13 Best Steakhouses in Memphis

“A wonderful experience all around. Wade was an exceptional server as were all the staff that touched our table. The food was excellent and the pink Cadillac from the bar was top notch!! Everything was cooked and presented perfectly, especially the sweet potatoes!!!- a campfire delicacy. And the deviled eggs and presentation were fabulous!!!!! Can’t wait to return and try something new on the menu!“

“This was a date night. Ruth Chris affirms special occasions. Sonia was our waitperson. Attentive, alert, and fun, she ensured the timely progression of the evening with sizzling steaks arriving on cue. She left no stone unturned and her ability to connect with the customer was magical. Thanks to the Chef and their team and certainly a big Thank you to Sonia. A great evening!“

“I like to have business lunches at Seasons because the service is quick, the food is good, and the cost is reasonable. I made a reservation and asked to be seated at a booth in the bar. I intentionally arrived a few minutes before my reservation as I was meeting someone I did not know and did not want them to have to wait for me. When I arrived, I explained to the hostess that my guest, whom I did not know, would be meeting me. She assured me my guest would be led to my table once she arrived. I was led to a booth in the very back of the bar where it was difficult to see people arriving. After about 10 minutes, I went back to the hostess to remind her I was meeting someone, I told her my guest's name, and I was once again assured my guest would be bought to my table. Several minutes later, the hostess leads a woman to the booth next to mine. The woman tells the hostess she was meeting someone. We both sat alone for another 5 minutes before we both started to get out from our booths to ask if we were meeting each other. We were! Very embarrassing and both of us sat alone unnecessarily. This was very unprofessional on the part of the host staff who could have easily asked my guest her first name, assuming they paid any attention to my request.“

“Review: Char Restaurant – Highland Street, Memphis | Rating: 4.5/5.0

Today, I’m sharing my experience at Char Restaurant, located on Highland Street in Memphis. This is a fine dining restaurant, and I chose it to celebrate my friend’s birthday. We made a reservation for two, and everything from the moment we arrived was smooth and welcoming.

We were seated promptly, and the atmosphere was elegant and relaxing, just as you’d expect from a fine dining establishment. The staff were courteous and professional. I don’t recall the name of our server, but he took excellent care of us throughout the evening.

🍽️ What We Ordered:
Fried Chicken (Main Course) – Served with vegetables and gravy, this dish was absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich and well-balanced, and the presentation was spot on.
Shrimp and Grits with French Fries – My friend ordered this and mentioned it was the best she’s ever had. The shrimp were well-cooked, and the grits were creamy and flavorful.
Blueberry Banana Pudding – This dessert was a delightful surprise. I had asked the server to bring it out as a birthday surprise, and he did so perfectly — bringing it out when she wasn’t looking, which made the moment even more special.
💬 Final Thoughts:
We had a wonderful time celebrating, and my friend truly enjoyed her special day. I really appreciate the hospitality and attention to detail shown by the Char team. The food, service, and ambiance all came together to create a memorable experience.

We’re definitely planning to return soon to explore more of the menu.

Overall Rating: 4.5/5.0

Thank you to the entire team at Char for making our evening so enjoyable!“

“Really good experience. Valet parked then seated immediately, even though we were 10 mins early for reservation. Greeted by server immediately. Multiple servers came by to fill water, clear water , etc and they all were very pleasant.

Celebrated an anniversary and the staff had a card, a rose, and little hearts all over the table. Every staff member that came by wished us a happy anniversary. Wife loved it.

Food was very good. Steaks were thick and tender. Au gratin potatoes were a huge hit. The capital grille old fashioned was excellent. Service was above and beyond. Great experience.

Our reservation was for 6pm, around 7pm all the lights dimmed in our section which instantly made a more intimate setting. Our next reservation will be closer to 7pm.“

“Folk’s Folly is our family’s choice for group and small celebrations. The private rooms are ideal for larger groups. It is our #1 choice for birthday dinners. The buttery tender filets are our go to meals.. perfectly seasoned, seared and cooked to temperature. I personally love the sweet mash as a side but they are all good. There are some new items on the menu, too. We tried the strawberry shortcake last night. The kindness of the hostesses, knowledge and care of the servers and the FOOD last night solidified are selection for Folk’s as our choice for a premier steakhouse dining experience.“

“Side Porch Steakhouse absolutely delivers. The steak was cooked perfectly - great char, tender, and full of flavor. Sides were simple and done right, exactly what you want with a solid steakhouse meal. Service was friendly, efficient, and not pushy, and the overall atmosphere felt comfortable and classic, not pretentious. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality steakhouse that does the basics really well, this is it. Would absolutely recommend and will be back.“
