Their Old Fashion burger features a quarter-pound patty, a slice of American cheese, lettuce, tomato pickles, and Foster All American Sauce (i.e. "secret sauce").
It was $2.99 for the burger.
As far as a standard burger goes, this one was pretty average. All the ingredients were well proportioned without any excess of one or another, but the only thing I really noted was that the lettuce was very nice; a fresh, crispy leaf was folded on itself. Also, it's an onion-less burger.
The bun was a bit lighter than the norm and seemed un-toasted. Not so great if you're getting it to-go as the sauce would absorb into the bun pretty easily.
When I saw that you had reviewed this, I figured there was no way you would like it much. We used to get these once in a while, and I was never very impressed... as you accurately said, their burgers are simply average. I think their chili dogs are a little better though.
ReplyDeleteI grew up on Foster's Freeze but I really can't recall ever getting a simple burger there. They're more about milkshakes, greasy mozzarella sticks and fried mushrooms and I remember liking their BLT. Just a simple greasy shack. Good for what they are. I remember their menu being extremely large for a place where I can't imagine people order anything too wild.
ReplyDeleteThe Foster's Freezes have been serving burgers since I was a child...over 45 years now.. and more..I used to enjoy when they had bbq beef sandwiches..you could also get things like cherry dr. peppers.. Their best burger is The Boss..with onion rings inside.. and they have great Nathan's hot dogs now.. Always a solid burger place.. Dunno where you live, But I've never seen a Foster's WITHOUT burgers.
