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
🌿 Garden View Rooms: Request garden view rooms for tranquil balconies overlooking the pond with ducks and lush greenery.
☕ Breakfast Highlight: The breakfast staff, especially the lady in the breakfast area, are noted for excellent service and a good variety.
💪 Gym Access Nearby: While there is no on-site gym, guests are often given passes to a local Gold's Gym about 5 minutes away, enhancing fitness options.
🚗 Location Caveat: The hotel is not downtown and is right off Highway 101, offering quick access but limited walkability; Starbucks and In-N-Out are conveniently close across the street.

Visitors frequently praise the friendly and accommodating staff, lush garden setting, and the peaceful lagoon with ducks. The free breakfast and location near the airport receive positive mentions.

Despite these downfalls, many appreciate its value and tranquil ambiance.
