Fosters Freeze — Restaurant in San Leandro

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...

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...

Wow ! Fosters Freeze ! How great that some places have been around for such a long time. The moment I got to this Concord location the cheeseburger on the display window outside looked so tempting but I had just had lunch earlier. However when I went inside the restaurant I was very happy to see that my all time favorite chocolate ice cream dipped in chocolate covering was available. The ice cream handler was very generous with my ice cream cone serving. And at around 4.00 a medium size it is really quite the local value. There was ample seating available in a clean environment albeit a bit aged like it was in the 70s. I'm glad Fosters is still here and I will continue to be a loyal customer in the hopes that it will continue to be around in the days to come...
