Editorial Review for Folk's Folly Prime Steakhouse – by Michele McCole Moss and Linda Romine
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 seven ounces) is a more modest choice. The deliciously tender steaks come hot off the grill with parsley butter bubbling atop the meat. Seafood entrees change with the tide, but mouthwatering king crab legs and the enormous lobster are regular features.

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

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
