What People Are Saying About Screen Door
The Owner
Screen Door
Owner
Screen Door presents a celebration of southern cuisine as experienced by southern natives from the quintessential hearty fare to the everyday food gathered from the garden.
The central concept is making use of the similar rich bounty of local fresh produce found here in the Northwest that is sometimes taken for granted in the south.
Screen Door serves local and organic produce and meats everyday and fosters the concept of maintaining the connection between farm and plate.

In Short
A casual corner spot on East Burnside, the minimalist interior decor of this eatery features bright jars of pickled vegetables and giant slats of hardwood on the walls. Neighborhood diners pack the place, seeking soulful Southern cooking like baked beans brimming with ham, crispy buttermilk-fried chicken and oyster po'boy sandwiches. Notable desserts include the Charleston fried peach pie a la mode.

The name "Screen Door" makes the restaurant seem sort of low-rent. I was invited by some friends, and reluctantly went along. As soon as I saw the menu, I knew I was going to like my dinner. When dinner came, I was so focused on enjoying my fried chicken, mashed potatoes and cornbread that I never really chatted with my friends. What a satisfying meal! Dessert was great, too. I left feeling 10lbs heavier, but in a positive way. =) I've eagerly recommended Screen Door to other friends.

Alright, one of my best friends raved about this place and so I went there not too long ago with her and another friend. I have to say, I'm not impressed AT ALL. I figure it's because of the service of my particular waitress, but she certainly did not make me pleased to be there. I ordered the vanilla bean french toast. It certainly didn't look like vanilla bean french toast, but the waitress assured me it was. Guess what? I got the regular french toast, though I did not discover it until the check came and my food had been eaten. Also, my girlfriend ordered a mimosa. I know the waitress heard her because she wrote down the order while REPEATING the exact word "MIMOSA." 20 minutes later, no mimosa and no waitress. I had to snag some other guy and get him to bring it. The waitress only checked on us once, and then we had to practically beg for the check so we could get OUT. I will try the screen door again, yes I will. The food, even though it was not what I asked for, was good. I left feeling good about the food, but very, VERY ill-tempered. The waitress was nice, but she just did not get it. New girl, maybe? Train her better. I wish I could say something else nice about this restaurant.
