Those who can’t make it out to Westchester, meanwhile, can get a fresh serving of Hart on Netflix, where the actor’s raunchy new comedy, “Me Time,” co-starring Regina Hall and Wahlburgers co-owner Mark Wahlberg, is now streaming. Hart — whose larger plan is to open 10 restaurants in the next 12 months — partnered with restaurateur Hooper and chef Mike Salem, who helped launch the plant-based Impossible Whopper at Burger King. Guests have options to "Turn Up the Heat" and make a burg'r or chick'n sandwich spicier, and dippin' sauces? So far, Hooper says there have been six leases signed to put Hart House in more locations, with plans to open 10 to 12 in California alone by the end of next year. The next location — set to open soon — will be located off of Sunset Boulevard and Highland Avenue and will feature a drive-through. Hart says he hopes to eventually see locations in San Francisco, Las Vegas, Atlanta, Florida and even his hometown of Philadelphia.

Leading L.A. vegan restaurant goes un-vegan. ‘I knew the vitriol that would come my way’

All ingredients are 100% plant-based and are free of cholesterol, antibiotics, hormones, artificial colors, preservatives, high-fructose corn syrup, or trans fats. The delicious menu appeals to everyone, by featuring plant-based burg'rs, chick'n sandwiches, salads, nuggets, fries, tots and milkshakes without sacrificing craveability for conviction. Kevin Hart, Hart House CEO, Andy Hooper, and Head of Culinary Innovation, Chef Mike Salem, have come together to disrupt the quick-service industry with offerings that serve as plant-based alternatives affordable and accessible to all.

Such items have so far skewed more expensive than standard proteins. The key to doing so, he said, is serving “absolutely delicious, craveable food” that appeals to vegans and carnivores alike. The prolific actor-comedian opened his first plant-based, fast-food restaurant called Hart House on Thursday in the Westchester neighborhood of Los Angeles near the city’s airport.

Kevin Hart’s Plant-Based Restaurant Hart House Opens in Los Angeles

For us, the menu design and the simplification of it were all very intentional. We wanted to really make a statement that a true plant-based concept could be successful in the quick-service space. The company joins a string of other quick-service concepts that are trying to scale nationally with plant-based alternatives to fast-food staples like burgers and chicken sandwiches. It could be a turning point for the category, which has been buzzy but also fairly niche; according to data from wellness-focused data firm SPINS, the total plant-based food market represented about $7.4 billion in revenue in 2021, up 6% over the previous year.

“This is an absolute dream come true….Los Angeles please come out and give our amazing food a try….I promise we will not disappoint!!!!! I can’t wait to hear ur thoughts on all of our amazing food items,” the 43-year-old comic wrote Wednesday on Instagram, a day before the Westchester location opened. Hart House is currently building out two other stores, with Hart House Chief Executive Andy Hooper telling Eater LA that one of them will be the chain’s future flagship location at Sunset and Highland, just south of where the Oscars are held each year.

We probably have about 45 active new deals that we’re working on right now. That includes Southern California inclusive of San Diego and then also the D.C. A lot of it stems from Kevin Hart going through a rehabilitation process as part of an accident that he was in several years ago. His dietician recommended that he start incorporating some plant-based alternatives to meat products in his diet. But when he was on the road traveling, there really wasn’t anywhere that he could consistently get plant-based meat alternatives that were accessible and reasonably priced. The plant-based restaurant wars are getting a major new contender later this month, as Hart House — launched by actor and comedian Kevin Hart — is preparing to open its first location in Los Angeles.

Take an inside look at Kevin Hart’s plant-based quick service restaurant above and head over to Hart House’s website for more information. Hart said he and his team aim to "disrupt" the fast-food industry with affordable, "can't-believe-it," healthy alternatives. The first Hart House location opened Thursday in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Westchester, a short walk from the In-N-Out by LAX. Video posted on Hart’s Instagram Stories showed what looked like hundreds of people lined up waiting to order from a menu featuring sandwiches in the $5-$7 range. Actor Kevin Hart is preparing to make a big statement on one of LA's busiest fast-food stretches. On Tuesday, May 23, Hart House opens its flagship location on the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Highland Avenue, with a fast-food plant-based menu and drive-thru.

Hart House has several locations already in the pipeline in Southern California, Hooper said, with national expansion planned for the coming years. Hart House has plans to open two additional restaurants (currently under construction), with leases signed to reach its plans of as many as ten restaurants over the next twelve months. Hart House plans to open 10 restaurants within the next 12 months, the company said. The 3,000-square-foot, Westchester locale offers indoor and outdoor seating, along with a colorful mural reading, “Change You’ll Crave,” designed by artist Nicollete Santos, who also has created works for Harley Davidson, Marvel and Nike, management said. Christie D’Zurilla is an assistant editor for entertainment news on the Fast Break team.

Hart felt the need to create a healthy space within the fast-food spectrum that’s affordable for customers. There are several other plant-based, fast-food options located throughout Los Angeles, but Hart House’s approach is to serve quality food with sandwiches and burgers that are within the $5-$7 price range — less than competitors. That’s what Kevin Hart is about,” he said in an interview before the restaurant’s official opening, which got off to a strong start with long lines of customers throughout the day.

They are committed to bringing positive change to the lives of those who serve and those who they serve. The new concept is also passionate about helping the larger community and will be donating 10% of opening day proceeds to Inner City Arts. The new concept is also passionate about helping the larger community and will be donating 10% of opening day proceeds to Inner City Arts.

Today, Hart House has about 45 deals in the works for restaurants across Southern California, Atlanta and Washington, D.C. “When Kevin drives himself to the restaurant, parks in front of the restaurant, walks in the front door and is like ‘I’m here, let’s do this, let’s start orientation,’ I think that sends a really strong message about the level of commitment that he has to it,” Hooper said. Aside from its healthy alternatives, Hart House is pledging to the care of its employees with living wages and best-in-class benefits, and supporting the larger community by donating 10 percent of its opening day proceeds to Inner City Arts.

The space brings vibrant colors, a fresh design, and the iconic "Eat Your Hart Out" neon sign to Hollywood. Additionally, Hart House commissioned artist Olivia Sawai, whose past work includes murals for Starbucks, to create a mural along a wall in the drive-thru. Additional highlights include a newly landscaped property with preservation of existing palm trees and a rainwater retention system that recycles water so it can be used for landscaping. In August 2022, the first Hart House — a quick service, plant-based restaurant started by actor and comedian Kevin Hart — opened in Los Angeles, a short walk from the In-N-Out by LAX airport.

The menu includes plant-based burgers, chicken sandwiches and chicken nuggets with six sauce options. Two salads (caesar and kale crunch), french fries and tater tots are also available. "We are on a mission to create a sustainable restaurant brand that is grounded in high quality jobs and objectively delicious food, with a menu that happens to be made entirely from plants," said Hart House CEO, Andy Hooper. "We believe it's time to usher in a new era of fast food in Hollywood that matches up against the titans of the industry." The first thing is to have an unlimited amount of knowledge about who you are as a concept. You truly need to understand who you are, what you stand for, what your brand is about, who you want to be, how you want to be perceived and how you want to be positioned within the market.
