    Southern Roots Bowl with shrimp
    Emma S.

    So delicious! Really fresh and delicious food- you can tell the ingredients are high quality. Friendly service and really cute atmosphere as well. The only downside was the price- they charge extra for every little add on. The shrimp add on for the bowl was $12 for 3 small shrimp. Regardless, I would totally return and recommend for anyone looking for good brunch or lunch in pearl district!

    When trying Screen Door, remember to COME HUNGRY! The portions are big and will definitely put you into a food coma haha We came on a weekday around 12pm and there was no wait, but it was still pretty busy. We got the country fried steak and the chicken & waffles. Both were very hearty and delicious. We also took lots home as leftover! Would definitely return for another brunch date!

    With less than a 5 minute walk from the Mark Spencer Hotel and good reviews, SD was an easy choice for breakfast. For a Wednesday morning, SD was in full swing. While I had made reservations, there was plenty of space outside when I arrived, but less so when I left. Here's what my buddy and I ordered: Smoked Pork Shoulder Benedict - I liked the smoke on the pork Fried Oysters -fried in cornmeal Chicken Breast - fried in cornmeal Although we liked everything we tried, I'm more inclined to get the breakfast plates next time rather than oysters and chicken. Our server was attentive and efficient.

    Date of visit: May 10, 2026 This was our second attempt to dine at Screen Door and our first success, after we declined a two-hour wait a couple days earlier. Overall it was worth the wait, with a solid menu and a delicious chicken and waffles dish that awaited me. Our server was very nice, an incredibly tall waiter who had a relaxed style about him and a friendly demeanor. The C&W was very good, with a portion that was just right for one person, which was good because I had nowhere to store any leftovers! To be honest, this probably would have been a five-star review had we not sat outside. And while I realize that what happened isn't really the restaurant's fault, the experience and the location are forever intertwined in my memory. You see, Portland has a big homeless population. And that was no more evident than during our dinner where we observed a man drop a deuce in the street and after an interaction with local security, pick it up with his bare hands. Needless to say no one at our table ordered the chocolate peanut butter pie that evening...

    The Plate in Question
    Brenden W.

    My last time at the screen door was their original location about 12 years ago. Amazing experience and I've been looking forward to one day returning one. That day finally arrived, but I truly wish it had not. Actually one of the worst experiences of my life, zero exaggeration, no cap. The crux of it is this - I've had food poisoning from a restaurant before, and it was awful, but unintentional. This. Was. Different. Long story short, I ordered the chicken and biscuits and decided to go with the vegetarian gravy, as it looked absolutely packed with mushrooms. The waiter was pleasant and our food arrived fairly quickly. Everyone's food looked perfect, except there were zero mushrooms on my plate. I asked the waiter whether this was the vegetarian gravy or if there was a mistake. This is where things turned. Instead of taking a small service L, the waiter tells me, no there is no mistake - this is what was ordered - chicken with pork gravy. Completely unprofessional thing to say and the dude's tone had obviously shifted. Waiter rhen stated that he had brought me what I had ordered, but that if I had changed my mind, he would fix it. Service was poor after this interaction. Why was the waiter taking this like a personal attack? I was super kind when addressing the issue, as I know mistakes happen and its really not a big deal, as long as it is corrected without much fuss. For clarity, my spouse and two kids all confirmed that they clearly heard me order the mushroom gravy. If it had been my blunder, I would have probably eaten the pork gravy, but that wasn't what I ordered. Retired came out, it was tasty enough, and even though server was weird, I felt and left a slightly substandard tip of less than 20%. Long story short, a few hours later, I had the worst abdominal discomfort I've had in all my time on earth. I was so discombobulated that I had trouble making it from the bed to the bathroom a few deer away. I spent an hour in the bathroom and im telling you... it was bad. Like, my wife called 911 and paramedics were talking to me through the bathroom door for 15 min before leaving for a bigger emergency. For the record, this is the only time I have been so ill that my partner has called emergency services. The rest of my family was fine, thank God. My teenaged son called the restaurant to let them know how sick I was, but they brushed him off with "food poisoning can't begin that quickly." Guess what? The paramedics said otherwise, and said this sounded like textbook food contamination. So, for the waiter with such a small ego that they will poison someone that politely asks for the correct gravy... I hope that one day, you experience the same pain in kind.

    A brunch place that lived up to its hype. Service was super fast and the indoor decor was beautiful. Chicken and waffle executed to perfection, and French toast so decadent but not too sweet. Also love the beet salad that balances out the richness of the two star dishes.

    Really good food and such a great spot! Our server was really nice & loved the ambiance as well, very inviting. Everything we ordered was delicious, but the praline bacon was definitely the standout for me. Sweet, savory, and absolutely addicting! Definitely a must-try if you're dining at Screen Door.

    I am not generally a fan of Southern food, but this place is good! I am not a huge fan of fried food in general and surprisingly, I did not feel awful, nasty full at the end of this meal. The fried okra is awesome! The flavor & seasoning is there, even without the sauce. I am def a "sauce with absolutely everything" person, and it is so flavorful, I could have done without. This was my first time having catfish. I also am not a fan of grits, but knew that it would be to good to pass up and not give it a try. Everything on the catfish platter was splendid. I adored the biscuit and raspberry jam, might've been the best I have had! The raspberry jam was so good I asked for extra (because seriously, what was I going to do with that little bit provided lol) they end up bringing two more hehe. The biscuit was super soft, buttery and light (also coming from someone that couldn't care less about a biscuit). I also appreciate a biscuit that is NOT flaky! Hold your hate comments lmao! I had this amazing food before going to a wine tasting and let me just say this was the perfect choice before an event as such afterwards. Honorable mention, the chicken and waffles waffle is made with sweet potato. YEAH? It is as good as it sounds!! I think the videos on TikTok on this place, did not do it justice at all. Give it a try!

    Deep-Fried Okra

    Took a short walk here from the Royal Sonesta hotel to have dinner after a long adventurous day out and about in Portland. We decided on outdoor patio seating since the weather was nice & it was generally quieter outside. We were people watching for a bit and noticed that our fellow restaurant goers were waiting for quite a bit, but we weren't in a hurry, so it was fine. When our waiter eventually tended to us, he was incredibly friendly & apologetic, owning up to the delay being on him, but we were cool with it -poor guy was working a double shift. We started off with deep-fried okra, I ordered the fried chicken meal, & hubby ordered the burger. I got to pick the chicken pieces I wanted, so I went with 2 thighs, thinking they'd be smaller pieces, so I could maybe finish my meal. I opted for collard greens as well. The food came relatively quickly and was super-fresh. The fried okra bits were piping hot down to the last bite. They went well with the spicy aioli. We hung onto the aioli so hubby could dip his fries. My meal was so good. The chicken was incredibly tender and flavorful. The batter was just perfect and crisp. Mashed potatoes were smooth and creamy. Gravy was rich and well-seasoned. Collard greens were so tasty. The balance of textures was just perfection. I ended up having to pack up a piece of chicken because it was so much food, but I enjoyed every bite I was able to take of my meal. I appreciated their welcoming vibe & the beautiful pride balloon arch inside the restaurant. I appreciated the friendly service. I appreciated the thoughtfully and expertly made food. It was a perfect way to end my culinary experience for this Portland visit.

    What a treat! We had looked at this restaurant before visiting the city to make sure we worked it into our plans, and it did not disappoint. My friend and I both ordered the fried catfish, which was light, perfectly seasoned, and had just the right amount of crunch. We also tried the cornbread, coleslaw, and grits, and everything tasted great. We grabbed the chocolate peanut butter pie to go, and it was a sweet finish. Our server was attentive, chatted with us about our visit to Portland, and even offered some local recommendations. The restaurant is beautiful and still manages to feel cozy. This will definitely be a go‑to spot whenever I'm back in town.

    Lowcountry Shrimp & Grits
    Sara Y.

    We took friends in town to the screen door and it was excellent! We had been to the location closer to OMSI before but this was our first time at the one in the Pearl District. The chicken was huge and tasty, the sauce on the shrimp and grits was great, the biscuit was delish too, and my son asked for chocolate chips on his kids pancake and they were kind enough to accommodate. They were busy but everyone was friendly and the food was worth the wait

    Fish 'n Grits

    The food was amazing. Me and my partner left ready to nap. The fish was amazing with the sauce and the cheddar grits was sooo smooth. We had a lovely waitress and very pretty atmosphere.

    This place gets busy for weekend brunch, my party of 4 got there at 10:30am and got seated immediately (there were only a few tables left). Sundar street parking is free in certain zones before 1 pm, it was less than a 5 min walk from the restaurant. The waiters have a southern hospitality type of vibe which was nice. Now for the food: Praline bacon: 8/10 sweet and savory, nutty and bacony. It was good but would I pay $12 for 3 strips of bacon again? Probably not. Bananas foster French toast: 10/10 buttery, sweet caramelized bananas, great for dessert or breakfast if you're a sweet breakfast kind of person. Chicken fried steak with sausage gravy: 7/10 there a lot of chewy bits in steak and it was already a very thin cut. Also comes with scrambled eggs and potatoes. Potatoes were the best part since they were seasoned very well. Chicken and biscuit: 8/10 classic chicken and biscuit Shrimp and grits: 7/10 grits felt really heavy to eat and the shrimp was salty. It comes with an egg under the shrimp and a biscuit on the side so that helped dilute the salt a bit

    Ask the Community - Screen Door Pearl District

    How long do walk ins usually wait to be seated on a Sunday morning?

    Depends on when you get there. If you're waiting on line when they open, is t can up to maybe 45 mins to an hour, depending on how many reservations are ahead of you. Or you might get right in if there aren't that many reservations.

    Is this genuine Southern food or some yankee's interpretation of Southern food? I'm concerned because the CFS is not served with cream gravy, and I don't see any collard greens on the menu.

    I would say it's selected item that are traditionally southern made and mostly it is interpreted.

    Do they have homemade cornbread?

    We do have housemade cornbread!

    Is the outdoor area good for a family with kids?

    Yes. It is open on one side so, if the kids are little, you'll need to keep an eye on them.

    Are there any dairy free options?

    Yes

    Are they still requiring proof of vax? Trying to accommodate a large group.

    No!

    Do you use a delivery service?

    You can, I believe, using Caviar, DoorDash, etc

    Do you have any gluten free options?

    Yes they do, but I'm not sure of the range of options. Brisket definitely.

We had a small food mishap, mentioned it, and BAM the manager appeared, apologized, and fixed it immediately. I ordered the vegan steak and yep, I'd get it again. Portions are big enough to share... or not, no judgment.

She was working alongside the staff clearing tables, and walking guests inside all morning! The staff were more than accommodating and the service was remarkable. It felt as though everyone was genuinely happy to help. Food was fantastic and the cinnamon rolls are a MUST. Our waiter (I forgot his name), had a great attitude despite the many moving parts. Below is a photo I shot of Cheryl that I just love and you can feel her vibrance through the lens. Highly recommend. Will be back sometime for dinner service too!

    Holy smokes, Pulled pork shoulder is amazing. It's like if you took a Carnitas Taco and it a…read moresandwich. Just add kimchi and a spicy mayo sauce and there you go. Corn Ribs were very tasty as well. I'd say very inspired by a LA Elote from the elote man. Service was great. Really sold me on getting this combo as it was Their favorites. If you have the time come by and check this out!

    This was an incredible introduction to the Portland food scene, delivering some of the best…read moresandwiches I've ever had. Between the genuinely friendly hospitality and the flavor combinations, this spot hits it out of the park and is a must for sandwich lovers. Griddled Mortadella (5/5): An incredibly delicious sandwich that perfectly balances rich, salty, and savory flavors. It comes loaded with a generous portion of grilled mortadella and melted provolone cheese, perfectly moistened with a tangy mustard aioli. The fresh lettuce and bell peppers added a satisfying crunch to every bite. Chefwich - K-Town Steak Sandwich (5/5): A limited-time creation packed into a banh mi roll. It had a generous portion of perfectly tender and sweet bulgogi steak that pairs with their melted jack cheese. The gochujang mayo sauce had a subtle and sweet heat, while the fresh kimchi added crunch and slight acidity to balance the rich meat. Elote Tater Tots (5/5): Definitely a creative side dish. The tots were perfectly fried and topped elote style with cotija cheese, pairing well with the smoky chipotle mayo on the side. Logistics Tip: Street parking is surprisingly easy to find in the surrounding area, even on a busy weekend evening. The restaurant has a spacious layout with plenty of seating options both inside and outside. If you're a first-timer, don't hesitate to ask the staff for suggestions, as they're exceptionally warm, welcoming, and passionate about the menu.

    I wish we had a pie shop in Seattle like this. deep sea salt and sugar in Seattle is to cake what…read morelaurettas jeans is to pie for those from the Seattle area. But let's talk about their quiche. We got the corn pepper quiche and it was one of the best quiche I have had in awhile. Similar in texture to quiche from Coyles in Seattle but the floor was so good. Pie crust is buttery without being greasy. We also had the tomato dill purse which my partner loved - dill forward but you could taste the used a farmers market tomato. Pie wise we got the ginger plum streusel, whiskey peach and Marionberry. All delicious but Marionberry was the standout. I wish they still have something with rhubarb but the season was already over when we went. We actually went back on our way home to Seattle and picked up the salted honey, tart cherry, and peach streusel. All good. Get there early for the best selection. First time we went at 8 am and no line but line formed after. The way back we went at 6 pm and the selection was slim.

    I came here right after having a big breakfast, so I didn't get many things. Definitely regretted…read morethat after returning to Seattle. Service was nice. This place seemed so popular, like a cute bakery breakfast shop where you can get some sweet treats for brunch with friends on the weekend. My brownie was huge and heavy. But I only had literally two bites and forgot its existence, and left it sitting in the hotel fridge. All I can say is, it was a good brownie, sweet, chocolatey and dense, it didn't disappoint me.
