Pat's Hubba Hubba, Late-night chili restaurant in Port Chester, New York.
Pat's Hubba Hubba is a small restaurant in Port Chester specializing in homemade chili, with seating limited to around 13 stools along the counter. The walls are decorated with paper plates from the menu and dollar bills, giving the place its distinctive character.
The restaurant was originally called Texas Quick Lunch before Pat Carta purchased and renamed it in 1989. Following this transition, it grew into an established fixture of Port Chester's nighttime dining scene.
The place has become a gathering spot for night owls over the decades, where people meet after concerts or nights out to share a meal. The walls display handwritten messages and names from visitors, turning it into a meeting point for the local community.
The restaurant stays open late into the night and especially on weekends, making it a popular spot after events. With only a handful of seats, visitors should expect to wait in line or stand outside during busy times.
The house serves 'Hubba Water', a local specialty made by mixing tap water with Hawaiian Punch, available only here. This simple drink has become a signature of the place and is expected by regular customers.
