Walk-in's always welcome! Screen Door is a restaurant that presents itself as a love letter to the American South and the revival of regional cooking. Each day, the restaurant receives natural, local organic meats and produce from nearby vendors. The inclusion of regional Pacific Northwest ingredients into a menu of dishes developed in the south has created a unique flavor profile in Screen Door's menu.

These include our world-famous fried chicken, Lowcountry shrimp and grits, smoked andouille chicken gumbo and fried okra. Other items, like the house-smoked beef brisket and braised pork shoulder, come straight from the state of Texas.

Every dish was a surprising delight. We ordered the rice table. I wasn’t sure what to expect, and found a feast of delicious and very different foods. The chicken satay redefined that dish for me. The clams with some kind of chewy pork infused croutons was fantastic. The corn fritters were to die for, as was the apple cider donut for dessert. We left both completely stuffed and sure to come back. Our server was lovely and knowledgeable.

We dined in the charming side room where it was very quiet. As usual, the seafood was delicious and inventive, combining interesting ingredients to great effect. We especialy loved the shrimp on glass noodles with cashew samba sauce. Also the grilled uku was done to perfection and was served with several vegetables that were absolutely delicious. Our waiter was attentive but not hovering and the ambience was conducive to conversation. A wonderful evening at what has become my favorite Portland restaurant.
