A quick stop at Pat’s Hubba Hubba in Stamford was more pleasant to the eye than the palate. I grew up in NJ with tons of places like this offering basic hamburger, hot dogs and shakes. In our day you could actually order a malted but the calorie police are probably pushing for Mayor Bloomberg to outlaw them. The brightly decorated interior is a throwback to my youth. ANd so were the burgers.

I know its a burger joint offering a quick fix for a few bucks and that is exactly what it is. An inexpensive place serving cheap burgers and fries. It is sustenance not haute cuisine.

If you are looking for some greasy burgers and fries after a night of drinking on Bedford, this may fit, but this is not a destination on the GPS.
