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
🍀 Quiet Mondays: Mondays and early afternoons tend to be slower; best time for a relaxed pint or quick lunch without the crowd.
🎱 Game Nights: Pool and darts are busiest after dinner—locals often claim tables by 7:00 PM, so plan ahead if that’s your thing.
☘️ Irish Fare Drop-Ins: Watch for surprise live bagpipers and events around St. Patrick’s Day and other Irish holidays.
🧥 Patio Note: Outdoor tables are best claimed before sunset; bring a jacket even in summer for that Catskills night air.

Based on the 50 most recent Google reviews
Crowds appreciate the pub’s friendly staff, quick pours, and straightforward comfort food. There’s love for the Guinness pour, pool table, and attentive service—even at busy hours. Some think drink prices run steep and pub portions don’t always stack up to the check. Food quality is a mixed bag—shepherd’s pie and sliders win fans, but a few find dishes underseasoned or inconsistent. The space and atmosphere get solid marks, though noise and crowd levels climb fast on live-music or sports nights.
