Kevin Hart's vegan restaurants close in Los Angeles

All four of Kevin Hart’s vegan fast-food restaurants closed overnight on Wednesday in Los Angeles.

The movie actor and comedian's Hart House chain announced the immediate closures on Instagram.

“Thank you. To our team, guests, and community who helped make the change we all craved,” Hart House said in the post. “A Hartfelt goodbye for now as we start a new chapter.”

Hart, who adopted a diet of mostly plant-based foods, launched Hart House in 2022. The chain’s locations were in Hollywood, Westchester, Monrovia, and University Park.

Plant-based patties and kale salad

Hart House's menu included burgers with plant-based patties, a kale salad, french fries, tots, and "chicken" sandwiches and nuggets. Customers could also buy plant-based milkshakes.

"Our amazing chefs and amazing team members have crafted a 100% plant-based menu that delivers 'can't-believe-it' flavor in every bite," Hart wrote earlier on the restaurant's website.

There was “incredible” response to the chain’s food, Hart House CEO Andy Hooper said in a statement to Eater Los Angeles after the closures were announced.
