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🙏🏽🤙🏾

We went to Screen Door for their Mardi Gras celebration. I think we expected it to be a little more lively but it was still an enjoyable night out. The crawfish étouffée was delicious. My husband enjoyed the king cake and pecan ice cream for dessert. I didn’t have dessert but I did have a Hurricane (the drink of New Orleans), it was very good.
