Folk’s Folly
Memphis, Tennessee
Open since 1977, Folk’s Folly fancies itself “Memphis’ Original Prime Steak House”. Native Memphian Humphrey Folk Jr. converted a small house into a steakhouse 45 years ago, and now his four sons have carried on the legacy as active partners in the restaurant. Like any good steakhouse, Folk’s offers at least seven different cuts, plus more than a dozen ways to enhance your steak. Try the bone marrow butter or crabmeat bearnaise for a real upscale treat.
