Our Story

A meeting place of fried & fresh.

Nicole and David Mouton, longtime Portland residents originally from South Louisiana, opened Screen Door Eastside in 2006. What started as one corner restaurant on E Burnside has become a Portland institution — and a second home in the Pearl District.

We pair the warmth and generosity of Southern hospitality with the Pacific Northwest's love of fresh, local, and sustainable ingredients. Our biscuits are scratch-made, our chicken is hand-battered, our cinnamon rolls come out of our own bakery, and every plate is built to be shared.

SIGNATURE

Chicken & Waffles

Buttermilk-battered crispy fried chicken breast with sweet potato waffle and syrup. The reason most people walk through the door.

Five jumbo shrimp in tomato-garlic shrimp sauce with smoky bacon over creamy cheddar grits, two eggs, and a buttermilk biscuit.

HOUSE FAVORITE

Praline Bacon

$10

Smoked bacon caramelized with pecans, brown sugar, and cayenne. Gluten-free, life-changing, and yes — you can also have it on the waffle.

Bananas Foster French Toast

Brioche french toast with rum-flamed caramelized bananas, cinnamon, and whipped cream.

Brunch $16

Carolina Gold Burger

6 oz. St. Helen's beef patty with mustard bbq aioli, house-made onion ring, bacon, and Wisconsin havarti on a potato bun.

"They make what is arguably the best fried chicken I've ever had. Super flaky crust with just the right amount of crunch and the chicken is super tender and juicy."

"We absolutely love this place, it is a Portland must visit. Screen Door brings southern food and service to the PNW. We eat here regularly but also love to hit them up for a special occasion."

"This southerner approves! Many delicious options. Definitely Gulf Coast inspired. You can never go wrong with anything praline or shrimp & grits!"
