A Return To The Screen Door Restaurant

My daughters treated me to a delicious brunch this past weekend for my birthday. They met me at the Screen Door Restaurant and they got there early so MY wait was minimal... another nice gift!

Megan had the Brioche Vanilla Bean French Toast with REAL maple syrup and it was very tasty with a side of bacon. Erin had a very delicious Bananas Foster French Toast with rum flamed carmelized bananas and cinnamon... this was to die for. And I had a wonderful Spicy Cajun Bloody Mary along with my Corned Beef Hash with poached eggs.... And, of course, a side bowl of their cheesy grits... the best grits I've ever had... Also, we had a cheese blintz with strawberry sauce... a piece of heaven... unfortunately the picture didn't turn out.

Everything was perfect!!! And, there is still lots more to explore on their menu on a future visit.

Screen Door Restaurant

This is some of the BEST southern cooking around. I've tried to do brunch before and there is always quite a wait to get seated... but totally worth it. The staff is friendly and attentive. The food is absolutely delicious and worth any wait. This time, we were able to snag an outside table and were seated quickly. We had the Fried Chicken and Waffle - Spicy buttermilk battered fried chicken over a sweet potato waffle is HUGE, perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked and the waffle came with REAL maple syrup ! ! ! The Eggs Sardou - poached eggs over artichoke hearts & creamed spinach, and an English muffin topped w hollandaise was totally delicious and the grits served with it are the best I've ever had. I was also quite delighted with the Cajun Bloody Mary, a bit spicy with spice mix on the rim and garnished with a pickled okra and olive. I encourage you to visit this place and go to the website and see the menu's... I can't wait to go back ! ! !
