    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.

    Lana's is now my go to place for DELICIOUS BURGERS & Fries . I've traveled the world and I can confirm that I haven't eaten a better burger and fries. My top favorite is a Fried Chicken Deluxe and The Deluxe and Fries! You must try the fries and you will get it yourself. They have delicious ice cream as well! Very cool nice friendly stuff, clean neat kitchen, great service. cozy environment, great prices ! I'm not typically leaving reviews but this place is worth it

    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.

    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

    Old Town Western Burger
    Julianne L.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Such good ice cream forgot to even take pictures of what we got! Came in and while busy with people there was no line so got our order quick. Tasted a few samples and ending up getting a Single Scoop and 1 Sundae

    Menu is easy to figure out.

    Burgers are . Tons of flavor with perfectly crispy edges, and the ingredients taste fresh. Definitely one of those low-key spots that deserves more attention. The fries were on point too. If you're looking for a legit smash burger in Oakland, Lana's is absolutely worth checking out. I'll definitely be back.

    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.

    Chicken sandwich was good, very juicy and tender. Wanted to sit and enjoy it, but not much seating in the inside. Huge plants are a nice touch but take up much space . Decent selection of ice-cream to enjoy on a nice day. Staff was friendly.

    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.

    Visited this place randomly bc the reviews online are pretty good. We had it to go, the area wasn't the best. But it's such a cute little restaurant! Food is decent here, service is nice staff are helpful. Will visit again if in this area.

I love that you can choose the doneness of the patty. I went with medium, and it came out perfectly cooked. The bun was soft, buttery, and rich without feeling too greasy, and every ingredient seemed intentional and added something distinct to the burger. It is a very large burger, though, so be prepared for it to get a little messy. There is a restroom where you can wash your hands, but it requires a key, so bringing hand sanitizer or wet wipes may be helpful. Overall, the burgers are definitely on the pricier side, but I thought the quality justified it. I'd happily come back again.

What I don't understand is why I'm charged an additional $2.50 for the lettuce wrap when I'm not even getting the bun. If you're taking something away, what's the justification for adding an extra charge? I could understand a modest upcharge, but $2.50 for a few leaves of lettuce is hard to justify. I can buy an entire head of lettuce for about that price. What bothered me even more was that no one mentioned the charge when I placed my order. It wasn't until I picked up my food and saw the receipt that I realized I had been charged extra. Customers deserve to know about additional charges before they order, not after the fact. When I politely asked why there was a $2.50 charge, the employee simply looked at me and said, "I don't know." There was no explanation, no offer to ask someone else, and no attempt to address a perfectly reasonable question. That level of customer service was just as disappointing as the surprise charge. The burger was excellent, but this experience left a bad taste in my mouth. At this point, I don't plan on coming back. Or maybe I'll just bring my own lettuce next time. Better yet, just give me the burger without the bun, and I'll wrap the damn thing myself when I get home.

    A coconut shake has coconut ice cream - it is not vanilla ice cream with coconut flakes…read more The back story: I visited TrueBurger a few weeks ago for the very first time. Since moving to the neighborhood earlier this year, I have walked past TrueBurger quite a few times on my way to/from the 19th Street BART Station, and I was excited to give it a try. I was initially thinking I would get a burger, but my friend had to postpone getting together until the mid-afternoon, so I ate lunch at home and opted for a milkshake when we met a couple hours later. I had seen a special coconut shake on the menu on the TrueBurger website; I'm a big fan of most things coconut, and especially ice cream. I was eager to taste the shake...and my excitement quickly turned to disappointment when I realized it was just a vanilla shake with shredded coconut. Why is TrueBurger trying to pass this off as a coconut shake? It's far less novel, but it's perfectly acceptable to only offer vanilla and chocolate shakes. The mix-ins actually put them one step ahead of much of the competition, but misleading customers is never okay. To add insult to injury, I have tried reaching out to TrueBurger via email, and management is incredibly unresponsive. They could have easily fixed this by offering me a refund or asking me to come back in for a shake on the house. Do better, TrueBurger.

I appreciate that they did not put too much BBQ sauce because that always drenches the buns and makes the eating process very messy. The fries were also great - fresh potatoes? Corn fritters were underwhelming for its price point, would've been fine not getting it. While the food was pretty solid, the extremely long wait and the packed seats are what makes my rating go down. Lovely's is a very popular spot, even for a weekday dinner. The vibes are immaculate. It offers both indoor and outdoor seats, very spacious. However, because of the amount of people, the wait in line was a bit more than 30 minutes. Then adds another wait to get the food. On top of all the waiting, seating options become limited and you will most likely be stuck with the outdoor tables, which can be unfortunate on a very cold evening. If you're hungry, don't come here. But if you don't mind the wait, this is definitely a great spot with great company.

First of all, my order was TO-GO. And let me tell you... when I got home and opened that bag, I was honestly blown away. My food was packaged with so much care, precision, and pride--it was neat, organized, and handled like it actually mattered. That alone told me everything about the level of service in that building. Candalen--YOU DID THAT. The attention to detail on my plate did not go unnoticed. You treated my food like it was being served in-house, and that speaks volumes about your work ethic and pride in what you do. Aaron--listen... that peach lemon drop??? BABY. That was my first time trying one and it was EVERYTHING. Smooth, flavorful, perfectly balanced--you made that drink an experience all by itself. I will be back JUST for that. And let's talk about the vibe--the music, the energy, the atmosphere--it all came together in a way that made the entire visit feel GOOD. Not just food... a whole experience. But what really stands out is this: It has been a LONG time since I've experienced service this genuine, this intentional, and this excellent. Not rushed, not careless--EXCEPTIONAL. Management, if you are reading this--please understand--you have some powerful people on your team. Candalen and Aaron are the kind of employees that elevate a brand. They are the reason people come back. They are the reason I will be telling others. This wasn't just a good experience. This was the kind of experience that turns customers into loyal supporters. I will absolutely be back--and I will be bringing people with me. Until next time, WUHAPN NATION

I come for their brisket and my friend loves ribs so we went ahead and ordered combo plates to share. Mine was the brisket with a side of collard greens, she had the pork ribs, a hotlink with a side of Mac-n-cheese, & cornbread. For drinks we had lemonade and an Arnold Palmer. I'm not sure what has happened over the last few months but the quality of the food, the service and the expectation to pay and tip up front were very disappointing. The greens, Mac cheese, brisket and ribs were cold. The hotlink wasn't BBQ'ed it was pan fried. Everything tasted like warmed up leftovers and we will not return. For 2 of us to eat it came to $100 and we were not satisfied. The dining room is an attractive space, it was completely empty. The staff was unclear about what we ordered, had to be told to bring our drinks, bartender is also working as server and apologized for his uncertainty. I suggest this restaurant hire and train more staff if they intend to keep their doors open.
