"A neighborhood as densely packed with office buildings as Downtown needs plenty of high-quality lunch options, and 9-to-5ers in search of a quick, hearty, and flavorful repast will find exactly that at Walton’s Fancy and Staple. This airy Downtown deli and flower shop offers solid sandwiches like the Roast Beef Bleu with blue cheese crumbles and arugula, the chicken Caesar wrap with bacon crumbles and a spinach tortilla, and a classic brisket reuben on rye with Thousand Island dressing and sauerkraut. Enjoy a sandwich in the airy dining room or on the small patio out front, and takeout orders can be placed online or in person. Be sure to grab a baked good or two on your way out; the fruit bars, cream puffs, and macarons are beloved for a reason." - Taylor Tobin
"West Sixth Street’s gorgeous deli-slash-florist strikes a balance between tradition and bakery charm. The Turkey Sweet sandwich layers bacon, white cheddar, caramelized onions, and apple chutney on a buttery croissant. Sandwiches here feel a little dressed up without going over the top. It’s a solid lunch spot with a pastry counter worth browsing. Get the sandwich you want quickly by ordering online." - Darcie Duttweiler
"A longtime player in the Warehouse District, Walton’s anchors a corner of West Sixth with old-school deli charm.
