After careful consideration of multiple paths forward, we have made the difficult choice to close Hubbaloo Restaurant. Our final day of service will be Saturday, January 17th.

This choice was not made lightly. Our long-term commitment to this property and to our beloved Flat Rock community remains strong, and we believe this course of action reflects thoughtful stewardship - not retreat. Most importantly, the closure of Hubbaloo does not diminish our belief in the future of this place or the people who make it special.

Going forward, the Hubbaloo space will continue to be actively used in ways that keep it vibrant and productive. It will support catering and private events for the other restaurants on the property, and we anticipate offering off-season, to-go selections from Hubba Hubba. This adaptive use allows the space to remain relevant and supportive of the broader ecosystem at Rainbow Row, ensuring it continues to serve both our guests and our community.

Bottom line: we may be down, but we are not out.

We are also deeply committed to our team members during this transition. Where possible, staff will be offered opportunities within other restaurants on the property, or we will assist with their next steps.

For our guests who have supported Hubbaloo with gift cards, please know that Hubba Hubba Smokehouse will honor all outstanding Hubbaloo gift cards.

Above all, we are grateful.

To our local patrons: thank you for supporting Hubbaloo through a challenging launch post-Helene and for welcoming us with curiosity and kindness.

To our employees: we are profoundly proud of your dedication to great food and exceptional service. You brought this place to life.

To the Flat Rock community: thank you for your encouragement, your patience, and your belief in what we are building here.

Hubbaloo’s chapter may be ending, but the story of this property and our commitment to this community continues. We look forward to what comes next, and we hope you will continue that journey with us.
