Fosters Freeze — Restaurant in Campbell

Empirically there isn't much reason to eat here if you don't know why you are doing it. The soft serve is pretty typical, the things from the griddle and fryer basket are also unremarkable. You can find more modern, cleaner places with better food for less money. So why eat here anyway? Well, that's the interesting thing really... Foster's Freeze grew up out of the same post WWII social and economic conditions that launched so many famous fast-food chains but somehow they never quite made it really big. Born in a time of hopefulness and never quite making it big yet also strangely hanging on even in the face of what are sometimes long odds. In this way they are emblematic of the American Dream. As a result of being present but never saturating an area, the locations tend to stand out as a bit unusual, and since there isn't such corporate pressure toward conformity (that's expensive) the locations tend to more closely reflect their local area and also be a bit dated. If you parents and grandparents took you for french-fries and soft-serve here and you remember the building, well remember it in better days perhaps but it's still comforting. So if the building and fixtures are dated, the menu a bit simple, and the whole thing is a bit shabby... well that's an American institution in it's own way,...

The food was very delicious!! But customer service was not so good, so needs improvement. We tried calling this place multiple times and no answer because on Yelp it appeared to be closed. Since we were driving by the area and looking for a place to grab and go meal. Eli was really helpful and understanding. Our order was wrong we were missing some fries and shakes. Good thing we checked before leaving the parking lot. I usually take pictures of the location and food but was too busy checking everything. Overall compared to the pictures of the menu taken a month ago to 12/10/21 the prices have increased to what we paid if I compare it to my receipt. In my opinion, it was pricy but worth a meal! The pumpkin spice shake was so delicious! Next time I’ll try their twisters and other yummy sweet desserts. The fries from this place were great haven’t had fries like that elsewhere. For reference, we ordered 6 people. 1 grilled chicken combo L fries, L soda, 1 grilled chicken, 2 corns dogs, peppermint shake M, double-decker combo with L fries and L oreo shake, chicken spicy como small fries, medium lemonade, a double-decker with L fries and Medium pumpkin spice shake with whipped cream. Everyone enjoyed their meal! Overall we paid...

I took my son out for a late lunch today. It was a toss up between Foster Freeze & Der Wienersnitzel. My son wanted FF. As they say, first impressions say it all. We should've left immediately and walked down to Der Weinersnitzel. My son wanted to try it. From the walk up window inside the dinning room you could see it wasn't very clean. The staff of 3 were so rude. They weren't even busy. It cost $35.36 for our meal which was really a shock! Two smaal burgers (no cheese) a medium fry & a small unsweetened tea. The fries were the ONLY good thing about the place. We took one bite and a sip of my unsweetened tea because ("they don't got sweet & low or any kind of sugar"). This was explained after the fact, and tossed it in the trash!🤮 The cashier had the nerve to ask my son to come back and buss his own table, (there was packets of cathup left behind). Unbelievable! We left and walked down to Der Wienersnitzel and spent more money but the food is consistent a fresh there. Think again before you stop in. In a...
