Fosters Freeze — Restaurant in Milpitas

Fosters is one of the last remaining old school drive up restaurants in the bay area, and I've been going there since I was a kid the 80's. As far as I know, the same family has been running it the entire time. Everyone who works there is friendly and efficient, even when they're slammed. Expect a little bit of a wait because they make everything as it's ordered. The food is exactly the kind of 50's car hop style grilled and deep fried goodness you would hope for. The extensive menu has something for everyone, including vegetarian options. The meat is tasty and the fried items are perfectly crispy every time. If you're looking for dessert treats, there are enough soft serve ice cream and shake/malt options to make your head spin! I highly recommend the deep fried burritos, chili dog, and for dessert, a triple berry malt, but you really can't go wrong with anything...

I love soft serve ice cream. It has to be near freezing when it comes out of machine. I could tell about how fast it was coming out that it would be sub-par. That's because, when you take your first bite, the ice cream should have somewhat of a snapping feeling as it leaves the cone onto you lips. Move of the time you just have to lower the temperature and that's all it takes!! And when you chocolate dip the icecream, it stays colder so the chocolate actually "seals" the ice from leaking nearly at. I'm over 60 yrs old and I know these old tricks. I also know the old tricks the management tries to save a little money by not keeping it as cold!,and as far as I'm concerned, as well as other old timers, isnt the same thing we loved when we were...

If you're into old school burgers, fries, shakes and a whole lot more you'll really want to visit this drive up Foster's. It's run by people who care and have personality, which is really the key at any business. The staff gets an A+ grade, The food, another A+ grade, was fantastic. Made to order at time of order is the best. I had a special order burger and fries. The burger wasn't too greasy and very tasty. The fries were fresh with just the right amount of crisp. I hate soggy or undercooked fries which I frequently I've experienced at other fast food places. And my favorite beverage to wash all that down is their Pepsi Freeze. Oh ya, the bathroom was clean, really clean. My girlfriend and I...
