    Wow. Wings and ribs. Small shack in Marlin, it's a really quick stop off highway 6. Love the batter flavor. The seasoning on the fries is awesome. Dipping in hot sauce tops it off. Not greasy at all, I believe a sign says they use soy oil. Who doesn't want a happy tummy???

    I was so excited to tatse this meal due to the exposure it received from bigdawg.tv. Another IG blogger that overhyped the quality of a restaurants food. I drove almost two hours for something I could have prepared in my own kitchen that would have had more flavor. The establishment is corky in appearance, very reasonable in price, considering the portion size. The staff was truly genuine and friendly. Everything was lacking seasoning for my liking. Yes, the flour was hit with a hint of salt and pepper, but that was mostly the flour. The fries were overcooked and extremely hard. To be honest, I couldn't even eat them. The wing to rib ratio was off as well, due to the fact the meal only came with 3 wings. With the rest being rib bites, not true fried ribs. The only thing I wish I'd purchased more of was the tea cake. Now, whoever made that knew what they were doing. OmG...it was light and airy with a hint of cinnamon and sugar. Mannnn...the best two dollars I sent all day. This spot may be cool for the locals in Marlin or those driving from Waco, but it's not worth the drive if you live more than one hour away. Ronnie's pick

    Chicken ribs! This is the best food stop I've ever made. They do not take cards, cash only. Tip that sweet lady.

    How have I never of known that chicken ribs were a thing?!!! This has got to be one of the best food stops I've ever made... Best hands down I'd give them 10 if I could. If you ever go make sure you bring cash. Bc they do not take cards. So glad we hit an atm for this!

    Do not pass this place by!!! What a great little secret gem in Marlin! We stopped for road fuel on our way to Galveston and LOVED it!! The fried ribs are out of this world, the wings were amazing and the sausage was excellent! Also loved the bbq sauce! Our belly's were happy for the whole ride. 12/10 recommend!!

    After reading reviews, we stopped in Marlin specifically to try the fried ribs & wings. There is a good amount for your money and the people were nice. We called in the order, as suggested. Glad we did, as they were getting ready to close and it's so non-descript that we passed it on the corner by the freeway and went a ways before swinging back. The ribs & wings were ready and tasty, but the rib bone cuts were a little different from what I'm used to. It was a bit greasy for my tastes, but had good flavor. The fries were very good, crispy & moist inside. We can't eat fried ribs & wings every week, but it was a nice break from our usual food.

    It was great little place on the way to Ft Worth. I've never had fried ribs in my life. The flavor was on point. The soft drinks could have been colder. The service was superb. They only take cash

    Believe it or not, while driving back from College Station I needed to pull over and take a conference call. I couldn't help but wan to stop at a place called Wagon Rib & Wing Drive thru! Pulled in and got out. Found out that they didn't take cards, so I needed to go find some cash. To make sure I came back, the owner gave me a sample to take with me.....I came back. This place has some great character and makes, deep fried ribs. Not over priced and worth a stop.

The brisket is the star of the show: juicy, perfectly prepared, and packed with mouth‑watering flavor that makes your eyes roll back. The chicken is bronzed, smoked, and tastes like little pieces of heaven. I'm not even a pork fan, but I devoured every bite of their pork ribs -- absolute flavor bombs. The green beans are so good they'll make you want to kick the chair out from under your favorite cousin. Our server Brooklyn was polite, patient, and made sure we were taken care of from start to finish. She's a front‑facing star -- let her shine. I love this place. Call it Flav‑tastic or BBQ‑ambrosia, because it truly felt like a gift to my taste buds.

The beef rib was huge. It was well cooked, seasoned well, and without a heavy overpowering smoke taste and smell. The meat was tender and juicy. The pork rib meat was also perfectly cooked, the seasoning was one of the best mix of savory I had in a while. Instead of a special restaurant dinner for anniversary we thought we would eat a couple ribs. The adage @you get what you pay for" holds up well here. But the bill was exurban and this was before the current high price of meat & everything else. My husband said that I would not want to know what he paid which means over $100. I hope they can hang on until their supplies are more affordable. The cost will I am sure be a disadvantage. What we paid would have been or useful in filling my pantry. That being said, it was one of the most enjoyable meals we've brought home. If we could afford it we would definitely be our go-to place. We are looking forward to iur anniversary in a couple months when we won't feel guilty about paying a big price for a meal. I will go for flavor over fancy every time and Helberg fits that shoe.
