Screen Door (restaurant)

Screen Door is a popular Southern and soul food restaurant with three locations in Portland, Oregon, in the United States.

"[5] Screen Door's specialty is crispy buttermilk-battered fried chicken, sometimes accompanied with sweet potato waffles.

[6][5][7] The menu also includes biscuits, fried green tomatoes, grits, macaroni and cheese, po' boy, pulled pork, and brisket; weekend brunch features Bananas Foster French toast and biscuits and gravy (sausage or vegetarian).

[1][9] In 2013, the restaurant's head chef Rick Widmayer left after serving for six years, citing "creative differences".

[8] Tom Sietsema of The Washington Post wrote, "If you have time for only one breakfast, make it this convivial Southern charmer, easy to spot due to the inevitable line out the door".
