"Since it opened its doors in 1944, Maceo Spice has been a Galveston institution. True to its name, the shop is well-stocked with walls of fragrant spices and specialty blends (unsurprisingly, you’re going to want to grab a few things to take home), a deli counter featuring sliced meats and cheeses, and pantry staples such as olive oil, vinegar, pasta, and sauces. Diners will also find a solid menu of sandwiches during lunch. Bring a friend: The muffuletta is big enough for two." - Brianna Griff
"As far as muffulettas go, Maceo’s Spice & Import Company, an Italian deli just off the Strand in downtown Galveston, might make the best one on the Gulf Coast (but don’t tell New Orleans we said that). The soft, olive oil dressed bread—baked in nearby League City using Maceo’s recipe—dressed in a schmear of sweet and briny olives, with a near Goldilocks ratio of sliced deli meats and cheese, is a thing of beauty. Grab a sandwich for lunch or brunch, along with an armful of groceries and dried pasta." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
