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
🥙 Signature Shawarma: The shawarma comes highly recommended—lean strips of beef and chicken take center stage and often sell out during peak hours.
🥗 Fresh Vegetarian Picks: The fattoush and tabouli salads are standout vegetarian options favored by locals, perfect for a light, refreshing meal.
⏰ Best Time for Ease: Early lunch on weekdays avoids peak crowds and noisy atmosphere, making for a more relaxed dining experience.
