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
Most regulars highlight friendly bartenders and kitchen favorites like wings, burgers, and the Chop Shop Salad. Karaoke Fridays and DJ sets are local rituals, with the crowd running lively late into the weekend. Prices are sometimes called high for a bar setting, but daily specials soften the pinch. A few reviews mention noisy nights and slow service when the place is packed, but overall the draw is strong for its genuine staff, reliable plates, and community roots.
