The first Chart House was opened in Aspen, Colorado in 1961 by Joey Cabell and his partner Buzzy Bent. Joey and Buzzy opened their second restaurant in Newport Beach, California in 1963. In February 1968, Joey opened the Chart House Waikiki as the sole owner. He subsequently sold his interest in the mainland stores, retaining only the land and building of the Aspen site.
This restaurant was nearly destroyed in December 1975, by a fire that swept the building. The management and employees worked for one year to rebuild the Chart House and reopen in 1976.
In August 2020, the Chart House temporarily closed due to COVID. Joey has persevered once more to reopen again in April 2021 for the 53rd year, this time with a new strong partnership.
We have for many years been friends with and worked together with the owners, management, and employees of the “Chart House Chain”, as it has come to be called. However, we are the only independent store and were, of course, the original Chart House in Hawaii.
We pride ourselves on being the original and being owned by the man who created the Chart House concept. We certainly hope that as a new Chart House employee, you too will be proud of the establishment for which you now work. We look forward to having you with us for a long time!
