Haley's Pick 🍽️

You probably know her as @milehighandhungry. Each week, Haley shares the one place she’s obsessed with right now. From hidden gems to hot new openings, if she picks it, it’s worth the hype.

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

🍳 Breakfast Secret: Don’t miss the morning olive oil cake and eggs—locals say breakfast is as good as dinner at Matilda.

🪴 Rooftop Escape: The roof deck blooms late spring to fall, and is one of the best spots for sunset and stargazing in town.

🚶‍♂️ Quiet Walks: Early risers slip out the back gate to catch fog moving through the valley—skip the main road for the garden path.

🛁 Infrared Sauna: The sauna and stretch room can be reserved at the desk—ask about evening sessions after a hike.

What folks are saying

Based on the 50 most recent Google reviews
Guests consistently point to standout hospitality, spotless and beautifully designed rooms, and breakfasts that anchor each morning. The restaurant earns strong praise for inventive menus and a solid wine list. The gardens and rooftop deck are favorite gathering spots. Staff are described as genuine, attentive, and quietly on top of things. The only recurring drawbacks are the lack of an elevator, step-heavy layout due to historic bones, and minimal in-room fridge space.
