Duck and Decanter

Ordered the Hot One supposed to come with cheese, but didn't. Brisket tasted like barely seasoned boiled meat. Horseradish was on the sweet side. Expensive tiny sandwich, not worth it.

Dashing in Sunday at noon to get a sandwich and this place is packed from inside to out the live music is great, The line isn't too long but that's after you order they will get right to it. The menu is varied and you will definitely want to try some of the decanter favorites. The Staff is very peaceful and cheery to help if you need it. Keep in mind it will be a bit of a wait even with barely anyone in there but the shop is great the prices are a bit expensive (compared to Jersey Mike's offering a whole giant for similar pricing) for some of the sandwiches its great in value though and the variety is plenty to choose from would come back for a group eatout

What do you do when you’re heartbroken, sweaty from a post-gym meltdown, and suddenly starving for something other than emotional closure? You go to The Duck & Decanter, obviously. This local gem in Phoenix has become my faithful go-to for midday soul-soothing, and not just because the name makes me feel oddly fancy for someone who cried in the Eos parking lot. I ordered The Duckling (because we love a sandwich that matches our emotional state) and an iced tea, then claimed a spot on the patio like I was the main character in an indie film titled “Healing, But Make It Tasty.” The sandwich? Glorious. The tea? Restorative. The patio? A little slice of Phoenix peace before the sun decides we’ve had too much fun and cranks things up to lava. Honestly, this place hits all the marks: cozy, iconic, unfussy, and full of the kind of comfort food that reminds you you’re gonna be okay, even if Beau, the gorgeous auburn haired Swiss boy, broke up with you after saying “I love you!” 10/10. Will absolutely be back, heartbreak optional, appetite mandatory.

First time here from a recommendation by my dentist. I was excited from looking at the reviews, photos, and menu. It was so disappointing once I came to have lunch today. I had the (full) duckling sandwich $12.99, 8oz coleslaw $2.89, fountain drink 24oz $2.99, and Kettle Chips 2oz bag $2.39… with two free pickles. The sandwich was good quality, but skimpy on the portion of meat - see photos. The coleslaw was dry; and not creamy at all. The chips and pickles were enjoyable. Everything served ‘To Go’ in a bag. You find your seating. There seems to be enough inside, and far more outside — nice to see the weather improving for outdoor dining. Mind people who are in the way unsure of where to stand while waiting for their order. Bathrooms are in a separate facility accessed out the back… turn right, turn right, and turn left. They’re clean. Keep the lights on so the fan/AC continue to run. Parking is a challenge. A lot of spaces marked Reserved for Copenhagen and DXL… so many that it’s ridiculous. I parked a good distance in the Target 🎯 parking lot. There’s a lot more to D&D — novelties, cheeses, sausages, breads & crackers, wines, etc. There’s a separate room for sampling(?) and drinks. I don’t know if I’ll return. Try them and see for yourself. I was disappointed in the serving portion of the duckling, and the coleslaw could be creamier.

Our first time here this past weekend. Great atmosphere in food and shopping. Prices are reasonable. The girl that took our order was patient with us, giving us options, how things work, and giving suggestions. We plan on coming again.

What an awesome little place with a long history! My buddies at work told me about this place and we finally got the chance to come by for lunch. This place is amazing! They have excellent quality sandwiches and a mini store inside along with a bar. The service was great and we got our sandwiches ordered quick and had just enough time to browse around the shop. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for good food! They also have other menu items and a good selection of drinks/chips! Cheers!

This is a quaint and casual sandwich shop with local goods store and cafe in one. I was craving a sandwich and found this on Yelp. I ordered The Duckling, Full, and The Hot One, Full. From order to takeout, it took about 20 minutes. The Duckling - I enjoyed this fall flavored combo. It was a cold sandwich and wasn’t too filling but it hit the spot. The Hot One - I enjoyed this one because it was simple and tasted really good. The beef was tender but slightly dry. The horseradish was potent enough to clear all sinuses! It wasn’t that big for the price so that was mildly disappointing. Their pickles were so good! You get 2 per bag and honestly the star of this show. There was a ton of seating and the place was home to many local and unique goods.

The D.A.M.sandwich is basically coleslaw on a bun with a sprinkle of pulled pork. The cold turkey sandwich was delicious but still barely any meat. $10+ for a sandwich, not worth it.

I had no clue this place was here but I'm so glad I found it! I was down the block for a car service and had 2 hours to kill. So glad I stopped by! Everyone was super friendly and helpful. I was told to try their signature sandwich and was not disappointed. The meat was flavorful and the cream cheese and cranberry relish were something I've never tried on a sandwich. I will definitely be back to try their curry chicken! Also, their rotating teas were something I've never good! I love tea. So it was a very nice surprise to get to try some of what they offer. I'll be back to buy some tea for some Christmas gifts and to try some more of what is on the menu. This is a great local gem!

I have passed Duck and Decanter for so many years while driving up the highway wondering what it was . Fate made me come in as I was shopping for a car w my daughter up the way. We walked over while waiting for her car to get evaluated. It was worth the walk . Tucked far away in a back corner , this novel looking " house" is a little harder to find in the parking lot. It has great outdoor seating w a fireplace. But at 110 we went inside . When you get through the door you are treated w the scent of cheese and bread . There is lots of things to grab your eyes. Novelty items for gifts , wines , coffees , teas , spices and more. We grabbed a menu and looked over the Interesting combos we settled on the Ruben , the whole thing and the fiery Italian . Some potato salad , extra pickle and chips The Ruben was really tasty I loved the bread was a bit softer and lightly toasted . It could have used just a touch more of meat , because it tasted so good , but in these economics I understand likely they cut back. The whole thing was packed w flavor , I read somewhere else the person was mad it had too much filling ? SMH .. iit was great . The fiery Italian had just the right amount of bite the salami wasn't fatty at all , bread held up to the last bite. The potato salad and pickle were basic. Not bad but was expecting a bit more. There is also a caution as we had someone in our party who is allergic to eggs and it was loaded. They were disappointed after my first bite they couldn't share. We sat up in the loft which was super charming and filled with restaurant memorabilia and paper clipping telling the story of the restaurant. Overall for the price and the equality of if I lived local I would put it on my lunch rotation to try more items. Or should I say , have another " nooner"

First time here, came Saturday for a lunch around 11. Absolutely amazing sandwiches! Great quality and calming vibe that the place has. I would definitely rec this place. Our 2 Sandwiches & 2 fountain drinks was $38. Pricey but great quality sandwiches to have one in awhile, about $19 a meal.

One of my favorite places to visit when I'm on this side of town! Delicious made to order sandwiches, done the RIGHT way. Friendly staff, fresh teas and coffee, I hope this place never goes away.

This place is so cute to come and get a nice meal and chill for a little! It's tucked away off the main road so it's not too busy and there are plenty of spots inside and out to sit. They have a cute little market and they make your sandwich fresh. I got the duck sandwich and it was good but felt the meat to cream cheese ratio was off and it could have used way more meat and other fillings or less cream cheese. The soup was perfect for the chilly weather and I loved that they had a lot of tea options.

My mother-in-law has been going to duck and decanter most of her life, and said we had to try it too! I see why it's worth the hype. It has a general store deli vibe and feels like stepping into another time. All of the ingredients are fresh, and the toasted bread is delicious. The entire family enjoyed what they got, and you gotta love the free pickles!

Great place for luncheon meetings! Good parking and choice of menu! Access for disabilties, south side of Camelback.

Great local sandwich spot in a cool old carriage house. I love the vibe inside with seating indoor, outdoor, and an open second floor. They also have other goods for sale like books, trinkets, coffee and more. Service was relatively quick and was pretty busy on a Saturday afternoon. Lots of sandwich options and availability to build your own. Definitely will be back!

A valley staple for a reason! Quick service, cozy atmosphere, and incredible sandwiches. A perfect trio in my book!

Best sandwiches in town! Duck makes everything fresh, always consistent, and best atmosphere of anywhere. It's fun to walk around the shop and explore while waiting for your order. You never know what knick knack, gadget, or hard to find foods you'll need to bring home. Highly recommend!!

Was in this area to watch a grandson play soccer. They won. We all went to get something to eat. My son suggested we eat here as it was close. There was a lot of people there but getting in line and ordering went quickly. The unique thing is you can buy cheese and meats to take home. Their selection was very good. I got a BTC, their take on a BLT with cheese. Orders came fast and we all enjoyed meal. This is a place of I lived closer, I would come here often. There is seating inside, upstairs and outside. I you have a pet they can be with you outside.

Second time coming here. First time the sandwiches were tolerable, nothing to write home about. I don't even remember my order. This time around--oh my gosh--literally the worst sandwich I have ever eaten. The Vermont. WHY is it on the menu. I am not picky at all but when i tasted the stale bread paired with the cheese spread......trash immediately. I couldn't even eat what i already chewed. I could cry this sandwich was so disgusting haha. It is a cool little spot but the food is meh and overpriced. 50 dollars for 3 sandwiches and no drinks?

Probably picked the wrong food, but this sandwich was terrible. The lettuce was black, the bread was stale, and it was $11 for a tiny turkey sandwich. They also charged $8 for a rice Krispies treat. Price was not on label. Boring and bad sandwich.

I've been driving by the Duck and Decanter for years but never stopped in until today. I've now realized that I've been missing out this whole time. This is a great place for sandwiches for not only locals, but those visiting. It's on our list for when friends come to town. Next time I'm going to try the wine experience.

Cannot believe I have lived in Phoenix for over 10 years and have just discovered this place. Amazing sandwich shop with a beer and wine store and gift shop all rolled into one. They sell very clever t shirts as well. Staff are very polite. Sandwiches are really good!! Get some!

Great concept and had high hopes after all the good reviews but my group was pretty underwhelmed. We got the curry chicken salad sandwich, egg salad, and the marinated roasted chicken sandwich. Nothing special and tasted like something you could throw together at home. Would consider maybe coming back and trying for breakfast but won't be rushing back. Also, their bathrooms were pretty gross...

Finally made it to this Phoenix classic and had a delightful meal. My lunch partner and I split a chicken curry sandwich on ciabatta and a mini roast chicken salad with Italian dressing. Everything was very flavorful and delicious. I was especially pleasantly surprised by the chicken in the salad, which was tender, herby, and slightly warmed. I also loved that our order came with a pickle and little Italian candy! Great service and food, affordable prices. Will definitely be back!

I've been coming here for years and I love the cozy atmosphere. They have a lot of unique local products that you don't see anywhere else, as well as an extensive coffee and loose leaf tea selection. The food is good, nothing too unique, but good if you just want a standard sandwich with quality ingredients. It's cool that it has been around for so long, and they have a lot of memorabilia around the restaurant. I think it would be a good place to bring a book or do some work, especially in the upstairs area.

Friendly service even when busy. Food prepared fresh & tended to with loving care by the team. All ages welcomed & diverse artistic community vibing good energy. Music too in the outside area so great to visit or take out. Longtime customer. Grateful it is still here. .

Waited 55 min for a cold sandwich. They weren't very busy and there was at least ten staff members there. Unfortunately the sandwich was not that good either. One star for the yummy cookies.

The best sandwiches with a gourmet market. And entertainment on the patio with great atmosphere.

I've been passing this establishment for years and have always been curious about it. I came in later on a Sunday afternoon and the service was okay, it did take quite a while. The ordering and pick up process was kind of confusing. They luckily have lots of products to distract you while you wait. Plenty of sauces, biscuits, jams, spreads, seasonings and sweet treats to choose from. I was kind of bummed out they ran out of the cranberry bread because I ordered the Duckling. There was however, plenty of cranberry spread on the sandwich. There was probably a little too much for my liking. The potato salad was very bland, I do not recommend it. They included a tiny hard candy in my bag so that was thoughtful. I enjoyed checking them out and their outdoor patio. Charming interior, okay service and food.

This is a quaint and casual sandwich shop with local goods store and cafe in one. I was craving a sandwich and found this on Yelp. I ordered The Duckling, Full, and The Hot One, Full. From order to takeout, it took about 20 minutes. The Duckling - I enjoyed this fall flavored combo. It was a cold sandwich and wasn't too filling but it hit the spot.

It wasn't that big for the price so that was mildly disappointing. Their pickles were so good! You get 2 per bag and honestly the star of this show. There was a ton of seating and the place was home to many local and unique goods.

HIDDEN GEM OF PHOENIX!! This place has been in business for decades and honestly, I'm disappointed I hadn't heard of it sooner. I've now been twice and each time the staff is beyond friendly, welcoming and helpful! My first visit, I spoke with one of the team members and she shared she'd be working for the owner for years and how great of a place it was to work. The interior is so fun! You'll find cute little knickknacks for purchase, a coffee area, cheese fridge, wine bar, a loft and so much more. This place has TONS of seating from the outdoor patio to the upstairs that sprawls out. As for the food, I've only gotten the build your own sandwich but each time it was exactly what I was craving - delicious, homemade food. I got the roast beef with veggies, cheese and sprouts this most recent time. Was an absolutely divine sandwich. They offer a half and full size, I'd recommend paying for the full since the size difference is big but the price difference isn't. More bang for you buck, plus, you'll want more. I also love the pickles! They have pickles as sides and as a pickle lover, I helped myself to 2. Yum!

Two of my favorite things under one roof - eating and shopping. I tried their duckling sandwich and opted for a mini one because I wasn't too hungry but I wished I ordered a full one as their mini was really small. It was yummy too. The duckling had nice smoky flavor, but probably wouldn't have known it was duck if they didn't tell me. Seasoning was spot on and was complete with pickle wedge. Also tried their ice tea; they had nice selection to try. The shopping was fun. They had wide selection of loose teas and coffee. I was little overwhelmed so opted to save it for next time when I am in the mood to try it. Lots of knick knacks to look at and buy. Decent place to buy gifts. Enjoy!

Absolutely adorable and charming sandwich spot. Haven't been to many places in phoenix that have this much character! D&d is located in a small old home around Biltmore and is a great spot for a quick easy lunch. Their sandwiches are made to order-they have several speciality sandwiches, or you can build your own. You order at the counter and they make the sandwiches in front of you, took around 10 minutes for my two sandwiches. Plus, the prices are very fair for what you get. The interior has a market with local goods, and they have tons of different chip and beverage options that you can order on the side. The restaurant is lined with historic phoenix objects including their original building plans and awards from the 80s which was super cool. Tried the briesciutto and fiery italian sandwiches. Both were solid sandwiches and made of quality ingredients, no major complaints but would try another sandwich there next time. Sandwiches also came with a pickle and small piece of candy which was cute!

The inside of this place is so fun! There is a lot more seating inside than it seems from the outside because there are two levels inside. There is a store inside and the walls are covered with historical memorabilia. It's a great place to enjoy lunch. I have eaten here a couple of times and it's always been delicious. Most recently I went and had the half and half option to get a half of a bleu turkey sandwich and half of a chef's salad. They were both tasty but I did not realize the bleu turkey was basically a turkey version of chicken salad sandwich. Not my favorite because I'm not a fan of so much mayo, but I can't complain because it was still delicious. The salad though was my favorite. I should have just gone all in on the salad.

Stopped by for a quick lunch and tried their chicken salad herb sandwich on cranberry walnut bread with lettuce, tomato, and cheddar cheese. It was decent, nothing extraordinary. I felt like the chicken salad itself lacked the herb flavor that I was hoping for and the bread was pretty dry; almost stale tasting. :( However, the customer service was nice, and the patio area provided a nice atmosphere to enjoy the meal before heading out for the day's adventure. I would stop by again because the price was okay for what you got but only if I was in the area and would not go out of my way for anything here.

If you're in Phoenix, go visit The Duck. Healthy and delicious sandwiches in a unique building. Be patient, as everything is prepared fresh.

Decided to treat myself to a working persons lunch- usually I save money by eating at home. I got the duck sandwich. I GOT THE DUCK SANDWICH! I think all of my calories for the day was in that 1 meal! I'm pretty sure I ate half a block of cream cheese. Sure sure! Super flavorful, could stand to have a few extra slices of meat though. Super sweet people working there. Oh yeah- I'll be back!

Nice spot for outdoor dining but have not been impressed lately with the quality of their sandwiches. I dined with several friends who had never eaten there, and they rated the food as good but not great.

Duck and Decanter isn't just a restaurant--it's a Phoenix institution, a community, and a place where every meal feels like home. The Blue Turkey Salad is my absolute favorite. It's fresh, flavorful, and consistently perfect--one of those meals you crave before you've even finished the last bite. But as much as I love the food, what truly makes this place special is the people, especially Jolynn. Her warmth, kindness, and dedication to this place and its guests shine through in every detail. The Mettler family has built something extraordinary here, and you feel it the moment you walk in. Whether you're stopping by for a quick lunch or settling in for a relaxed afternoon, Duck and Decanter isn't just a great spot--it's a Phoenix treasure.

Everything here is pretty simple but it's done well. The woman who took our order was super helpful - it was our first time and she gave a lot of great recommendations and was very patient. There's plenty of seating and it has a cozy, homey vibe. For the food, again nothing surprising but just straightforward food with attention to quality. I had a turkey sandwich on sourdough and got the oolong tea. Enjoyed both!

This place is such a gem. Duck and decanter is a Phoenix classic. Cozy interior with super friendly staff that are all nice, helpful, and smiley. The sandwiches at this place never disappoint. I got a mini turkey sandwich on sourdough and it was the perfect sized lunch for me. They have free pickles with all orders, and their Diet Coke is extra crispy. I love this place, if I could give Duck above 5 stars I would. The best spot!!!

If you know me you know I love a good sammy. Duck and Decanter delivers amazing sandwiches, fresh salads and more!! There's outside patio seating and plenty of shaded spots outdoors. They even have a little water bowl station for your pups!! Hubs and I both got a build your own turkey sandwich, mine on sourdough and his on French bread. We also got some macaroni pasta salad and some desserts. For the 2 sandwiches, pasta salad, brownie and fudge it was $40. The build your own come with as many toppings you would like. They are generous with the meat and veggies! I loved my sandwich and liked they had sprouts available which I love on sandwiches. The sourdough was fluffy and perfect. (They also offer to toast it if you like). Hubs loved his sandwich but the French bread was a little tough like a beef jerky. You really had to pull on it to eat it lol. The macaroni salad was a mayo base with dill. It was fabulous and the kids really enjoyed it as well. They also have cookies, fairytale brownies (which is a local business), fudge and more. Take your time shopping while you wait for your order. Overall, an awesome sandwich spot to cure all your sandwich wants! We will definitely be back in to try their soups next too!

D&D was referred to me by a local colleague. "Great Sandwiches" I needed 90 different individually wrapped sandwich/salad options within 24 hours. JoLynn was patient, informative, and helpful all around with talking me though the best options and making recommendations for the dietary restriction options. Many thanks for making the process easy for us. Lunch was huge success. PS: Also the kind team of associates helped me to my car for the pick up of 6 boxes without being asked.

I like that you can build your own sandwich, selecting bread, fillings and dressings and all sandwiches come with optional pickle in a zip lock bag so that your sandwich doesn't get soggy. They prepare gluten free sandwiches in a separate location to help prevent cross contamination and while you wait there are cool food and gift items to look at. The seating upstairs is nice with a variety of nooks and crannies where you can find quiet areas if desired. The only drawback was the gluten free half sandwich was very small, Likely due to the small size of the GF bread. It was also hard to eat the carrots as they were large spears, I thought they would be thin slices or shredded. I'm glad I also got a side of coleslaw which was very good, healthy and not too much dressing.

Most of the indoor seating is upstairs, you might want to keep this in mind if you don't want to eat outside in the Phx heat. Although, when it is nice out, there is plenty of outdoor (both shaded and non-shaded) seating. Sandwiches are pretty good but are slightly overpriced for their proportions in my opinion. They have lots of options for drinks including different teas.

Darling place. Great food. Friendly, mature/well established staff. Clearly a local staple with a dedicated following.

I have been going to the Duck for years now. We used to go a lot when they had a really neat outdoor setting and music. Whereas that has all changed now, the food is still good, and I like to still go and grab a albacore tuna sandwich on marble rye for lunch from time to time. I appreciate that they are still open. They have lunch specials everyday and I love their selection of teas. I do miss the old patio and music, but again, I do highly recommend stopping by and grabbing lunch.

I love everything about the duck!! Great sandwiches and just a lovely environment. Everything's quick and delicious.

Duck and Decanter has always been one of my favorite places for a tuna sandwich. The last two times we've gone, I was very disappointed. We went about a month ago and I ordered an albacore tuna on a pita. There was barely any tuna. I could have put it on one side. I figured it was just a fluke. Yesterday, my husband met friends there for lunch. I wasn't able to go, as I had surgery the day before. I asked him to bring home some tuna. Imagine my surprise when I opened my half pound container to see there were more water chestnuts than tuna. There was enough tuna to make one sandwich. I hope Duck and Decanter isn't changing how they prepare and serve their food.

Ordered the Fiery Italian sandwich and it was great. The deli meats and the condiments used were delicious. They also have other items to buy. For example I bought a LB of coffee called "Cafe Mexicano" this coffee blend is phenomenal.

They are consistently good, expedient and the quality is high. I love meeting people here for lunch.

Takes me back to having lunch with my mom and dad. It was their favorite place when visiting. My favorite is egg salad on French bread. Thanks for the fond memories.

Good fresh ingredients. Bread was a little hard for both sandwiches. Soup was good with a lot of flavor. Nice outdoor area that was dog friendly. Definitely worth going back to and trying something else next time.

Felt like a meal made with love, the atmosphere here is special and the ability to shop is a really cool take. Will be back!

Stopped by for lunch! Food was great. It's hard to find a good gluten free bread and it was okay I'm still adjusting to being GF so I'm picky about my breads. We also got a few goodies from their little shop. The service was great. They have ample seating inside and out, it's the perfect area for a little lunch date. Definitely recommend!

I recently met a girlfriend here for lunch. We both ordered sandwiches, they were delicious. This place has a constant flow of business. I bought one of the packages of soup, you just add broth and protein, it was pretty good. Friendly staff too.
