We ordered the queens tea for 3. It consisted of a quiche and a small salad as the first course followed by a 3-tiered tray filled with scones that were still warm (2 per person) with lemon curd and clotted cream, assorted finger sandwiches and desserts. There are so many teas to choose from, there is something for everyone. The service was quick and accommodating with frequent check-ins. The Ambiance is very cute and quaint and very fitting for the historic structure that the home is. The owner showed us around and let us have a peek in their beautiful kitchen and dining room that is for overnight guests. Really wonderful place. Would love to come back. Parking could get tricky but street parking is allowed. read more

Smith-Byrd House - The Queens Tea for tree - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Prattville, Alabama

See all

More than a teahouse... it's a teahome. The finger sandwiches are scrumptious, but you'll be coming back for the scones. The scone selection rotates with the season, but all are delicious, so be sure to visit year-round. The owners are passionate about tea. This is not just a business for them, it is their joy. I hope you can find time in your schedule to visit and be sure to call to reserve your tea-time. read more

Very nice place with vast selection and tasty foods to complement the teas. Our family (usually the women but this time the men too) visit almost monthly. read more

Smith-Byrd House - a woman and a girl sitting at a table - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Prattville, Alabama

Charming Victorian home with 2 separate tea rooms. Is also a bed and breakfast and includes a gift shop. Large variety of tea and yummy food. The owners are super friendly and obviously love what they do. read more

This place is very nice and quaint. I have been here twice and got the Masala chai tea both times brewed with cream and sugar. It is very good. I am also a fan of the scones which they prepare fresh once ordered. One thing to note is that when you pull up, the outside does not look the greatest but it is nice inside. Also, if there is a tea you like, you can purchase some to take home that come in different sizes. If you are in the Millbrook/Prattville/Montgomery area, you should definitely try this place. read more

My mother comes here with my sister and her daughters every visit. Today was my first. David and Beth are in the process of renovating the entire place themselves and have done great deal of research to make the redo historically accurate. The outside may look a bit run down during this process but in no way reflects on the quality of the food or service. Don't let this grand lady and a princess tea pass by you. You get a wide range of teas to choose from and the pots are bottomless. If you don't care for the tea you have chosen, it will be gladly swapped out for a different variety. The Princess Tea includes fresh scones, finger sandwiches and desserts. It does not look like a lot of food but I was pleasantly full at the end of the service. I would recommend this to just spend a nice relaxing afternoon. read more

We went here yesterday and I was impressed with the HUGE selection of tea that they have. They have excellent tea sandwiches and pastries to go with their bottomless tea at a very reasonable/affordable price! If you don't like the tea you selected, they'll even brew you a fresh batch of some other tea you'd like to try instead! They also have a great gift shop with all things related to tea! The place is run and owned by a husband and wife team and it is obvious that they're still doing a lot of changes on the house itself and the lot behind. The downside though is if there's too many guests, the service time might suffer a bit. read more

A very nice stay. Reasonably priced and the fruit scones with curdled creme are to-die-for. My wife loves tea and enjoyed both evening tea and tea with breakfast. The owners joined us for breakfast and the conversation was excellent. The bed was very comfortable and the refinished bathroom was elegantly redone. Our only concern is that there were two cockroaches that we found (one living, one already dead) in our bathroom. This is less of an issue for me, but my wife is deathly afraid of the critters. Overall, we would highly recommend this B&B and will likely return if we pass through Prattville again. read more

I really wish I could give this place a 5. Stayed in the downstairs room. It was a great room with an incredible bath. The breakfast was wonderful and the tea is outstanding. The only reason for the 4 is the house is in repair. The owners are wonderful. I was not sure about it when I pulled up. I will be back. Such a wonderful place for us travelers. read more

My father and I stayed at the Smith-Byrd House while visiting Prattville and Montgomery this past week on vacation. The owners, David and Beth, have invested a lot of time and energy into preserving this historic home, and that was evident from their delicious, home-made breakfasts (which included blueberry French toast casserole and orange cranberry or vanilla scones, among other wonderful Southern dishes), a wide assortment of tea, and a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. It was truly Southern hospitality at its finest! Whether you spend a few nights here or just stop by for tea and some food, the Smith-Byrd House is an ideal destination for everyone, no matter where you are from or where you are going. read more

Ok, place to get tea. There aren't many tea rooms in this area if Alabama, so give it a try!

This is a diamond in the rough! We love having lunch or afternoon tea here because the tea, food, and staff are amazing! Sadly, the exterior needs a lot of work, and on more than one occasion we've been turned away due to bookings. It seems if their business is thriving they would simply hire more staff because there is a second tea room that's never used. Even if you try to make a reservation, they will decline. Turning customers away regularly has to hurt business, right? We would love to see this place thrive and live up to its potential for the community. Overall, it's a great experience once you get in! read more

My wife and I enjoyed our afternoon tea at this lovely old home in Prattville. If we lived closer we'd be there more frequently. The assortment of tea and pastries is just about the best any where. I'm a regular guy not impressed with tea & crumpets, but Smith-Byrd House transformed me into almost a gentleman. My wife is already a lady, I married up. We thoroughly enjoyed out afternoon. Like other reviewers our only regret was not finding this place sooner. Perfect spot for a romantic afternoon. See, the tea transformed me into a romantic. read more

This is a great place, definitely worth the visit. The scones were fresh baked, and the best I've had in a while. Large selection of teas, which are "bottomless," meaning your pot gets refilled as much as you want and you can even switch to another tea at no extra charge. Great place to spend an afternoon relaxing in a 100 year old plus Victorian house with original styling. Bring friends or a book. Open 12-5. read more

I recently moved to Prattville and brought my mother-in-law here while she was visiting. We had the Tea for Two. The scones were perfect size and delicious. The rest of the food was tasty and I enjoyed my personal pot of tea. I had the Hunan and Margaret's Hope which is one of my favorites. Very relaxing experience and great atmosphere and service. I will return soon. read more

I had my bridal shower here today! The staff was friendly, food was fantastic, and there was a wide selection of tea to choose from!

Smith-Byrd House Prattville, AL. I would highly recommend the Tea Room Dining Experience. The tea selection is large. The food is absolutely wonderful. The food is fresh and made after you place your order. The owners, a couple, enjoy having this business, and this is apparent the moment you enter the door. Be sure and allow time to go into the gift shop. Unique experience!!!!! read more
