Fosters Freeze

We stopped in late night for an unplanned sweet snack and it really hit the spot. They have drive-through or walk up and there is a large free parking lot attached in the back and on the side so parking is really easy and close. Everything that we ordered was ready within 10 minutes and the staff was also really polite. Pricing is really fair so it would be a good option for large families or if you are on a budget. I did not try any of their hot food items aside from the french fries so cannot speak to their burgers or dogs, but can for their ice cream and fries. This place is more of a to go spot as they don’t really have an indoor dining area, but they do have plenty of outdoor tables. For this visit, we ordered some fries which are crinkle cut and very similar to Shake Shack. Not the best that I’ve had but far from the worst. We also got some large chocolate dipped ice cream cones and they two were very good. I wish they would have more ice cream flavors like caramel or something like that and I also wish they would have confetti or white chocolate or other dip flavors but still it was really nice, especially for an unplanned last-minute treat stop. We also ordered a caramel shake, and it was extra sweet and really satisfied my craving. I would recommend if you are in the area, especially for those late night cravings.

11/05/2025 I was curious how their burgers are so I tried for the first time and ordered their "double decker" combo with fries and root beer. I honestly think they're ok. Niy bad but it's ok. I will come back for their shakes though if I was around the area.

Ice cream shop with burgers huh? I was going to get a burger but I got fish and chips. The lady at the counter was friendly, the service was fast. The portion was pretty small an appetizer size rather than a complete meal. Fries and fish were perfectly crispy. Tasted mediocre and not memorable. Ranch sauce they use is very sour and just doesn't taste good. Tartar was bland. Overall I didn't enjoy the flavor just fulfilled my stomach. I am assuming the burger situation is similar. The seatings are located right next to the busy road. There is no music playing or anything. So the ambience is no good here.

This will be the second time I've been to Foster's Freeze. We love the nostalgic feeling of this place. They have outdoor seating in front which is very great to use because eating a Chocolate Dipped cone is not advisable when driving or in your car! I never had one so I learned my lesson after the first time around. The ice cream underneath will melt and come out of the bottom from all around the cone. By the way, their cake cones and waffle cone are top notch delicious. They will survive a medium. That's another thing. In my pictures are medium sized cones! What the heck is a large?! I couldn't imagine! Great pricing to portion sizes and affordable for a family of six kids! We love Foster's Freeze!

best ice cream shakes in LA. got the peppermint oreo one today and it’s so good!!!!!

An old-school, iconic drive-thru just like the good old days. We absolutely love their soft serve ice cream — especially the half-chocolate, half-vanilla swirl. But the real must-try? The chocolate-dipped cone. The staff is always friendly and super helpful. A true gem!

I have not been to a Frosty freeze in years I've always loved their chocolate dipped ice cream cones it is a real delite in treat on the super bowl Sunday to get one of my favorite ice creams of all time

Best custard I've had since living on the East Coast. My go-to place! They also make a tasty grilled cheese and so many other great treats. Very reasonable prices!

This place used to be great. Best grilled cheese and fries ever and twisters were fire. I just went back after about a year and it's horrible. Everything has changed. I asked for extra ranch. They said there was ranch and BBQ in the bag. I gave up on asking for extra. Got home and no ranch or BBQ in the bag. The fries were clearly re-fried. So sad.

I've been craving ice cream more since it's been so hot lately. I find myself hitting up Fosters Freeze whenever the cravings hit. I love that they have a drive-thru so I can get my ice cream without leaving my car. If you're looking for a hangout spot, they don't have an inside seating area, but you can order at the window and they have seating outside. I always get their soft serve ice cream on a waffle cone, sometimes with a side of fries. It's so good and such a large portion size. There's not a lot of places that have soft serve on a waffle cone and I find myself craving another one as I write this review.

Great spot for a delicious dessert. I love all their ice creams and sundaes. My favorites are the strawberry sundae and cheesecake twister

Ice cream was good and the service was fast. There's no sign that says cash only, but they made me pay with cash ( I saw them taking card payment through the drive thru)

So we are watching tv and remembered we saw a television commercial Foster Freeze BOGO free sundae February 12-26th. We arrive and the kid behind the counter taking the order said "You are kidding me right." We showed him the Facebook posting. He said sorry but no one told me anything about this. I told him so does this mean you are not going to offer the sundae. He said No sorry! Well no more Foster Freeze for us! Welcome BR. See you soon.

Got myself a oreo strawberry twister. 2nd time I've had it and it was delicious. Service was quick and staff were nice.

Food is whatever but the service is horrible. I blame the owner. Anytime I ask for anything slightly different they freak out and say they can't do it even if I offer to pay more. I actually feel bad for the workers because you can tell they are trying but the owner has insane rules. I'll never go back here

We ate there We ordered big boss combos but wanted chili cheese on the fries. Guy said they don't do that. So we asked with out combo due to we wanted to try the chili cheese fries. 40.00 for the price point I would rather eat at Tommy's chili dogs or Tom's. Better food, better price. We got the food, I asked what about our drinks? Guy said you didn't buy a combo. I told him just give me 2 water cups with ice. Not too good of a service. Looked at my receipt and no drinks were on it. Chili cheese fries were just ok. Very little chili. My thought is this place is good for their ice cream, but not their food. I guess I'm too used to good service else where or maybe my expectations were too high. Shame on me, I guess!! I'll go back,but never for the food, only for the ice cream

I only come here for the Twister with my partner Never disappoints!! It's a small establishment but there's always parking when I come. Sometimes there's a line and sometimes there isn't but the service is always quick since we only order ice cream. The staff are friendly. There are a few tables if you want to sit and eat but I usually just take my order to go. Recommend going for a nice sweet treat!

I used to love this place. Yesterday the thought of stopping by here crossed my mind but then I remembered the last 3 or 4 times I've been there (over the last year) how awful it is interacting with the people who run it. I mean, seriously, they treat you like they're doing you a favor by even acknowledging your existence. So arrogant. Terrible service. I didn't want to burdent them with my presnence so I went somewhere else.

We have never visited the location. The hamburgers were very delicious. Mario, the cook seems so proud of what he does, and it shows because these hamburgers were top notch. The twirl ice creams were delicious. What a memorable meal thanks to Mario! He's very polite, fast, and professional. The mature lady was not in the best disposition, she seems to be either the owner, or the manager. THANK YOU MARIO!

I've been here a couple times for ice cream now--never for food--and the service has always been great. We have never known what we've wanted to order, but every staff member we've interacted with has been patient and kind. The ice cream comes out remarkably fast and is always VERY good! As a Burbank local, I can appreciate the vintage aesthetic about the building, but I do think it could use some sprucing up. They get QUITE busy when it's warm and only has a few tables, so I think seating could be improved as well. Pricing is not that far off from other fast food places I've been to, honestly. We just went to that chain in the mall last week and the pricing was about the same for ice cream treats. The place that does mix-ins by the movie theater is crazy expensive! I always prefer to support a small business in my community over a chain anyway. Everything we have gotten has been high enough quality to warrant the price we have paid, which I think is all that matters to me.

Nope, never again! I just paid $7 for chili cheese fries that had store-bought fries and some disgusting tasting chili on top. I asked the woman for onions, but couldn't even get that. I should've drove down the street to Del taco and purchased their deluxe chili fries for half the cost with better quality

Not all fosters freezers are created equal. This is the McDonald's of fosters. I swear they never have chocolate. Usually I leave. Today I stayed and got a twister. Don't expect it to be loaded with good stuff. They add toppings like tell run out of that too. I'll give them a star for being nice about it. The prices are also pretty ridiculous. I got a junior which is the smallest one and it was $7.

This place fell off soooo bad. It used to be the best. The prices are too high and every time we come here there is no consistency at all when it comes to preparing our order. It's not even worth it anymore. I've been coming here for like 30+ years, a super regular. Not anymore. Sucks.

Absolutely the best . The chicken sandwich is crispy and toppings fresh and perfect. The burger is Huge and flavor is on point. The freezes are thick, and the toppings are soooo good. I tried the Oreo freeze, addicting. Their mudslide freeze is my favorite, coffee, fudge, Oreo --- it's perfect. Also so many flavors I haven't tried yet but I just love this place. The vibe is so cute in Burbank. Very pleased

This was one of the worst burgers I've had in LA, the one in the picture was somehow dry and soggy at the same time? The other unpictured burger had lettuce on it, and it was very wet and fell apart quickly. The service was also interesting, the staff was very kind but extremely slow. At $15 a meal should be more edible than this. The outdoor tables were clean and the store was well maintained.

The black lady working the drive through is rude. We pulled up to the drive thru and asked for a minute to decide what we wanted. She rolled her eyes and head and proceeded to get the orders from the 2 cars behind us. And we were ready to order almost seconds after she rolled her eyes. Everyone behind us had to wait until we ordered and our order was ready to leave. The car behind us had to physically get out of their car to get their order. Just horrible customer service from her! The guy that took our order was nice and got our order done quickly.

Against my better judgment I returned. 30 Dollars and change for a number one and number two. I was debating ordering a big boss alone but it's 11.50. This Froster freeze is charging too much. Probably the last time I go.

I always try to support small businesses whenever possible, but I can confidently say I won't be returning to this one. Both times I visited, the store was closed despite their posted hours on Apple Maps showing they should have been open. Wanting to help, I stood outside and tried to update the information on Apple Maps. At that moment, the owner, an older Armenian woman, came out and said they were closed. I explained the hours on Apple Maps were incorrect, and I was simply trying to fix that. Instead of appreciating the effort, she got defensive, insisting that she knew when her business was open and accusing me of having an attitude when I was just trying to explain the issue. My partner eventually pulled up the app to show her the discrepancy, but it felt like she was more willing to listen to them (white) than to me. The entire interaction was unnecessarily confrontational and frustrating. I don't plan to deal with that kind of unprofessionalism again. Be wary of the posted hours--they seem to open and close based on personal convenience rather than the times listed.

The service and politeness of the counter guy was great, so giving credit for that. But the burger was just bad: overcooked and dry, bread was cold and soggy, not what you expect. The Atwater Village location has a much better burger.

Foster's Freeze located on Glenoaks and Oilve in Burbank is a one stop destination for two of the most perfect pairings. Yup, burgers and icecream. Offering a variety of burgers, milkshakes and other tasty treats via drive thru or walk up window. Depending on the time, this place can get busy. We ended up with cheeseburger combos that included crispy fries, charbroiled burgers and drinks. If your hungry go with the double cheeseburger. Food was yummy. However very basic. It was more of a blast from the past type of place. There are a few outdoor tables and that is it. Most people take everything to go. They have a slow drive thru lane or a one window walk up option. They accept cash or credit.

This place is hit or miss. Sometimes you get something good and you can be pleasantly surprised. For certainty is the old fashioned desserts like a chocolate malt! Yum! Also, their candy twisters are great for my sweet tooth!

10.50 for a kids hot dog, drink and fries. Enough said. For these prices, they should make more of an effort to clean up their eating area, and offer free refills which they make it very clear they do not offer. Maybe I went on the wrong night, but there was some car meet up here too. Don't think I'll be back.

This is old school. You walk up to order or the there is a drive thru. The hot fudge sundae was topped with a cherry. The soft serve ice cream is delicious . There is outside seating and you can seat out and watch the cars drive by

I come here only for ice cream and I just LOVE it, always delicious, not expensive at all and fast service. I've been coming to this location since I was a kid just for their soft serve.

When is the last time you've gone to a Foster's Freeze? How about the the last time you've thought, hey let's go to Foster's Freeze. Yeah I didn't think so, not ever. I saw the place and thought I haven't been to one in years and I thought of getting a Sunday but unfortunately I didn't have time for that so I ordered a burger and fries which is a simple classic meal for them because it looked and tasted like a burger and fries should. I thi k the worse part about it was that I ate it so fast cuz I wanted more. I was glad I was able to stop, next time I need a Sundae for sure. I think places like this don't get enough love because alot of the places from the past are quickly disappearing. Ive learn to appreciate them more because some of the places we are getting now don't have any nostalgia or any deep spot in my heart.

This place is usually my favorite but after today I will no longer be coming back. I asked for a parfait with a custom topping which she repeated to me I had to pay $2.50 for and I paid because I obviously wanted to add an extra topping. I received the ice cream with the wrong topping and RESPECTFULLY asked her if she could please remake it because the topping she put ( I asked for Reese's cups she gave me Oreos which make me sick !!) and she continued to be extremely rude saying no you never said that and tried calling my bluff saying she had cameras and she could run the footage back. To make things easier I told her no simply because she was trying to make a big fuss over something she knew she did wrong. She also doesn't give any receipts ever so I had to just throw the ice cream away. Worst experience ever 12 dollars down the drain :(

I visited Foster Freeze in Burbank 20 minutes ago, after school. From the start, the employee was rude. When I attempted to pay with my card, he was extremely unpleasant rude , mishandling the device and causing the transaction to fail. He instructed me to simply slide the card in, but his grip was incorrect very rude , resulting in the device falling to the ground his performance as an employee. Upon picking it up, he discovered it was broken and informed his colleague that I had broken it, using a derogatory term "bitch" to describe me. I addressed this incident I didn't drop it he was rude & his language towards me , as my child also heard the remark. However, he ignored me. I then requested the manager's contact information from another employee, who I assume also witnessed the incident, but was initially met with reluctance. The employee who used the derogatory term and was rude was Neo. I am also informing the food business bureau we recorded it

I wish I could leave a zero star review. The Armenian lady is so difficult to order from. She messed up my order which happens. Understanding. I ask for an exchange and she said that I ordered incorrectly. I order from here all the time. She even read me back my order and I explain to her that I didn't receive the order she just read back to me. She wouldn't exchange my order. She said she could exchange it but wouldn't allow me to reorder. What type of service is that?

Overpriced for the quality you get. Good variety in the menu, from hot dogs to burgers, chili cheese fries, various milkshake flavors. You order at the window, they have a credit card charge fee if you aren't spending over $10. Food comes out quick, very fast food vibes. I liked how crispy the fries were. Chili dog with very thin hot dog size, more bread to hot dog ratio, chili was very basic. Few outdoor seating tables but looks like most items are taken to go. Easy parking next to it.

My husband got me onto Foster Freeze since we don't have them in Michigan where I grew up. Now we come anytime we want to celebrate something.... New job, Father's Day, etc. I am nostalgic for a twisted chocolate dip cone and my husband loves the peach shakes. We recently got the cowboy dogs and was impressed in the size and flavor of them. Great spot to pop in with the kids and letting them pick out something.

You guys close before your listed hours, please update I drove from Pasadena for a delicious chocolate dipped cone. This place is great but needs to honor information.

A hollow shell of what it used to be. Years ago this place was great! I recently took someone from out of town to a spot that had some good memories for me - only to find out the service was terrible and the prices where INSANE now. Service: pretty bad - everything i asked was given an answer that sounded like it was a chore to give. The place was empty and felt a bit run down which made me sad. Food: priced horribly. A single cheeseburger was $10.00! Then i paid $5.00 for additional waffle cut fries only to be five clearly frozen so all crinkle cut fries. The ambiance was not the best - pricing bad - all of this makes me so sad as this was a Glendale/Burbank local spot that was always a nice change of pace. there are now, sadly, better options all over the place locally and i won't be going back : (

Everything about this place is awesome. Starting from the wonderful burgers to sundaes. Variety of options in everything. The car shows that happen are just a bonus :)

Service is atrocious You will get less smart talking to their employees I wouldn't feed my dog here. Service is terrible. Messed up all our orders I wish I could say at least it's cheap but it's not even cheap.

Editing the original review: service has been better. Workers as well. Been a much better experience. Thank you. P.s. the hot dogs are as good as the ice cream

Friendly staff, fast service but I do think the building itself needs to be repaired/updated. Food is pretty standard but it's always hit or miss if your stomach is going to hurt afterwards

Decided to give this place another shot, this time we came 2 hours before closing and what do ya know, they were open! They are still out of supplies and have items listed on the menu that they don't serve. The soft serve is still pretty great and stands true to the classic Fosters recipe. Beware, there was some insane car show going on at Fosters recently and all the cars filled the entire parking lot, leaving it impossible to park or access the walk-up ordering window. Patron at your own risk!

Come here for the soft serve ice cream. Hubby got a double burger. He enjoyed it and said had that old school flavor. The serve was ok. It was a quick order and not much exchange happened. We sat outside for a bit and enjoyed our snacks. This place has been around forever and I've been coming since I was a kid. Don't let the 2 stars fool you. You come here for the soft serve and maybe some fries and burger. Don't come expecting something fancy, it's not gourmet but it's very solid.

Well.....I just paid $14.31 for a single burger.....yea I'm out. And it was painfully ehh.

Don't listen to the hater's out there. This place is a staple in the community for many years. They are known for soft serve ice cream. Not Burgers or corn dogs. Go to in and out for a burger and hot dog on a stick for corn dogs. People there are 2 types of soft serve? Vanilla and chocolate. This isn't some gourmet place so keep your expectations somewhat normal and you'll never be disappointed. Add all the other stuff you want after. Most come here for their sugar fix. Try it at least once sitting in parking lot and relax. Enjoy...

Fosters Freeze reminds me of the Peach Pit from Beverly Hills 90210. Such great high school memories hanging out and doing everything but eat. This was the place to be after school and hangout with friends and bump the speakers, wear dickies and copy homework assignments. I recently got the nostalgia bug and decided to grab a bite while in the neighborhood . The food was average at best and lacked any type of flavor. The frozen patties and chard grilled burnt taste was inexcusable. The prices are great and the menu is fun , but I'll stick to trying the dessert menu on my next visit. This place has great choices from banana splits to soft serve scoops. The employees were straightforward , nothing over the top. Enough parking in the lot and the tables were clean. I can't give anything under three stars because this place has such great memories.

$28 for a kids meal and a burger combo? The only reason why we went here was because my kid wanted a corndog for dinner and it's walking distance from our place, but sheesh!!! The food isn't any better than any other fast food joint. I could have spent the same amount of money on something better. For now on I'm keeping my freezer stocked with frozen corn dogs and fries because never again

Had the worst experience at this fosters, do not recommend because this is not the first time. A older Armenian lady helped us today ( race and age don't matter but leaving that comment for reference so that management can help their team improve) I asked for a chocolate dipped waffle cone with nuts as pictured on display. When I received my cone, there was no nuts so I asked her if it included it ,just like the picture and she said no that if I wanted nuts, I had to tell her. I told her I wanted what was on the photo and I pointed and she knew so she then charged me $1.50 for the nuts. Which is fine but we only got two items and it was 20+.. she then just gave me the exact same cone double dip the cone in chocolate for a second time and added the nuts. Less than 10 nuts for $1.50 is crazy. Therefore, the entire ice cream was melting all over the cone and through at least 15 napkins( no exaggeration). I asked her why couldn't I get a new one especially if she was charging me the extra $1.50 and she said no that if I don't want it, she can give me a full refund. Long story short I stayed quiet and just took the cone half melted.. which I couldn't even eat because it was so melted that it broke apart. The other ice cream that we ordered, we paid extra money for extra toppings. There was not enough strawberry on our freeze therefore I asked her if we can have extra and I will pay and she told me no because I already purchased the ice cream. I'm not sure why she couldn't just sell me a side of it, but she was obviously trying to prove a point and be rude. I don't understand if people are bitter why are they working with attitude? It's not about the money. It's about the experience and the way I was treated. If management can contact me that would be nice.

We arrived 40 minutes before close and they looked at us, closed the window, turned off the lights, and flipped the closed sign. There were people in the drive-thru. They wouldn't even look at us.
