“We always go to this Screen Door when we are in Portland. The staff are always a delight and this trip was no exception. Davi was charming and friendly and attentive, and all the staff were working hard (always so busy!) There was a teeny, tiny glitch with our order taking a while (we weren't concerned but the staff were so distraught that their efficient system had gone awry, lol!) We appreciated their gesture of discounting our ticket, but didn't think it was necessary. We were having such a good time with Davi and all the staff that the time passed quickly. The food was fantastic (always get the praline bacon!), the people watching superb, and the service stellar. We will be back again (and again and again!)“
“First time here. Everything was delicious! But especially the downtown shrimp and grits. I can't wait to come back and try the uptown version. Our server was wonderful and the entire experience was *chef's kiss *! We live an hour and a half away, but I will make the special trip to come back. What a gem!“
“We made a reservation for our party of 4 for brunch and were seated on time. Our server was super friendly and nice. The restaurant was cute. But we would not return here. The breakfasts we ordered were all just ok. My sister had Migas Tart (vegetarian quiche) with potatoes as a side. I ordered random sides as there was no option for someone who is dairy free. My mom ordered mushroom and butternut scramble. The potatoes were over fried and my biscuit was over baked. Nothing special at all about any of the foods we ordered. We were excited to try it and were disappointed. Even if the ambience is good and the server was excellent, if the food isn’t good enough, we don’t return.“
“I loved every bite of the nacho buffalo chicken Mac and cheese. Every bite was an explosion of flavor. The food wasn’t greasy and the texture the Mac and cheese was amazing. Jose provided excellent customer service and made an amazing plate of food. I plan on stopping by more often and would recommend this place to anyone.“
Soul Food • $
“We have been searching for a restaurant that has food that tastes like home for 2.5 years after moving to Portland from Louisiana. Not only was the food absolutely fantastic, but the owner Andrea made us feel like family and was so friendly. We can’t wait to become regulars!“
“We LOVE this place! The oysters are fresh, the clams are flavorful and everything in between has been great! The staff is knowledgeable about where the oysters come from and what to expect on your flavor pallet. Service is quick and when they are busy, they set proper expectations. The space is rustic but really cool, especially walking off of a city street, it's definitely not what you expect!! We have gone as far as eating here twice in one day!“
“I mean...what can I say that hasn't already been said? Solid food, great service, and located in the Mississippi District! I have been slowly working my way through their menu and have not been disappointed yet. At this point, I doubt I will. Plus, they now serve Boiled Peanuts!!!!!!!!!!!!“
“Wow, delicious JambalayaI appreciated that she asked, when handing me my hefty serving, which sauce I might want. "Sauce?" She pointed to the list posted on the window. Ah! As she started noting which were mild, I jumped in: "What's your hottest?" She handed me a little cup of their fiery pineapple chili sauce. Delicious and a heat that I could control when adding to my dish. Loved the whole experience!“
“Normally Mac n' Cheese is not my go to, but it was nice to try something different and was blown away by how great it tasted. My gf and I wanted to try a little of the cheddar sauce and the Old (creamy garlic) sauce together, Evan said sure thing I can mix them together for you. It was the perfect amount of cheddar and parmesan garlic flavoring, not overpowering, but savory and delicious! The pasta was perfectly done, it was soft and shaped to hold the flavorful sauce. We both loved it, and would recommend trying it.“
Cajun/Creole • $$
“Beautiful place. Great food. I didn’t eat all of my salad and asked for a “to go box”. Not only did they bring me a box, they brought me a made salad, with a side of dressing so I could have a fresh salad tomorrow “not soggy left overs.” Such a small act of kindness will leave a mark forever. My family and I will be back, many times.“
“Outstanding food! The cook is wonderful and helpful about what is gluten free! The portion sizes are very large but you will not want your stop eating them!We were certain we wanted to come here after the ear piercing. So, we had called the night before and found out most of their food is gluten free except the gumbo. My husband is gluten free so I had the Trinity gumbo. He had the red beans and rice. Hands down some of the best we have had! I would recommend to anyone looking for Cajun in PDX. My husband was told about this spot from a coworker and we looked it up. We love Cajun food, so it was a must try. We would go back in a heartbeat.If you have a good allergy, call them and they know all of their ingredients/spices well to aide you. I can’t wait to go back!Dietary restrictions: Very well knowledgeable on the ingredients and allergies associated with their foods. Would recommend to anyone with allergy restrictions to call and ask. They are awesome and hope you can enjoy it!“
“I’ve only ever ordered the crab from here (because it’s my favorite thing!), but I love all the flavors I’ve tried! Garlic butter for the win - it’s delightful! They always package with care as well which I appreciate. Highly recommend if you enjoy boils.“
“I’m visiting from out of state, and want some seafood. Typed in seafood near me and Pacific Boil and lounge piped up. I drove there and was Greeted by a very nice young man behind the counter and he help my pick out the what I wanted and let me tell you I was not disappointed“
