Celebrity restaurants are a gamble. Sometimes the food lives up to the hype; other times you’re left sorely disappointed and with a hefty bill at the end of it.
A woman’s night out at Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce’s new Kansas City steakhouse, 1587 Prime, is going viral. Here’s what she had to say about it.
Is It Worth the Hype?
In a viral TikTok with more than 450,000 views, content creator Nicole Rose (@knicnacks) breaks down her experience at 1587 Prime, the upscale steakhouse co-owned by the two Kansas City Chiefs stars inside the Loews Hotel in downtown Kansas City.
She says she went on a Thursday night with friends, including one who was shipping off to the Army. It was supposed to be a special dinner. Spoiler alert: It was not.
The problems started before the drinks even arrived.
“It took us 45 minutes to get a martini,” she says. And when they finally showed up, she says the server brought the wrong one. From there, she notes things didn’t improve.
Nobody explained the experience to them. A bar cart was apparently part of the deal, but instead of walking them through it, the server dropped off some papers, told them to fill them out, and disappeared, the TikToker recounts. Twenty-five minutes later, she says a man showed up to make the martini tableside.
“It’s just him making the martini in front of you,” she says. “It’s not a real great experience.” That martini, by the way, cost $33.
She says her friend’s beer ran out, and she had to flag down the server. The fried chicken arrived before their drinks did and wasn’t worth the $25.
The Main Event
Then came the main event. “The steak sauces were ordered. They did not come. They forgot them,” she says. By the time the sauces arrived, one friend had already finished her steak entirely. Nicole says she was still waiting, holding off on cutting into her own.
“My $100 steak was incorrectly cooked,” she says. “Couldn’t even find the server to save your life. So just had to go with it, I guess.”
She did have some positives. The broccolini with chili? “Ten out of ten, to be honest,” she exclaims. The Parker House rolls: “Hands down the best rolls I’ve ever had at any restaurant.” But the mashed potatoes were just mashed potatoes, she says, and the mac and cheese was dry. And the fastest thing their server did all night, the diner claims, was collect the $650 bill.
For comparison, she’d just come back from Gibson’s in Chicago. She says that’s a steakhouse she loved so much she went back two nights in a row.
“They walk you through the entire menu, including showing you the cuts,” she says. “My cup never went empty at Gibson’s. My Manhattan was flowing.”
She had a message for the owners: “Travis Kelce and Mahomes, please go to Gibson’s and see what they’re doing and do that.”
One more thing: she says she wanted to try the Alchemy, the cocktail Taylor Swift inspired at the restaurant. But after everything, they were too fed up to stay.
“We just wanted to get out of there,” she says. “So I didn’t end up trying it. Someone else let me know how that drink was.”
About 1587 Prime
The restaurant opened in September 2025 at the Loews Kansas City Hotel, with the name a play on Mahomes’s No. 15 and Kelce’s No. 87, per ESPN. The two Chiefs stars partnered with Noble 33, a hospitality group behind restaurants in Miami, Los Angeles, and other cities, to bring the concept to Kansas City.
Per 1587 Prime’s website, the menu is built around locally sourced beef alongside American Wagyu and Japanese A5 cuts, and the beverage program is led by a Michelin Guide Award-winning director.
Nicole isn’t alone in her mixed feelings. Liz Cook, a former Kansas City restaurant critic writing for Defector, visited twice and found the experience flashier than it was substantive. Her verdict on the steaks—which should be the whole point—was that the kitchen couldn’t nail the temperature.
Two of her three steaks arrived medium when she ordered medium-rare, including a $59 petite filet she described as having “a nice crust but an unpleasantly mealy interior.” Only the cheapest cut on the menu, the hanger steak from the steak frites at $48, was cooked correctly.
The martini situation Nicole described tracks with Cook’s experience, too. The restaurant has one cart per floor, which creates backlogs when multiple tables order at once. Want your martini “your way”—meaning, just gin and vermouth—that’s an extra $10 upcharge on top of the base price.
On the Mahomes Ketchup Flight—which a Noble 33 press release called “made in-house”—Cook confirmed with the kitchen that the base for all three was Heinz. The price has since dropped from $15 to $10. The Parker House rolls are sourced from a local bakery rather than made in-house—a fact the menu doesn’t disclose. Cook’s overall take: “There is no need for anything this mediocre to cost this much.”
Commenters React
Viewers claimed the steak sauce should have been the first red flag.
“Another red flag. A good steak doesn’t need steak sauce especially if you paid $100 for it,” one said.
“They charge separately for steak sauce????? In kc????” another questioned.
“The Kelsey’s don’t give upscale, they give dive bar with a kitchen that sells bomb ass pizzas,” a top comment read.
“For $600 Travis Kelce better feed me my steak himself,” a person said.
“Everyone getting personally offended at op’s review… this was HER experience, defending this restaurant isn’t going to make travis kelce give you tickets to a chiefs game,” another wrote.
“Do the people in these comments realizing your SERVICE is PART of the fine dining experience? you’re paying for exceptional service AND food. if they miss on EITHER, it’s a fail,” a commenter added.
@knicnacks @New Heights can we talk about this on the pod? @Travis Kelce #traviskelce #patrickmahomes #kansascity #kcmo
