About Fosters Freeze

Fosters Freeze is an old-school fast food restaurant with a retro charm. The ice cream is great, and the fast food options are tasty, offering a wide variety. The outside tables provide a pleasant setting to enjoy a hot sundae. This Santa Cruz local institution is a legacy NorCal small business chain, known for its respectful and efficient employees, and delicious chocolate milkshakes.

The restaurant offers a cool and casual atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating. Customers praise the excellent and friendly service, with the food being simple yet satisfying. The fish and chips dish is a popular choice, with the fish being tender and cooked perfectly, accompanied by crinkle-cut fries that are filling and not overly salty. The sauces, such as tartar and ranch, are also well-received.

Fosters Freeze is a nostalgic destination for many, with some customers having visited since their childhood. The ice cream is a standout, and the classic Peanut Butter Banana Shake is a hit. While the restaurant only accepts cash, there is an ATM available on-site for convenience.

Share your opinion about Fosters Freeze

Santa Cruz local instution.

This is a legacy NorCal small business chain.

If you're not vegan you need to be supporting these people.

The employees in Santa Cruz are respectful, efficient and maybe not earning a living wage required for the rents here.

They work very late on the weekends until 3am. Shop local is up to YOU.
