Place was good and clean. Just ran down. You can tell you're not as busy as they once were. That being said, their ice cream is delicious and reminds me of my childhood. Hamburgers are good ingredients. All taste fresh fries were hot and crispy. Good place to go if you have an old car and take a picture

I recently stopped by Foster Freeze in Ventura with my nephew and mom, excited for a classic lunch featuring burgers, fries, and of course, ice cream. However, our experience fell short of expectations, resulting in a 2 1/2 star review. Foster Freeze, once a beloved walk-up counter service establishment near Ventura College, seems to have undergone changes that impacted the overall dining experience. Gone are the tables and benches where patrons could sit and enjoy their meals, and even the small inside dining room has been closed off. To make matters worse, the cashier we encountered was rude and unhelpful. When asked about customer restrooms, which they do have, we were abruptly told they were not available for use. Additionally, when inquired about the closed dining room, the response was dismissive, stating it was simply "locked." The prices have soared to unreasonable levels, with our simple order of two burgers, a kid's hotdog, fries, and drinks totaling almost $40. Considering the lack of seating and poor customer service, this price point was unjustifiable. While the food itself wasn't terrible, it certainly didn't meet the mark of excellence. The hotdog my nephew received was disappointingly small compared to the bun, and my burger was overshadowed by an oversized bun with scanty meat. The saving grace was the fries, which were decent. Sadly, we didn't even get to sample their famed ice cream due to the absence of seating. Foster Freeze seems to rely heavily on its reputation, but our recent visit left much to be desired. It's evident that improvements are needed in areas such as customer service, pricing, and overall dining experience. As a result, I doubt I'll be returning anytime soon unless significant changes are made. Foster Freeze, it's time to step up your game and deliver the quality experience your customers deserve.

One of the hidden jewels of Ventura. It's not the most beautiful, building is outdated, but wow the food is absolutely amazing every time we go. I'm only ever disappointed that I didn't get more ranch - SO GOOD - with the fries and the chicken strips, ghastly for my diet but ALWAYS worth it. Every time.
