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
Guests rave about the pristinely clean, spacious rooms, strong sense of character, and welcoming hosts who respect privacy but remain helpful. Many highlight the blend of vintage charm with modern comfort—deep beds, fresh linens, and thoughtful amenities like French presses and plush towels. Location earns special praise for being central yet quiet, easy to walk to shops and restaurants. Negatives mostly concern occasional dated features (a few old windows or tubs) and rare rigidity with cancellation policies. The vast majority call out the Wiltwyck’s hospitality and reliability.
