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

Lana's Cookie is an absolute must-try! Every single flavor is amazing so soft, fresh, and always incredibly tasty. You can truly tell the care and love that goes into every cookie. No matter which flavor you choose, you can't go wrong. It's consistently delicious and completely addictive in the best way. If you haven't checked out Lana's Cookie yet, make sure you do you'll definitely be coming back for more! read more

Only been here for their ice cream thus far but it already exceeded expectations! I love that there's a dessert spot in Oakland open beyond 7pm... and it's a no fuss, solid ice cream shop. I ordered a single scoop with two flavors: black sesame and Viet coffee. I like black sesame but I don't usually order black sesame flavored items. That being said, I'm glad I did due to a recommendation from a friend. Lana's black sesame ice cream was CHOCK FULL of black sesame. I.e. Stain your mouth black with a beautiful, nutty flavo... Both ice creams were super creamy (the way I prefer my ice CREAM) and not too sweet. Bonus: they really packed on the ice cream (a single scoop was definitely enough to satisfy two people). The people servicing the restaurant around 8pm on a Tuesday were also very attentive and quick. Super excited to go back for another round of dessert when the sweet tooth hits, and to try their savory options! read more

Lana's is without a doubt my new go-to burger spot in Oakland. If you're looking for a burger that's a serious upgrade from typical fast food without breaking the bank, this is the place. It's a little more than a value meal, but every single cent is worth it. My absolute favorite is the Old Town Western Smash Burger. The patty is perfectly cooked, and the flavors are just incredible. I also highly recommend pairing your burger with either the hot fries or the hot tots--both are fantastic and add that perfect amount of spice and crunch. The service is always friendly, and the food comes out hot and fresh. Honestly, if you live in or are visiting Oakland and love a good burger, you have to try Lana's. You won't be disappointed. read more

Had their western burger and hot fries, spectacular!!! Service is always friendly, ambiance is great (music and the modern diner style). I tried a sample of their toasted black sesame ice cream and it was unreal. read more

The burger was too salty, consisting of lackluster toppings. Fries were soggy and oversalted as well. Drink was missing completely. The cookies were bland. Unforgiveable read more

Burgers are tasty I think I could of used a bit more protein and the area is coming back to life ther service was efficient and polite , tried the ice cream there cannot recommend flavors everyone has a different taste but a must try do not skip. read more

Tasty ice cream with more Asian-inspired flavor variety. Staff was friendly to sample different flavors. Decided to get a cup with two scoops Jasmine Milk Tea - floral and amazing flavor here (favorite) Thai Tea - super flavorful and great Black Sesame - nutty and enjoyed Salted Caramel - very light and not much flavor The texture of the ice cream is soft and airy, and not on the creamy/thick side so I feel it melts a bit faster than other varieties I prefer. Location has some interior barstool or diner vibe seating, and two small sidewalk patio tables. Apparently serves burgers and food as well read more

Came to Lana's for the smash burgers and ice cream. Left fully satisfied! Great crust on the burgers and high quality ingredients. Lots of ice cream flavors. Really enjoyed the Banana Oreo and Zaza. Servers were really helpful and patient as we tried a few flavors out. They were pretty fast getting through orders too. Would definitely come again for the smash burger fix! read more

The few times I had heard about Lana's, it was because people were raving about their cookies or their ice cream. Little did I know that they were also secretly the home to one of the best smash burgers in Oakland. On a whim, I decided to give their Classic burger a try and ordered it via DoorDash, along with some fries. The order arrived still hot and the fries were still crispy, but pretty average for fries. The burger, on the other hand ... The Classic is quite simple - smashed patties, American cheese, ketchup, mustard, pickles, and onions - all the toppings I like on a basic burger. The patties had a nice crusty edge to them, a sign of a good smash burger in my book. My eyes were impressed, and soon so were my taste buds, as all the ingredients came together in a crispy but also juicy and meaty combination. It was so good, I just kept chowing down! Some reviewers on here have complained that the burgers are a little on the small side, but I guess that depends on your appetite. All I know is I can't wait to get my hands on another one of these really soon. I know I should probably give Lana's cookies and ice cream a shot, too, but I think I'll probably start off with one of their amazing smash burgers. read more

I stopped by on a Monday evening for dinner with some friends and Lana's was pretty empty when we arrived at 6:15 p.m. Despite being so empty, our orders too quite a while to prepare, about twenty minutes or so. I tried their fried chicken sandwich - not the deluxe version which includes tomatoes and shredded lettuce for close to $2 more. The chicken was juicy but not that crispy. I didn't like how the sandwich was drowning in mayo either. The balance was just off. My wife got the Oklahoma style smash burger which is supposed to have an over abundance of onions integrated into the patty but it felt like the same amount of onions you would be getting at In-N-Out, which is not that much. The redeeming quality about Lana is that the hot fries are fried really well - better than fresh McDonald's fries, and they have delicious ice cream flavors, even some Asian inspired ones like ube and black sesame. The Bay Area has plenty of spots offering smash burgers and fried chicken sandwiches but unfortunately, Lana doesn't do either particularly well. I unlikely will stop by again for either of those items. read more

My Sunday routine is usually to get a burger from Smish Smash and a beer at Great Notion brewery in Berkeley. Today I decided to mix it up as I was craving ice cream. Lana's is located in downtown Oakland close to Rattos and Square Pie Guys. The girl working the counter was extremely friendly while taking our order and it didn't take long before the food to come out. If you've had Smish Smash you'll be very familiar with this style of burger as word on the street is that Vic from Smish Smash taught these people how to do their burgers. Everything was well seasoned and flavorful and the bacon on the western burger was of good quality. After my meal I opted for a lilikoi sorbet ice cream cone and it was smooth and refreshing with just the right amount of acidity and sweetness. Did I mention that they also have fresh baked cookies? I'm going to make sure to try them the next time I visit. Keep up the good work! 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

I was in the mood for a Smashed Burger and found Lana's with the help of Yelp. I had the Deluxe with two patties, American cheese, lettuce tomato pickles onions and sub the sauce for ketchup and mustard. The patties were crispy and tasty. The customer service was great and the restaurant looked really clean. There's meter parking in the front. I'll definitely be back:) read more

Lana's is cute retro diner ambiance, nice menu options. Tots, burgers, ice cream, floats of my.... I ordered two western burgers and a prepackaged day old cookies. My daughters enjoyed the burgers, I had a bite, I will say it had a nice beefy flavor, not a full "smash burger " it was a little chewy but good non the less. It had an onion ring, crispy bacon, double patty with cheese, and bbq sauce. Now the cookies, I dnt know if it's because they were a day old, it was a variety of different flavors, but honestly they had no real flavor, like bland cookie with added ingredients. I will give it another try on though just because it has potential. read more

Their ice cream is just hands-down the best around. New school flavors with old school quality and service. Banana Oreo is a must try!

My favorite ice cream/ cookie fix! The BEST ice cream sandwiches! Natural ingredients. The real deal! read more

The smash- burgers and tallow-fries are delicious. Cookies, meh, too thick and cake-like, not much flavor. Ambience - dismal. I get food to go. I've never tried the ice cream. read more

Lana's is good. I'm a big fan of their sides, particularly the tater tots and the fries. The tots are crispy, delicious perfection. I had the chicken sandwich, it was tender and crunchy. My absolute favorite item at Lana's, hands-down are the cookies. These are my favorite cookies. PERIOD. These cookies are topnotch and it's hard to find places where you can find fresh-baked cookies anymore. They're chewy in the middle, crunchy on the outside. Not overly sweet, just simply divine. read more

My first time here. It was a last minute decision and I'm glad I came. My burger was so good. It was prepared well and tasted great. It wasn't done too fast, but it didn't take long either. The guts working were great; very friendly and efficient. If I'm in Oakland again I'll make sure to go again. I highly recommend this place. read more

a go-to delivery spot for me! the okie onion smash and ice creams are next-level yummy. the fries don't deliver well, unfortunately.

All of the items from Lana's are delicious! From the smashburgers to ice cream, this is the perfect place to satiate your American diner food craving. Service is quickly completed at a kiosk, and all food is served "to-go style" (even if you are eating indoors). Staff is all super friendly, and the food comes out extremely quickly. The Deluxe is a no-nonsense burger with two crispy smashburger patties, crisp pickles, and a well-toasted but soft bun. The tater tots were also perfectly fried, but were a little on the saltier side for me. Also, for those who are gluten free, the "lettuce" wrap is basically shredded lettuce paired with the burger items, so just make sure you're ready to consume the burger with a fork and knife instead of hands. The final shout-out goes to the ice cream. The ice cream flight is a really good deal, but I would definitely bring a few friends to share because the scoops are HEFTY. I personally love the Black Sesame ice cream (super rich black sesame flavor), but all the other ones I tried were also delicious. They do change flavors, so I am excited to return when they rotate some of the menu items! I will also have to get one of their famous cookies to-go as well... read more

The deluxe! Hands down my favorite burger. Every time I eat one I never want it to end lol. The tots are also amazing as well as the fries, akin to McDonalds quality. The ranch is fire. The ice scream is screamin. I love you Lana And on top of all of this, the food still tastes amazing when ordering delivery!! Huge feat. 10 stars read more

Sometimes smash burgers lean heavily into the meat as a primary flavor driver. I was actually impressed by how tasty the house sauce was and the fact that the patties were actually seasoned. Fries were decent but I instantly regretted not getting the tots; next time. The cookies and cream cookie was also fantastic. Glad to see this place still kicking; hopefully it's thriving! read more

My GF and I went there today. We both got the chicken sammiches and they were AMAZING! Fries were great even though they got cold bu the time we got home (takes out). My GF got the salted caramel ice cream and she said it was super tasty (I was still too full for desert). The man and woman behind the counter were both very, very nice! Will definitely go back!!! read more

The ice cream selection here is fun and delicious. You unfortunately can only try two flavors so plan accordingly and plan to come back if you want to try more. The jasmine green tea is definitely up there in flavor. The ice cream has the rich tea notes and maintains the creamy flavor and texture. The fruity pebbles is more light on the fruity pebbles side and a great pick if you don't like the sweetness overload. Ice cream sandwiches can be a hit or miss. They are delicious but it feels like the ice cream to cookie ratio could be better. Or the ice cream melts too fast and into the cookie so it can be misleadingly disappearing. read more

Great food and service. The staff very friendly and helpful. The banana oreo ice cream is super goooooood.

Been here a handful of times! Mainly for ice cream and it hits every single time. So do the cookies! I aways opt in for the cone (duh). Vietnam coffee is one of my favorite flavors and the Ube you cannot skip out on. Will def try the food next and update my review! Staff is always nice and counters look clean despite how messy ice cream can be! read more

Delicious ice cream and burgers. I ordered a special limited time smash burger for myself and a banana split to share with friends. I enjoyed the smash burger and found it tasty, though I think the "speciality" Filipino-inspired burger I ordered was not worth a 50% higher price. I wish the patties had been a bit crispier as well, considering the style of the burger. Otherwise, the ingredients were quality and the preparation was done well. The banana split was fantastic with a fresh banana and not-too-sweet but very creamy ice cream with unique flavors. I particularly enjoyed the banana oreo and malted chocolate flavors. The employee behind the counter was extremely friendly and helped us determine what food and ice cream choices we'd enjoy. The interior of the restaurant was also clean and bright, though the seating was not the most comfortable. read more

I visited Lana's on a Sunday afternoon and was surprised by their menu! I loved the inside theme and was looking forward to trying banana oreo, but they ran out by the time I arrived. I'll have to come back another time! I had the chance to sample other flavors like calamansi sorbet and decided to go with that. Strawberry was good too! They provide water for free in small cups. Seats are also provided in the shop. Parking is on the street and lightly competitive. read more

No gluten free bun or lettuce wrap but burger was still delicious. Friendly service and quality food. I'll be back.

Here's a rundown of what we thought of the flavors: Macupuno: I love coconut but this tasted like a generic syrup mix, it just wasn't good. Banana oreo: very weird cheap tasting banana, like tge artificial banana taffy that people eat as kids mixed in with real oreo Thai Tea: Decent but definitely no Mitchell's or Polly Ann's quality Vietnamese Coffee: The best one o tried so I bought this. Tasted like a creamy Vietnamese coffee. Cookie Dough: Also dissapointed in their cookie dough. For some reason it just tasted like sugar with small bits of chocolate. My coworker bought a cookie and it just wasn't good. I would skip this place next time. read more

Amazing burgers and shakes, the patties are juicy and full of cheese, with a healthy amount of grease. Perfect comfort food!

We gave this ice cream place a try because we were already in the neighborhood. The zany flavors were what made us gave it a try - I did a taste test of the Thai iced tea which was unusual and tasted exactly as a Thai iced tea would. I guess my issue is that I ordered two flavors I hadn't previously tasted. The rocky road which had a malted chocolate flavor more so than actual chocolate; the mini marshmallows in it looked cute but were not super flavorful. Similarly the Vietnamese coffee only faintly tasted of coffee, maybe because Vietnamese coffee is made with condensed milk. My friend ordered the fruity pebbles ice cream (after having tasted it) but could only get through a few spoonfuls because it was so sugary. I also tried it and it was clear the ice cream had cereal ground up into it; if sugar overload is your thing then by all means go ahead. We were treated well by the staff and the place was very clean, although you could smell the cleaning supplies. Perhaps we just had an off day should have ordered different flavors. We ended up going to a different ice cream shop after eating here because it didn't satisfy our itch. read more

Picked up my friend from the train station and asked what was the first thing they wanted to eat and she said a burger and fries. So I looked up on yelp for a local burger and fries shop that I've never been to an Lana's popped up. What drew me in and enticed me was the ice cream selection and we didn't even end up ordering any ice cream, but will come back for that. We both got the classic double smash burger and they ran out of Fraser days. We got tater tots but give it the garlic fried treatment which came with a side of ranch and whatever you do if you're coming here for food you have to get the nacho cheese on the side cause it really just adds so much to the Already perfectly crispy potatoes, but also some extra cheese for your burger. Also, it has a little kick a spice in it. As for the burger, it was to smash patties crisp on the edges and just the right ratio of meat to soft potato bun. Anyways, the burger was cooked to perfection. Honestly, I would give it that In-N-Out 4 x 4 treatment and get two burgers next time or for Patty just to try, they serve, classic Boylan sodas that really help wash down the burger or you just scarfed down. I'm already waiting for the next time I go here because the burger was that good. read more
