If you don't want to go to a chain and want to experience local flavor, it is very nice for a local, upscale steakhouse. However, for the price you pay, Ruth's Chris would be my first choice.

I went to Folk's Folly with a large group as a business outing. It was very enjoyable, we had a good time. I think it had a lot more to do with the people rather than the place, but whatever. Of...

While I think Folk's Folly is a nice steakhouse, I just can't say it's outstanding for how much you are paying for the meal. We went there for my birthday - I love steak and Folk's Folly has some of...

Folks Folly is an excellent steak house and, yes, the meat is prime cut. The fried pickles and cocktails are nice if there is a wait, and the entire staff is very professional and attentive. I like...

Folk's Folly has it in the name: Steak House. It's a more upscale place to go for a date for two. I sent my parents there for an anniversary one year, and they were very pleased. Plus, they're steak people and...

From the outside, Folk's Folly Prime Steak House just looks like a house instead of a fancy steakhouse. Inside, they have created ambience and lighting that invokes a sense of intimacy and privacy....

The steaks are good, and the rest of the food is okay too. The waitresses are all older than God, and rather cavalier about the service they provide. Still it's somewhat overpriced, but would be worth it if...

The food is a bit pricey. It should probably run about � of what it does. The butterflied filet was the best we've had at Folk's Folley. The Porterhouse was a bit tougher than one would expect for 30 $'s. The...

I don't think Folk's Folly is the best steak house. I had much better at Buckley's. Plus, Folk's Folly is VERY expensive, and Buckley's, which I think is better, is only about 11 dollars for an 8 oz steak with...
