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
Cafe Mutton is celebrated for its vibrant, inventive food—guests rave about the constantly changing menu, where crepes, omelettes, charcuterie, and brunch specials shine. Friendly, attentive staff and a lively, casual atmosphere draw both locals and out-of-towners. Brunch is especially crowded, and diners love the quality of pastries and the range of flavors from delicate to bold. Some note higher prices and occasional long waits or the charge for second coffee refills, but the energy and integrity of the place keeps regulars and newcomers coming back.
