For two years, Americans couldn't turn on the TV without seeing Travis Kelce.
Football games, commercials, Taylor Swift's engagement photos, awards shows, and now a steakhouse.
But one woman finally said what a lot of people were already thinking – and 600,000 of them agreed with every word.
The Night at 1587 Prime That Nobody Asked For
Nicole Rose didn't walk into Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes' 1587 Prime looking for a fight.
She was taking a friend out before that friend shipped off for the Army.
Here's what $650 bought her.
A martini that took 45 minutes to arrive.
A $33 drink with no tableside experience – just a server who dropped off paperwork and vanished.
"You couldn't find the server to save your life," she said.
Fried chicken appeared before her drinks did.
She said it wasn't worth the $25.
Her $100 steak came out cooked wrong.
The $15 steak sauces she ordered didn't show up until her friend had already finished eating without them.
"The fastest thing our server did was pull out the bill," she said. "The $650 bill."
She called it "the worst fine-dining experience I've ever had."
The one bright spot?
The broccolini.
She pointed to Gibson's Steakhouse in Chicago as everything 1587 Prime is not – servers who walk you through the menu, show you the cuts, and make sure the price tag is justified.

Her advice to Kelce and Mahomes: "Go to Gibson's and see what they're doing and do that."
Restaurant critic Liz Cook visited separately and called it a "child-like idea of luxury" – the kind of place that looks expensive without understanding what expensive actually means.
1587 Prime Is Just the Latest Celebrity Restaurant to Learn This Lesson
This is a story about what happens every single time a famous person decides their name is a business plan.
Wahlburgers – Mark Wahlberg's family burger chain – drew fewer than half five-star reviews in a major consumer survey and has since pulled out of 79 Midwest locations.
T.I. opened his upscale Atlanta steakhouse Scales 925 in 2015 to massive fanfare.
It lasted one year before a $1 million eviction notice and multiple employee lawsuits alleging unpaid wages shut it down.
Eva Longoria's Beso steakhouse burned through more than $76,000 a month in losses before collapsing into bankruptcy.
Famous name packs the house in month one.
Novelty wears off.

The math falls apart.
Because fame doesn't train servers, fame doesn't cook steak, and fame doesn't make a $33 martini worth the 45-minute wait.
1587 Prime Is Fighting a Viral Review and a Federal Lawsuit at the Same Time
The TikTok fire isn't even the only problem right now.
In February 2026, a sneaker company called 1587 Sneakers filed a federal trademark infringement lawsuit – arguing the restaurant's name too closely mirrors their brand, which began selling under the "1587" name in April 2023.
Kelce and Mahomes filed their trademark application eight months later.
A federal judge denied the emergency request to shut the restaurant down, noting the sneaker company had waited too long to seek that relief.
But the lawsuit itself remains active in federal court in New York.
So the restaurant is simultaneously managing a viral PR disaster on TikTok and an active federal trademark fight – and it's been open less than seven months.
To be fair, the Google rating sits at 4.3.
Some customers on Rose's own video said they'd been twice and loved it.
A Business Insider reviewer praised an $800 dinner as "luxurious" and said it didn't disappoint.
The restaurant isn't a universal failure.
But Kelce and Mahomes didn't build their names by getting the job done most of the time.
They built them by sweating every detail, every play, under pressure that would break lesser men.
That's what made them worth rooting for.
The woman who took her friend out for one last good night before basic training deserved that same standard.
She didn't get it.
And she made sure 600,000 people knew exactly why.
