Haley's Review of Riot BBQ
Riot BBQ on South Delaware feels like a backyard cookout run by a Top Chef, because it is. Chef Manny Barella and pitmaster Patrick Klaiber have teamed up to blend Monterrey flavors with Texas-style smoke, and the results are seriously craveable.
The brisket steals the show: tender, deeply smoky, and finished with Barella’s bold spice rub. Get it solo or wrapped in buttery Raquelita tortillas. The pulled pork brings heat with ancho, guajillo, and morita chiles, and the al pastor ribs are sticky, sweet, and slightly charred in all the right ways.
Even the sides are insanely good! Think crunchy pepita-macha slaw and banana pudding served in a jar that tastes just like childhood (but better). Every bite feels intentional.
It’s barbecue with heart, history, and just the right amount of heat. Riot BBQ isn’t just a meal, it’s a moment worth lining up for.

Abby's Restaurant & Bar draws a steady crowd for its classic diner comfort, with generous portions and breakfast served all day. Guests rave about the salad bar, friendly staff, and quick service, consistently noting the value and quality of standbys like chicken parm, prime rib, and burgers. The strong coffee and relaxed atmosphere make it a favorite for travelers and locals alike, though a few reviews mention outdated interior style and occasional wait times during peak breakfast hours. Minor critiques about small details (lighting, ketchup quality, rare restroom issues) appear, but most diners leave satisfied and plan to return.
