Smith-Byrd House Bed and Breakfast and Tea Room - Prattville, Alabama

Read about this place just last night and happened to be nearby for work today. Don’t let the external condition of the house and yard deter you—trust me, you want to go in!!
I was immediately greeted by name (they ask for reservations) and taken to a table by a window. It’s an historic home, so it shows its age, but they’ve decorated the dining rooms in tearoom kitsch. Utterly charming. There are many options for food—you can get a nibble or go all out. I got quiche, 4 finger sandwiches, 2 scones, and 3 mini desserts. It’s no exaggeration that this is some of the best food I’ve eaten out in a long time. They know what they’re doing. And the teas! Over 100 to choose from and you get a bottomless pot so you can try whatever you want. I tried 3 which were all delicious. The staff were attentive and kind and let me stay and enjoy myself as long as I wished. It’s worth the trip. I live an hour away but I will be back.

I’m going to be real. The food is really good! The store is so cute! The nice lady working there/owner, so very sweet! However, the entire place needs a good cleaning, especially the outside. The outside looks like an abandoned house. The weeds are high & everything needs trimming. There are wood scraps hanging outside on the deck. It made me not want to eat inside. The ramp going into the building was falling apart. The business would be booming if they would clean it up!

The cutest place ever with the sweetest people!!!! the waitresses kinda give medieval tavern girls in the best way and their outfits are adorable. the finger sandwiches are SO good and the quiche is the best I’ve had. I cannot wait to come back in the spring time! I got the duchess tea with a bottomless pot of vanilla chai.

Very quaint and cute tea room. Accommodated to our gluten allergy and everything tasted delicious! Would recommend to others and would love to come back. The eggnog scones and pimento cheese sandwiches were absolutely amazing.

My dad loves everything tea, so we visited the Smith-Byrd House. There were so many tea options and the snacks that came with it were delicious. Pay them a visit!

During pre- Christmas season in December 2024 we stayed one night in Pratville on our road trip across the deep South - on the way to beautiful Savannah Georgia but our short presence in Pratville Alabama became a memorable and pleasant experience it itself thanks to staying at Smith & Byrd house . We immersed ourselves in 19 th century setting , had a wonderful breakfast together with the owners David & Beth who made us feel as if we were visiting our close relatives .
They also recommended us to see Christmas displays in Pratville historic district just blocks away and we were mesmerized by the creativity and scale of beautifully adorned numerous Christmas trees plus dined at a really nice newly opened local restaurant

Also , Smyth Byrd house is very versatile- they provide opportunities for locals to hold festive events , host afternoon tea ceremonies and sell antiques ( we got a very nice and affordably priced tea set from them too )
Highly recommend to travelers, especially those enjoying the traditional charm and personable experiences which one could only get from staying at bed & breakfast houses like this one …

Took my grandmother for Queen’s Tea and we loved it! Over 100 loose leaf tea options and we tried at four during our visit, all were delicious. The scones were fresh and delicious! Yummy finger sandwiches, quiche, and desserts. The whole visit was so nice. The whole place was decorated for Christmas and the proprietor gave us the history of the house. The tea was really excellent served hot and they kept on top of service. We were a little nervous about the obvious work being done to the house when we pulled up, but trust me this place is worth the visit.

Please come and see Mrs Beth and Dave's Skills. The tea and food is always delicious; but I have never had scones as good as these they are addicting!!
