This place feels like you're stepping back in time. You can tell it's a college and community staple both.. All the memorabilia on the walls shows how much they love the community they live and work in. I ordered a hot turkey and roast beef with coleslaw on a Portuguese roll. I have no idea how they remember everyone's orders and stay organized, but they're on top of it. Amazing staff of people working there and extremely efficient. Sandwich was perfect and exactly what I wanted. The Portuguese roll was 100/10. Wish this place was by me at home because I'd be there at least once a week.

The Aardvark

The Goose is a family run sandwich shop in Southside Bethlehem located just off campus of Lehigh University. When I arrived there was a line out the door. That's always a good sign. While waiting I decided to look online at the menu so I could have my order ready. The problem with that was I couldn't find their menu anywhere. When I got close to the counter I realized they had all of their special sandwiches written on paper plates. I'm sure there is some significance behind that, but I would prefer an actual menu. Luckily the owner was working the counter so he made some good recommendations. I decided on ordering one of their most popular hoagies; the Aardvark. It's made with buffalo chicken, pepper ham, bacon, cheddar jack, hot sauce, and mayo. The hoagie was lightly toasted and packed with meat. Delicious! On top of the food being fantastic, counter service is friendly and the prices are affordable. The Goose checks all the boxes. Aardvark - 8.3 Food - 8.3 Service - 8.2 Value - 8.3 Restaurant score - 83

Staple and #1 undisputed deli in Bethlehem known for their specialty sandwiches. The owner knows his customers better than any other shop owner I've met and you're lucky to get in here when its not busy, but the sandwiches are worth the waits every time!

This place is a mom and pop deli with plenty of sandwich options but the only downside is the wait time can be pretty inconvenient. At 2pm the line was out the door and it took 25 minutes for us to place our order, so definitely be prepared to wait. This is a friendly place with affordable prices. The meat is freshly cut and there's plenty of seating.

Mama Goosey Stuffa You Face

Finally stopped in to the Goose after being told to go at least 3 dozen times. Got the "Mama Goosey Stuffa you face" mainly so I could say that sentence out loud. The Italian was very good for the cost. I do think they could benefit from a slightly better roll but I loved the place, the employees were awesome, and it was wallet friendly. Will be back in to try other menu items for sure but for now The Goose - Didn't Suck! Check out this video and hundreds more on my social pages here - https://linktr.ee/Didnt_Suck

Italian sub (half)

Great college food gem by Lehigh University. Super cheap. Hole in the wall. Stopped in when a coffee shop nearby was closed and I needed snack. Great value. Everything was very reasonably priced and good portions. Has small bathrooms to the left of the counter. Plenty of seating. Very fast and efficient service.

Chicken salad hoagie

Chicken salad hoagie, toasted, without cheese, was pretty good for lunch today. Older man behind the counter, maybe the owner, was nice, as was the younger man at cash register. I'm used to having sandwiches wrapped, whether eating in or taking out.

Great sandwiches and a super sweet team behind the counters. The bread was very soft and cheeses were fresh.

Roast beef with au jus and  provolone on one of their one of a kind rolls.
Maureen G.

Perfect amount of roast beef on a sandwich. A decent sandwich that hits the spot in a pinch. The staff are what sells this place. Extremely friendly and welcoming.

You can Not get a better sandwich in the Lehigh Valley for the money. You couldn't even go buy the meat and make your own!
