I cannot thank you enough for posting this video., My mom Estelle was the founder of Mills Hoagie. She died 29 years ago from cancer. It's amazing how almost everything looks the same. I was age 16 years old cooking the Philly Cheesesteaks on that exact grill. I'm in my 50's now. We were a black family from South Philly that wanted to bring the Philly experience to the Oakland. I appreciate you! 🙏🏾😍
Haha, dude, I’m a white boy skater that used to save his lunch money to buy a sandwich on the weekend. My good friend “Dirt” rented out the room upstairs, probably from your Mom.
Ah nice! My mom's silent partner owned the actual building with the apartments, so she wouldn't have been the landlord. Nice to hear from you though. 👍🏾😍@@vagabondroller
Omg big thank you to you and your mother for bringing Mills Hoagie to Oakland! We love this place! We use to live in Hayward and was here @ least once a week. But now we live in the Valley and I still work in the East Bay so I still pop up there when I can. A couple of times I’ve ordered 2, traveled to the Valley(2hr drive) and the Hoagies still had its taste, consistency etc! They travel well! 🔥
@@Sega_is_all_i_cd I truly appreciate your kind words and appreciation for my mother. That honestly means a great deal. 😍
back in the 80s there was a hoagie shop called Estelles. It was in East Oakland by the one mall. Eastmont mall??? Was that your mom???
Commercials used to be on Soul Beat.
JL giving this a 6 out of 10 max. Trying to keep it polite for his guest homie.
Hard to compare to Philly though
He shoulda took him to Phila burger in Richmond. Bayareafoodz is cringe and doesn’t hit the dope spots up.
😂
@@James-jb2mkPhilly joints are super overrated bruv
@@loosie.goosie compared to what? New York maybe, where you will pay twice the price.
Glad you're not lying and actually being honest on the review. Not everybody is brave enough to do a review at the establishment and give a mediocre review with the owner/worker nearby. Kudos
Shout out Peaks 😂😂
He actually is lying 😂. He didn’t wanna admit that Cali has a good cheesesteak 🤡. He can take his ass back to Philly
@@charliem4867 no he from Philly so they probably taste better
@@Jay-bt3vc If you have the same exact ingredients and cooking method, it will taste exactly the same. I don’t expect uneducated people to understand basic cooking though 😂
He didn't like that sandwich, but he was polite about it.
Hey Bruh, thanks for your honest feedback. Being an Oakland native but living in the East, I see your point. I am a fan of John's Roast Pork, Delassandro's and Max's. Mills is hella good though for a Non-Philly spot!
Roast Pork when cooked right is soooo good. I had some a couple of days ago with Macaroni and Cheese, Collard Greens and a slice of Cornbread.
I worked in Oakland during the plandemic. I loved it so much. The people, the food, the vibe. Everything was completely wonderful. At the time I wanted to move there permanently. People are my thing and they were there in abundance. It was an amazing time in my life. 🌺🌺🌺
Thanks for stopping by Bong JL! It’s the “I came to East Oakland is all I can say” for me lol. I grew up eating Mills Hoagie until about 10 years when I stop eating red meat because of health, but will definitely risk it for Philly Cheesesteak in South Philly tho 💜💜💜
As an Oakland born and Bay Area raised real one, you don't even know how many salutes I have to give you for going to this East Oakland staple. You not from the Town if you dont know Mills hoagies. This the hood spot, it aint all we got.
He doesn't seem to believe it himself.
He keeps saying that he keeps tasting first day flavors. No sir!
No this isn’t all we got. Born and raised in Oakland. Never liked Mills. I’m glad he was honest.
No place other than Philly makes a Cheesesteak and Hoagie like Philly. It's our Creation from South Philly.
Living in Philly you will think a steak or hoagie is simple to make until you go out of town
living in Baltimore and travelling to Philly for a steak, u r correct
@@mcfirebugfrom Baltimore and Baltimore cheesesteaks are still one of my favorites lol
FACTS. I don't understand it bro. I'm down south it's like they don't even try. But what's worse is you have these spots that claim to be from Philly with authentic cheesesteaks fooling the locals that are mediocre at best with jacked up prices
Cheesesteaks/hoagies all taste the same, they not that good in Philly and they not that good anywhere else. The fact that y'all are so proud of cheesesteaks in Philly when they are just a boring ass sandwich is ridiculous lol
Thank you for showing this place. It’s been a staple in The Town forever. ❤❤❤
I’m originally from Philly, lived in Arizona I tried several pizzerias and restaurants that claim to make Philly cheesesteaks, each one “Nope next!” I’m a cheesesteak snob, I know it and proud of it!😂
I’m trying to get to Philly specifically to do a cheesesteak tasting tour. The places I’ve gathered from my research that are official and worth the trip are D’alessandro’s, Ishkabibble’s, Jim’s, Joe’s and Steve’s. Any place you enjoy In particular or some place that should be on the list that’s missing?
@@voodoochile4147mama’s steaks off City Line
I am originally from Arkansas but lived near Philly for 15 years, now back in Arkansas and get pissed about sub par steaks and hoagie's 😂
@@chaybyrd77 thanks
@@James-jb2mk oddly enough my parents were born and raised in Little Rock/North Little Rock and moved to Philly in the 60s
I live in Jerz but been going to Philly my whole life because a lot of my Family is there since migration from the South back in the day. We NEVER leave Philly without one… or two. Philly Cheesesteaks BELONG to Philly!!! They ARE The BEST Cheesesteaks & Hoagies… Philly got that!!!💯💯💯
Jeez do Philliys better than philly
I love his honesty
I know they use to have the best. That was in the 90’s. #keepitinmotion👑😎
Chicken did look way better.
Oh nooooooo!! I won't EVA know how good this joint is! Not if I gotta go through Deep East O to get it!!! Not happening!!😂🤣🏳️🆘💯
Be smooth definitely Bay Area slang 😂😂
Definitely !!!😂
It used $5.50 for the whole meal (hoagie, fries,& soda)back in the day 1:44 #600 2:16 don't forget the cherry peppers (steak)
Where that at in Oakland
JL, my old stomping grounds! I lived right up the hill in Maxwell Park and attended Mills College! It’s been 20 years but I remember!
I used to live there East Oakland left in 1981 I am not familiar with this store, if I go back I will surely stop there.
I lived in Maxwell Park area as well I went to Sherman Elementary. The place they just tried we would walk up there every weekend lol.. Mills College is right across the street, brings back memories!!
@@destiny2092 I also went to Elizabeth Sherman Elementary School. Memories.
@@LisaLiLi4U WOW! Definitely memories!
SMART MAN MAKE SURE YOU BOTH TELL THE TRUTH AND ALSO CONGRATS ON THE NEW BORN
WoW, I grew up right there. Seminary and McArthur blvd. We used to go to that Hoagie Shop until the shootings started. 😂We always loved the hoagie burger. But man, this brought back memories.
Yes that spot hot but I used to love it
Noo I'm cool on the chicken 😂 😂 thats a 1st
Heeeeeey my man, you made it to Mills hoagie spot East Oakland. This is the SPOT!
If it’s anybody I appreciate giving the brutal honesty it’s JL. I hold him in high regards
JL is always putting out great content...
Dat boy @BayAreaFoodz!!! Bay Area Living Legend
The hood spots are usually where the 🔥 is...
Jersey Joe’s Cheesesteak across the Bay in San Carlos has the best Cheesesteaks/Hoagies. No competition
FORCE MD'S TEARS FALLING IN THE LIFE OF RAIN
JL was being nice 😂 "a notch below papi" is a crazy compliment
Being from Philly and living in east Oakland most of my life Mills used to be sooo much better.
I'm surprised JL went out there. East Oakland is hella dangerous. Gotta keep six when you're out there and watch your back
Wow you went to Mills hoggies my favorite place since I was a kid JL in the hood eating food I grew up on my uncle lived door on the street behind it for years wow ❤❤❤ I think u should have got the chicken I ordered the steak but like he said that’s all we got so we love it
Loving his honesty. I don’t think he’s feeling it and that’s ok. Dope content overall❤️
It fills the gap, it ain't your go to meal
Being from Oakland that's the hoagie spot fa sho
I love the honesty. most food critics will say ooh yummy knowing dam well I don't taste good.. so thanks for being 💯
Bruh living dangerous for the food reviews 🤣
Tiki Punch tho 🔥
Shout out East Oakland
I grew up over there….granny lived right around the corner
love oakland I prefer eating out in oakland over SF to be honest.
Yuck, San Fran has wayyy better food and I'm not even from either place (but I have lived in both) before!
You came to California I’m so happy to see this, I love your videos.
this shows the indelible impression the italian american immigrant diet thats on the east coast. the fresh baked breads, meats and cheeses. Its a long shot to get that kind of flavor on the west coast. but the asian american immigrants and mexican americans diet got a lock on the market in the west coast.
Hey JL. Thanks for the great reviews. East Oakland.. You are getting around.. Enjoy!! ❤️🐞
A hoagie is definitely a east coast staple.
Yall should slide House Wife's Alley.
Straight up history and home made links a Sausages. On point
There are a number of couple of spots in Oakland that uses Amoroso rolls. If JL had gone to them he would I’m sure recognize the rolls.
Gotta love the homage when it’s called a Philly cheesesteak but we know where the best steaks are from
JL you a real one
they been slapping for years chicken with the mushrooms
My Uncle named his daughter Shasta after the soda. This is my actual first time seeing a can of Shasta soda
That's dollar tree soda...but I ain't neva seen that flava🤨
Where u from?
@@beach_boy1141 Miami
JL I always like watching your videos Because you don't talk with your mouth full of food like some of the other foodies do... thank you
I would of been in that restaurant shouting and screaming over that sub lol Ngl it looks hella good bro
JL the 🐐
Ok I see you at the spot!! Good joint! ✔️💯💪🏾. East Oakland California...
When I live in Oakland that was the best hoagie I ever had.
Wow , they got the Ms Pac-Man in the back🔥🔥
That Shasta fruit punch be hittin' like no other......one of my favorites !!!
The bread he was talking about is Amoroso rolls imported from Philly. The best Cheesesteak rolls. I know JL knows.
The chicken hoagie labeled as a "Himsell Washington" ! 😅 Rip Mac Dre from the Bay. Big ups to JL for being our human pin cushion & trying it out 4 us.
Blessings to you and your family
My dog! I’m a professional TH-cam watcher, and I needed this. I have Jamaican on the way…
My sister just came from Sacramento to get her a hoagie from Oakland Mills hoagie. One of the staples in our city that’s still standing. It’s good but nowhere close to a Philly Cheesesteak I’m sure. We are in Cali, so we don’t really know the difference. Made me want one though 👍
East Oakland .. Love my City ESO
The chicken looked way bettter. 👍😋🐔
I been there many times but it’s been years since I been there. Right there on Seminary. Welcome to Oakland JL
Right On JL in the BAY
My city 🖤 I was waiting for this💯
the doesn't BREAD look sturdy enough for me ..but it still maybe a good sammich💯
Agree. It looks like a chopped cheese/cheese steak. It’s its own thing. Reminds me of Pittsburgh cheesesteaks.
That’s exactly what it’s like. More like a chopped cheese
JL In Deep East Oakland respects
what crawling on it at night . FLAVORS
Thanks for the video.
Safe Journey! CHOLULA!!!
JLs standard is high. Philly boy. You could tell this sandwich wasnt up his alley. I dont like any sandwich drowned in cheese. I agree.😂❤❤❤
I remember the philly from Portland. I knew he wasn't going to like it😂
Hands down the best hoagie I've had yrs ago 😊
Oh snap, you made it to Mills!
Been the bomb since high school
ayyy my nigga in DEEP EAST okland and the top of sem MILLs hoagies.....this is dope cuz i always wanted to know what a authentic philly native thought of our cheesesteaks...this our hood classic...lemme watch and see what u think lol
We spoiled with the good steaks on the East Coast
You should've tried Little Luccas in South San Francisco or Teani's 1 block down😊
Hoagy Steak in San Leandro is the best steak sandwich in the bay. And this is coming from someone who grew up on Mills
Them Oakland accents is STRONG 😭
We got accents? lol
Well he was honest... but the motel up top messed me all the way up😄
Hell yeah JL that hoagie weak .You need to be at Lulu’s Hoagies in Stockton Ca.
There is one place about, 30 miles from Oakland, Jersey Joe's in Cupertino. Fantastic. The best spot outside of Philly/South Jersey I have ever had.
Can’t believe you went to a hometown staple!! I haven’t been to Mills Hoagie in years but growin up, it was fa sho bussin!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Man! In the Yay, and you didnt get a Torta! You could have also made a stop at Bake Sale Betty
TOWNBIZ ALL DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gotta respect the honesty! My wife n I love this place. And we really don’t have anything good/great to compare it to! May be if we went to Philly and had a Philly Cheese we can size it up against that. There is this place near where we live in Modesto called Fast Eddy’s, which falls completely short Mills.
Legendary 🔥
We got IB's in Berkeley and they pretty good
Need a new foodie guide lol. He makin the bay look bad 😂
JL enjoying the East Bay food........ it's as good as they music !!!❤👍🏾
He wasn't enjoying it on this series, the food and "music" there is 🤢

Mos def top round 😂
lol I grew up down the street from that place.
Hahahaha God Bless ya Playboi 🙏🏾 The Bays Tuned In 🏆💯
That sub reminds me of a jersey steak n take. Looked really good though with all the melted cheese, id try it lol
