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
🎣 Walk to the Willowemoc: The riverside trail is under five minutes from the front steps—cast a line by sunrise, or just bring a thermos of coffee and watch the water.
🍩 Best Bagels in the Catskills: Breakfast features Grizzly Bagels, but you can also walk to the shop on Main and grab extras for later hikes.
🗻 Foliage Hunter: Book midweek in October for peak color and quieter trails from Roscoe to nearby Cherry Ridge—ask Sonya for short drives worth the leaf detour.
🍷 Supper Club Tip: Check the Yarra calendar for dinner pop-ups—they sell out fast, but guests often get first dibs by request.
What folks are saying

Based on the 50 most recent Google reviews
Guests praise The Yarra for spotlessly clean, individually styled rooms and a personalized, quietly generous welcome from the owner. The included breakfast spread—pastries, yogurt, bagels—is frequently called out, along with the quality of the house-cooked evening meals. The inn's decor, atmosphere, and dog-friendly stance receive widespread approval. Some guests note limited control over room temperature, occasional noise due to the building’s age, and a pared-back breakfast. Overall, feedback is overwhelmingly positive for warmth, thoughtful touches, and restful Catskill stays.
