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
🥧 Save Room for Pie: The house pies and bread pudding tend to vanish on weekends—order dessert with your meal if you want a sure slice.
🍻 Bar’s a Scene: Regulars post up early at the bar for cocktails and quick plates—grab a stool if you’re flying solo.
⚡ Brunch Moves Fast: Early brunch is calmer; after noon it can be a squeeze for a table, especially in summer.
🥗 Vegetarian Surprises: Ask staff about off-menu vegetarian plates, which rotate with local farm deliveries.

Miss Lucy's Kitchen is beloved for its well-made comfort food, especially the fried chicken, brisket, and housemade desserts. Guests highlight the fresh, local ingredients, energetic setting, and consistently friendly service. The crowd notes a busy dining room, especially on weekends, so expect a bustling meal and sometimes a bit of a wait for a table. A few mention portion sizes for some entrees, but most agree the flavors, strong drinks, and lively small-town atmosphere keep folks returning year after year.
