Dining room at Folk's Folly, Memphis, TNThis country club-inspired East Memphis restaurant offers steaks ranging from the eight-ounce filet mignon to a 28-ounce porterhouse. For those who shun red meat, seafood options abound, and heart-healthy dishes may be created upon request. Vegetable sides tend toward 1950s-inspired classics such as asparagus with hollandaise and spinach casserole. End the meal with a famous Folk’s Folly Freeze (Amaretto di Saronno, Chambord, Frangelico, Godiva, brandy or praline liqueur blended with soft vanilla ice cream). Longtime staffers know their regulars by name and welcome newbies with open arms. The ambience is both romantic, with private alcoves for dining couples, and appropriate for sealing the next business deal. Decent by-the-glass and half-bottle choices inhabit the 250-plus label wine cellar. Most wines are American, and some of the more important categories (such as Champagne and sparkling wine) show some pretty ordinary selections.
