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 inside of the restaurant looks very nice. Our service was absolutely amazing, and the food was fantastic. The atmosphere felt very good and the restaurant wasn’t too loud, which I really like. I would definitely recommend going here for any special and important events.

    Our server and busser were fantastic! The food was delicious, and the courses were perfectly spaced out. We don’t get to go out often due to our child’s sports schedule, so when we do, it’s truly appreciated to enjoy a restaurant that still delivers excellent service.
