H & W Drive In

★★★★☆ 4.3 (521) • $

"H&W Drive In is a cool local spot in Merced. This was not a drive thru fast food restaurant. But, more of a drive in (hence the name) or walk up place. Customers can either drive up to order and have the food delivered to their car. Or, can walk up to the window to place orders to eat at the tables outside or take to-go. The staff was nice. Orders came out quickly.We tried a few of their items - Tuna Sub, Bacon Cheeseburger, Patty Melt, Fries, and Onion Rings. Their fries are crinkle cut in case that matters to you. We enjoyed all of the food. They were all well made and tasty. And the portions seemed to be on the larger size. Prices were quite reasonable. We would go back again if ever in the area."

G's Creamery

★★★★★ 4.5 (377) • $$

"Hot temps put us on the search for cool treats, and this was one of the top ice cream shops Yelp recommended.Looking over the menu, there are so many unique and classic flavors. We skipped over the classics and went with the Indian-inspired after sampling a few. You can have it in a cup, on a waffle cone, sweet bun, or as a banana split.We chose the falooda kulfi and decided to get it on a sweet bun, heated. Oh wow, it was so creamy, the rose flavor refreshingly sweet, that combined with the warm sweet bun was so heavenly and filling! I almost couldn't finish it.The young man who helped us was super sweet, really great service! Definitely will return when in the area."

The Orange Works

"This place never disappoints. Sandwiches are always good. Ice cream options are great. Whether you eat there or get it to go, it I s never a bad choice to come here."

"It tasted so good! The lady is a good service. Someday I go there again. I ordered a Mint Chocolate Chips milkshake."

Sno-White Drive In

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (215) • $$

"They have the most amazing milkshakes and their burgers are great lots of things on the menu just a nice little place."

Burger Shack

★★★★☆ 4 (132) • $

"Burger Shack is just a solid spot for old fashioned thin, tasty, fresh burgers. I always choose the double (even though I can't eat it all) because it's all about the ratio for me. I love the pastrami burger (like a LOT) but my go-to is my "Texan Style" dbl with jalapeños, all the way, mustard only, well done to get a crispy outside - they're never dry, by the way, Burger Shack has that on lock. It hits all the right tangy, spicy cheesy notes, every time. (They're "the good jalapeños," by the way, that just-right ballpark nacho type.)Their shakes are great if you're being extra extravagant, and even though the fried mushrooms and fried zucchini are sysco or equivalent, they're so tasty with the excellent ranch that they're hard to pass up!"

Lulu's Ice Cream Parlor & Treatery

★★★★☆ 3.6 (147) • $

"The Lulu's that I know and love is back! It had been a minute since we had last dined at Lulu's due to the fact that they no longer offered the veggie burger I loved. I was so sad because I love Lulu's fries and milkshakes too.Fast forward a year or so and I had a craving for a Lulu's milkshake, mint chip if you please. We were also hungry for dinner so I quickly checked the online menu to see if there was an entree I would like. To my pleasant surprise my beloved veggie burger had returned! Needless to say we headed out the door and made our way to Lulu's.My veggie burger did not disappoint! My husband enjoyed his cheeseburger and we split the family order of fries naturally. Of course our meal was not complete without mint chip milkshakes for two! Everything was as yummy as I remembered! We will definitely be back. Thank you Lulu's for bringing back your yummy veggie burger and for another delicious meal!"

Fancy Burger

★★★★☆ 3.8 (126) • $

"Burgers are great! Fries and onion rings are terrific as well. I also really like the Philly cheesesteak sandwich. Prices are reasonable and service is prompt and speedy. I do not know if you can eat inside it's a small place but they put out terrific burgers and fries and onion rings. They also deliver by DoorDash but that's pretty pricy, I suppose you pay for convenience."

Frosty Queen

★★★★☆ 3.5 (143) • $

"This hamburger joint has changed ownership and re-opened as Queen. The menu is a little smaller, and of course, prices have gone up like everywhere else. I noticed they seemed to finally stop remodeling so I went through the drive thru for a quick dinner today. I noticed they had a special: three combos for $20 and went for that. The hamburgers are just as good if not better than before and the portion of fries was big. These are crispy crinkle cut fries, pretty yummy. Service was good. I'm looking forward to getting familiar with the new menu haha"

How We Roll Ice Cream

★★★★☆ 3.8 (113)

"A work of art! The menu is huge and a bit overwhelming, to be honest, but once I finally made up my mind I was intrigued by how quick and efficient the staff was. They quickly prepped the ingredients for the different selections and got to work, making 4 orders in the blink of an eye! My rolled up ice cream was delicious. We will return next time we're in town."

Frosty Queen

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (138) • $

"We passed by twice during our recent trip to the Sierras: one the way up and on the way back! Why go anywhere else? It is perfectly situated close to the HWY 99 entrance and exit on the way to and from HWY 145. The food is amazing--we each ordered different items (burger, spicy chicken, philly cheesesteak, crinkle cut fries, fish sandwich) each could not be happier with our meals. Over the years, with our many California road trips during ski team season and camping season, Frosty Queen in Madera is hands down our favorite fast food stop."

Raspados El Diablito Loco

★★★★☆ 4.3 (85) • $

"5 stars and above!! Their fresas con crema... TOP TIER lol. Soo good. A lot of places have watery fresas con crema or give old strawberries which make it gross/soggy. This place has nailed the balance of all the ingredients for this dish. Another snack that's soo yummy here is their corn esquite! I always come here when I'm craving one. I've tried many different places for esquite and this one comes out on top. My FAVORITE place for Mexican snack goodies. They are reasonably priced and their portion size is good! A lot of places are overpriced when it comes to Mexican goodies. In addition, the customer service is great!! There is usually the same girl working there and she is always soo sweet :,) They get really busy here and even then she's always so nice. Her customer service is definitely the cherry on top that keeps me coming here. If you come here I recommend to try their corn esquite, fresas con crema or mangoneada depending on what you're craving."

Sprinkles Donuts

★★★★☆ 4.4 (73) • $

"I have to say that I've been coming to this donut shop for at least 5 yrs. They make an EXCELLENT product and tell my friend's all bout it. Sareeth(sp) was nice enough to bring my donuts out to my car after telling her that I became paralyzed from the nipple line down. She as vey empathetic towards my situation and personally hand delivered my donuts to me and engaged IN GOOD CASUAL CONVO. These are the important things that go a long way with customers and is why I will continue top support them. Now as far as the donuts. The earlier you get them the better. They're fresh, soft, pillowey goodness. The maple bar is my go to. They run out earlier BTW."

Menchies

★★★★★ 4.7 (61)

"I am basing my review only on the Dole Pineapple whip, not the yogurt. I do not like yogurt and would not come here if they did not have Dole Pineapple whip. As you can surmise, I do not like yogurt. What I really don't like are the exorbitant prices that yogurt shops charge. Yogurt must be like crack to those who love it. At least that is what it seems like to me with all the ridiculous pricing. For that I have to give them one less star.I prefer Menchies over their local competitor who shall remain nameless. They both sell Dole whip, but their competitor does not have it on a daily basis. Hence the reason I come here when I need my Pineapple fix."

Orange Works - Visalia

★★★★☆ 4 (67) • $

"We were trying to find a place to buy or pick oranges. We were so lucky we found this place it wasn't open yet but there was a gentleman out back unloading a truck who I think may have been the owner. He offered to sell to us even though they were not yet open we got 4 orange ice creams and some oranges! Wow the ice cream was amazing I don't even know how to describe it!! I wish this place was in Virginia."

Rush Bowls

★★★★★ 4.5 (50) • $

"This locally owned business has tremendous customer service. Although I was a fan for myself, I recently ordered catering (smoothies) for the office and it couldn't have been better! There was only one size and it was huge. I ordered the 2 most popular smoothies, Tropical Bliss and Strawberry Sunrise. Both were a hit and delivered on time. Lovely local business with emphasis on serving wellness with awesome customer service. The interior is tight and there is a little construction going on next door but it's conveniently located off Mooney Blvd. near the Sequoia Mall. Pop in for a quick treat! You won't be disappointed."

La Michoacana PLUS -Fresno

★★★★☆ 3.5 (67) • $

"La Michoacán's Plus is and excellent Mexican ice cream parlor. There is also a La Michoacán's Premium. Both parlors are excellent. The variety of flavors are excellent. Great friendly service. The menu is diverse with a great selection of different treats. The ice cream is made from milk. Others are made with water. They can make ice cream cones, milk shakes, banana splits ad great smoothies. There are also wonderful fresh fruit treats that are delicious. Tonight we are having Mangoladas with lots of mango, pineapple and other great tasting fruit. Lime juice and chamoy (spicy) sauce that makes the fruit so delicious. We love this tasty treat. The ice cream is amazing. Very smooth, creamy and tasty. My favorites are vanilla, coconut, strawberry and queso. They are so wonderful! You will want to come back frequently. The palettes (popsicles) come in a variety of flavors too! Try this today. Door Dash will deliver right to your door. Yummy!"

Fosters Freeze

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (74) • $

"I recommend this establishment, the ice cream is so delicious, twisters are the favorite. They honestly have a good vibe and always have kind and nice employees. Today I passed by and got an ice cream cone and a burger, I suffer from HBP and the burger made it go higher. But honestly it's worth it! But if you have high blood pressure don't consume the burgers, they are insultingly good like a mountain of flavors honestly good but really made my preasure go up would recommend at least trying a burger from this establishment once but the ice cream is a must have while stopping at this place"

Alfa y Omega

"Update 09/08/2020: during this pandemic I'm so glad to see this establishment open!!!! They make such delicious and sweet treats. It's a local fav and a necessity on these hot summer days and nights. The fruit is fresh and diced and sliced to perfection. Social distancing is a must, along with a face mask and hand sanitizer available as needed. Everything's togo. This place is delicious. Fresh fruits, good ceviche, huge loaded baked potato, ice cream, shakes, flavored waters and much more!!!!! A lady said the shrimp cocktail was the best, have to try that next. Family owned for the past 8 years. They are all super nice. Great prices for the quality of the food and swrvBeat high school lunch rush and miss the 1220-1250 crowd M-F. It's a small grab and go like place but there are 2 tables with 4 chairs. Will definitely be back for Round 3 before this vacation is over!!!!"

Acai Bar

★★★★★ 4.7 (22)

"I really think Hanford was lucky to get such a beautiful store front with this shop because it's very chic, clean, trendy, and welcoming. Definitely adds to the corner of the building. And from the inside, a beautiful view. Tall glass window looking into the town while enjoying a bite. What's most impressive is the quality of their items. It's so fresh and tasty. Even the toast they used is very good, which tells you they really spent time wanting to perfect their plates. Nothing is overlooked. The service is super friendly. It's a chill vibe inside."

El Mundo De Sabores

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (27)

"My boyfriend and I love coming here, especially in the summer when it's hot out and we order their delicious mangoneadas. The owners are really nice and patient. This place is really, really good for sweet stuff (candies, and fruits)! The prices are decent, and they give a lot for what you pay. I recommend the mangoneadas, tostilocos, the vanilla raspado, and any of the crazy fruits they have listed. I have yet to try their other menu items, but a lot of people always order them so I know it's good!"

La Michoacana Plus - Tulare

★★★★☆ 3.5 (23)

"I've been wanting to try this place for sometime now and I'm sure glad I did. Located in the Walmart/foodsco parking lot this place is not hard to miss with all the festive colors. The inside is even more amazing.There is so many different ice cream flavors to choose from, I almost got 2 scoops instead of one. I got the chamoy flavored ice cream and I was not disappointed, I was surprised there was an Ice cream that flavor!! My son got the chocolate, also delicious. I also ordered the hot Cheetos with corn, it was corn soup with hot Cheetos on top, also delicious. My mother enjoyed the watermelon ice cream on a stick. The customer service here is top notch!!! You won't find anybody friendlier. I'm so happy we have an ice cream parlor here."

I got a coffee lovers and a chocolate devotion because I couldn't figure out which one I wanted. I came home and ate The coffee lovers, I'll save the chocolate devotion for another day. The ice cream was wonderful and a great quality. The employees were super nice when I walked in. The young lady that assisted me was very polite. The employees were friendly and fast. There were two families in front of me and I was in and out in no time."

La Michoacana Plus - Madera

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (26)

"It's nice seeing more mainstream businesses open in Madera, surprisingly during Covid-19 this place decided to open up. This location is a little smaller than some of the other locations and has no outdoor seating. Ice creams, aguas and munchies, Mexican treats a plenty here.I've been to this location a couple times since recently opening and yes it was busy after opening but now has died down a little. I like to go places when I think there will not be many people, if it's packed I will come back another time. My last visit there was only two people inside (WINNING). Yes masks are required, staff wear them too. The munchies, ice creams and drinks are all pretty good, the selection and variety is better than most by the way. Price is affordable and I usually buy extra paletas to keep in the freezer. The store is clean but could be cleaner (door sanitizing) etc. Paying is easy if you have a card with a chip. No swiping or inserting, just tap the card on the device and done. This is the only place in town I would recommend if your looking.."

La Michoacana Plus - Selma

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (18)

"La Michoacana is very different from the ones I've been too. I have to say I really loved the decor and layout of the place. The service was efficient and staff was friendly. I loooved their large variety of ice cream and the size of their tostilocos. My favorite item was the Mangoneada with strawberry ice cream. I would definitely come back with family to try more ice cram flavors."

"Passing by and grabbed some iced coffee. Located conveniently located inside of a gas station with other little vendors.Nice staff and young gal that helped me out today. Cookie was good but not worth $5. Cookies were $4.5 each. I got the smoreo cookie. Average med size, slightly underdone. Unfortunately, I would not return for this $5 cookie."
