Neighbourhood gem
Good for special occasions

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 have been there several times but tonight was not a good experience. They seemed understaffed. The bartender was waiting tables as well and it took 20 minutes to get a cocktail after placing the order. It took 40 minutes for our food to be given after we ordered. Was disappointed with the level of service although the staff were very pleasant.

This place is like a slightly elevated diner. It’s very loud, servers wear hoodies and look like they just sort of wandered in from running errands. The food is definitely not cooked to order & lacks originality and freshness. If you are catching a show, however, it is right next to the Armory and they have a theater prix fix menu at $28 for a starter & main.

One of our favorite places. Server was very nice, but service was very slow. We ordered the special pork chop, which didn't note any spice level but was surprisingly spicy - but delicious. I had to change meals with my adult daughter because it was too spicy for her. The chicken was amazing as always, as was the acorn squash and the smoked mushrooms. We still love this place, but the dinner menu seems to be less consistent than the brunch menu.
