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
🍄 Forest Feast: Watch for “In the Wild” dinners—multi-course meals served outdoors among the trees, usually late summer and early fall.
🦆 Off-Menu Specials: The kitchen often puts out limited runs of local game and fish; don’t be afraid to ask about them.
🥃 Cocktail Staple: Foxfire’s bar is a draw on its own—try the Smoky Clocktower or any cocktail featuring local honey.
🔥 Glasshouse Spot: In chillier months, the glasshouse makes a peaceful place to sip wine and watch the last light over the pond.
