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
🥾 Best Goat Hike: Morning hikes with the goats fill quickly—sign up at check-in for a spot, especially on weekends.
🍂 Peak Foliage: Late September into mid-October brings dramatic color across the ridge by the upper pond—walk the wooded loop just before sunset.
☕ Early Coffee Tip: If you’re up before 7:30 a.m., grab a mug from your room—early coffee isn’t out until then, but there’s hot water in the relaxation lounge.
🎨 Studio Access: The 24-hour art studio means night owls can paint or make mosaics after dark—just ask staff for the access code.
