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
🌅 Dawn Start: Early tee times before 8:00 AM offer the calmest pace—mist off the lake and empty fairways.
🍃 Soft Fairways: After rain, expect slower rolls and muddy edges—bring an extra ball or two.
👟 Gentle Walk: Most holes are an easy hike, but number 7’s climb gives up the best overlook.
🌤️ Twilight Savings: Post-4 PM rates make for a relaxed, golden-hour round with no crowds.
What folks are saying

Based on the 50 most recent Google reviews
Most players come for the mountain setting and peaceful pace rather than perfect turf. Greens roll slowly but fair. Staff get high marks for patience and local welcome, even as facilities are in gentle transition. Food at the lodge is straightforward and filling. Rounds run quick on summer evenings and midweek, but weekends right after breakfast can be slow. Some fairways run soft after big storms, but the course lets you take your time and soak up the scenery.
