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
🍯 Whipped Butter Ritual: Order the wood-fired pita with honey butter—it anchors every table early and locals rarely skip it.
🌱 Not Just a Steakhouse: The kitchen leans into vegetables—ask about off-menu vegan or gluten-free specials.
🌅 Deck Season: Come early for a sunset seat on the outdoor deck; tables fill up quick after 6 PM, especially in summer.
🍹 Offbeat Cocktails: The spicy margarita or apple sour show up in conversation almost as often as the entrees—don’t overlook the drinks list.

What folks are saying

Based on the 50 most recent Google reviews
Silvia consistently earns praise for fresh, inventive plates and the wood-fired breads that start nearly every meal. Guests love the open kitchen, produce-forward menu, and creative cocktails. Staff are generally attentive, but some report slow or inconsistent service on busy nights. The setting is lively and beautiful, with pet-friendly deck dining. Most agree Silvia is special for date nights and occasions, though portions lean smaller and weekend crowds mean waits are common.
