Went here to grab some lunch while on a road trip. These were very good sandwiches at a great price. The outside doesn't look like much of anything from the street, but they make a good sandwich. The people working were also super friendly and are clearly a well oiled machine. They get sandwich making and their large menu of unique items proves it. There's also a great selection of chips and drinks. I really don't think you could go wrong with anything you choose here.

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

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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

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.

This was my first time at the Goose and it will not be my last! I got the Turkey Hoagie with provolone, Mayo, mustard, pickles, onion, tomatoes and lettuce and it was STACKED. The hoagie is HUGE and the best part is it was only $6 and change... you can't beat it! The staff was super friendly and the vibe was a hometown feel. The hoagie was so good! I will definitely be back!

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