Story

About Duck & Decanter
Duck and Decanter, as it is known today, began In November of 1972 under the new ownership of Dort and Earl Mettler. The original location was on Camelback just east of 16th Street (underneath what is now McDonald’s in the Sport’s Authority center). A large garden nursery surrounded the “Duck”, providing the ambiance of a park like environment with outside seating on a lawn with rolling hills. The Duck’s limited, yet growing menu, consisted of freshly prepared, high quality sandwiches made from unique recipes along with a variety of food including soups, salads and desserts.
The popularity of the Duck flourished and so needed to expand. The expansion included additional sandwich bars and provided a greater variety of unique goods by creating separate departments for the wine, coffee and gift baskets in addition to the growing specialty foods and housewares area.
The Duck was floating high on a wave, but it was not always an easy tide. In 1981, the property of the original Duck and the adjacent nursery was bought. The Duck received notification that their lease may not be renewed. Later that year the Duck opened a second location at Camelview Plaza (now a part of Scottsdale Fashion Square). This store was opened just in case the lease of the original store was revoked.
Also that year former Phoenix Mayor John Driggs approached the Duck regarding the opening of a store in the Carriage House at Heritage Square, an historical landmark. Because of this success, the City of Phoenix invited the Duck to co-lease the Teeter House at the Square with the Central Arizona Museum to establish an indoor eating facility.
During 1985, not knowing if the thousands of petitioned signatures of our solid customer base was responsible, the original Duck was saved. New ownership of the Arboleda Office complex agreed to build a brand new Duck south of the original location.

Very cool place. Has plenty of outdoor dining and 2 stories of seating inside. Sandwiches are excellent.
Like the store environment and outdoor patio. We had the duckling sandwich and the tuna salad. Both were recommended by the store and are their popular items the sandwich is their award winning item. They are both good but nothing special nor outstanding.
I died and went to Sandwich heaven! I've been dreaming of the "Where's the Beef" sandwich! Great place to shop for wine, coffee, tea and gift basket foods too! Will have to come back when they have live music on the patio.
Great food with with plenty of meat, and wonderful service. We got the tuna on onion bread, the B&T, and beef brisket chili and all were very flavorful! Will definitely be going back soon.
great sandwhiches but they forgot to put one of ours in the bag it happens but unfortunately it was the kiddos so we had to scrap together our sandwiches to give them a little something
Love the food and menu, but they ran out of coffee, and never had another pot available. One person taking orders from people who don't know what they want, and long lines. Not a place to go if you're in a hurry.
