The Memphis steakhouse is a special-occasion fixture, built on prime cuts, dim lighting and a deep wine list. Folk's Folly Prime Steak House on South Mendenhall Road is the city's longtime independent standard-bearer, while The Capital Grille on Poplar Avenue covers the polished national-chain end. Char Restaurant in East Memphis adds a Southern-accented take on the chophouse.
Folk's Folly is Memphis's original prime steakhouse on South Mendenhall since 1977, with USDA prime cuts, white tablecloths and a piano bar in the back.
OrderFilet mignon with the prime ribeye to share at the table.
TipThe piano bar is the relaxed seat; the main dining room is jacket-friendly. Open seven nights for dinner.
The Capital Grille's East Memphis Poplar Avenue dining room dry-ages prime steaks 18 to 24 days and hand-cuts them. A reliable Memphis steakhouse choice.
OrderBone-in dry-aged ribeye with the lobster mac.
