    Food was Southern "inspired". Oyster appetizer was great! Perfectly fried with great housemade tartar sauce-a remoulade would have been perfect, but they were delicious nonetheless. Red beans and rice and chicken were well cooked but under seasoned. The hamhock was expected to do all of the work in the red beans and rice. The macaroni and cheese was most disappointing. It was a ramekin that tasted like Kraft with a layer of cheese run through the MerryChef. The Pecan Pie with Bourbon whipped cream was delicious but the extra drizzle of syrup unnecessary. Will go back to try brunch sometime.

    Service was excellent, professional and attentive. Food was good I had the platter with alligator sausage which I’d never had before. My friend had the pork sliders which were very good. We both decided next trip to go with our old favorite, fried chicken. Its the BEST.

    First time here and we will be back!! Great location in the pearl, on a Monday and was a great time to go. Pulled pork eggs Benny and chicken and waffles were ordered along with two Bloody Mary’s. All were super good. Service was great, it was a tad noisy in the restaurant, but that is to be expected. Definitely will return to try more things on the menu. The food all around us looked so amazing!!

    We arrived early for our reservation, but they sat us right away regardless, which was very nice of them. Our server was wonderful, and the food (etouffee, beans and rice, hamburger, Mac and cheese) were excellent, and we shared three desserts which were amazing. It was a little loud, but otherwise a great experience.

    For our first time to Portland, we had looked up places to eat and Screen Door was one of the must go options and it didn’t disappoint! The food wasn’t the best but it was very good for southern cuisine. The ambience was what we were looking for and it hit the nail on the head. If we ever come back to Portland, Screen Door will definitely get our business🙏🏽🤙🏾
