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
Reviews paint a picture of crisp house lagers, balanced sours, and clean pours that make beer fans linger for another round. Pizzas—especially seasonal specials and the sourdough crust—draw steady praise, along with well-shucked oysters and handmade pretzels. The crowd calls out the staff's blend of friendliness and quick help at the bar; it's not uncommon to see the same faces two days in a row. Most days are easygoing, but Friday and Saturday evenings fill up fast and pizza can take time. A few note wait issues during busy windows or advance orders, but for most, it’s worth settling in with a pint.
