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
Ellenville Kosher Pizza draws crowds for fresh, piping hot pies and quick plates of fries. Guests praise the friendly counter staff, large and clean space, and welcoming attitude toward both locals and summer visitors, especially larger groups and families. Ice cream is a summer favorite. While most reviewers are enthusiastic about food and hospitality, a handful complain about pricing or occasional lapses in service, but these remain outliers amidst the steady pour of five-star feedback.
