery efficent! Great experience & I'll be back! Read more
Good for ice cream and not much else. They used to have insanely good spicy chicken sandwiches for a reasonable price of like... 7-8 bucks. Then they changed from big thick fried chicken patties to some processed small flat patties, not worth it anymore fortaste or price.... Read more
Good old fashioned ice cream experience. This place is a landmark that I hope will never go away. We need more businesses like... this - the staff was helpful and my order was completed fast. Plenty of parking but I can see it may get busy at times. Therewas a short line, even when it was an off time on a Sunday evening. But, everyone was happy to wait for great ice cream andfood.

Great place with old vibes. Ordered banana split and fries. It was okay !
Place is by itself so I think unless you heard about it you are not going to find it. They have limited parking spot on site... and a few spots for you to sit out. They accept credit card here and we're pretty quick to put out the orders. They have lots ofoptions of sizes for both cups (junior, small, medium and large) and cones (small, medium and large).
