    Étouffée

    Service 10! Cart looks clean 10! Food 10! Would recommend and definitely coming back to try the other dishes. Had the shrimp Étouffée Picked it up on my way home to have for dinner. Service was friendly and quick. Ordered and got my food all in under 10 minutes. Package quickly and neatly in the bag with everything I needed to enjoy my meal. Napkins, spoon, fork, and hot sauce. Very generous portion of Shrimp Étouffée, small container of rice, and small container of sliced baguette. Everything survived my drive home. Really appreciate the heavy duty containers! Étouffée was really delicious with plenty of shrimp for every bite and perfectly cooked fresh vegetables in it. The gravy was really flavorful with a little spicy kick. Rice was done very well. Fluffy and not mushy or overly buttery like I've found anywhere else. So nice to be able to enjoy the rice that I didn't have to make. Baguette slices were good not toasted but perfect fluffy vessel to dip in the sauce. Price was really reasonable too! Can't wait to try the other dishes they offer! We ate everything! Enough food for me and my daughter to share.

    Lucky for me they were testing things, and I got to order the amazing chicken gumbo.

    They were not open yet they were testing the various systems and working the bug's out, but letting customers place orders. I was happy about that I ordered the chicken gumbo , and the owner gaive me a complimentary side dish with corn. The owner and his associates were so nice and smiley even though you'd think they would be very stressed out right now. They are located inside the Core food pods. This is definitely going to be a regular stop for me. This is definitely going to be a regular stop for me. The atmosphere of the whole place is nice and friendly with cool music.

    What an incredible experience! The location is so cozy, with the restaurant itself giving the same…read moresort of vibes. Immaculate atmosphere and the exact sort of thing we were looking for for breakfast. We didn't get her name but saw on the receipt her name might have been Davi, she was such a bundle of light and life, so attentive and kind! She immediately gave us wonderful recommendations which we all adored. The table ordered praline bacon to share (do yourself a favor and get this), one ordered the praline bacon waffle, another ordered the bananas foster waffle, and I got the seasonal vegetable hash. We were all in HEAVEN with what we ordered. From the first bite to the last it we were all absolutely stunned by how delicious and well made everything was. I savored every bite as did my compatriots. One gal ordered a couple things to go for her family (huevos rancheros for the hubby and cinnamon rolls for her kiddos) and our waitress Davi recommended they bring out the cinnamon rolls unfired so that she could pop them in the oven when she got home after a short drive. It was such good attention to detail that felt like such a friendly offer. Absolute superstars, the lot of you. Next time I'm back in Portland I'm absolutely spoiling some friends here with what I can only describe as a transcendent experience.

I know they get busy on weekends but we had no problem making a reservation and being seated promptly indoors. Their indoor space can get quite loud. They do have a covered side patio as well. We ordered some of their classic dishes: chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, banana foster French toast. Everything was absolutely delicious. I did feel some sticker shock at the prices ($17-24 ish) but the portions are quite large. They do have a kids menu as well as a full bar. Customer service was excellent, with a seemingly genuinely friendly server. Though they were busy, it was easy to get assistance as needed. The decor is wonderfully charming. Overall, Screen Door might not be an every-weekend kind of thing, but for an out-of-town visitor, a special occasion, or craving you just can't shake - it's absolutely worth the stop.

The walls are full of bright, colorful artwork that is for sale and made by the resident artist. The uptown shrimp & grits are a must order. They were decadent, rich in flavor, and cheesy. The country boy breakfast was also a delicious option. I enjoyed the creamy and well seasoned gravy that comes on top of it.

However, now that I've been a few times, I notice little details like "why do the hostesses continue to seat people right next to each other?". There are plenty of other open tables that people could be seated at, but it really eliminated our ability to have a connecting conversation, as it felt like we were a party of 6 with us 2 in the middle!!! And 2 of the people clearly had some personal "issues" going on and were very disruptive. The space is small, but the visual displays of all the artwork make it a talking point conversation. The main artist was on hand & we found ourselves with the opportunity to talk with him while we waited on our food (which took a lot longer than expected). Funny, we ordered 1st & ours came out 10 mins later after everyone else. I decided to go with the Chicken and Waffles, and we also had the shrimp and grits. The food hit on all cylinders, and the only thing that was needed next was to make a move for a cocktail and a little walking in downtown to change it up. Will definitely return, but I will be more direct and vocal about seating that's for sure.

The mashed potatoes are one of the best ever in terms of flavor and texture (and I do not play about potatoes). No matter what entree you get, you're in good hands. The parm crusted sole and clam chowder are a couple of my favorites. The decor is warm and gives a history lesson without feeling outdated. I've been multiple times and they make everyday feel like a special occasion. Big shout out to Benjamin who provided attentive service the last time I was in. As someone who's been in the service industry as well, it's truly a delight to meet others who enjoy what they do and are excellent at it. Go to Jake's with your honey, take your family, have a business meeting, or just take yourself on a date. You won't regret it.

I had the Hazelnut Crusted Brie, Raspberry Jam, and Crostini. Talk about a cheesy goey heaven There's also tons of eclectic decor to gander at while you sip on one of their amazing cocktails, I highly recommend the spiced raspberry cooler. Sitting there with my luggage next to me staring out the big windows, made me feel like a protagonist in a French film.
