I rarely eat meat but when I do it must be amazing. This is a cute little burger joint that serves smash burgers and ice cream treats. It is clean delicious and filled with art. May I say that the service was great? It was. If you're newr the courthouse or OPD HQ tjis is super convenient. read more

I must admit that I'm very late to the smash burger trend! After a day of kids' birthday parties and lots of sweets, I fancied a burger. My husband was agreeable for once, so we took the kid to Lana's (it's one of her friends' names, haha). The location in Old Oakland is fine at the weekend. It might be difficult to find parking during the week, though. We basically parked right outside. We ordered three burgers and some fries, and just had water from the cute water station. Everything was excellent! The food was great, the staff were friendly and the bathroom was clean (a big plus!). read more

Super disappointed :( I've been craving the cookies from here for quite some time, I haven't stopped thinking about them since the last time I've had them over 2 years ago. I finally had a "cheat day" and ordered a dozen, I was super sad that they don't taste the same AT ALL. They lacked flavor (tasteless actually) and very dry. Not the delicious, flavor pact, soft cookies I've previously had. Would no longer recommend. We purchased chocolate chip cookies, cookies and cream, and snickerdoodle. They were all a miss. Hard pass read more

My partner found this location after we swam in the area. We arrived and both the exterior and interior are quite aesthetically pleasing, sleek and very clean. The color palette is so nice. We got two smashburgers and fries fried in tallow and the smashburgers were satisfying but not as flavorful as other smashburger places. The service was fast and informative and the retro feel is appealing. I feel the ice cream and cookies are far more popular than the burgers though so we have to try that next time. read more

I sampled almost all of their flavors and there was a common theme: I thought the flavors were unique and excellent, but the ice cream itself was a bit mediocre. The ice cream tasted too watery (i.e. lacking consistency & texture) and the sweetness felt uneven. The guy working at the counter was super nice though and it has a clean and sleek interior. 3.7/5 read more

Wow. Their smash burgers and fries are GOOD! I ordered the old town western (and tried some of the okie onion, which was also great) and split a side of hot fries. My burger came with patties that were both caramelized and juicy, crispy fried onion, two strips of bacon, american cheese, and house bbq sauce. This was definitely a "cheat meal" type of burger with how heavy the ingredients are, but dang, was this delicious. The fries had cajun seasoning on them and were excellent too! Next time I'll try their Asian inspired ice cream flavors if I have room for dessert. Seating is a bit limited but there is parking outside so this is a good spot for to-go orders. Service and food were quick on a Sunday night. I'll be back! read more

WHEN: Sun @12:15pm Just finished an early lunch so it was natural to walk on over to the ice scream shop that used to be Cookiebar when I last came here: Lana's. Now I'm feeling regret that I did not do lunch here as well because they serve burgers too! But with my full belly, decided to go for: SMALL ICE-CREAM - $6.50 I get up to 2 flavors, which I went for BLACK SESAME and VIETNAMESE COFFEE. Oh boy did I choose right because it was both a great combo and yummy flavors as their own! They offer seatings both inside and outside, but we walked to this lower level area to eat. Ice-cream here really is good, and they have such amazing and unique flavors. read more

Time for an updated Review obviously!! Today is 8/25/25! So first off I love this place! Great music! Great staff! Shout out to John for always hooking it uppppp!!! My favorite things to get here are the Chicken Sandwich which is equally crunchy as it is delicious with that home made ranch dressing to take it over the top! I love the Hot Tots! Emphasis on the TOTS! Okuuuurrrr! You need to get those! And thirdly their Grasshopper ice cream! What can I say!? YUM! My hubs and I pretty much frequent this place whenever we can't figure out what to eat because we know it's always gonna be delicious! So glad Lana's came around and turned into a local ice cream parlor/ joint for super delicious grub! read more

Lana's in Oakland makes a delicious Western BBQ smash burger with crispy onions and bacon! I wasn't expecting such a delicious burger from a place that mostly serves ice cream and shakes but also happens to specialize in crispy yummy smash burgers. I devoured my Smash burger and fries which were fried in tallow and didn't leave enough room for ice cream. The staff is friendly and pack in the flavor with large portions. But the vibes and the food were so good, I can't wait to come back and try this place again. I've heard that this has been an Oakland staple for a while now and I totally see why. Located in downtown Oakland's historic old Oakland area there is plenty of street parking and lot a block way. Add this restaurant to your list when you're in the mood for some burgers shakes, fries and homemade ice cream. read more

I've had a lot of smash burgers, and nothing comes close to Lana's Smash Burger. This place is hands down the best in town. The patties are perfectly smashed with that crispy edge, super juicy inside, and seasoned just right. The bun is soft but holds everything together, and the balance of toppings is on point, nothing overpowering, just straight quality. You can tell they don't cut corners. Every bite tastes fresh, hot, and made with intention. It's one of those spots where you take a bite and immediately know you'll be back. If you're serious about burgers, this is the spot. No hype, just one of the best smash burgers you'll find. read more

Now that I've had the burgers the chicken sandwich the ice cream there and packed to go - the cookies - ALL OF EVERRRRRYTHING! Yum. That is all I can say! YUM! Everything was satisfying. Love how we can casually walk in - line up and order a meal and then later grab a dessert! Such cutesy vibe too! The fries and tots are better without the extra seasoning - so grab them plain! Their ice cream is yummy creamy and their chicken sandwich was moist and seasoned well! Really didn't have a thing to complain about. I always add Lana's as an option when thinking about grabbing a bite and they are so unsuspecting that it has become one of our faves. read more

Literally stopped by Lana's by pure accident! I was heading to a coffee shop to work for a while and couldn't find parking. I saw a young lady going to her car and I asked if she was leaving. She said, "Yes, after I get my ice cream." I said, "What ice cream? Where?" She replied, "Lana's!" and pointed to the store a few doors up. Coffee shop plans abandoned! I wandered into the ice cream shop (after becoming an expert thanks to Yelp, of course lol) and was greeted by Diego. I had a few flavor questions and Diego invited me to try a few. I decided on the oatmeal cookie and the banana oreo. DEElicious! Ice cream is scratch made in house, using full fat milk. How Lana's mastered the texture between soft serve and firm...I'd pay for the secret! I think I ordered the wrong cookie (meant to get a toffee cookie) but mine tasted like chocolate with a lovely finishing salt on top. I started texting my friends asking had they been to Lana's and if not, get here neowww! Diego said the food items are good as well. As I was leaving a saw a few diners eating burgers and I asked if there were good. Both turned around with jaws full and gave me a double things up with a nod. I'll be back again, Diego! read more

Came here after dinner & shopping for a sweet treat. The ice cream flavors are unique but so unique you question what you'd actually like. The gentleman who helped us immediately greeted us with a warm hello when we walked in and let us know we had the option of sampling any of the flavors. We tried the Vietnamese coffee flavor and the black sesame. They were so creamy and delicious we opted for those. Turns out they make the ice cream in house. No wonder it was so good! The place has some seating but it fills up quickly. They also have smash burger options and other food. We'll for sure be back! read more

This burger joint gives the perfect old school vibe. It is so cute and retro and the decorations make you feel like you're in a different time period. I came on a Friday night and it wasn't too busy. There was a good amount of people waiting for food and others were getting ice cream. It was about a 15-minute wait for a deluxe burger, okie onion smash, and hot tots. The burgers were great! They were juicy and cooked to perfection. Pairing it with ketchup and ranch gives it extra flavor. The hot tots are seasoned with different spices and they were a little over seasoned to me. I had to dust some off with napkins to better enjoy it. But they were crispy and delicious! I can't wait to come back! read more

I came here just for an ice cream after dinner. There's not too many ice cream spots in the area, and this is the best one I know of so far. The flavors seem to always be rotating and I love seeing Asian influenced flavors! I chose lemon blueberry swirl this time and it was surprisingly very creamy rather than icy like other places that cheap out on their recipes. Definitely recommend trying! The staff were very friendly when taking my order. On another note, this is far from being a nice neighborhood. The more unpleasant characters of Oakland will always find their way here. This may not be the best spot for families and the faint of heart. That being said, I witnessed the staff handle a difficult situation amazingly and they did not tolerate or enable the craziness. 5/5 for the staff here for what they go through on a daily basis. read more

Let's get this out of the way. You're not eating here tk be healthy. It will be greasy and fatty just the way you Americans like it. I got the Deluxe because I wanted to feel special with hot fries. Got order doordash. It was actually really good and in my opinion well priced! The fries were not HOT as in spicy but had a nice flavor too it and SALTY. So make sure you're ok with fries giving you a healthy dose of salt intake for your meal. Added to my favorites for burgers when I want a smash burger. read more

Used to frequent Lana's (before it rebranded it was CookieBar Creamery) back in the COVID-19 times and always thought they had some of the better ice cream flavor ideas and execution than other spots in Oakland. Before they even started offering burgers and fries, some of our favorite flavors were their black sesame, viet coffee (probably the best version I have had), and matcha. Their milkshakes were also really good especially if you liked them on the thicker side. When they rebranded as Lana's, we also wanted to go and try the burgers and fries. We have had their regular and curly fries when they started offering it prior to the rebrand and remember them being really nice and crisp with a good pepper seasoning on the outside. So when we went post-rebrand, we ended up opting to try their tots instead. We got their classic double smash burger and regular tots. After trying it, all I have to say is that this smash burger is on par with some of the best you can get in the Bay Area. Lovely's and Beep's Burgers have been my S-Tier in the Bay but Lana's definitely deserves to be in that conversation. I generally think of a good smash burger as giving you that type of feeling of eating a McDonald's hamburger - if it was good and made fresh. It should be the pinnacle of nostalgic American eats and the juiciness, crispy edges, and beefiness of the meat at Lana's definitely evokes some of that feeling. The fries and tots pair really well, even if they aren't the very best I have had. They are crispy and seasoned incredibly well. I know that online it seems like some people tend to think of Lana's as overrated but I think that can't be farther from the truth because it is one of the best burgers I have had here over the years and deserves to be put on that pedestal. read more

Cool little spot I stopped in to grab some ice cream on a weeknight. The place was open late and worked out perfectly. I was drawn in by the banana Oreo flavor which was a first for me and I have to say it was super tasty. Ice cream was firm but creamy and definitely had a well pronounced banana flavor. Their cookies looked good as well but ice cream seems to be the star of the show despite having some other entree options as well. The interior was bright and clean and had nice art work around. Overall great place to stop if you're in the area. read more

It was between this and another joint when my partner and I decided to DoorDash a burger on a rainy day. Y'all Yelpers convinced me -- this was a damn good burger. Even takeout and a bit of sitting didn't make the burger taste any worse. The two smash patties were buttery and the sweet bun made it even better. I added grilled onions which didn't disappoint (will it ever?) Really bummed that we ordered their house made ranch and our order showed up without it, but we're coming back to try it. The fries lacked that oomph so I bet that ranch would make it alright. Will be returning to try the other burgers, and maybe some ice cream! read more

Tried an Oakie Onion Smash, and like Dylan B. posted, it tasted like a nostalgic throwback to an old school MacDonald's...but that had used much fresher and healthier ingredients. I would have preferred crispier edges, so overall taste was 4/5, service 5/5 with helpful advice and great communication. I sampled their salted caramel ice cream and found it off-tasting, and went with a vanilla flavor with a variety of toased in chunks of textured pretzels, chocolate bits or butterscotch that was enjoyably lighter than expected and also not too cloyingly sweet. I left with a weekend special Toffee Cookie and two cranberry white chocolate cookies that looked good but must wait until I warm them up first at home. read more

I finally got to try them!!!!!! Let me just say this, get the Lemonade Blueberry ice cream with a sugar cone!!!!! It was a hit!!!! That was the best ice cream flavor I had in my life- not sure if they make this flavor their self or what. I did speak to some other customers who stated they come once a week for a pint of this flavor!!! Parking is not the greatest, they have parking in front of their business but there are other local businesses - so the parking spots can be taken up. The inside was very cutesy, the lighting was so perfect, I wondered what kind of lighting mounts they use. I would love to just take a million pics in there. Everyone was super nice, staff was accommodating- since it was my first time. Only thing was, I ordered a smash burger and ice cream.... I would have liked my burger first, and then enjoyed my ice cream. However, I got my ice cream first, and had to let it sit until I got my burger ... a little bothering but it was ok. I let it sit in a cup and it didn't even melt fast so it was totally fine. I destroyed the burger, it was so good I didn't even get a pic. lol Check them out!!! * they even had nice plants inside read more

This used to be another ice cream shop but I forget the name. Lana's not only has ice cream but food as well. The interior looks unchanged for the most part. I got the double size up to 3 flavors in a cup for $8.xx and a chocolate chip cookie. The cookie was aright, nothing special. The ice cream was good and creamy. Banana Oreo was most favorite then salted caramel and lastly fruity pebbles. I didn't taste too much fruity pebbles in it. The service was nice and fast. Will be back when in the area.

We ordered delivery yesterday. I did leave a review on DoorDash but I was unable to leave a review for Lana's. First, the Chicken Sandwich was the best I've had in years. Normally, I do not order because it's usually dry breast meat and of course, my least favorite part of a chicken. The chicken thigh was tender and very tasty. I really enjoyed this sandwich. Thank you for being brave and stepping up to chicken THIGHS!!! You rock just because of that. The Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies are also very good. Loved the Tater Tots!!! Darn they are so very good. read more

Loved going to this place, but I may have to stop after the horrible service I received. Traveled far just to come here to pick up an order I've placed prior. When I arrived, my order wasn't even made. I had to wait about 20 mins for my burger.. then an extra 20 mins for my fries... mind you, there were people coming in after me and leaving before me. Asked the employees if they could at least compensate for my time and cold burger.. NOTHING. Not even a free drink for the long wait. Just disappointed. read more

Wow where has this place been. Was craving a smash burger and turned to good old Yelp for assistance. Since its roughly a 10 minute walk, we decided to take a stroll down the hood to get there. When we arrived, there was 1 person ahead of us who was making their ice cream selection. While we were scanning the menu overhead, Diego greeted us and asked how are we doing? I exchange the greeting and informed him we wanted to order some grub and he motioned to come to the cashier area. Went for the Western, classic, fries and a milkshake. Waited about 10 minutes and then Asher called our name and personally handed to us. Walked back home and the food is amazing. Fresh and flavorful. Service is solid and food is yummy. Shout out to Asher & Diego. read more

Heard this is one of the best smashburgers in town. It's definitely pretty good but a good house sauce would elevate it. They do have burgers with sauce options so there's that. We got our food pretty quickly. No bad interaction with the staff either. This is a popular spot.. a lot of different crowds came in and out while we ate. We like the energy. They could use a little more seating though. Anyway, we would definitely come back again. read more

I recently tried Lana's with a group of friends (my own informal burger crew ). I love a good smash burger, so I was excited to give Lana's a try. I ended up going with the deluxe burger with a side of tater tots. The burger was flavorful, well seasoned, with a good soft bun. The tater tots were excellent with a good salt ratio. My pro tip would be to get a side of chipotle mayo to dip them in! Overall the food was really tasty. This spot also sells cookies and ice cream if that's something you're into. The staff were friendly. In terms of vibe, I would say Lana's gives off a sort of 50's diner vibe. I will say that there's limited seating inside, so this place isn't great for large groups. I'd definitely come back to try their chicken sandwich and hot tots if I'm in the area again! read more
