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.

🍟 Food truck window: The lunch rush is quick, but after 7:00 PM food can run out on busy nights; order food first if hungry.
⏱️ Quiet stretch: Best time for a low-key pint is before 3:00 PM Tuesday through Thursday—late afternoons get lively fast.
🥶 Bring layers: Warehouse stays cool even in summer and can get drafty; extra jacket helps if sitting close to a bay door.

Based on the 50 most recent Google reviews
Hudson Brewing wins locals and travelers for friendly bartenders, a varied beer list, and a lively, always-busy industrial taproom. People praise the fresh pours, rotating events, and a surprisingly robust lineup of cocktails or frozen drinks. Food is hit or miss depending on the food truck and time of day—smash burgers and BBQ get high marks, but some bar snacks can run plain. Dogs are welcomed, the crowd is easygoing, and there's room to spread out even on packed afternoons, though weekend lines at the bar and food truck can get long. A Catskill hangout through and through.
