Haley's Pick 🍽️

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.

Calcutta Kitchens is praised for its vibrant, rotating menu of Indian dishes and market goods, especially the daily tiffin plates, samosas, and freshly brewed chai. Guests love the balance of flavor, use of quality ingredients, and accommodating options for vegetarians and vegans. The ever-changing offerings and house-made pickles garner repeat visits, while the market shelves provide plenty to take home. A few reviews mention prices as steeper than expected, but most agree the freshness and quality make it worthwhile. Service is typically friendly though occasionally described as brisk during peak hours.
