What People Are Saying About Folk's Folly Prime Cut Shoppe
Featured Review

The Scene – Humphrey Folk was a local contractor who longed for a good steak house and did something about it. His Folly occupies a renovated house where couples can hold hands in private alcoves or groups can gather in front of the fireplace in the main dining room. Longtime staff know diners by name and a newsletter makes customers feel like part of a large extended family. – – The Food – The portions of the USDA pime beef, veal, lamb, chicken and seafood are enormous. The 28-ounce porterhouse challenges the biggest beef lovers while the petite (a measly…

Good steak
by samanthabailey at Citysearch
Steak was cooked well. Great service. Good desserts. Loved the specials. Website was user friendly. Would recommend it, best steak in Memphis.
- Pros: Valet Parking, Piano Bar, Private Dining, exceptional and personable service
- Cons: Expensive, but worth every penny!... Only one restroom with two stalls - it seemed like quite a large venue for such a small - yet well maintained, restroom

Slightly overrated
by aodhan51 at Citysearch
The steaks are good, and the rest of the food is okay too. The waitresses are all older than God, and rather cavalier about the service they provide. Still it's somewhat overpriced, but would be worth it if they lived up to the price. But the people of Memphis (generally speaking) are unsophisticated regarding restaurants, and they have no idea what fine dining is. Hell, they think Red Lobster is the best seafood in town. Is that sad or what?
- Pros: Bread Pudding
- Cons: Surly, aging wait staff

It's BACK!!!
by gregjones at Citysearch
I read the posted reviews and it seemed like there was not a consensus. But I went because I love steak. It was as good as anything I have EVER eaten. cooked perfectly, very pleasant staff, unique suroundings (it's in an old house). From the dates of the other reviews posted I think it's time that everyone go back...they were proudly displaying all of the awards they won last month from the two leading magazines in town, the place was PACKED, but still accomodated me without delay. It had energy but was not too noisy for conversation. Whatever transition they went thru, it's over. This is truly one of the top steakhouses in the country...I've lived in 12 cities...this is where I now ship out my gifts from.
- Pros: complimentary valet , private rooms , piano bar
- Cons: seriously, none

Folly Experience
by awesomeadmin at Citysearch
I have been dining at Folk's Folly for the last 11 years with my family. I recently had dinner there and had probably the best experience ever! The service was outstanding and the staff could not have been more fantastic ....from the great greetings from the guys outside to the smiling faces at the front door. I've noticed a remarkable improvement with the consistancy and overall service! Keep up the good work!
