Very good authentic German food. I could put their gravy in a cup and drink it with a straw. It is that good.

Had out own personal room for a large group of 10. Food was gourmet and very well presented. A bit pricey for the amount but the taste was superb. Staff was a bit impatient but not rude.(if that's possible) read more

Plantation House is a lovely restaurant in a beautiful old house. It's homey and charming. There's outdoor seating and a large yard with a gazebo. It's perfect for kids needing to burn some energy. They normally serve German food here but I went on Thanksgiving. The Thanksgiving buffet was absolutely delicious. The buffet had a salad bar with green salad, broccoli, three bean salad, cranberry sauce, cucumber salad, and cherry fluff. The main buffet had ham, turkey and gravy, green beans, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, cornbread dressing, corn, macaroni and cheese, turnip greens, cornbread and yeast rolls. The dessert bar had Black Forest cake rolls, blueberry delight, pumpkin crumble, apple pie, and chocolate chip pound cake. The service was friendly and warm. My waitress was very informative and sweet. I will definitely be back to try their usual menu. read more

I ate here for the first time on a Sunday. Buffett style with a lot of choices. Fried chicken and pork was very good. Wide assortment of vegetables including fried okra, cabbage and black eyed peas . Little disappointed they did not have cornbread. Bread pudding was good also. Waitress kept our tea refilled and removed our used plates. We will be back! read more

Small, family run restaurant that knows what they're doing. The food is always FRESH, hot, and absolutely mouthwatering. They have the most amazing and authentic German food on Friday nights. Delicious Sunday country style lunch. Servers are great about helping you and everyone is so friendly. The house itself is gorgeous and always beautifully decorated. Go to eat, you won't regret it! read more

Excellent authentic Deutsch cuisine, delightful atmosphere: family-style restaurant and grounds (with gardens for kids to enjoy while adults visit!) with top-notch service.

Great food and service. Hoping they get back to open 5-6 days a week. Quiet environment. read more

Cute restaurant loved the food and deserts where so good! We will be going back in a few weeks for the Marti Gras night!

My husband and I had a wonderful meal at their German buffet night! (Every Friday, menu changes, so check their Facebook page) Service was amazing and the food hit the spot! If you are looking for well cooked German comfort food, look no further. Charming, comfortable atmosphere and lots of German beers to try. The cider with strawberry and lime flavors was fun for Spring. read more

We loved our visit. We loved their health rating. We loved the food, freshness of the salad bar and selections on desert bar. Will return.

Disappponted in the meat selection for the Sunday buffet price. They only had fried chicken and lasagna, if you consider lasagna a meat. The dessert selection was also slim. read more

This is a good clean well decorated place to eat. Feels like eating at home, at least if you're southern and used to vegetables, fried chicken, and homemade dessert. German night is on Friday, during the week give a call to get a description of what's on the bar, as it may change from week to week. The owner is authentically German, and in October there is usually beer served over the period of a week or two, those are only times alchohol is served at this location. Although you are allowed to bring your own beer on site. read more

Plantation House - German Decoration - Southern Near Me - Millbrook, Alabama

I really wanted this to be a good German meal but for me it was not. I spent five years in Germany eating German food from Kaiserslautern to Garmisch to Berchtesgaden; not saying I'm an expert but I have had some German food. This review is on the Friday night German buffet. The meats were fried fish, Schnitzel and sausage with sauerkraut. The fish and Schnitzel batter tasted the same; no seasoning and over cooked. The mushroom gravy was watery and again no seasoning. The sausage was good but over cooked. The sides were roasted Brussels sprouts-good, pineapple casserole-good, red cabbage-good, macaroni and cheese, corn, peas with carrots-ok, stewed tomatoes. The pretzel bread was good. The desserts were served cold and were ok. The total price for two with drinks was $28...a little pricey. If you really want to eat some German food drive up to Huntsville. read more

We ate on Friday night as there was German cuisine on that night. There were four adults and by and large we were not impressed. There is the standard salad bar and it had a brocolli salad that was passable. The entrees were less than adequate. I ate the sausages and kraut. There were two types of sausage, with one cooked with the kraut, the other not. Both were good, but nothing to impress me enough to want to come back. The three other diners ate the weinerschnitzle. All three stated first thing that it was over cooked, dry and chewy. There were sides of Brussels sprouts and beets. I tried both and found them to be so-so. I would have liked German potato salad, but the remaining sides were heavy on American fare, such as mac and cheese. Desserts were weak, at best. I was surprised that it was a "German" restaurant, with plenty of decorations relating back to Germany, to include a full wall of beer steins, yet they served no beer. 2/5 - will not eat there again. read more

Fried chicken was delicious the morning we went. family friendly and sides were tasty too

4 stars for being a German restaurant in the middle of Alabama. Only been twice - first time the German buffet gad an impressive selection (during Oktoberfest) although it was low end quality. Went back a few weeks ago and we were disappointed there was only half the selection. Server was nice. read more

Yum!!! Friday night and good German food, just doesn't get any better. Friday nights are when they serve a German all you can eat buffet. The other nights are southern food. The staff is really nice and the prices are very reasonable. Being a Sweet Tea Connoisseur, their sweet tea passes the test. The schnitzel is really good, and the mushroom sauce is delightful. read more

I have been to the Plantation House for German Buffet at least 4 times, so far. It has been plentiful and tasty every time. The schnitzel was tender and I really dig the mushroom gravy that is available to pour over it. I loathe traditional Southern style banana pudding, but I admit that I do love Chef Renata's banana mousse. The service is friendly and it seems that as soon as I finish a plate/bowl, it is whisked away quickly. The whole experience reminds me of my time in the USArmy while stationed in Bavaria. I recommend it... especially when hungry. I just wish I had room for more. read more

An excellent place to stop in and have Sunday lunch. We really enjoyed the food. The chicken was tender, the cabbage cooked well, and the sweet corn casserole was amazing read more

My husband and I were visiting from Virginia and didn't know exactly what to be expect as we googled for nearby restaurants near prattville AL. But you talk about a pleasant surprise. The food was delicious--especially the pineapple casserol--scrumptious. And the service was royal. That Emily is a jewel. Will be our spot whenever we return to the area. loved it. read more

Love this place! Brunch buffet has unique combinations and the atmosphere is nice and down home. I have heard great things about the German Food also. read more

Best food in the area. If you like southern food it doesn't get any better than the Plantation House. Large selection of salad and side dishes. Great desserts. All fr one price. Highly recommend. read more

The food was not good. The fried chicken had no seasoning. When I walked into the restaurant the workers did not speak when we entered the restaurant. There was an older lady that was talking to one of the staff unprofessionally and loudly. The restaurant could use some cleaning. I went there with friends because we did not feel like driving to Wetumpka . The atmosphere was not inviting and the food certainly was not good. read more

Staff was very nice and helpful, food was exquisite and the restaurant as a whole gave off a warm southern vibe, will definitely be back for more read more

This is going to be short and to the point. Service is great! Food is okay. The salad bar lettuce was brown and wilted. The spaghetti was obviously a few days old. Overall the place is kinda cool, service is great but will probably not go back. It's too bad cause we really wanted to like it. It's a toss up but I recommend going elsewhere unless you just have to have German food immediately and wish to stay in Millbrook. read more

My family stopped here for Sunday lunch as we were traveling and it was delicious! The buffet is about $11 for adults and half price for kids. The staff is very friendly. We enjoyed the fried chicken, fish, hush puppies, corn, potatoes, beans, cabbage, broccoli casserole and rolls. There is also a salad bar and a dessert case. The kids ran off their energy in the garden/yard behind the place. Highly recommend! read more

We have eaten here several times. the food is very reasonably priced(about $11 for a buffet).the cook/owner is very hospitable. The most important thing is the food is good. Small selection but what it lacks in quantity it make up in quality. The German Buffet is great! read more

The schnitzel and the chicken dish were very good. The wait staff was friendly. The dessert selection was lacking.

My family and I ate there for the Sunday buffet they offer, which I will say we all enjoyed, the food was well prepared. The disappointment came once we went to pay for our meals and noticed some interesting wall art hanging on the wall. The art displayed was different depictions of slavery, such as black people working in the fields while the white man looked on portraying the "master". There were several pictures that suggested poking fun of those times, and as a young, black,female that lives in the Millbrook community I was really disappointed to see those hanging up and found it to be in a poor taste. My family and I are very proud of our heritage and as paying customers ,as well as, people on staff that are black my hope is that consideration for that time in history not be represented with those pictures and can be replaced with pictures that are not degrading. read more

Could be worse. Could be a lot better. Great service. Below average food. Like grandma used to make for the few items not previously frozen or premade. read more

First I'm not giving this place a one star rating as I actually left because the food looked so awful. Having lived in Germany, I was excited when my wife offered up a German restaurant that I didn't know about in the area. Well, since there website is just a single page with an old picture and there is also no information nor menu on their FB page, so I did not know what I was in for. I had anticipated being able to have a sit-down dinner and order from a menu of various German specialties. I couldn't have been more wrong. First off, I gagged and almost vomited from the smell of the garbage (grease pit kind of smell) as we walked across the short parking lot. Then when we walked up, and then around to the back side where the entrance actually is, the place seemed cluttered and messy. The German kitschy decor was cute, but it was hard to determine the dining tables from the employee break tables. We were then told that that night, a Thursday, was spaghetti night. German spaghetti? Not what I had planned on, and again had no clue from their website nor FB page that this "German restaurant" only had German food on Friday nights. Also, This is not an 'order off menu restaurant', but a small buffet restaurant. Fortunately my wife asked if we could look at the buffet before being seated. So glad we did! There was plain spaghetti, some simple meat sauce, a ziti-type noodle casserole(?) and maybe two vegetables. On the other short bar was a sad looking salad bar. This set-up actually reminded me of a middle school cafeteria, both in selection and quality, as the food was not readily identifiable and the area was dirty and unkept. I really wanted to try their German food, but after this experience, I'm really afraid to go back, and the food will never taste right as that out front stench will always remain in the back of my throat for this place. read more

Friday nite German Buffet is a wonderful mix of German classic dishes with great Southern cuisine. Schnitzel and knodel are tastey.

Absolutely love this place. Friday nights is German buffet and it is authentic German food cooked right. Love the owner, she is a sweet lady and hard working. There are also a few Southern dishes on the Friday night German buffet, so you'll be sure to see that too. The service is great with friendly customer service. Love it love it. read more

The German buffet is amazing! Basically the place is amazing! The atmosphere makes it feel like a old country restaurant and the friendliness of the staff makes you feel like your right at home. read more

I really enjoy the Friday night German buffet. I have been multiple times and taken friends and family when they come to visit. Here's the catch - I'm a vegetarian, but I never have trouble with options. My husband loves the schnitzel and sausages and the people I have taken have all loved it. My only "complaint" is that the website and FB page are not kept up to date, so finding info can be tricky. They will also close for vacations with no other notice than a note on the door, so after you drive all the way out to Millbrook you discover that they are all gone. I'm all for family vacations, but post it on FB please. Overall though, this is one of my favorite places and I'll support when I can. read more
