1587 Prime: Kansas City Travel Guide

Two jersey numbers on the door

Start with the name. Fifteen is Patrick Mahomes’s number and 87 is Travis Kelce’s, so 1587 tells you whose restaurant this is. The two Kansas City Chiefs players are the celebrity backers, and the room leans into that pairing openly.

This is a steakhouse in a city that takes both beef and football seriously, and it treats dinner as part of the game-day mood. If you came to Kansas City for barbecue, this is the other half of the city’s meat story: white tablecloth rather than butcher paper.

What lands on the table

The menu is built on two kinds of beef. Prime beef is the American top grade, and it covers the classic steakhouse cuts. Japanese A5 Wagyu is the highest grade in Japan’s grading system. It is so heavily marbled that it is usually served in small portions and eaten slowly.

What sets the room apart from a standard chophouse:

• The martini cart. Drinks are mixed at your table, not sent out from a hidden bar.
• Live music. It’s part of the evening, so expect a soundtrack rather than a hushed dining room.
• Sports-fan energy. The concept channels Kansas City’s football culture, which makes the room louder than old-school steakhouses.

The restaurant hasn’t published a full menu or prices that we can confirm, so check the official website or reservation listing for current cuts and pricing. Expect a high-end bill. A5 Wagyu is among the most expensive beef in the world wherever it’s served.

Booking a table on a Chiefs weekend

Book ahead and don’t count on walking in. The players’ names alone pull in fans from across the region. Every Chiefs home game also fills downtown with visitors, so it makes sense that home-game weekends would be the hardest nights to get a table. If you have a choice, a weeknight is the easier booking.

Before you go:

• Confirm hours and reservations directly. Newer restaurants often change their schedules in the first months.
• Ask about the dress code. A celebrity steakhouse with a cocktail cart tends to expect smart clothes, not stadium gear.
• Mention the Wagyu when booking if it’s the reason you’re coming. Specialty cuts can be limited.
• Tip on the full bill. Standard US practice at a sit-down restaurant is around 18 to 20 percent. Cards are the norm.

Don’t expect to see Mahomes or Kelce at the next table. They’re the backers, not the hosts. Go for the beef, the cart and the music, and treat a sighting as a bonus.

Building the evening around it

A steakhouse dinner with live music and martinis usually takes two to three hours, so plan it as the whole night. Downtown Kansas City puts plenty within reach if you want to keep going. The Power & Light District has bars and late-night venues, and the Crossroads Arts District has galleries and cocktail bars a short ride south.

If football brought you to town, GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium is east of downtown in the Truman Sports Complex. Game days there start with hours of tailgating in the parking lots. Dinner at 1587 Prime the night before, or the night after a win, fits the theme the restaurant is built on.
