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.

🥩 Specials Board: The chalkboard over the bar changes often—look for off-menu cuts and seasonal classics.
🍷 Real French Wines: Servers can steer you to gems from the all-French wine list; don’t hesitate to ask for a pairing.
🧈 Bread Service: Bread and butter land on every table, but ask for more—they don’t mind refilling, and it’s house tradition.

Based on the 50 most recent Google reviews
Le Canard Enchaine receives praise for its authentic French bistro experience—duck confit, cassoulet, escargot, oysters, and a well-tended wine list top many diners’ lists. Guests appreciate the expert cocktails, desserts like crème brûlée and cheesecake, and friendly, knowledgeable staff. Most diners mention the atmosphere as lively yet inviting. Occasional reviews cite slipping service or food not meeting expectations for the price, especially when busy, but many loyal patrons continue to return for classic French fare in a true Catskills setting.
