• Southern • NE Portland

Booked 43 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.

Wine program is great! Most people don’t know you can actually buy wine to go from them at 50% off menu prices. Our server was fantastic at explaining dishes being attentive and simply had a great attitude. Our food was paced well and very tasty!

You can’t go wrong with selecting this place, chicken and waffles amazing. Biscuits and gravy fantastic huevos rancheros are awesome. Excellent service, friendly surroundings whether you’re just with family or a big group they’ve got it handled. Keep up the good work screen door crew. You can’t beat not only a good kitchen, but then it’s handled by a wonderful staff, i’ve worked in a restaurant and not all function like a well oil machine as these guys do, starts at the top and flows through👏👏👏

Wedding Anniversary Celebration! We arrived and waited in the lounge for a window table and are so glad we did. Wonderful view! We can recommend the Lobster Bisque and the Lamp Chops. Our server, Daniel, was marvelous and was supported by Laurel, who was a gem. Bethany in the lounge was very good and really took care of us.

We loved the tapa style menu and the drinks were amazing! The LeChon Margarita was the table fav! The elote, the pequito empanadas and the scallops with polenta were our favs. Next time we wa to sit at the kitchen bar, and we lived the jellyfish aquarium behind the bar. We went for dinner but this would be a great place to meet up for HH too!!
