I have heard the hype around Kevin Hart's all vegan fast food restaurant and I figured I should scope it out myself. I had a blast trying their nuggets, fries, chicken sandwich, double cheeseburger, shakes and more!

EDIT: I mentioned that Hart House used Beyond burgers in their recipes but I have since learned that their “burg’r” and “chick’n” are both their own proprietary blends! So neither Beyond nor Impossible.
Oh that's awesome! :)
😱👌
To late. Ur going to burn in hell...... Mind sharing that buff sauce?
1:10 US LGBTF culture doesn't have any "taboo topics", as it promotes "all-you-can" sex, including preverse varieties.
Man I don’t ever want to live in LA but I’m SO jealous of all these amazing vegan options you guys have
We’re spoiled 🫣
LA is an amazing place to live. It used to be a working man's paradise, Socal. It's overcrowded and overpriced now but I still love my home town from afar.
@@katashley1031 oh no no hate to LA, I’m not even American. I meant that it’s so far away from me so I wouldn’t ever move there. Should have been clearer 😅
Same!
LA is awesome.
this taste test is so unhinged HAHA we need more of this
My brain is a frightening place
I really appreciate you bringing up homelessness. I just got my own place after being homeless and that really hit my heart. Thank you.
I commend you for addressing the consumerism and waste that goes into being a RUclipsr/influencer. I appreciate you addressing that you are not going to waste the food. And if you know you won’t eat it I’m sure the houseless people would be more than willing to take it off your hands. I have stopped watching people because they say they care and are aware, but still purchase things like costumes to do try on hauls. I appreciate you backing up your words with action.
Also, have you tried the vegan weed restaurant, they have the yummiest nachos and you can smoke if you choose.
And if you ever felt like a day trip to San Diego, there is a delicious raw vegan restaurant in ocean beach called PEACE PIES. They are delicious!!!! I guess I’m what you call a flexitarian. My husband and I eat and try vegan food. Grocery outlet is a good source for us to try vegan food at an affordable price so if you don’t like it you didn’t break the bank. I like the heart house and Mr Charlie’s is my favorite!!!!
Omnivore. Flexitarian is a stupidly unnecessary word.
I'm blown away about two things one I didn't know Kevin Hart owned a private restaurant and the last thing tomorrow went straight to the salad first. If you're a die-hard fan of her you would understand she is not a sad girl she just admitted but it's amazing that she actually went for it.
😂 there were at least 2 “grilled onions” that weren’t counted!!!!!!
aw MAN
Speaking to Joe Rogan on his podcast back in 2020, Hart described himself as a "plant-based eater," but also added that he does eat chicken from time to time. Hart also said that people could follow a plant-based diet without becoming "engulfed in that world.". Hart also explained that he had learned a lot about vegan sources of protein.
She literally mentions this in the video and posts the comment in question. Did you watch?
I never understand these people who think vegans should not want meat replacements. Most people go vegan or plant-based because of health reasons or ecological/ethical reasons, NOT because they just “don’t like meat”. I went plant-based for health reasons. I never LOVED meat, but I did like it. I was even keto for a long time, thinking it would help my type 2 diabetes. (It didn’t. Plant-based IS.) Do I miss meat sometimes? Yes, for sure. And that’s why I like meat replacements.
It is really nice to see you are such a humble and kind person. Thank you for the video!
Hi Merle - this is so awesome to see how happy you are with this meal and it inspires people so much to try food that you might not be used too👍😀 and right after this I will be checking you and Arias new podcast out -so thrilled to hear your points of views😉👍
Thank you so much!!
If you’re ever in Portland area you gotta try super deluxe! They make their own veggie burger and blows beyond and impossible outa the water man. It legit taste like a greasy flat top burger. They carmalize onions when frying it up with it AND put raw onion on. That’s the key. It. Tastes. So. Good. By far my favorite fast food vegetarian option.
Ooh yum! That sounds good
Thanks for the heads up! 😊 I love travelling to Portland (I live in BC) and will definitely check it out next time I’m there.
Im in Beaverton,where is that place???
I've been hesitant to try Hart House, but you totally sold me on this!
I thiink you'll really enjoy it!
Why hesitant to try a new plant based restaurant?
Gotta say I'm impressed, way to go Kevin🙌 and thanks Merle! 😊
I am a meat eater, but I do love vegan/vegetarian options every once in a while and wish this was available on the East Coast! Especially for the Nashville chicken sandwich that looked good and the nuggs! LOL 😂 and I feel the same about Beyond meat. Love their sausage, but prefer Impossible burgers. 💗
Thats like saying, hell yeah i do abuse my children but i do love me some abuseless Mondays
this is so exciting to see more and more vegan options everyday
That looks so tasty! Living vicariously through you right now haha
Can’t lie. It was bomb
I loved the first episode of the podcast. Subscribed and looking forward to more 🙌
Thanks for reviewing Hart House! I heard about it a while ago and they had plans to expand at the time but I'm not sure if it will ever make it over here to South Carolina.
*Kevin Hart just earned a ton of respect from me...i had NO idea he had any commitment to eating plant based and finding out this restaurant exists made my whole damn day.
My dad literally made that argument a few weeks ago 'what an oxymoron, if you're not eating meat why TF do the plant based products TASTE like meat'..... I think that's the stupidest question on earth. Do people really think most vegetarians and vegans made the change because they didn't like the taste of meat? No. Most of us gave up meat because it's just plain barbaric and horrid to murder animals, so it makes COMPLETE sense for meat Replacements to mimic the taste of meat... without the murder. Like, OBVI.
I agree, it’s a stupid question. And its usually not being asked in good faith. People who pose it think it’s some kind of gotcha that reveals some sad truth about vegans.
I happened upon this when I visited LA all the way from New Zealand earlier this year! It was up the road from where I stayed. I remember LOVING the shake and the spicy nuggets, but it was all superb. Glad I got to try some of the best vegan fast food LA had to offer 🙂
Great video and the stuff looks amazing! Wish we had a Hart House here in Canada (at least here in BC interior, maybe they have some in Toronto or Vancouver). This is the best commercial ever for Kevin Hart (hope he sees it). I love any chance to find out about plant-based fast food. We need more options for people like me who need to satisfy that hamburger spot craving that comes up once every two months or so but are now vegetarian. You make these takeout videos so much fun. At least I know what to hit up if I’m ever in LA. 😊
Another place that’s nearby! It goes on the list. Looked at the menu. Not a fan of mustard but I will take one for the team because the chicken sandwich does look good.
Psyched to hear that the burger is Beyond Meat. I don't if its just me, but as a long time vegan I don't really like Impossible -- although I do appreciate how popular it is.
Heme is sketchy... it just weirds me out. Beyond burgers are my *favorite*!!!
I'm so glad to see so many Beyond fans in the comments!
The new Gardein... idj if I spelled correctly... ultimate burger tastes like Beyond burgers I think. I like impossible because I can make it tast however I want doesn't have to be "flame broiled" flavor
I'm with yall Beyond > Gardien > Impossible
Yes I like Beyond much more. Also, Impossible makes me very ill, like food poisoning type symptoms. Anyone else?
I'm so glad you tried Hart House after I was yapping in the comments about it last week. I'm probably not the only one, but ... was I right, or was I right? It's amazing. I also thought the prices were great, too. I need to go visit the actual store (food truck came to work). I'm really glad you like it. And as for feeling guilty about food ... think on the other hand that you're bringing awareness to great places like this that can help people investigate vegan options!
You always make me laugh. Thank you!
Just dropping a comment to send love and increase engagement cause MERLE DESERVES IT❤
THANK YOUUUU
Yessss A Goofy Movie is my all time fave!!
Damn that food looks so good! I'm sad that I'll probably never get to taste any of this since I live in Europe. 😅
I would mail it to ya but… idk might get gross
@@MerleONeal I'm afraid it would indeed be a health hazard but I very much appreciate the sentiment 😂❤️
Loved this! Please do the vegan options at popular fast food chains: Shake Shack, Taco Bell, Burger King etc!
The world has got me really depressed now but these videos keep them coming they just make me happy!
*sending virtual hugs*
This whole menu looks amazing! Would love if you could review the menu from Amy's Drive Thru in CA 💕
dude this literally all looks amazing
I'm so jealous I want a Hart House in Canada.
Also a podcast! Yay!!!
I used to love Nashville hot chicken. Next time I'm in LA, I'm going there!!!! Thanks for the video.
Adding this to my list next time I’m in LA!
The music in a goofy movie is way better then it has any right being.
Also yes gay little me definitely had a mini crush on Roxanne
THISSSSSS
Immediately googled locations hoping (doubtfully) that there was an east coast (NY) location 💔 just gotta live vicariously through Merle
A goofy movie was and still is my favorite movie. Despite my crush on Max and Roxanne. It was the last movie I watched with my dad when he passed away last year because we always saw a parallel between our relationship and Goofy and Max’s
I tried it recently! And really liked it! The nuggs are so good!
SOO good
I’m going to LA in two days and just went vegetarian about two months ago and I cannot wait to go here
You're gonna love it
I'm not from LA but visit regularly. Here's what I would love to see: a taste test of a classic burger from each of the vegan fast food places. I know of Plant Power Fast food, this Kevin Hart restaurant, Monty's, Mr Charlie's, and I'm sure there are others. But if I'm only going to get fast food once while I'm there, which one should I get??
Great suggestion!
Definitely hit Vegan Hooligans in DTLA. Their crunch wrap is AMAZING!
This looks so good, had no idea it existed. I hope they bring one to Nor CA
🤞🏻
I am so jealous. That looks so good. Maybe they will have a location that comes out to Chicago ❤
Your test videos help ppl decide to go somewhere or not, that helps reducing foodwaste too.
The food looks so goood!!! Does anyone know if he has this in the UK cos all the options look so good ❤
As someone who used to work for “Factor” I thought I should at least tell you guys that we don’t handle your packages with care😂😅
The shake looks delicious
as a meat eater, i get impossible whoppers because i think they're better than most fast food beef burgers. so that's one vote for using impossible meat if theyre trying to draw in people like me. the beyond meat smell/taste isn't my favorite but impossible is so good in a fast food burger imo
Watching this, I laughed and cried. 💖 It made me so happy how you loved every single item on the menu and how amazing it looks but then I cried a bit when I realized good food can be 100% cruelty-free. We don't need to exploit animals for delicious and healthy food.
However, next time I'm in LA I'll definitely be stopping here more than once! Well done on the video, Merle!! 🥰🥰
My favorite genre of fast food is probably burgers! I need more vegan ones near me!!
I want to see these restaurants become chains, the easiest way to make people go vegan (and want to) is to make it accessible.
They’ve got 4 locations so far!
Fingers crossed they'll keep growing, I'd love to see one in the UK @@MerleONeal 😊
Hey cool! My sister and I recently traveled to LA and tried Hart House for the first time. I was like "did we go at the same time?!" Haha but we went on Nov.1st. It looks like the same one..did Hollywood High let out while you were filming? Lol I agree with everything you said - best vegan chicken sandwich I've had! We also tried Plant Powered fast food a couple days before. I couldn't get over their in-n-out animal style fries dupe 😍 they call "Iconic fries." Their blueberry soda was unique! I really want to try Monty's good burger and Mr. Charlie's whenever we go back..
The bite sound gets me every damn time
@MerleOneal If you haven’t already been to Donna Jeans you have to give it a roll! If you make it to San Diego you can try it here but the LA spot is fun as well. Brunch is next level there, just saying.
Happiness in a video 🫶🏾
Aw im so glad
Even though I am from England and don't have the same options available that you do, I would love to see a vegan fast food ranking video! I know there was one on the will not be named channel, but I would love to see one be done here!
Something like you did with Tabitha Brown a while ago!
Lololol "the chicken frolicked in the kale patch.."
I loved the goofy movie! Still one of my favourites! Wish there was vegan restaurants like that in the U.K. ☹️
I haven't thought of Friendly's in decades! Wow, memories...
Right? The red booths, the carpeting, the shakes..
@@MerleONeal The weird smell that I never managed to describe🤣
I am freaking out too!
I’ve been waiting for you to review this place. I’m going to have to catch a flight ✈️
Worth it, tbh
Merle, I was touched by how you spoke about unhoused people. I was homeless in Seattle for about four years. I can tell you’re very socially aware just by the nuanced language. People often speak about people who are homeless/unhoused in a very dehumanizing way so I just want to let you know I appreciate you. The homelessness crisis isn’t your fault and can’t be solved by you alone (so don’t feel too bad), but if there’s anything you can do, I think just voting for political candidates who prioritize affordable housing and living wages is really important. Avoid candidates who take a “tough on crime” stance. Vote for candidates who are compassionate toward people with substance use disorder. Forced rehabilitation is mass incarceration in disguise. Vote for social programs/a robust social safety net. Don’t be fooled by candidates who just want to build a bunch of temporary shelters/tiny house villages but have no long term plan for helping people live dignified lives. We need real systemic change. We need to give people adequate tools and resources to help themselves, not take them into facilities against their will so the government can just hide them and make the streets look “clean”. Okay, I’ll get off my soap box! 😊
I wish you could try the temple of seitan in the UK you would love it!!! They have really spicy chick’n
Absolutely delicious-looking!
If you are ever in the Dallas-Fort Worth area of Texas, I want you to come and try the restaurant I work out. It’s called Spiral Diner
Merle, you should point out that Factor is owned by HelloFresh.
Loving the green, you did dress accordingly!
I need to try hart house someday
Nice circles pops
Omg am such a bb right now, I’m super not ready for a relationship 😢😊
I've never wanted to try a place so bad!!!! I'm all the way in Canada. I love beyond meat more because of the aftertaste 😂
another great video Merle and thanks for acknowledging the privilege of being a food critic, I too love and hate and passionately rank foods/restaurants, but of course, we are very privileged to do so. I always say food is a beautiful art and it should always be delicious!
Now I want grilled onions 😂
was going to check this out when I'm in LA next month, no way I'm driving 90 minutes for fast-food, I'll stay in Laguna beach
This makes me homesick, lol. Hoping he expands to Chicago.
1:41 no mention of the animals, yeesh
Wish we had vegan fast food in Colorado, specifically NOCO. Not that we would eat like that all the time, but it would be a nice option for when I was being lazy. Kevin Hart - who knew???
I'm in Colorado too and have been so bummed that del taco discontinued their beyond tacos. The Chick-fil-A near me also had the cauliflower sandwich for a short time and then that stopped, after I became obsessed. Taco bell doesn't seem to even care to try a plant based meat (huge bummer) so the only fast food options were left with are the Starbucks impossible sausage egg and cheese (omg so good, if you haven't tried it, you HAVE to), the burger King impossible whopper (always hits) and the black bean burger at good times. Oh, and shake shack and jersey mike's offer portobello sandwiches. I'm almost insulted, in addition to sadly disappointed, that more restaurants can't care enough about animals or at least the people who care enough about animals not to eat them, to offer these options. Especially given that impossible and beyond have come out with SO much and plenty of people want it.
You missed two “grilled onions” lol! But… GRILLED ONIONS! ♥️
I’ve never been to Cali let alone LA but the food did look really good! Didn’t even know Kevin had a resturant! I’ll keep it all in mind 👀
I think they put some kinda wacky 'baccy, or something in there. Merle was high on food!
OK new target acquired for next time I'm visiting LA!
Yesss you must try!
please come to New Zealand
The first positive review of a Kevin Hart product i trust.
I'm honored!
The only beyond burger I have liked has been from tgi fridays. I was also never really a burger girl though.
This was a fun ride!😂
You should go to sugar taco!
I will never eat impossible. Heme is tooooo sketchy. I love the beyond meat choice. This looks like heaven.
In Portland we have a burger spot called NLB that does plant based sliders and shakes- but the burgers are more "designer", and they dont have chicken... mmmm those nugs and the chicken sandwich looks like heaven. Even if slaw is a sin on a chicken sandwich.
I think they have chik'n sandwiches.
Hart House makes their own recipe, they don't use Beyond or Impossible.
I wish I lived near LA because of the sun and food. I’m in the Midwest😭
I feel you about the homelessness that’s going on in this country. It hurts my heart.
Those fake crunch slurp noises are not my ear’s friend, lol.
“kevin i’m coming for ya tots”
“i shouldn’t be saying that. that’s weird”
LOL
That sauce looks tasty
Thank you for acknowledging your privilege and using your platform to share a good message 🎉🎉🎉
I love that you don't alienate or shame vegetarians and meat eaters on your show. As an omnivore I practice moderation and environmental considerations in how I prepare our meals. I feel like a lot of people mistake vegan meals as a black or white issue, but we try to balance plant based meals and reduce our meat (especially beef) intake
I personally prefer beyond meat over impossible, I liked meat my whole life but was never into the like "bloodiness", or ground beef in general, was more into lean steak or chicken. Beyond is nice cause its not exactly the same as beef and I feel its seasoned a bit better. I'm glad they both exist for everyones preferances. I also like that beyond is not soy cause lord knows I already consume an insane amount of tofu lol, I appreciate the varience of protein source haha
Question: what do you do to actually verify sustainability claims by the corporations you promote?
Merle, I just started Eating " Faux" Meats a couple of years ago. I've been Plant Based or Vegetarian since, 1994. I, didn't think " I'd like the Taste, of " Faux" Meats. I, have only really have tried Beyond Meat Burgers, Morning Star Corn Dogs, Lite Life Hot Dogs & Soy Chorizo to name a few. I, love Beyond Meat Burgers. Especially, from Carl's Jr. with No Cheese or Sauce. I, come Home & Dress, it up with Vegan BBQ Sauce & sometimes a Plant Based Cheese. I'm kinda scared to try Impossible Meats! I've heard it has Hiem in it from Plants to mimic the Taste, of Real Beef. So, I'm on Fence, because that may gross me out!!!
Kevin Hart also has a vegan supplement powder called Vita Hustle.
Vegan Asian food ( Indian, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, ext.) but everything is so good when is vegan, plant based and it is so convenient to find a recipe and boom 💥 ( vegan oxtail, Cajun/Creole )
I adore how weird you are. It got tap and jazz lessons 😭. Also you missed 2-3 grilled onion mentions!
Now I want to go there just to try this and I am in Europe 😂
Boat/road trippppp
Grilled onions just gained 100k followers from this.
Does Tabatha Brown have a restaurant in LA??
The price was actually good for what you get!!!
