    Lemon Ricotta Pancakes Combo ($14) + Bacon Maple Butter French Toast Roll-up ($2.50)
    Katherine C.

    The lemon ricotta pancakes are delicious and fluffy, and their French toast roll-ups are amazing as well. The prices are reasonable, and they offer combos that are good value and right amount of food to fill you up. FYI, the lemon ricotta pancakes take a while for them to make so sit at a table and get comfy for 15-20minutes. There are other food trucks in the area too, although in the morning only the coffee food truck is open when they are. Seating is outside at picnic tables. Free Street Parking

    Bacon, Egg, + Cheese Sando and 1+1
    Jenny G.

    We were super impressed with the breakfast we ate here. 1+1: The pancakes were eggy, fluffy, and spongy. They were sweet but not overbearing - great balance! - Nutella Stuffed: Loved the sweetened condensed milk in place of syrup. Great take on a traditional pancake. - Lemon Ricotta: Melted in the mouth. Spongier than the Nutella pancake. The lemon flavor came from the syrup. Bacon, Egg, + Cheese Sando: Very well seasoned. The eggs were fluffy, and the bread was buttery. The components of the sandwich were perfectly balanced.

    Breakfast burrito with bacon, no cheese
    Zach K.

    Solid breakfast burrito, well layered, and a good size. Love the bell pepper onion mix and grilled tortilla. Best of all it's open at 7:30am(when you actually NEED a breakfast burrito). Great location right at the front of The Heist.

    Open faced sando

    So my gym is right next door and I've been coming to the Rose City Food Park for quite some time. Rocket Breakfast is one of the newer carts that has made its way over here. Carts come and go and I'm hoping this one will be here for awhile. I have eaten breakfast a handful of times here at Rocket Breakfast. Breakfast wraps, open faced breakfast sando, French toast roll-ups. I'm slowly making my way around the menu. There has not been one bad item thus far. It's kind of nice to finish my workout in the morning and just ramble over next door for a beverage from J. Vein Caffe (another cart) and a nice hearty breakfast wrap filled with eggs, bacon and cheese, plus jalapeños. It makes the morning that much better and their prices are right. And by pretty much all the other reviews, I'm certainly not wrong in this assessment. These guys know what they are doing and it's a great little spot up on Sandy to come visit in the AM. Enjoy. Support local.

    Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

    We just stopped in for lunch when driving through to our destination. There are quite a few trucks at this spot, but only a few were open today (Sunday). I chose the combo plate, lemon ricotta pancakes with eggs and bacon. The hubby opted for a breakfast burrito with bacon. The service was friendly, decently swift since they seemed busy. I looove lemon, but for me the ricotta topping was just too sweet. It was tasty, don't get me wrong, but for this gal dipping my cakes in it tasted more like a very sweet cupcake instead of pancakes. We ran back over to get some maple syrup instead. The eggs were good, although very thin and lacking a bit of flavor. The bacon was cooked to perfection. My husband enjoyed his burrito, fairly average in flavor and size. Overall the food was good, certainly cooked well, an average meal for us.

    Egg and Cheese Quesadilla
    Myla M.

    Love this place. The breakfast burrito and quesadilla was so good. I got sausage and black bean burrito with hot sauce. And bacon quesadilla with black beans. I like that they open right when I'm getting off from work so I can grab something on the way home on the days when I feel like it. The staff is friendly and pretty quick. I just do wish they get better online ordering system. I ordered sausage burrito with black beans but they just made a black bean burrito. I think cause in person sausage and beans would be two separate add ons but in the website they make it seem like the burrito is sausage so I thought I just had to add on the beans. This was my third time going here and that was the first time I had a problem and also didn't like the burrito idk if it was the lack of sausage or what but the burrito was too wet and not as flavorful as first time I had a burrito from there. Overall I do love this place.

    Cool little spot surrounded by other food trucks. It was really slow when we went so the wait was only about 10 minutes. I was really excited to try this place as I'm especially fond of food trucks. I was a little disappointed when we got here and saw how limited the menu is. Nothing really jumped out at me but I decided to try the breakfast wrap. My partner ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes. The pancakes were decent enough and the lemon sauce on the side was good but underwhelming. The wrap seemed to lack any seasoning at all. The ingredients were good and it was a decent size but it didn't have any real flavor. Even with the local hot sauce it was just okay. Not bad- just okay. A few simple tweaks in their recipes and I think there's a lot of potential. Not something I would go out of my way to eat again.

    Burrito
    Tricia S.

    Was the only food cart open when we stopped by and we all got something. Service was quick and friendly. Breakfast sandwich was delish - bacon, egg, cheese on toasted bread. Filling and more than enough. Burrito - good sized, fresh ingredients. Roll up - convenient breakfast food! Maple bacon rolled inside flattened bread and fried, sprinkled with powdered sugar Stop on by!

    Case Idea. LOL!!

My co-worker mentioned wanting some "creole, southern cooking" so I did some more Yelp'ing of course, revealing yet another bookmark, Screen Door! Here's how it went. Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right on Couch St. in the Pearl District is this gem. The outside isn't much to look at, it's straightforward and modern. The restaurant is set on the corner and is adorned with yellow touches with a decent-sized outdoor section. Once inside it feels like a nice old-school mansion set right out of the bayous of New Orleans. Lots of low yellow lighting, woods and bright tiles decorate the bar as well as the seating areas. It's one big open seating area with the bar off to the right. I loved the open concept. It was busy, but wasn't terribly loud. I also LOVED how this place loudly and proudly welcomed LGBTQ+ community with a rainbow of balloons as well as artwork! Service: I can't remember who took care of us, but we had no issues here whatsoever. Food: The drinks were strong, colorful and delightful. Being based on southern cooking I had to try the classing New Orleans Hurricane and Sazerac! The Hurricane was huge, delicious and of course, strong. The Sazerac was practically perfect. First up I checked out the Hush Puppies which are cornmeal fritters w/ pepper jelly. These were delicious, hot, fresh and the pepper jelly had an EXCELLENT spice to it! Next up were the Crispy Fried Oysters which are cooked then crusted with cornmeal, bacon, other seasonings and served with toast points. These were delicious and literally made me forget I was eating oysters. Next up I tried the fried chicken that came with buttermilk-battered, crispy fried boneless chicken breast & thigh w/ buttery mashed potatoes, tasso ham gravy and collard greens. Absolutely fantastic. Chicken was crispy, juicy, tender and well-seasoned. The mashed potatoes were also moist and left my mouth watering after each bite. Collard greens were fresh and everything I wanted them to be. I also got the chance to try the Chicken & Waffles which comes with 1, 2 or 3 pieces of chicken depending on how hungry you are, a sweet potato waffle and of course syrup while everything is dusted with powdered sugar. Fantastic. The savory and the sweet just balanced themselves so well. My co-worked also let me try his macaroni & cheese which was damn good. Baked so it had that layer of crispy cheese across the top and was so cheesy, so gooey underneath. Value: Macaroni & Cheese Side = $7.00 Don't Tell Me What to Do! (Drink) = $13.00 Original Sazerac (Drink) = $15.00 Baked Oysters = $12.00 Chicken & Waffles (3-Pieces) = $29.00 Fried Chicken Dinner = $27.00 It's not fine-dining pricing, but it's not cheap either. The food and the ambiance are absolutely worth the price point. The quality speaks for itself. In conclusion, I LOVED it here at Screen Door. It's worthy of its great rating, stellar reputation and pricing. I am excited to pay this place a visit again in the future when I make it back here.

It had a small kick but was really nice and worked really well with the dish. The potatoes were one of the best I've had and seasoned so well. The chicken & waffles were also super great but a little heavy! We really liked the sweet potato waffles as it brought a unique cozy flavor and paired well with the chicken. We were really surprised that the chicken breast was moist and fried really well. The batter wasn't heavy and 1 piece was more than enough for 2 people. Definitely come with hungry stomach ready to eat!! Portions are massive and priced reasonably for the amount of food!

I love fish so I expected to love the chicken fried trout but it was just alright compared to the other dishes. The Paris brest was excellent.

The fresh lettuce and bell peppers added a satisfying crunch to every bite. Chefwich - K-Town Steak Sandwich (5/5): A limited-time creation packed into a banh mi roll.
