Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce Face First Challenge in Their Joint Business Venture…See More
Earlier this year, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce opened 1587 Prime, a sleek steakhouse meant to combine high-end dining with local flair.

The project was launched in partnership with hospitality group Noble 33 and celebrated as a statement of ambition, the kind of restaurant meant to reflect Mahomes’ competitive drive and Kelce’s charisma.
The debut couldn’t have been more glamorous. The grand opening doubled as Mahomes’ 30th birthday celebration and drew an A-list crowd, from Taylor Swift and Kane Brown to Brittany Mahomes, eager to see what the city’s biggest stars had created.

For weeks, it looked like the restaurant had struck the right tone: part luxury, part Kansas City pride. Then came a photo that changed the conversation entirely.

On review platforms, the response is divided. Google currently lists the restaurant at 4.5 stars, while Yelp scores it at 3.9, reflecting a mix of praise for service and criticism of food quality and value.
Reddit user named “rosie67034” shared a snapshot from his recent visit to 1587 Prime, showing a small metal bowl of mashed potatoes priced at $16. The photo’s caption read simply, “The $16 mashed potatoes served at Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce’s new restaurant.”

That post quickly went viral. What might have been a minor complaint turned into a full-scale social media pile-on. Many users criticized the dish’s presentation, describing it as overly buttery and unappealing.

One commenter wrote, “Looks like soupy powdered potatoes. Couldn’t tell where the taters ended and gravy began.”
