Following its 2022 opening, Kevin Hart's vegan restaurant brand, Hart House, has abruptly closed all its outlets.

Eater Los Angeles reports that Kevin Hart's vegan restaurant franchise, Hart House, has closed all four locations.

Hart House officially closed its doors on September 10, 2024. Hart House was an ambitious plant-based business that began in 2022 intending to provide clients throughout Los Angeles with better, more affordable food options.

Hart House was well-known for its entirely plant-based menu, which included comfort meals like chicken sandwiches and burgers free of animal ingredients, as well as items free of hormones, artificial coloring, preservatives, antibiotics, trans fats, and cholesterol. According to their website, Hart House's mission is to "create a good experience that combines the joy of coming together over food, with the power of purpose."
