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!

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!

What a hidden gem. Love the burgers, love the chicken sandwiches. Amazing cookies, milkshakes, and ice cream, too??? Fantastic.

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.

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.

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!

Easily some of the best burgers in the Bay Area. Their smash burgers, especially the Okie Smash are the creme of the crop with the thinnest patties and the laciest crispy edges.

Would HIGHLY recommend going here!! Oh also their icecream is great too

Had to run over to Oakland for some errands, was hungry for a burger and found this spot. It was excellent. One of the best smash burgers I've had in the east bay for sure. Friendly staff, delicious looking baked goods and ice cream (didn't get), clean and tidy, and just a nice vibe. Will be back.

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!!!
