About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Romantic
The Folk’s Folly story began in 1977 with unconventional origins, as the best stories often do.

Native son Humphrey Folk, Jr. was a prominent and shrewd developer, whose hard work carried him all over the country, cultivating his sincere appreciation of food and fine wine.

Undaunted by a complete lack of restaurant or culinary experience, he decided to convert a quaint and intimate house into a small eatery. His peers offered little encouragement, so he added the word “folly” to his own name, and Memphis’ Original Prime Steak House was born.

With only a gentleman's handshake to signify agreement, Humphrey Folk welcomed famed Memphis restaurateur Thomas Boggs as managing partner of Folk's Folly in 2003.

This partnership built the bridge to the next generation and Folk's Folly Prime Steak House remains a family affair.

    The food was perfect. We made a last minute change to the details of our order and it was quickly accommodated for us. Our amazing server Rose was so attentive to our experience. She is the BEST! The manager came by and made us feel genuinely at home. It was a wonderful place to celebrate a birthday. Thank you to everyone there!

    The food had no flavor and our server was NOT warm. Her name was Mia. I would not recommend.

    Our hostess Shaunna was wonderful! She upgraded our table to a private room and made sure that the dining experience was top notch. I look forward to our next outing and will request her as our server.

    This was my first time coming here. I was greeted at the door and they instantly made me feel so comfortable. They offered to store my birthday cake. I didn’t have to ask them. The atmosphere amazing. I was celebrating my birthday and they had balloons for me and have a dessert at the end. The manager came and wished me a happy birthday and chatted with me for a few minutes. The valet crew was extremely nice and opened my door and was so nice. My waitress name was Mia. She was so sweet. I felt like a queen with royalty. I will definitely be back.
