The Best Classic Restaurants in Phoenix | Eater Phoenix

"When The Duck, as it’s affectionately called by its legion of regulars, opened in 1972, it was housed in a tiny cottage beside a grassy, tree-shaded park, but — as so often happens — developers paved paradise and put up a parking lot. However, this popular sandwich shop and market — which also sells wine, coffee, cheeses, and other gourmet items — survived the shake-up, moving in 1985 to a cozy spot just across the driveway, where it’s been dishing out creative, high-quality sandwiches, soups, and salads ever since. Check out the “signature nooners” section of the menu for fun sandwiches such as the “the Duckling,” a Thanksgiving-ish assemblage of smoked duck breast, roasted turkey breast, cream cheese, cranberry relish, and spring mix on cranberry-walnut country bread." - Nikki Buchanan
