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
Golfers rave about the course’s forgiving layout and well-kept fairways, praising the quick greens and lakeside scenery that define several holes. The value is often called out—reasonable fees with cart, plus solid post-round burgers at the clubhouse. Pace is good except for busy afternoons; weekend mornings fill quickly. Some reviews note repeated issues with front-desk staff being short or brusque, but on the whole, players find the maintenance strong and the play fair. Bunkers and sand traps get mixed marks, but most leave talking about the setting and the quality-to-price ratio.
