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
Players highlight the long, demanding layout and new fast greens after the recent Rees Jones redesign. The course is praised for its mountain scenery and tournament feel, with fairways in solid shape even late in the season. Some guests note slow service or limited beverage carts at peak times and occasional cart path-only rules after rain. Service on and off the course is typically professional, with solid value for a high-end resort round. Dining is reliable: steaks, well-mixed drinks, and full-service options indoors after the round.
