Their Kansas City steakhouse, 1587 Prime, has earned a spot among Yelp’s top new restaurants, giving the Chiefs stars a timely reason to celebrate. Kelce and Mahomes are also fighting a trademark lawsuit tied to the 1587 name While diners are responding well to the restaurant. Yelp placed 1587 Prime at No. 6 on its list of the top new restaurants. The ranking considered factors such as customer reviews and average ratings, with eligible restaurants opening between January 1, 2025, and June 11, 2026. The steakhouse, located inside the Loews Kansas City Hotel, opened in September 2025. The restaurant has built its identity around premium steak offerings, including beef from Kansas’ Foote Ranch and a 40-ounce Wagyu Tomahawk supplied by Snake River Farms. The concept was developed with hospitality company Noble 33, which also operates several high-profile restaurants. The name 1587 has a direct connection to the Chiefs stars, combining Mahomes’ No. 15 jersey number with Kelce’s No. 87. Noble 33 director of hospitality Sacha Tanha previously described how the partnership came together. The Yelp recognition comes while 1587 Prime remains connected to an ongoing legal dispute. 1587 Sneakers, a footwear and apparel company, has accused Kelce, Mahomes and business entities linked to the restaurant of trademark infringement and unfair competition. The company says it has used the 1587 name since 2023. Its trademark application covers clothing, while the restaurant’s application, filed in December 2023, relates to restaurant and bar services. For now, 1587 Prime has momentum with customers and recognition from Yelp. Stay updated with the latest Asian Games 2026 news , check the Asian Games medal tally and complete Asian Games schedule .
“They both were immediately like, ‘We would love to have something in Kansas City,’” Tanha told the Kansas City Star. “At the current stage of the proceeding, this case isn’t the trademark fight most people assume it is — it’s a fight over how close two celebrity investors have to be to a business before a court can drag them into it personally,” Molen told Heavy. Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes have found a positive headline away from the football field. The recognition arrives at a complicated moment for the business. For the two NFL stars, the latest honour highlights the growing profile of their business venture while the legal dispute continues to work its way through court. It was the only restaurant from the Kansas City area to feature on Yelp’s list. Kelce and Mahomes shared the recognition on their Instagram Stories. “They both thought a steakhouse would probably make the most sense. Kelce and Mahomes have asked the Southern District of New York to dismiss the case. Their motion challenges personal jurisdiction, venue and whether the complaint sufficiently claims that either athlete personally committed an infringing act.

The bigger question is whether that success will continue alongside a legal battle that could ultimately be resolved without a court deciding the broader trademark issue.
