Lana's

Come buy this fast while they're still not mainstream. Cleanest, quietest little gem. I apologize for the sloppy cross section, I had to chug half of it down in a bite (I had no choice). The okie and the classic are out of this world! (maybe the rest too, didn't try yet). Their fries are fried in tallow!!! They have amazing real ice cream for dessert too! I went to my church today, it was closed, so I came here. God, bless your ways and thank You for guiding me to the light!

II bought a pint of half zaza and half raspberry cheesecake ice cream for 12 dollars. A young girl cashier packs the pint full by hand. Once I got home, it was so delicious that I ate almost all of it. 5 stars! Perfect! No notes!

Lana’s is a great spot in Oakland with a really welcoming vibe. The ambience strikes a nice balance between cozy and stylish, making it perfect for both a relaxed dinner or a casual night out. The food is solid and thoughtfully prepared, with flavors that feel fresh and well-executed. You can tell care goes into the dishes, and everything we tried was enjoyable and satisfying. What really stands out is the staff and ownership. The team is friendly, attentive, and genuinely wants you to have a good experience. The owner is hands-on, warm, and clearly passionate about the restaurant, which adds a personal touch you don’t always get. Overall, Lana’s delivers great energy, good food, and excellent hospitality. Definitely a place I’d recommend and happily return to.

Pros: got the OG burger without ketchup or mustard, added bacon and lettuce - best smash burger I’ve ever had. Thin and crispy, full of flavor. Got hot fries (with Cajun seasoning) - amazing and delicious! Got a single scoop of Thai tea ice cream and it was so bold and creamy. Atmosphere was nostalgic of classic diner and clean. Service was friendly and fast. No notes.

AWESOME. The smash burger with tots cooked in Beef Talo were on Point. The homemade icecream was really good too. The girl behind the counter was so sweat with a 90s swag offering up samples as if she knew people would get hooked! I will def be back the next time im in town!

I’m not the biggest fan of Smashburgers (Give me a fat juicy patty any day), but these are pretty good. The real reason to go here is for the amazing ice cream. If you’ve heard about their banana oreo flavor, it is very much worth the hype. Overall, a local business worth supporting.

I honestly wish I hadn't been so hungry that I forgot to take photos. We had the Okie burger with fries and afterwards had salted caramel/coffee ice cream in a waffle cone - all delish! The staff was friendly, fun and accommodating. Made my birthday a delicious experience. Thank you. We'll be back!
