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
.svg)
Based on the 50 most recent Google reviews
Guests overwhelmingly praise Graziano’s for bold, homemade Italian dishes and a chef-owner who cooks with flair right in front of diners. Handmade pastas—especially seafood linguine and pappardelle ragù—are repeatedly called standouts, with creative vegan and vegetarian options available by request. Many say the atmosphere feels like a lively meal at a friend’s kitchen table, and portions are generous. Service is often just one or two people, making for slow meals on busy nights but with warmth and attention. The setting is informal, sometimes with folding tables, and parking can be a challenge. A few reviews note long waits during rushes or basic decor, but most agree the food far outshines any rough edges.
