It was a long day, so my family and I stopped by for a quick pick-me-up, and it really hit the spot. The burgers were tasty, and the sundaes were a nice treat. I’d recommend this place if you’re looking for something sweet or a quick bite, especially since there are plenty of options to choose from. Free parking is also a plus.

I’m not sure if I was hyper critical because the apple reviews are pretty scathing specifically about cleanliness
But I’ll give you my first impression experience
I could feel the tension / awkwardness of the girl working cause I presume the older gentleman is also her boss / the owner. I’ve owned small businesses and know sometimes it can be tense working with the operating owner / manager lol
A two person team seems to be the most they can have for the traffic but when I finished there was a nice rush for them. Overall if a business is honesty and tries hard I believe and support small businesses
For $22.14 for a diet Pepsi double burger w bacon and small fries it’s a tough sell for me.
But the fries were crispy (unless in n out fries, and not burnt like well done in n out fries ) and the burger was ok.
Toward the end though I felt like the burger in my mouth coagulated into the texture of play doh and I don’t know if that’s normal in a burger? I’ll have to pay more attention next time I’m at in n out lol.
Another comment said the burgers are pretty greasy so it’s probably that vs my “is the bun undercooked?” Thought
The bacon was cooked in the frier and the Patty’s made when I ordered.
Can’t comment on cleanliness for the gentleman who I’ve read handles money then cooks but – he didn’t handle money so there’s that. Maybe he read the review
The building inside is a bit dated and presuming it’s a franchise I just feel like there’s just way too much going on in the menu but it also seems there’s something for everyone.
A little hole in the wall in the middle of nowhere lol. Probably a more accurate 3.5* but round up as it wasn’t really a 3.4.
Happy eating

Classic old-school burger stop. Burgers & Fries here are good, made to order.
Really enjoy the fresh chocolate dipped soft serve. Visited for Valentine’s day special sundae posted on their social media but the staff working had no clue. Then the older guy proceeded to yell at the girl working, made us feel so bad for her just trying to understand. If you’re running a special post it & tell the staff. Then we overcharged (we checked the receipt).

$25.68 for a burger, fries and a shake. They charged 6 dollars for the “up charge” on the meal for a shake.

$9 for a hot dog? Not quite how I remember fosters freeze. I did enjoy a Carmel coffee shake but that changed when I paid for them. 2 med standard shakes cost me $24. That’s more that Starbucks. Too expensive for me!

Two old people are very aggressive. I parked a big truck in the parking lot so that it would not interfere with other cars, and I wanted to quickly order food and leave. First i ask water after i want to take my wallet from truck. There were no customers in the establishment at all. And they shouted at me to leave quickly. They explained that I was bothering them. It’s pretty funny.

Been eating at Dairy Freeze since before Dairy Belle Freeze was a competitor on Marina Blvd. Best soft serve ice cream and prices are/were reasonable. I have left the craziness of the Bay Area for calmer surroundings. But Dairy Freeze is always on my heart. God bless. If you are in San Leandro area, don’t miss Dairy Freeze. With Raiders, A’s , Warriors gone, Dairy Freeze is my past connection to better times in San Leandro

Decent food & shake. It’s a bit pricey compared to other similar options available. I’m not sure how they compare on an in-depth level, but I didn’t feel it was completely worth it. Cold brew shake had a rich, full flavor and was quite good, even if it was a little too sweet for future frequency.

I have enjoying Fosters Freeze for at least 50 years now.
Over that time, the prices have changed, some of faces and the menu as well, to some extent. The changes I noticed, were to keep up with the times and were improvements. However, some things never change, because they just don’t get any better. I love the fact that each order is cooked fresh, and you can watch it being made. There is a variety of burgers and meals that would satisfy any craving that might occur in my family. We’re talking about 2 adults and 5 kids . I love the fish sandwich, the Patty Melt, the burgers and the Corn Dogs. If you like fries, they are the best.
They feature lots of Floats, shakes and “soft” ice cream cones, real sundaes, banana splits, but my favorite is the Large Chocolate Malt.
It’s the “Bomb”. Prices are moderate, they pay fair wages, quality is tops, service is great. You can dine inside, on the patio outside or order at the window and they call your order out when ready and you can wait in your car.
It’s worth checking it out. You might become a regular, like me.
