Near the New York-Connecticut border, Hubba's catered to the local bar scene by staying open until 5:00 am on the weekends, and at least 3:00 am on weeknights.

[citation needed] The restaurant was originally known as "Texas Quick Lunch", and was owned by Edna Kaplan and operated by Mildred Meade.

Pat Carta bought the storefront location of the former Texas Quick Lunch in 1989 and changed the name to "Ricks orange", the same as his original restaurant in the "Chickahominy" section of Greenwich, Connecticut.

[1] Due to damage sustained from flooding during Hurricane Ida on September 1st of 2021, the restaurant was forced to close until it could be renovated.

While most areas call the establishment by its present name, "Hubba's"; the residents of certain nearby communities, such as Larchmont, Mamaroneck, and New Rochelle, still use the name "Pat's".
