Kevin Hart’s Vegan Restaurant Hart House Closes All Locations
Kevin Hart’s vegan fast-food chain, Hart House, has closed all its locations after just two years.
“To our team, guests, and community, who helped make the change we all craved. A Hartfelt goodbye for now as we start a new chapter,” the restaurant wrote on its official Instagram Tuesday.

Hart House had four locations in Los Angeles County, including Westchester, Monrovia, University Park and Hollywood. The menu featured plant-based burgers, “chicken” sandwiches and nuggets, salads, tater tots, milkshakes and more.
“The response to the product has been incredible, and we thank our committed team, our customers, and our community partners for helping make the change we all craved, and for their unwavering support of Hart House,” CEO Andy Hooper shared in a statement to Eater LA.
Hart told The Hollywood Reporter in August 2022, ahead of the plant-based restaurant chain’s opening, that he wanted “to give people a plant-based option” with Hart House after noticing a lack of vegan choices in the world of fast food. The actor and comedian previously revealed in 2020 that he had adopted a mostly plant-based diet.
“If I can give people a place to have the option that’s placed smack dab in the middle of where your McDonald’s, Chick-fil-A, and Burger King [are], people may see a Hart House and say, ‘I’m going to go plant-based today,” Hart added at the time.
The reason for the closures has not been publicly announced. THR reached out to Hart’s rep for comment.
