• Southern • Pearl District

Booked 58 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.

We arrived when they opened at 4:00 so it was easy to get a table with a great view. Took my 12 yr old granddaughter for her bday. She was impressed! The service was excellent. Sherry was great. The water guy, Chris, was very friendly and helpful! Food was good but not a lot of choices for my granddaughter who doesn’t like seafood. (Our problem not theirs). She loved the bread! Lol! They gave her a small piece of cake for her bday.

Took my dad for his 84th birthday. He had a hard time deciding what to get - everything sounds delicious. They provided a dairy-free desert option on the house once I told our waiter - who was fantastic- that my dad can’t do dairy. All around a special evening and we will be back.

We were a party of seven and with that group we were requested to enjoy our meal family style. that worked out great. It was a lovely fresh variety of tastes and flavors and a good time was had by all. This group of restaurants-MEC-were highly recommended by a colleague who had moved from New York to Portland two years ago. I am a native of the Seattle area and the other guests were from several parts of the US.
