    Overcooked stringy meat.  Skin on thigh was thick and chewy.
    Pamela L.

    Overcooked chicken with a weirdly cooked coating. There was a pocket of air between the chicken and the skin. I pick dark meat because it's normally juicier. When the chicken came out, it was room temperature. It may be because the dining room was incredibly cold. The staff were nice . Not very informative after I identified myself as someone who had never been here before. The roll was very good. I didn't know you had to order honey at an extra charge. The baked beans were good.

    Quick, friendly service and same great taste. I know exactly what I'm getting at Ezells, food and service are similar in all their spots. Chicken is flavorful, juicy, and had the perfect bite. Paired with M&C, slaw, and beans ... yum! Had enough for left overs (easy dinner)! We went for an early lunch and it was not busy. In a parking lot of Washington Square mall (or very nearby) with lots of parking.

    Four piece dark chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, coleslaw, and two dinner rolls
    Jerry P.

    I came in here for lunch today and had a four piece dark meal. It came with coleslaw, mashed potatoes and two dinner rolls. The ticket was decent. I'm not a fan of the coding and skin being so hard but I can see that is probably just a preference. The chicken itself was very good. The mashed potatoes and gravy awesome! Very flavorful gravy. The coleslaw had a slight bite to it, which I really enjoyed very refreshing. I'll definitely come back again if I'm in the area.

    Love Ezell's recipe and have good experiences here in the past (food, ambiance, and service). This visit we were immediately greeted by a sewage smell when we walked through the door to order which was unpleasant and not particularly appetizing. Food was pretty good as usual but as a true Southerner myself, it's very unusual to not have fresh brewed iced tea available with your fried chicken and fried okra. They offer some generic bottled tea that is mediocre at best and nothing close to fresh brewed iced tea. Definitely something that needs to be rectified by management (along with the sewage smell).

    3.5 stars for dinner set. 4 pieces dark meat chickens with mashed potatoes 2 dinner rolls and bake bean side dishes. Chicken is crispy lightly seasoned. Right amount of saltiness. We had 2 original and 2 spicy chickens. Baked bean is nice and in a sweet side. Mashed potato with gravy is nice but not wow. Dinner roll was just ok. There is Ko sauce comes with this set. If you want a sauce, they charade 0.60 each.

    Fried Chicken, roll, coleslaw
    Alex K.

    I've been wanting to try this place for awhile and just recently drive by on a rainy Sunday afternoon as I rarely go shopping at Washington Square these days. I ended up ordering the Fried Chicken combo with coleslaw and not pictured was a side of Mac and cheese. The staff could recognize that I wasn't familiar with the menu and suggested I try the regular and spicy fried chicken. I like spicy food but not so hot like some of the hot chicken I've had in the past. I also wanted to try the sides. I typically get coleslaw and occasionally get mac and cheese, so I stuck with that. It comes with a roll as well. The staff was very nice for helping to make suggestions for me. So I wasn't sure which was the spicy and which was the regular. I think I eventually landed on the left one in the pic being the spicy but the difference was so subtle that I just wonder if they messed up my order? The spicy level at popular fast food joints was way more noticeable so I was perplexed. The chicken was juicy and taste great but my only complaint was that spicy was not even the least bit spicy. Next I tried the coleslaw and the mac sides. The coleslaw was delicious. I could eat it up all day long, but the mac was dried out and lukewarm. Almost like it had been sitting out all day near by a heat lamp. I was disappointed. Finally I tried the roll. It looked good but was also cold. I realized why. Behind the order counter was a stack of of several trays of rolls just sitting there. I guess they batch cook too many of them so they don't have to deal with it later? The roll didn't come with any butter or honey so we got up and asked for some. The price of the meal is actually pretty reasonable considering how the cost of everything has gone up. Overall, I found the experience just average.

Immaculate atmosphere and the exact sort of thing we were looking for for breakfast. We didn't get her name but saw on the receipt her name might have been Davi, she was such a bundle of light and life, so attentive and kind! She immediately gave us wonderful recommendations which we all adored. The table ordered praline bacon to share (do yourself a favor and get this), one ordered the praline bacon waffle, another ordered the bananas foster waffle, and I got the seasonal vegetable hash. We were all in HEAVEN with what we ordered. From the first bite to the last it we were all absolutely stunned by how delicious and well made everything was. I savored every bite as did my compatriots. One gal ordered a couple things to go for her family (huevos rancheros for the hubby and cinnamon rolls for her kiddos) and our waitress Davi recommended they bring out the cinnamon rolls unfired so that she could pop them in the oven when she got home after a short drive. It was such good attention to detail that felt like such a friendly offer. Absolute superstars, the lot of you. Next time I'm back in Portland I'm absolutely spoiling some friends here with what I can only describe as a transcendent experience.

As i approached the building, I noticed that it was full of people. I fell into the street. I was in and out of consciousness. My heart was racing at the thought that I drove 15 hours and could not get a seat at SCREEN DOOR. As I walked into the building a humble man greeted me. He told me that they would clean off a table for me. WOO HOO. I bursted out crying at the thought that I finally got my seat. As I sat down a soft chair graced my bottom. Beautiful. I looked around and the scenery was beautiful. As I looked at the menu, my eyes sharply turned to the chicken and waffles. Deliciously perfect choice. I ordered my food and got a coffee. My chicken and waffles arrived and I took a bite. I started floating. My soul left my body. I looked down at my body as I floating away, I was enjoying every bite. I reached the heavens. A loud voice said "Its not your time yet. Return and enjoy the rest of your meal." I ascend back to the chair and every chicken and every waffle was gone. The servers were SO kind. I got my check and shead a tear, knowing that was the best meal of my life. Over all from kind servers to and delicious food, SCREEN DOOR was an awesome experience. SCREEN DOOR deserves a 5 star, however I am going to give it a 5 star. I loved every moment. Thank for read my review. Love you.

However, now that I've been a few times, I notice little details like "why do the hostesses continue to seat people right next to each other?". There are plenty of other open tables that people could be seated at, but it really eliminated our ability to have a connecting conversation, as it felt like we were a party of 6 with us 2 in the middle!!! And 2 of the people clearly had some personal "issues" going on and were very disruptive. The space is small, but the visual displays of all the artwork make it a talking point conversation. The main artist was on hand & we found ourselves with the opportunity to talk with him while we waited on our food (which took a lot longer than expected). Funny, we ordered 1st & ours came out 10 mins later after everyone else. I decided to go with the Chicken and Waffles, and we also had the shrimp and grits. The food hit on all cylinders, and the only thing that was needed next was to make a move for a cocktail and a little walking in downtown to change it up. Will definitely return, but I will be more direct and vocal about seating that's for sure.
