Haley's Pick 🍽️

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

🌳 Favorite Trail: Head for the Arnold House Loop Trail out back—an easy walk for morning air or letting the dog roam.

🥚 Late Breakfast: If you miss breakfast in the games room, the tavern will usually whip up something for you before noon.

🎤 Greenhouse Nights: Live music, open-mics, or wedding dance parties often spill out into the greenhouse—ask staff what’s on deck.

🪟 Summer Breeze: Main house windows open wide for the mountain air, but Garden House rooms keep things quieter if light sleepers need it.
