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.

    Flavorful display of beautiful South American tapas style cuisine! Wagyu steak tartare, grilled octopus, and Brandt farms flat iron steak were among some of my favorites. The cocktails are delicious and beautifully garnished! I recommend the sangria! We will definitely be back to try the next “what the chef is eating” lineup!

    Exceptional service , great vibe, food was well above average. When you want an above average night out but don’t want the stuffy atmosphere this would be the spot. Based on eating in the bar area. If you want a more intimate time go to the dining room. Highly recommend reservations especially if go with the intention of a show down the street afterwards. I would go back again just for the awareness of the staff for those trying to time showtime after dinner.

    This is my favorite place to eat at anytime we are in Portland! I love the atmosphere of the pearl district location! We come here very often and always can’t wait to go back. My favorite is their chicken and dumplings. It’s so flavorful and warms your soul. My husband’s favorite is the chicken and waffles, so much flavor in the chicken and with a sweet potato waffle it just comes together so well. You won’t regret eating here!

    We went at 5:30 on a Saturday. CL was only about 1/4 full. Service was excellent and professional; menu options are relatively few (4 main dishes), but they were al excellently done and without any problems. The pizza was exceptionally good. About 6:30 they turned on the "background" music that was way too loud. After we requested it, they did turn it down a bit. Note that a 10% gratuity is added for the "back office/kitchen/cleaners", and you can tip the server separately. Personally, I wish they wold just raise their prices to cover the costs instead of adding a 10% mandatory for non-service staff, but that does not detrac from the dining experience.
