• Southern • Pearl District
Booked 39 times today
Walk-in's always welcome! Screen Door is a restaurant that presents itself as a love letter to the American South and the revival of regional cooking. Each day, the restaurant receives natural, local organic meats and produce from nearby vendors. The inclusion of regional Pacific Northwest ingredients into a menu of dishes developed in the south has created a unique flavor profile in Screen Door's menu. Many of Screen Doors dishes draw their inspiration from Louisiana and the Cajun cooking that's found there. These include our world-famous fried chicken, Lowcountry shrimp and grits, smoked andouille chicken gumbo and fried okra. Other items, like the house-smoked beef brisket and braised pork shoulder, come straight from the state of Texas. The rest of the South is well represented as well with a Carolina pulled pork sandwich, chicken and waffles, crispy fried oysters and a pimiento cheese & sausage biscuit sandwich with a fried egg and cheddar grits.

    You’ll find the food at Jake’s is something very special with dishes you will not find anywhere else. The Crab Sauté is a family favorite and has blown away many a guest that we’ve brought from out of town. I had the bouillabaisse last night and it too was amazing. The local Steelhead has several award winning variations. The appetizers are also wonderful. The drinks are special too. Go—you won’t be disappointed!!

    Every dish we ordered was very tasty. Not too spicy and very flavorful. The khao soy, papaya salad, and the hat yai fried chicken to die for! Lobster pad thai and crispy duck ka pow with the volcano noodles topped off the feast for just four of us. Then we managed to top it off with a boat dish of various desserts for us all to share! Oh my! Service was excellent and the pinot a perfect choice for pairing along with the flight of whiskey. Wonderful all around!

    We did the tasting menu and the only complaints are that it was heavy on the salads and there was no dessert. But it was great food and great service. Would definitely recommend
