I work in downtown Oakland and USED to frequent this spot weekly, early on a couple times a week. Solid food: great burger you can actually order & get medium rare, best fries in Uptown, Oyster Mondays, changing creative specials & soups, even a cheese plate for when you're feeling "fu-fu". Solid cocktails: Fairly wide range of spirits, signatures that... More

It took an hour and a half to get a burger, but they did comp my drinks. The burger was good, but by the time I got it I was too old to be able to chew normal food.

Large variety on menu. Food well prepared...I had the roasted turkey sandwich and a martini. The service is outstanding with a friendly staff. Good place any time of the day.

You can always trust to have a yummy burger at Luka's. It's location is great and it's very oakland. Diverse crowed, has sports on if there is a major game going on. They have music in one room sometimes, or you could play pool. All around a good place to meet folks.

Luka's should be on your list if you visit or live in the Bay Areal. Monday night is $1 oyster night, so if you like 'em on the half shell like I do, this alone justifies the trip. The oysters are fine, crisp, salty, cold and of a nice size, and at $1 per, you can chow down. Four of... More

Sometimes the food and service misses the mark. But, the laid back feel and ambiance tends to make up for the lack of attentiveness. I usually can have a salad and a glass of wine and be just fine.

Luka's has a great selection of Belgian and other beers, as well as excellent food. We particularly love the mussels in all the various broths -- their moules frites are far better than the ones we had in Belgium! Their burger plate is also excellent and very well-priced. And we're had killer specials here, such as fresh fish in a... More

My son, his college roommate, and I dined at Luka's on a Saturday evening. The food was very good. We have a french-fry appetizer - their fries are very good - slightly crispy but not greasy. Three different sauces were provided. They were tasty. Two of us ordered the Steak Frites - very good. The meat has a good flavor... More

I attended a concert at the Paramount Theater and one of my co-worker's recommended that I go to Luka's for a bite to eat. It's located just a couple of blocks from the Paramount and when I got there it was crowded but I was able to get a seat at the bar. It's pretty loud in there but the... More

Late night bistro dining at Luka's in Oakland was a treat. The room is long and narrow with the bar on the left as you enter, tables on the right. Menu selection was interesting and inviting. Food was tasty and served at proper temperature. The service was friendly and prompt dispute a healthy crowd. Noise level can be a problem... More
