Screen Door

Classic southern dishes prepared with fresh / local ingredients

  • Dinner / Tuesday - Sunday
  • Brunch / Saturday & Sunday

Screen Door presents a celebration of southern cuisine as experienced by southern natives from the quintessential hearty fare to the everyday food gathered from the garden.

The central concept is making use of the similar rich bounty of local fresh produce found here in the Northwest that is sometimes taken for granted in the south.

Screen Door serves local and organic produce and meats everyday and fosters the concept of maintaining the connection between farm and plate.

Editorial Review for Screen Door – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
A casual corner spot on East Burnside, the minimalist interior decor of this eatery features bright jars of pickled vegetables and giant slats of hardwood on the walls. Neighborhood diners pack the place, seeking soulful Southern cooking like baked beans brimming with ham, crispy buttermilk-fried chicken and oyster po'boy sandwiches. Notable desserts include the Charleston fried peach pie a la mode.

User Reviews for Screen Door

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

The best breakfast spot ever. I am vegan and my hubby is a meat eater and there were many choices for both of us. I had a wonderful hash of potatoes and vegetables with the option for tofu or cheese if you wanted it. They also had a great option of pure maple syrup to go with their platter sized pancakes. There were many specials that change every weekend so you will never get bored. I could see it becoming my Sunday spot. Also, my husband is a self proclaimed coffee snob and he thought their coffee was wonderful. I think any breakfast craving you may have will be satisfied by something on the menu. Thumbs up all the way around !

Pros: Tasty, fresh and healthy options

Cons: May be a wait but it's worth it

Every time I come here I'm always happy I did. Their fried green tomato BLT is beyond description, and the menu is so large that no matter who I bring they can always find something they like. Nice decor and friendly atmosphere.

Pros: Food, Ambience

Cons: Sometimes the servers are swamped, long lines
