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
Roscoe Beer Co. draws steady praise for its friendly staff, active tap lineup, and easy, laid-back setting. Guests highlight the porch and picnic-table scene, the well-poured flights, and a menu full of loaded fries, wings, and local trout. The house-brewed root beer and sizable sampler paddles score points for families and drivers. Beer selection is broad, with both malty and crisp lagers standing out; complaints about plastic cups and some food pricing emerge occasionally, and diners sometimes wish for wait service on busy weekends. Still, most feel the beer, music, and pet-welcoming patio make it a worthwhile stop, especially for group hangs.
