Mahomes and Kelce’s 1587 Prime Gets Kansas City Star Nominations Despite Viral Criticism

Public voting will test whether local diners back the celebrity steakhouse.

Overview

  • The steakhouse inside the Loews Kansas City Hotel is up for Fine Dining, Steak, Wine Selection and Specialty Cocktails in the Kansas City Star’s 2026 Kansas City Favorites, with voting open through April 17.
  • The recognition follows a mid-March TikTok that called the meal “the worst fine-dining experience,” citing a 45-minute wait for a $33 martini, missing sauces, a mis-cooked $100 steak and a $650 bill.
  • Feedback remains split, with a positive Business Insider review praising an $800 dinner and an overall 4.3 Google rating alongside critical takes from diners and a local food critic.
  • This year’s contest drew more than 270,000 votes in early rounds and features 4,900 entrants across 274 categories, which makes community results a meaningful signal for the restaurant’s standing.
  • Backed by Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and hospitality group Noble 33, 1587 Prime leans into high-priced luxury dishes and celebrity cachet, which raises expectations on service and value.
