I had the California cheeseburger with onion rings. It was fantastic! I came in with a large group at the last minute, and they accommodated us flawlessly. The service was so quick. I would absolutely go back if I'm ever in California again.Parking: It's a very busy area with lots.of shops nearby.

The restaurant looks awesome! I came here just for ice cream and I have never seen anything like it! It’s very expensive for ice cream, but you get A LOT! I have never seen this much ice cream at any place I have been to and the presentation is amazing! The guy helping me was a younger tall guy and he was super helpful and funny! Only giving it 4 because it’s over priced, but everything here is perfect!

Good solid food, great ice cream and the various ways it is served.Parking can be hectic during holidays and another busy weekend.The ice cream is excellent but a little expensive. The food was sold, really enjoyed the tri-tip sandwich and was not disappointed. It was messy, but very tasty. The onion rings were great, the ranch saw was a little weak.Wife's club sandwich was large sns delicious.

Family dining is fun with kids. The ice cream is the best quality that ice cream can have! We had a Spumoni hot fudge sundae that is a real hot fudge and homemade whipped cream. Seasonal flavors are on the menu right now. We're definitely coming back for an ice cream dessert. The burgers are better than fast food. They are like burgers that you would make at home. The fries are typical and served hot. The experience is the best of the family environment with plenty of flavors for ice cream that other creameries do not offer. It has a large dining room with the sound of kids echoing through it. The service staff is young and works as a team.

That might have been the best Western burger ever. I think maybe because it was slathered, yes, that is the word, with BBQ sauce Crispin bacon. Wow perfect. Then we had a Sunday a black and tan.Wonderfully delicious we laughed like we were kids again just foe a minute. Worth it for sure. Of course it might shorten your life if you indulge to often but today no regrets.

Ordered a shrimp po boy and it’s not what expected. Shrimp was fried in batter, not good. When I order a po boy, I already have bread. Why does the shrimp need to be fried in batter, this is not how a NOLA PO BOY is made. Then they wouldn’t take sandwich of bill due to me taking a bite. My kids did not care for the grilled cheese or beef hot dog, but they LOVED the fries.Kid-friendliness: The loved the banana sundae jr

Very lpud place i guess because everyone's hopped up on sugar 🤷‍♀️The onion rings were excellent but not enough meat on the phili cheese steakThe jollipanio poppers have cream cheese in them let them cool.Great place to celebrate an older childs birthdayDietary restrictions: I cant have soybean oil, but they used canola and i was able to eat the most delectable onion ringsParking: Not very many spots near by but it was in a huge parking lot but the parking lot is a bit broken up amd you may have to walk farKid-friendliness: If your kid can sit still and not runnaround while waoting for food they are old ebough to celebrate a birthday here.

I came here for lunch and a 🍨. The patty melt was hot and fresh. The ice cream was delicious. If you've never been here, be prepared because the sundaes run about $20. They are massive, though, for the price. Fentons is a nice treat and conveniently located in the nut tree shopping mall in vacaville.Parking: Plenty of parking behind fentons off to the side.Kid-friendliness: Great place for a kids party

We came for Saturday night dinner. This is the busiest restaurant I've eaten at. It is super popular! The tables were constantly full inside and outside. The staff are hustling yet still very friendly.Our order was taken and the food was out very quickly! I got the Jalapeno burger (a special) lettuce wrapped. I really liked how they wrapped it in wax paper and pinned it closed with a toothpick. It made eating a lettuce wrap so much easier. The burger itself was tasty and juicy. I also added a side salad, and it didn't look anything special but I really enjoyed it. I gobbled my meal down. The rest of the group got a buffalo chicken sandwich (also a special), Fenton's crab melt, and a half crab melt sandwich with chicken noodle soup. We were too full for ice cream, but we watched a lot of beautiful ice creams come out!My only gripe would be that the bathrooms could be attended a bit more. All in all, I respect the staff as it was clear they were trying their best. We could even see the cooks making the burgers, and at one point, they were running out of counter space for all the dishes ready to go out, and the runner was constantly carrying multiple at a time to deliver orders.

We love Fenton’s!! When I was in high school we would cut school from time-to-time and go to Fenton’s on Piedmont Avenue in Oakland. Then, when I was in college I lived in Oakland and visited Fenton’s often. Now, as a middle-aged Mom who lives in the Foothills, I love being able to swing into the Vacaville location when returning from Bay Area trips. It was packed on a Saturday evening but we were seated quickly. The server greeted us right away and our orders came out fast. As always, the ice cream was the star of the show! We did order some chicken strips so we had *something* with some protein for dinner. LOL They were good.

I’ve passed by this place a few times in the past few years, but I just made it inside. I ordered two ice cream scoops: green tea and mocha Royal, which is coffee and chocolate chips. The portion was humongous, and it came with two chocolate cookies. The green tea tastes like nothing. Whatever they added to make the color green, it’s not tea. Maybe there’s green tea in the ingredients, but the food coloring made it green, certainly not the tea. The green tea ice cream also has a powdery texture that I could feel it on my tongue with every spoon. This residue could be the powdered green tea leaves. If that’s the case, it must have been really bad quality green tea or expired (old) green tea fannings (dust).The Mocha Royal has a much better texture and more smooth, but the chocolate chips were very bad quality that I kept spitting them out.The atmosphere was more of a diner atmosphere with groups of birthday celebrations. They sing happy birthday frequently. They also cook food in the same open space. So if you’re there to eat ice cream, expect to smell hamburger and burning oil.I love ice cream. Would I go there again? Most likely not.

We don't get to Fentons much, but it's a good place to go for a quick lunch when traveling from the Sacramento area to the Bay area. I wouldn't advise going there if you want quiet, lots of kids and very open. The food and ice cream is great as well as the service!Enjoy!Parking: Lots!Kid-friendliness: Also lots of kids.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy

Typically stop by when in the area, usually because of a kid's sporting event. Sometimes for food and ice cream, other times for ice cream to go. Submitting this review based on my recent visit which was for a double scoop to go. Service was fast and friendly, but the main reason for the review is I noticed the ice cream to be creamier than usual. Ice cream has always been good here, but during this visit it seemed even better than before. I had two flavors, and it was noticable with both.

We went there for dinner around 5:45 pm. We looked menu for like 30 mins, nobody came to take our order. Finally somebody came and just said she will take an order, i guess restaurant was busy so she went serving other customers. We saw some other customers were being serve those who even came after us. 15 mins after more we requested another server to take an order. We had 8 orders but we got only 7 orders. One order was missing.Well food was good though. No complaint on food but I got only complaint of serving which made us disappointed. Please do sever and look for every customers don’t miss any customers.

Fenton's Ice Cream Shop in Vacaville is a true delight for ice cream lovers.Despite the bustling Saturday night crowd, the wait time at Fenton's was pleasantly short. The efficient staff ensured that customers were served promptly, allowing us to enjoy our ice cream without delay. The bustling atmosphere added to the overall energy and excitement of the visit.There were so many options, we chose the coconut pineapple ice cream. With each creamy spoonful, the flavors of coconut and pineapple come to life, creating a harmonious blend of sweet and tangy. The texture is incredibly smooth, making each bite a luscious and indulgent experience. The small size we ordered was more than generous, with the ice cream overflowing from the cup, adding an extra touch of excitement.Beyond the delicious ice cream and efficient service, Fenton's exudes a nostalgic charm that adds to the overall experience. The old-fashioned décor and classic ice cream parlor ambiance take you back in time, creating a sense of warmth and comfort.Fenton's Ice Cream Shop in Vacaville is a must-visit for ice cream enthusiasts. Their coconut pineapple ice cream is a creamy and flavorful delight that transports you to a tropical paradise. Despite the busy Saturday night, the wait time was short, allowing us to indulge in our sweet treat without delay. With its nostalgic charm and exceptional flavors, Fenton's is a destination that guarantees a memorable and satisfying ice cream experience.

The wife and I stopped on the way back home. We have never been able to get into the Fenton's in Oakland, so we thought to give this location a try.Burger and sandwiches mostly. Ice cream creations also. We both tried a sandwich and found them to be okay, not great or outstanding. The ice cream creations are OUTSTANDING.The regular food is a little overpriced. The ice cream, well you get what you pay for.Service was very good.We will stop again but only for an ice cream treat.

We had a great experience taking our kids for ice cream. Nate was wonderful and very patient with our kids. He went out of his way to help us pick ice cream flavors for them. He had a smile was very kind with us through the process. Great customer service skills. Definitely an asset to this company. We will be back.

Quality of food seemed to have gone down since the last time we ate there. Green beans had very small portions for an expensive appetizer. You get way more at Habit Burger. Also, the fish sandwich was dry or overcooked, and the beef in the French dip didn't taste fresh. They even put the wrong side orders on our plates, so we had to switch out just to get our order correct. Ice cream orders still tasted great. Sad that it felt they were starting to go down in their food quality.
