In a heartwarming blend of celebrity flair and patriotic tribute, Kansas City Chiefs icons Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes have unveiled a special menu at their upscale steakhouse, 1587 Prime, exclusively for U.S. military veterans. Launched just in time for the holiday season on December 8, 2025, this complimentary offering transforms the restaurant’s opulent dining room into a haven of gratitude, serving up gourmet delights that rival a king’s banquet—all on the house for those who served.

Nestled within the Loews Hotel at 1500 Baltimore Avenue, 1587 Prime—named after the duo’s jersey numbers—opened its doors in September 2025 amid massive hype. Co-founded with the Noble 33 hospitality group, the venue channels Kansas City’s spirited hospitality through modern steakhouse elegance. Executive Chef Ryan Arnold’s menu already dazzles with dry-aged cuts and inventive sides, but this veterans’ special elevates it to heroic heights. Available every Tuesday through January 2026, the promotion requires proof of service for reservations, ensuring the gesture reaches those who’ve earned it most.

What has diners buzzing? The menu’s jaw-dropping array of luxuries, starting with a tableside-carved 40-ounce Wagyu Tomahawk from Snake River Farms—tender, marbled perfection priced at $345 for civilians, now free for vets. Paired with a “Mahomes Ketchup Flight” of artisanal housemade ketchups infused with everything from smoked chipotle to truffle essence, it’s a playful nod to the quarterback’s infamous steak-topping habit. For the main event, veterans can savor Japanese A5 New York strips, seared to juicy perfection and finished with compound butters like garlic-hibiscus or herb-infused bone marrow, alongside add-ons such as lobster tail or crab Oscar.

Sides steal the show too: twice-baked potatoes loaded with black truffles and aged cheddar, or lobster macaroni and cheese creamy enough to make a Midwesterner weep. Seafood lovers dive into chilled towers of oysters and king crab legs, while the “Big Red” Wagyu smash burger—honoring Chiefs coach Andy Reid—piles double patties with Kansas City secret sauce on a brioche bun. Dessert? A decadent chocolate lava cake drizzled with salted caramel, evoking the sweet victories Kelce and Mahomes chase on the field.

This isn’t just free food; it’s a statement. Kelce, fresh off a Super Bowl parade, shared in a video announcement, “These heroes deserve the best—we’re flipping the script on who’s treating whom.” Mahomes echoed the sentiment, tying it to his family’s military roots: “Kansas City stands tall because of them. This is our thank-you.” The initiative draws from broader NFL efforts, like the league’s Salute to Service campaign, but stands out for its personal touch—cocktails like the “Queen B” (a lychee Grey Goose fizz for Brittany Mahomes) and “The Alchemy” (inspired by Taylor Swift’s hit) add star power without overshadowing the cause.

Early diners rave about the experience. One veteran posted online, “Felt like royalty—Wagyu melting in my mouth, no bill at the end. Chiefs forever.” Reservations book fast via the restaurant’s app, with proceeds from non-vet nights supporting veteran charities like the Wounded Warrior Project. Amid economic strains, this gesture reminds us: luxury isn’t about price tags; it’s about recognition.

As 2025 closes, Kelce and Mahomes prove their off-field plays hit hardest. In a world of fleeting trends, 1587 Prime’s veterans’ menu endures as a flavorful salute—proof that true MVPs lift up those who’ve served.
