For dessert at Folk's Folly, you can't go wrong with a brick of incredibly dense and rich bread pudding served with an Irish whisky sauce. Creme brulee was good, but I would have liked a bit more brulee atop the creme. The hand that applies butter and olive oil in the Folk's Folly kitchen stints no effort at its job. The food swims in fat, the steaks actually sizzling in butter on their very hot plates, so if you're looking for the minimum of calories and cholesterol, this is not the place for you. The psychology behind the restaurant is interesting.
Nothing fancy goes on here.
The fare at Folk's Folly is generously portioned and completely unscary, and that's exactly the way its many fans want it to be. The wine list offers a phenomenal roster of red wines, many expensive but difficult to find anywhere else. It's truly a list for people who love cabernet sauvignon and merlot and want to see those varieties in depth. Reviewers visit the restaurant unannounced, order from the menu, eat and pay the bill without being identified. The reports are not related to whether the restaurant advertises in The Commercial Appeal.
