The Hodge Podge Shop spills over with old light, creek views out back, and stacks of goods that brush past every decade. The stories float as easy as the dust motes, and the owner knows them all.
What to Expect:
🧭 Rows and piles of antiques, collectibles, housewares, farm finds, tools, and advertising signs
🐱 Friendly shop cats dash between aisles—ask for Cowgirl

Important Information:
✔ Estate/yard/barn pick sourcing with few price tags—most marked by negotiation, not pre-packaged staging

✔ Two shop cats on patrol—animal allergies beware
✔ No formal holds or layaway; cash-and-carry for most items; occasional help loading bigger pieces if Ray’s around

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
Locals rave about the depth and variety of the selection, calling out fair or even low prices and the shop’s charismatic owner. Most visitors enjoy the hunt and the shop cats, though the unfiltered volume and cluttered aisles appear in both warnings and praise—it’s a picker’s haven more than a staged boutique. A few remarks on tough navigation and dust, but much affection for the neighborly spirit, help finding unusual items, and that you should plan to spend real time to dig.

Go early in the day for the best shot at new arrivals, especially after estate clear-out weekends. Weekdays are quieter, weekends are a treasure hunt.
