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
🍕 Pizza Pro Tip: The pizza is best on the early side before the rush—after 6:30 PM, expect a wait when the kitchen is slammed.
🎶 Live Music Nights: Most weekends feature live performers—call or check Instagram for the schedule if music matters to you.
🥩 Off-Menu Specials: Ask about nightly kitchen specials not printed—sometimes wild boar, boar ragu, or a house-cured sausage make an appearance.
🍷 Whisky & Wine: The bar stocks a deeper whiskey and wine list than you’d guess. Ask the bartender for a local spirits pick or reserve wine tip.
