Sun cuts across the painted tile, lighting up bread baskets and mugs of coffee on every table. Early crowds drift from the Amtrak, grabbing a seat or heading for the pastry case. By noon, the market shelves and bar start to hum with conversation from locals, daytrippers, and regulars alike.
What to Expect:
🥪 The breakfast sandwich (egg and cheese, optional hash brown) is locally famous and comes with a side of strong coffee
🍩 Sweet counter stocked with crullers, tarts, and the occasional scone or specialty bake
🔥 Crisp-skinned rotisserie chicken available for lunch and dinner (when they haven't run out)
🍹 Small but sharp cocktail list, lots of amaro, and a few harder-to-find spirits
🛒 Market stocked with fresh breads, pantry goods, and a handful of rare finds
Important Information:
✔ Reservations accepted for dinner service, but breakfast and lunch are first come, first served
✔ Wheelchair accessible entrance, seating, and restroom; gender-neutral restroom available
✔ Counter service during the day, seated dining for evenings; outdoor tables in back for nice weather
✔ Directly across from Hudson’s Amtrak station—extremely convenient for travelers

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
🚆 Amtrak Shortcut: Trains let out right across the street—many regulars grab breakfast before boarding or bringing something along for the ride.
🌳 Backyard Retreat: The hidden picnic tables in back are best for slow brunches or keeping to yourself during the day rush.
🍩 Save a Cruller: House-made crullers go fast (sometimes before noon). Ask when you walk in if you want one held for you.
🍸 Cocktail List: The bar side features a tight, well-chosen cocktail menu with rotating specials and rare amari you won’t find nearby.

What folks are saying
.svg)
Based on the 50 most recent Google reviews
Kitty’s draws consistent praise for its breakfast sandwich, market selection, and strong coffee—regulars talk up the hash browns and the uniquely griddled baked goods. Rotisserie chicken wins raves when available, though they sometimes run out. The market shelves and pastry case are often described as oddly irresistible. Service draws divided opinions: many guests mention warm, efficient hospitality, but slow lines or brusk counter service are not uncommon, especially during peak hours. Crowd and energy shift from relaxed mornings to lively evenings. Prices run high for some, but most return for the food and location.
