Best Thai in the town! My husband and I are recently vegan and have enjoyed their dishes with meat in the past. Good news is that we still can eat there and love their pad thai with glass noodles, their drunken noodles, and their curry. Service is always on point and very friendly.

Pulled into the complimentary valet on a drizzly Saturday night and we were sat at our reservation time. The space is built out in a homey- kitch design in an old house. Our server was exceptional. She knew her menu and anticipated our wants. The entire staff seemed happy. The two of us ordered the price fixed meal. I ordered the fried chicken while my partner had the steak. The fried chicken is right up there with Collonade and Mary Macs.The appetizer of deviled ham tea sandwiches was very good and the vegetable sides were fresh and cooked perfectly. The collards were superbly al dente. Deserts were true delicacies. Tush Review----- 1 cheek ( think uncomfortable wooden school chairs)

it pains my heart to give this place 2 stars, but i have to... here is why: the good stuff: food is cheap and pretty darn incredible for the price. never tried anything i didn't like. also, the margaritas are BOMBBB!! i'm not a lightweight, but 2 of these puppies got me smashed! the bad stuff: i've been to Border a bunch of times. it seems like it's gotten really run down over the year. last time i went there was water dripping from the pipe in the ceiling into my chips and salsa (no shame, i still ate them, because they were delicious). The tables are wobbly, the service is sporadic. the parking suckssss. that lot across the street is always packed and the guys that work there have the nerve to yell at you. there is no parking anywhere else around. the bar area is not a real bar area. as you are walking up, about 5 people will dump their drinks on you as they are coming down the steps there. bottom line, if you're down for a dive-y mexican experience, go to border, get hammered and get the chicken fajitas (and the gumbo). if you're trying to grab a nicer meal, better luck elsewhere

What a great wine bar in the SE! The service in here is solid and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about their wines. I didn't explore too much of their menu, but the Roasted Delicata Squah was on point!

I've been to Screen Door several times and have never been disappointed. They have good old fashioned comfort food and a friendly staff as well that knows how to take care of their patrons. The last time we ate there the host brought me a cocktail while we waited to be seated.

I love boba tea so was excited to come in today with some friends and give this place a go! I ordered a hazelnut Thai milk tea with boba and waited for my order. A hazelnut Thai milk tea was called about five minutes after I paid and no one else appeared to be waiting so I grabbed it thinking it was mine. I took a drink and first noticed that it tasted like hazelnut coffeemate and not tea at all but figured I'd deal with it. Then I noticed there was no boba. My friend was finishing up placing his order and I politely told the cashier I had ordered my drink with boba. She told me boba cost extra and I said I had paid for it. The drink was $4.50 and the boba was an additional $0.50 and I had handed her $5 cash. She told me she must have handed me $.50 back and I said no, she did not. She then took my drink and asked someone to put boba into it. This happened right away and I was handed back my complete drink. The cashier went back to helping customers so I sat down with my friends at a table near the counter. As I was sitting there I noticed some other guests having issues with what they ordered, such as items not being heated up as requested. About ten minutes after I sat down I heard another hazelnut Thai tea with boba be called and heard a child go up to the counter to grab it and say she didn't want boba. Now I see I grabbed the wrong one on accident. I was about to turn around and apologize for the mistake and before I could the cashier told the girl "A lady stole your drink so I guess we will make the right one for you." Okay, I didn't steal it, I accidentally took the wrong one. There's no order numbers or names associated with orders so it's an easy mistake to make. During the rest of my time there, I heard the cashier talk to her coworkers about me on three different occasions. Saying I "walked out before resolving the issue", "can you believe that lady that was here that didn't get the right drink?", among other things that weren't nice or professional. I was pretty angry sitting there and the rest of the restaurant could hear this employee and were exchanging glances at this point. On top of that, all the other tables had small children that could hear the hostility coming from this employee's mouth. After all of this, I tried to forget about it and enjoy my time. Not long after hearing hostile words about me being spewed around the kitchen, another employee called out two smoothies that no one claimed (we think they duplicated my friend's order) and after a few minutes of no one claiming it he grabbed the drinks and harshly exclaimed "well I guess no one wants these then!" and threw the drinks with anger and force into the trashcan. I will not be returning to an establishment with such hostile employees that demonstrated numerous counts of disorganization, unprofessionalism and horrendous customer service. On top of everything I previously listed, my friends waited 25 minutes for their smoothie and toast. With one family and one couple ahead of us and at least four employees working, it shouldn't have taken this long to produce people's orders.
