We stopped at Fenton's on the way home from the Bay Area and couldn't be more happy with the experience. My son had the 3 Slider Special and the burgers were cooked to perfection and the curly fries were delicious. My wife had the Cob Salad which was huge and had plenty of extras. Finally, I had the French dip... More

Fenton's is a family tradition, in fact it is where my parents met on a double date over 60 years ago at the Oakland restaurant. The food was great, nice service and tooo much ice cream to eat. It is the best ice cream in California. I found it my chance by looking at trip advisor reviews for restaurants and... More

I recently took my great niece to Fentons at the Nut Tree for her birthday. I have been going to Fentons (Oakland) for over 50 years and I still enjoy the experience. Even though the place was really crowded, the service was great. Everyone was running around trying to get customers their orders. I have been having Fentons' crab sandwich... More

I was in California visiting my sister and brother-in-law and they took me to Fenton's. Their sundaes are HUGE but it's the best ice cream I have ever ate! If you wanna go big on great ice cream, go to Fenton's! (P.S. Make sure you watch Up! because there is a scene that features that place!)

We just ate close by and wanted to try the ice cream. We just wanted a cone so we did not get a seat. The "side service" was lacking a little but the ice cream real good. Worth the stop when close by

We used to go to Fentons In Oakland all the time when I was growing up in the Bay Area. When we were traveling last summer I could not resist stopping at a new Fenton's at The Nut Tree. I had not been to Fenton's in years. The icecream was still delicious- and the carmel was still amazing. However, serving... More

I had found out about Fenton's due to a posting from Facebook. I had this destination on mind for awhile. On my spur of the moment trip to CA this time of year, I decided to go. A great choice... the food is excellent, but the desserts are really what matter. Everything is fresh, the ice cream made at the... More

No chains here - all family owned! I consider myself an ice cream addict so this makes me a self proclaimed expert in the field of taste testing! Fenton's offers homemade, fresh ingredients, not full of tire rubber and preservatives like you find in the store brands - hence the reason it melts faster than you can eat it (but... More

We have been going to Fenton's in Oakland for 45 years and stopped here in Vacaville when we noticed the new Fenton's store. I thought it was a little pricey and lacked the atmosphere of Oakland. But maybe new is hard to better the tried and true old spot. A little disappointed.
