Northeast Portland

About the restaurant

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. Many of Screen Doors dishes draw their inspiration from Louisiana and the Cajun cooking that's found there. 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. The rest of the South is well represented as well with a Carolina pulled pork sandwich, chicken and waffles, crispy fried oysters and a pimiento cheese & sausage biscuit sandwich with a fried egg and cheddar grits.

10/10 comfort food. We got the fried chicken dinner and the screen door plate. Was the perfect amount of food for 2 people. Would definitely come back here and we want to try their breakfast!

Astoria

About the restaurant

Open Table Reservations are for the Upstairs Pizzeria where our pizza menu is available.
Our downstairs space is separate and is first-come, first-served. Our pub menu is available downstairs only.

Fort George opened its doors to Astoria as both a brewery and a public house, and that desire to serve the community continues to this day. The brewers and pub staff here share a common goal, to create a welcoming space where anyone in town can pull up a stool and enjoy a pint and a bite to eat. We take pride in our house-made offerings and our hospitality, and we’re always looking for improvements that bring us one step closer to perfection. It’s a goal Sisyphus could appreciate, even if he doesn’t have as much fun pushing that rock as we do rolling those kegs. And that’s why we like to call Fort George beer the best beer you’ve had today. Tomorrow it will only be better.

My wife and I had dinner last Friday. Food and services were excellent. The waitress was very professional and attentive. We ordered Gamberetti in Brodo (Tiger Prawn) and Garlic Bread. Both were excellent. My wife had a Caprese salad and I ordered Veal Parmigiana for our main courses. They served generous portions and the dishes were beautifully decorated. My veal parmigiana came with a lot of seasonal vegetables. We had coffee and Spumoni for dessert. Our dinner was delicious. The dining rooms are beautifully decorated. We left just before the restaurant closed for the day and I forgot to take my credit card. When we returned the next day to pick up my credit card, The staff was very helpful. The host at the front desk asked me a couple of questions for verification, then they took us to the bar where the bartender handed me my credit card that he had kept it overnight in his locked cashier. We are very pleased with their professionalism and courtesy. We will be back. Thank you!

Overall we had a nice time the food was good as a whole. The service was good. My only real complaint was that the “table side guacamole” was not made table side, and so it was not made how we would have ordered it. Since we wouldn’t have done it with the spice level it was deleted at. If you’re going to sell something as table side experience at a higher price then do it.
