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.

What folks are saying

Based on the 50 most recent Google reviews
Locals and visitors praise Colonial for its friendly staff, relaxed pace, and a nine that feels distinct on every hole. Greens run true and are kept in solid shape most seasons, with only a few wet spots after heavy rains. Scenery and mountain light steal the show, but simple bar food and PBR on the porch add to the routine. Crowds can swell for events or fireworks, but most rounds move along without rush. Occasional feedback notes basic amenities, but golfers keep coming for the laid-back feel, value, and honest golf.
