Lana’s

This a flex spot for sure slide hire drop a smooth 50 they got cookies and ice cream to up in that joint.What i got here straight Fire my boy

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!

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

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.

Great burgers and tots. As an added bonus, great ice cream and cookies. Put them together for a fat ass meal. Too bad they're not open for lunch on Tuesdays, when our staff are working in the office.

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!

Ordered the okie onion smash and added tomatoes and lettuce. Along with fries and tater tots. The fries and tots are really good. The burger was okay in my opinion. Lacked a bit of flavor for me. I ordered to go and maybe it would be different eating there?

Great smashburger. I came here on a Friday around 6 and there was a small but steady stream of people. There's only 2 or 3 high top tables and some stools to sit by the window so keep that in mind if planning to eat here. I was surprised with the low amount of people and small menu the burgers took quite a bit of time to be ready. They were very good though and I ordered the spicy fries and they had a really good spice to them. I ordered the deluxe and wish I had ordered the classic for my first time trying because I over indexed on spice but overall enjoyed it and will try it again.

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:)

First off this place is a serious hidden gem! Let's just say I've been sleeping on it since it's been changed to Lana's! Sadly I disappoint myself for this. So I've come twice now to get the smash burger and fries which is absolutely deliciousness in your mouth! The place gets pretty crowded which I was surprised to see so many others already know how yummy their food is. A lot of people even eat inside despite the small yet quaint dining area. The staff is super friends and helpful! I just love this places kick back chill vibe. I do however always get my food to go but I wouldn't mind staying next time and sitting at the window to watch the world go by! Stop by if you want a juicy delicious burger!
