If there was ever a perfect deli in the perfect spot it would be Goody's. I don't know how long this place has been on business, but I used to eat here 20 years ago. I was hoping my memories of this place weren't simply the nostalgia of my younger years, but as it turns out this place is still great. The atmosphere is pretty much built like a mullet, business in the front and party in the back. Facing the college is a typical deli, with a fountain machine, pretty simple tables, and a moderate view of cars and students passing by. Right behind the deli is a full blown sports bar that as a college student I never frequented. Mostly that's my fault for having to rely on cheap drinks at particular bars, but it shouldn't keep you away. The place always seems lively, so I'm sure it's a good time. The service is what you would expect at a deli. You order everything at the counter, they make it fresh in front of you, or you come back to grab your food if it's busy extremely busy (sometimes it is). My personal opinion about most delis is that their secret is in the bread, and this place is no exception. The breads are soft, fresh, and are typically paired with the appropriate sandwiches. You can get any bread you want, but certain sandwiches they serve really do have a preferred flavor palette that only the proper bread selection can complete. The subs are great, and I had on my first visit, but don't sleep on the pizzas, or the pizza bombs. When I lived in Pocatello all I ever ordered were pizza bombs, but my taste buds have clearly matured as I aged (not really, just add tacos). Honestly, I don't have a negative thought in my mind about this place. They even have Sun Chips, which is one of my favorite things to stuff in my submarine sandwichea. Try it! Not just the chips in the sub, but Goody's on general.

Ate here with my family on a Friday about1 1 pm. Some had sandwiches others had pizza and hot sandwiches. There was a small line for sandwiches but it went quick. Ironically there was no line for hot food, yet it took 35 minutes from when we ordered to when we got the food. The pizza was really tasty though the kids didn’t like the hard to eat crust. The sandwiches were prepared in front of you. They have a typically array of sodas on tap.

Food is good. 100% got nasty food poisoning from here. 24 hours of death. Just while standing in line we watched one sandwich girl hike up her pants with her gloves on then go right back to making the sandwich. Other sandwich girl wiped her gloves on her shirt and went right back to making a sandwich. The sandwich kept brushing up against her nasty jacket. She also took cash with the same gloves on and went back to making a sandwich. The guy behind them at the pizza cutting counter pushed his glasses up, rubbed his eyes with his gloved hands, and went right back to the pizza. Then walked around and reached under the counter to grab deli meat to slice with the same gloves as well. While we were there all the employees were going out the side door with personal fountain drinks in and out in and out. Nobody ever washed their hands. Does nobody else notice this stuff? This all happened in the course of about five minutes. I was eating the sandwich thinking I was going to regret it. And regret it I did. I can’t remember being so sick but thankfully the worst was over after 24 hours. It’s a shame because the food really was good. But I can’t make myself go back. I hope you guys train on very basic hygiene and glove protocol.
