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.

What folks are saying

Based on the 50 most recent Google reviews
Frequent praise for the ever-changing selection and a shopkeeper who’s friendly, talkative, and lets shoppers browse at their own pace. Pricing is seen as fair-to-modest for older pieces, with some great deals on lamps and local memorabilia. The shop can feel dense and a bit disorganized, but that’s part of the digging experience. Some frustration about inconsistent open times—best to call ahead. Goods are mostly in well-used but solid condition; die-hard hunters come hoping for the next big estate haul.
