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
Restaurant Kinsley is known for imaginative cocktails, a menu shaped by local produce, and polished yet personable service—Christine and Theresa draw frequent mention. Most guests praise the smash burger, mushroom tacos, and the seasonal touches on small plates and desserts; brunch and happy hour both come up as local favorites. The setting is handsome, and the bar is a draw in itself. Some reviews note long waits or inconsistent pacing, and a few report meals that missed on execution or portion size for the price. Despite the occasional hiccup, regulars and visitors alike return for the atmosphere and the sense of occasion.
