Coming from a southern family, I know southern food. Screen Door seems to focus on the heaviest, most grease-laden preparations of just about everything. The amount of breading on the fried chicken seems to be there to disguise the dried out meat underneath. Most of all, the wait, which is either outside in the rain, or crammed into a drafty... More

I don't often care to wait for a prolonged time, but I make an exception for the Screen Door; we have twice waited over an hour for seating for weekend brunch; our wait at dinner on a weeknight was considerably shorter. They can do great egg preparations; my husband is a big fan of eggs benedict, & he has proclaimed... More

Very popular Portland restaurant that I tried with 7 friends. We had to wait to be seated until all of our party arrived, then of course we had to wait for 2 tables to open up next to eachother. We didn't mind, we knew this restaurant was popular so we expected to wait. Once we were seated our server was... More

Oh my god this place. Just the best. We waited for ages, which I normally refuse to do, but it was worth it, and sat at the bar, which I normally don't like, but I liked it this time. The food was just unbelievable. We had pimiento cheese and fried chicken and shrimp and grits and it was all just... More

How fortunate we were to grab a table at the Screen Door! We were so excited to eat at the restaurant with such great reviews on Tripadvisor. This was by far the best dinner we had while in Portland. We lucked out and were seated immediately out on the patio at a picnic table for dinner one evening. The waitress... More

The food is delicious and portions are large, especially the chicken and waffle. Sevice was prompt and friendly. Get there by 8:40 to be sure you can be seated when they open at 9 a.m., the line gets long. More

My husband and I saw a story about the Screen Door on the Food Network and jumped in the car to find out for ourselves if it was really that good. Without a doubt, it was! We had to wait for 45 minutes for a table, and did not mind at all. Although they were packed and extremely busy, the... More

We ate dinner here last Fall and were very impressed. We ordered the special fish of the day, as well as the Low Country Shrimp and Grits. The fish was cooked perfectly and the seasonings were delicious. The shrimp and grits were also great. When you go, be prepared for a long wait. We were told they do not take... More
