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.

Local Insights
🍳 Monday mornings: Breakfast is quieter on Mondays, when crowds thin and the crew lingers over coffee.
🌊 Deck views: Ask for a table outside on the deck—sunset over the Esopus Creek is a local favorite.
🐶 Dog menu: The patio doesn’t just allow pups—they have an actual menu for dogs during warmer months.
🥃 Off-menu whiskey: Ask the bartender about special whiskeys not always listed; the bar takes pride in their pours.
