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.

🍏 Apple Season: September brings orchard views in full swing—and sometimes a stray apple on the green.
💨 Ridge Wind: Prevailing wind blows west to east, so plan your approach shots accordingly.
⭐ Twilight Deal: Look for late-day twilight specials starting after 3:30 PM in summer—just enough daylight for a brisk nine.
What folks are saying

Based on the 50 most recent Google reviews
Golfers praise the sweeping views across orchards and the Hudson Valley, and fairways kept in good shape year after year. Layout is approachable for newer players yet interesting for regulars with three nines and plenty of elevation change. Many quick to note the greens run slower after rain but otherwise roll true. Staff feedback is mixed—some rounds marked by friendly welcomes, while others cite a strict approach to pace and a hard no on non-golfing companions riding along. The grill gets nods for quick sandwiches and fair prices. Weekend pace slows up midday, but early and late tee times still move. High handicappers thrive, single digits find shots to shape, and nearly everyone leaves with at least a few apples.
