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
🥾 Windham Path: The entry to the Windham Path is a short walk from the hotel—ask staff for detailed directions since signs can be confusing.
🔥 Outdoor Fire Pits: Bring marshmallows for the fire pits on the deck—they’re stocked with wood most evenings year-round.
🥐 Croissant Timing: Get to the breakfast room early if you want fresh croissants before they run out, especially during ski season weekends.
🏡 The Cabin: The stand-alone Cabin books months ahead for winter and leaf season; large families should call direct to secure it.

Based on the 50 most recent Google reviews
Guests praise the mountain views, friendly service, and consistently spotless rooms. The continental breakfast—especially the croissants—gets love from regulars, and the indoor pool and sauna are well-kept. Most reviews mention a relaxed staff and dog-friendly vibe but note all rooms are up a flight of stairs. Some find the water pressure and older jacuzzi tubs not ideal. Complaints are rare but the hotel is strict on occupancy limits and not wheelchair friendly.
