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.

Based on the 50 most recent Google reviews
Guests praise Arrowood’s wide-open space, creative tap list, and lively event schedule—especially outdoor concerts and lazy afternoons. The beer is reliably fresh, and spirits and NA options get high marks. Family and dog friendliness is a recurring note. Staff are described as relaxed and helpful, but weekend waits for food can be long, and some concert nights bring steep prices. Some critiques target food consistency and communication about hours, but regulars keep coming for the land, music, and local brews.
