My guilty pleasure on lazy weekends, sometimes I shop in the area and get my Saturday coffee nearby, so I love to stop here every now and again. The food is fresh and the chicken always tastes like lots of care has went into the preparation, they make sure it maintains its taste and freshness, it never tastes or smells like beef which can be commonplace at a hot sandwich shop. The shop itself is very clean and super hot in the summer time, it's also pretty small so it's a great place to pickup takeout from. The Portions are huge and always made to order (piping hot). I never wait more than 10-15 mins and calling ahead never hurts. read more

Hoagy Steak is located a few blocks away from the hustle and bustle of downtown San Leandro. It's next to Scends (soul food spot) and there's a pet store across the street. Metered street parking around the area. Tiny shop w 2 tables. So I got the Deluxe Cheesesteak (mushrooms, steak, bell peppers) and the meat was pretty dry and bland. Fries could have been crispier. Don't hate it or love it. read more

Food was alright, Service was garbage. I would probably order to go next time, because I did like the food, but didn't appreciate how rude the lady at the register was. When my fiancée & I walked in, we weren't greeted at all! It looked like a husband & wife. Could be brother & sister, not sure. But the man was cooking food already, must've been for a phone order. The lady was doing nothing. So we sat at a table that had menus on it. Sat there for 5 minutes and looked through the menu, and still nobody acknowledged us. So I just got up and walked to the register and the lady said what she could get us. I then whispered "better service" and gave her my order. Paid, waited. Food took about 10 minutes, they hooked it up with a lot of steak & fries! Bread was a little hard and fries weren't salted enough. Other than that, not bad! We'll definitely be back, but to order over the phone & take to go! read more

I arrived at 7:40pm. They close at 8pm. Open sign on. Customer at the register paying. Once he's done, I step to the counter and the lady begins to take my order. As I begin to tell her what I want, the man comes from the back area looks at me and starts speaking to the lady in their common language. Although I can't understand what they are saying, bodily language indicates that they are clearly disagreeing. After about a minute of this, the lady turns to me and says "he said we're closed." I didn't say a word, I turned around and walked away. I could see 5 or 10 minutes even before closing refusing me service, but I'm there 20 minutes before you close and it's a carry out order. I felt it was ridiculous. It sucks cause all it takes is one bad experience to make me not patronize a establishment anymore. I'm over it. read more

Anytime I am working in the area, Hoagy is the place for me for lunch time! The owners are very friendly, very nice and always take care of their customers. Everything I have ordered from hamburger, cheesesteak to teriyaki plates, have been very good. The best thing about most of the items that you order off of their menu comes with chips (fries)!! Love them!!! My English bulldog and I always have the chips!!! They give you a very good portion, They are always cooked perfectly, hot, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Everything has been very tasty, hot, fresh and filling. Love this place. The shop is a little small, I always take mine to go and either eat on the back of my truck or at the little corner seating area across the street.

Eh. I had high hopes for this location. But I should have known the second that I arrived and smelled nothing. No smell of seasoned fries, grilled meats.. nothing. And when you walk inside, you can see they crowd the uncooked, unseasoned chicken onto their grill. All of those poor chicken thighs huddled up together as if they were trying to stay warm... only to leave the grill charred and dry. The chicken thighs are chaffing chile. The hoagy is... too something. I can't put my finger on it. The ingredients/toppings are not married. They are not even friends with benefits. The tomato is not flavorful. The extra garlic is invisible. The cheese ain't cheesing. And I ordered EXTRA cheese. It is just a hard no. Such a hard no that I threw the other half of my sandwich away. Yes... you read that right... into the trash, it went, just like my hopes of finding a decent hoagy... in the trash. The two stars are for the decent curly fries. Very much like the Jack in the Box curly fries, but it is ok. It is decent. read more

I've been working in San Leandro for a few years now and I was not a fan of "Philly Cheesesteak" sandwiches because I've always found it a little soggy after a few minutes. A buddy of mine who lives a few blocks away brought me here at Hoagy Steak and it was an eye opener! Their sandwiches here are HUGE! We shared an order of their Cheese Steak and I enjoyed it alot! The bread was extra toasted and the way they cooked the meat with a charred/crusted exterior made a huge difference. They had applied the cheese onto the meat so it didn't sit on the bread and the flavors were very pronounced. A couple drawbacks would be too much salt and slightly on the oily side; but the FLAVORS.. OOH! They do have a lot of variety here and not just the typical "Philly" - so I think I'll be coming back here and trying it with my leading lady and try to think outside the bun! read more

I was not too impressed. I will say that this facility and the food associated with the facility did serve it's purpose. I entered, I ordered, and I ate. That about sums it up. I was not a fan of the area. It was hard to find parking on the street. The facility was small, although there were people sitting and eating. Just very....lack luster. The food was ok. I was not blown away. If anything, it was almost like eating from a salt lick. A little too much salt. I love cheesesteaks...and while I can't find any good cheesesteaks in the Oakland/San Leandro area, I would not return here. Hope others have a better experience than I did. read more

This place isn't it. Two stars for a clean shop and order made on time. I ordered the monster deluxe cheesesteak with extra American cheese that was barely enough, proportionately. Meat was over-salted and tough. The curly fries were ALL crunch. They nearly tasted like potato chips. Blah. I'm surprised by the high reviews. When I called to place my order a woman answered, "YEAAAH?" Lol. K. Weird. I much prefer one of the other numerous cheesesteak shops in the area. Bummed because I'm all about supporting Asian business. My rating is primarily based on the lack of quality and taste. read more

From the Business

Specialties

The cornerstone of our business is cheese steaks: thin-sliced steak, grilled to perfection with your choice of edible accessories, all topped with melting cheese, atop of a freshly toasted bun. Perfectly crisp, golden fries are always included with every sandwich. But some customers argue that their cheese chicken sandwiches are even better, made with your choice of thigh or breast meat, marinated and flame-broiled to order before it hits the flat-top. Still not convinved? Stop by and try one of San Leandro's best burgers (beef or turkey), sweet and savory teriyaki bowls, or a healthy vegetarian sandwich (aka, "cheese steak--hold the cheese, hold the steak").

History

Established in 1995.

Specializing in award-winning comfort foods at reward-winning comfort prices, the Ims have earned a loyal following of cheese steak aficionados from all over the East Bay; and their well rounded menu assures that there's always something delicious onhand for everyone.

With most lots like this you can't be compelled to pay the tickets - only when the city issues tickets are they enforceable. The plaza is privately owned, and everything is leased out. So does San Leandro own it? Does the plaza owner think these meters are good for our city? I think the plaza owner will be happy to know that I am on the case and I've never lost a war in my life. I lose fights often, strategically, but never the grand scheme battles. Issues that affect my fellow citizens (like this) are a marathon, and I sprint through them. I promise these meters will be removed. If they refuse, I will demand an appropriate sacrifice from the plaza ownership. If the city somehow owns this plaza and installed these meters - Is San Leandro in need of our quarters that badly, and if so, why don't these even accept quarters? Only allowing electronic pay is certainly a decision. They probably expect us all to be robots in a few years and want to get their infrastructure ready to squeeze the oil out of us when that day comes. I used to get tickets in parking lots in Walnut Creek and would just tear them up. It never came back to haunt me. If I kept parking in those same lots I suppose they could eventually tow the car but I wouldn't give them the opportunity. I still like lowkey small businesses like this one, no frills or decorations, just show up for food. As far as sandwiches go I don't think this is my preference but they come across as very nice and consistent. Other people like this place, it seems. I don't like cold stack sandwiches unless some attention goes into the accents so I'm not the target audience here.

I like to look for new spins on lattes to see what barista's are whipping up to make things unique. I came in thinking I was going to get a basic latte, but the Borgia Mocha caught my eye! I asked the cashier if it was a good choice and she recommended it. I was a little unsure how the two would blend and how much orange they would use in it, but it came out amazing! Honestly probably one of the top 10 unique mocha's I have tried and it was delicious! I loved the burst of refreshing orange that complimented the chocolate. The flavors danced on my tastebuds like two separate flavors that blended together as one. Each holding their own note that added value to the drink making it unique. I was instantly impressed and wish I found this on more menus! A classic mocha with a refreshing twist of orange was a pleasant surprise! I'm so glad I stopped in for a pick me up! I also loved all the art on the large walls and there looked to be plenty of tables and seating for people to eat and work at.

=== Incredible coffee and food. Great vibes ===…read more First, awesome experience. Second, I hate that I keep finding these experiences an HOUR away from where I live. Was meeting up with a friend from Berkeley and he found this spot in between the both of us. Pros and cons! + The coffee - holy shit. Got a cortado. And drank it without sugar it was so good. A touch of bitter (it's coffee - duh!) but so smooth, almost nutty but buttery at the same time. + Got a chicken salad sandwich. It came stacked HIGH with hints of sweetness and curry. Freshest produce. Honestly, I was hungry but could only eat half of it, it was so big. + Friend got a warmed cinnamon bun. Incredible. Yeasty, chewy almost crisp on the outside but pillowy soft on the inside. + Wide open space inside -- high ceilings, one big central area. Not tucked away spaces -- which might or might not match your preference. + Perfect amount of coffeehouse buzz. Music playing lowish in the background and lots of conversations. Just enough to quell my ADHD tendencies. * Honestly can't think of any negatives. Prices are a bit high but happy to pay it for such a quality experience. I think my cortado was decently priced -- maybe $6 or so? Sandwich was $18 or so but done really well and came with a bowl of soup (chips, fruit, and something else was an option instead of soup, but tomato bisque with a sandwich? Divine.) - An hour away from where I live but if you live anywhere East Bay, my curse is your blessing ;-)

I was also surprised they charge an extra $1 just to have the meat served on the side, which feels unnecessary. The service could also be better. There seemed to be a communication barrier with our server. I asked for a plate on the side, and she just nodded without saying anything, which made it unclear whether she understood the request. I'm someone who enjoys drinking the broth, and this wasn't the kind of soup I'd want to finish. There are better pho spots nearby with broth that tastes cleaner and more balanced. The steak was the highlight of the meal and the main reason I'm giving this place 2 stars.

Girl's night out was made extra special by this experience! We got a bunch of girls together for a friend's birthday, and she suggested YOLO, since she has never had a chance to try it. I made reservations for the patio easily, and we converged upon them at the agreed time. Since it looked like rain, and was getting a little windy, they offered to seat us inside if we preferred. We braved the patio, and though a downpour did blow through, we were kept dry and in wine by our very attentive waitstaff. :^) Not one person had an issue with their food. This is amazing in and of itself for a table of 6. The portions were hearty, and the flavors were fantastic. Two people at our table ordered the Ahi tuna, and it arrived covered with sesame seeds and seared to perfection. Also: it was a bigger portion of tuna than I had ever seen. It looked like 2 meals in one, and both ended up bringing a box home for the next day's lunch! I had the maple Chipotle salmon, and the glaze was simply divine. The fish was perfectly cooked, and not "fishy" at all, which you can sometimes get with salmon. We enjoyed our time here so much that we lingered over dessert and our complimentary cocktails when we checked in with the Yelp app. :^) Amazing little gem. I'm sure we will be back! read more

No Doubt about it that this spot is the best place to eat a cheese steak out of the whole bay area or maybe even Cali, who noes.. But damn eating one of these BAD BOYS just feels like I'm about to gain 20 pounds, but see if you think thats a bad thing, its really not, because if you eat this cheese steak its all worth it at the end, just trust me this cheese steak is irresistible and to DIE for If i were to die and i was to have a last request, i would ask for this cheese steak because when i get my hands on this i cant let go because the smell and the taste is like amazing The first bite into this BAD BOY is like a incredible sexy extravagant thrust towards the meat and the bread.. Anyways instead of you hearing my FAT Talk all day, how about you go grab yourself and try it for yourself, because really, if your a fanatic for some Fat to EAt, then Hurry up, This cheese steak is calling your name. OH and if you wanted to know, the usual cheese steak i always get or i mean meal would be Mushroom with bacon cheese steak with French fries and an Arizona ice Tea... WAT YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT...

This place is great! I especially like the teriyaki chicken hoagies. They come stuffed with marinated chicken and cheese. You also get a drink and an enormous portion of french fries. They burgers are similarly tasty as are the fish and chips. These are the best cheesesteak/hoagies I've been able to find in the bay area. read more

I love a charbroiled burger where you can actually see and taste the char, a soft bun, and melted American cheese. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with an extra slice of cheese, swapped the regular onions for grilled onions, and got the fries extra crispy. The burger was amazing. You could really taste the char on the patty, and they even char the bun, which I loved. Everything worked really well together, and it was so good without tasting heavy or greasy like some burgers can. The fries were good, but I personally prefer thinner fries, more like McDonald's size. If I changed anything, I would've asked for extra mayo on the burger. Definitely coming back!

I spent almost $27 for a cheesesteak and fries, and it just wasn't worth it. I think they even double-charged me for peppers, even though my cheesesteak already came with them. Plus, they used bell peppers instead of the usual cheesesteak-style hot or sweet peppers, which really changed the flavor. They also put some kind of oily sauce or dressing on the bread that made it soggy and gave it an odd taste. I'm not sure if they have new people cooking, but it was nothing like the first two times I went. For nearly $27, the quality just wasn't there this time soggy bread, wrong peppers, and disappointing flavor overall.

Every time I come home from whatever trip I'm on, I stop by this place. So here's the deal. It's literally a hole on the wall. All walks of life are in this place. Everything from drug dealers to cops to blue-collar workers to people in suits and ties. And let me tell you, they're all sitting in the same small cramped area just to eat this food. So the cooks are always Latino, and the guy running the register is always Asian. But when I tell you those burgers come out all grilled with melting drippy cheese on soft buns with gtilled edges and fresh lettuce and tomatoes and perfectly sliced red onion to boot! Oh and let's not forget them old school fries you'd get in middle school that were crinkle cut! And did you notice when you were looking through the pictures of all the food posted on Yelp? I will go so far as to say, 75% of those pictures or of what was left over after the person ate their food. I say that to say it was too good to stop and take that picture first. Taking the picture was an afterthought. When I tell you all of their food is delicious, I genuinely mean that. If you're looking for a good burger with fresh produce and different sides to choose from, this is your place. This is just a really nostalgic spot and hits the mark every time, and can we just talk about how affordable these prices are?? One of these days I'm going to get one of the Korean dishes that are on the menu. Problem is, I always say I'm gonna do that. And I always end up getting the same thing, but I always get it because it's so damn good. The next time if I can remember, I will take some pictures.
