Why Football And Food Fans Think Travis Kelce And Patrick Mahomes' Steakhouse Is Worth A Visit

A lot of celebrities are opening restaurants and entering the world of culinary business. Initially, these restaurants are met with great hype, but they do not all stand the test of time. Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes, two star players on the Kansas City Chiefs football team, are still in the honeymoon phase of their new steakhouse, 1587 Prime. Named after their combined jersey numbers, the restaurant opened on September 17, 2025, and is likely not where the average fan would dine on a regular Friday night; the place is glitzy, pricey, and has a strict dress code. While we haven't yet had the chance to review it, many football (and fine dining) fans do find the experience worth the price tag.

First and foremost, the food at this upmarket steakhouse is reportedly delicious. The menu features prime steak cuts and pricey Wagyu beef, with source farms disclosed directly on the menu for each individual cut. There are also abundant seafood options including twin lobster tails or roasted branzino for those who are not in the mood for beef. The ambiance is decidedly luxe, with an interior clad in marble and gold hues, live music every single evening, and even an occasional celebrity sighting — someone on Reddit spotted Travis and Taylor Swift there after a home game. The cocktails come with captivating at-table presentations, such as being set on fire. Mixed drinks also have fun names that feel like inside jokes with the fans — both the Chiefs (the bourbon based Big Yeti is named in honor of Travis's nickname) and the Swifties (The Alchemy is a vodka-based cocktail named after a Taylor Swift song about Kelce) respectively.

The 1587 Prime experience comes with a high price tag

1587 Prime doesn't hide the fact that it's a high-end dining place, promising "a modern steakhouse experience that combines elevated touches on familiar, approachable dishes." In practical terms, that means guests can order a $165 steak with a side of $15 ketchup. The prices aren't totally outrageous for a luxe steakhouse, but they're definitely out of reach for most people on a regular basis. For a party of four, the bill will easily be between $800 and $1,000, which is a dealbreaker for some. "Went to Texas Roadhouse last night and my $6 mashed potatoes looked and tasted like a little bowl of heaven. I'll stick with cheap," wrote somebody on Reddit, while another person quipped that "1587 Prime isn't a restaurant. It's a financial decision."

Others aren't bothered by the prices, though. "Not out of line with most special occasion restaurants. If it's really good I don't mind these prices at all," said one Kansas City Chiefs fan, and another echoed, "This is a once a year birthday or anniversary dinner type of place." For many, it really is about the experience rather than just the food, and the steakhouse is leaning into that. Will it end up on our list of the absolute best steakhouses? Time will tell. 

Despite having a strict dress code on regular nights, which asks guests not to show up in ballcaps and athletic wear and to aim for "business casual or dressy evening wear," 1587 Prime does make an exception for game nights — when Kansas City Chiefs fans can come dressed in the team's apparel.
