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
Mirador draws praise for a sherry and vermouth list rarely seen upstate, balanced by knowledgeable, welcoming bartenders. The tapas—anchovies, pan con tomate, Spanish tortilla—are carefully made and full of character, though portion sizes run true to the spirit of classic tapas bars: small and focused. Some wish for more variety or value on the food menu, but most regulars see the spot as somewhere special for drinks, snacks, and leisurely conversation. The patio and friendly staff compensate for occasional crowding or higher prices, especially on busy nights.
