1587 Prime, the Kansas City steakhouse co-owned by NFL stars Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes, has garnered attention for its upscale dining experience and unique offerings, though early reviews have been varied. The restaurant, named after Kelce's jersey number 87 and Mahomes' number 15, opened in September 2025 and features a contemporary design with a warmly lit ground floor housing a meat showcase, a bar, and banquettes, along with an upstairs dining area and private VIP space.
Dining Experience and Critic's View
The establishment has faced criticism regarding its pricing, with some diners finding the cost high for the perceived quality. Food critic Liz Cook, in a December review, described 1587 Prime as having a 'child-like idea of luxury' and questioned the value of its prices for what she deemed mediocre food. However, a recent diner's experience suggested improvements.
The diner reported that the restaurant, while expensive, provided a high-end steakhouse experience. The meal began with complimentary bread and butter. For the main course, a 16oz Bone In Strip steak priced at $78 was ordered, accompanied by a $16 side of mashed potatoes. The steak was described as melt-in-your-mouth with a flavorful crust and succulent center, while the mashed potatoes were a satisfying accompaniment.
Unique Cocktail and Dessert
A notable element of the dining experience is 'The Alchemy' cocktail, a $22 drink named after Taylor Swift's hit song. This beverage arrived with a flourish: its stem was set alight, drawing attention to the table. While the spectacle was described as potentially embarrassing for a solo diner, the drink itself was noted as being well-balanced. Another cocktail option, 'The Big Yeti,' named after Kelce, was also available.
Dessert consisted of a $16 cast iron chocolate chip cookie with vanilla ice cream, which was described as mouthwatering and a perfect end to the meal. The total bill for the one-person meal, including a 20 percent service charge and tax, came to $199.20.
Despite the high price point, the diner concluded that the combination of elegant decor, accommodating staff, creative service, and quality food makes 1587 Prime a worthwhile experience, with a recommendation to avoid the spotlight-grabbing cocktail when dining alone.
