If you\u2019re looking for a truly rare steak (or medium rare), then Memphis should be on your list. Our prime steakhouses offer unique and flavorful meats with a bit of Southern flair for that homestyle taste. And we\u2019ve rounded up a list of some of our favorites to help get you started on your steak tour around the 901. Here are some steakhouses worth checking out during your visit to Bluff City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Folk’s Folly Prime Steak House<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here in Memphis, the name Folk\u2019s Folly is synonymous with steak. It\u2019s the original prime steak house in town, with a selection of prime cuts, enhancers, and deluxe sides. You can even round out your meal with some classic Southern favorites with an elegant spin, like the green beans cooked with ham hock, fried pickles, or a slice of pecan pie, complete with a scoop of ice cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Porch and Parlor<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Located in Overton Square, this midtown steakhouse offers a perfect blend of prime cuts and paired drinks for the ultimate luxury experience. Start your meal with some fried green tomatoes or prime filet egg rolls for some Memphis flavor, or indulge in a wagyu-tasting of international steaks. We recommend ending the meal with a banana pudding or a key lime martini. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Side Porch Steakhouse<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a more casual steakhouse that still brings the flavor. Side Porch in Bartlett is perfect for a more relaxed vibe, and you can still order your favorite cuts, like a porterhouse, NY strip, and filet. Start your dinner with some cowboy caviar and add a side of fried okra for bold flavors and Southern charm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Char Restaurant<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can find Char just a few streets away from the University of Memphis down on South Highland. This steakhouse offers shareable sides, from house-cut truffled pomme frites to chipotle sweet potato mash, and prime cuts from ribeyes to filets. They also have Memphis-inspired eats, like cornbread-dusted redfish and pecan butter crunch, to inject your elegant meal with some local favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Butcher Shop Steakhouse<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Right next door to the Agricenter is The Butcher Shop, a steakhouse with such unique offerings as Hawaiian ribeye, bone-in cowboy ribeye, and stuffed filet mignon. Though not an actual butcher shop, you\u2019ll enjoy fresh fixings and prime cuts at this local treasure. On Fridays, they also offer lunches of fresh burgers, catfish sandwiches, Cajun tater tots, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
