Price: Moderate
• Southern • Pearl District
Booked 60 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.

    When we first checked in for our reservation, the wait time was unbelievable. We did not get seated until 30 minutes after our reservation. That was not a great 1st impression 😕 we almost left. There's no point of a reservations if you have to wait but it is understandable. When we did get seated, our waiter Forest was so great. He explained how everything works, very apologetic for the wait time, and making sure we were taken care of. The management was so great as well, he even gave us a dessert for our anniversary. After everything with the fine dining and the extremely good quality food! I will say yes to everything, excellent quality, fine dining, recommend to others, and most definitely will be returning. Thank you for making our anniversary special. ❤️

    Everything was delicious and well paired, for example the gravy really enhanced the fried chicken rather than overpowering it or making it soggy. Mac and cheese was just the right richness and texture. Cocktail was very tasty. Presentation of everything was thoughtful. Generous portions. I was super impressed with the quality, especially for a casual come-as-you-are restaurant. Would definitely come back if we lived in Portland!
