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.

    Always love eating at Folks for a special occasion. Food as always was delicious. My husbands New York was a bit grisley, nit what you’d expect at a high end steakhouse, my filet was perfect, as well as the sides and service.

    We celebrated our 56th wedding anniversary! The chef always hit the mark for quality food and presentation. But Jonathan, our server, made the evening. From serving to periodic checking up on us made the evening special. Thanks for a wonderful evening!

    This was our first time to FF, but it certainly won’t be our last. Our steaks were perfect! The potato casserole and spinach casserole were both fabulous. And, Alyssa, our server, was so attentive and engaging. This was the best dining experience we’ve had in a long time. Can’t wait to go back!

    Hidden gem of an old staple steakhouse. The bar area as nice to enjoy a pre-dinner cocktail with calm pianist playing soft music. Dinner room areas were quiet to enjoy company with not too much noise to converse with each other. Overall a nice experience.

    Food, ambience, staff and my server particularly were extraordinary! Ms M my long time server is spectacular and a great ambassador for Folks Folly! We waited briefly in the bar area where the head bartender as well is the best! Folks Folly is the best steakhouse in the country hands-down!
