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
Guests love Oliver’s for its English pub spirit, creative pies, and drinks that suit both a fireside night and a summer afternoon. The hand pies, chicken pot pie, and bangers and mash are consistently praised, as are the locally sourced cocktails and thoughtful wine list. The cozy, historic setting—with fireplace and parlor games—earns special mention. While a handful mention hiccups with bar service or food timing, most find the hospitality genuine and quick to remedy small slips. Accessibility, vegetarian options, and quality across the menu draw steady compliments.
