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
🧊 Bring extra layers: The nitrogen-based cryo hits hard—even tough folks shiver. Wear dry socks and loose shorts for whole-body sessions.
🌞 Go infrared on rainy days: Infrared heat feels best when Catskill is gloomy or after a long drive. Sweat towels and filtered water provided, but BYO flip-flops.
đź’§ Check IV event dates: IV hydration and vitamin drips are available roughly twice a month. Book ahead; slots fill up with regulars.
🦵 Pair cryo with legs: If you’re coming post-hike or workout, ask about Normatec compression—reduced muscle soreness for days after.
