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.*PLEASE NOTE: ALL REQUESTS FOR PRIVATE DINING MUST BE MADE BY CONTACTING THE RESTAURANT DIRECTLY AT901-762-8200

We are from Michigan and dined here a few years back and loved this restaurant. We came back last night and had the same great experience. The wait staff are very attentive and timing of the food is perfect. My husband got the steak entree flight and they were all cooked perfectly. I got the fish entree flight and they were all great but loved the red fish the best. It’s a fun quality experience with great service food and drinks

Amazing Christmas dinner. Everything was outstanding, from the greeting by the hostess to the outstanding service by Riley as well as all of the servers that brought the food. The food was incredible, with only one item I didn’t care for, but that was personal taste not quality. An amazing holiday and I plan to do it again.
