With such high reviews I had high expectations 1.it took a long time to get my order. Second, the man had to repeatedly repeat my order, because he kept forgetting what I was ordering. Finally, I did receive my order and his machine wasn't working so that he had to key in my card . He probably forgot my order because he spent most of the time on his phone someone else while I was ordering. all of this was fine I really didn't care, but when I got home, I was highly disappointed the mac & cheese have no taste and multiple burnt parts. I bought 2 pounds of brisket and a brisket sandwich. The brisket sandwich have flavor but a lot of it was fat . I literally forced myself to eat. I spent $90 on the food. The only thing that was actually delicious for me was the potato salad you don't go to a barbecue spot for potato salad I guess it just wasn't my day. read more

Great spot, friendly and entertaining, moist meat, not overly smoked or overcooked at all. ON POINT! Well worth the money and stop. Mac & Cheese was like it came right out of the oven. My only wish was for a few tables to sit and eat. But the operator said they are improving the grounds next week. It's already a great spot but we look forward to bringing the gang next time and enjoy that big trees shade. Basketball hoop to boot as well for the kids. read more

I got here early like at 11:30a but they were not open yet. Last night I was told that RIBS ON WHEELS (ROW) had the best ribs in town. Because I am a rib lover I had to find out for myself. When they did open the smell of the barbecue got my attention. And then I saw them and the flow of juices flowing throughout the meat It's about to be ON!!! So I ordered a pound of ribs for home and a sausage link sandwich for now. Links are always the open act for me when it comes to ribs. I wanted some chips but they did not have any. So the Que-connoisseur recommended the potatoes salad. The potato salad was pretty good-the texture and creaminess was very satisfying. The sausage link sandwich was different. It was very light in taste and good and juicy. The sausage sandwich really made me want to break into these ribs but they are for dinner. Well I must say dinner last night was less than enjoyable. The ribs didn't taste grilled, now they were tender but tasted as if they had been boiled first. -Not good to boil ribs. Now I will say their homemade BBQ sauce is very good; however, it could not cover up the taste of boiled ribs. I initially rated them as a 4 star but after the ribs I must update to a 2 Star-WORK ON THE RIBS PLEASE read more

I ordered the brisket dinner and the moment I tasted the brisket...... whew, I couldn't get out the car until I finished the entire dinner he put together for me. Comes with potato salad and baked beans and two slices of honey wheat bread. Soooo dang good! He deserves 10 stars. Y'all...... get the brisket dinner. You won't regret it. In fact, I'm trying to get another brisket dinner today! I wish I had a photo to show everyone but the meal didn't last long enough to stop and snap a photo. Yumm! read more

So many positive things to say about this place and Mr.Wayne! Mr.Wayne himself was so generous with the food he gives and extremely polite and friendly. His customer service is reason enough to come visit! Now when we talk about the FOOD: very flavorful, juicy and delicious ribs! The brisket was tender and moist. The baked beans perfectly sweet and flavorful. His Mac and cheese was cheesy and slightly sweet,different for me but still very good! Oh man and his BAKED POTATOES ARE ELITE! Definitely will come here again read more

Ribs were very good & I enjoyed the greens and potato salad. I plan to come back . Also, service was on point , very friendly and quick .

Wayne is awesome not only did he serve me after closing hours(8:20pm on friday) he even gave me a free corona and shower as he was on his way out. Great way to cheers to the Friday Night. Support the local business read more

After waiting for my son at the dentist for a couple hours last week I got hungry. I looked outside to see if the BBQ trailer I spotted 2 hours earlier had magically opened for business (it was closed when I arrived). I was pleased to see smoke billowing out and left to get some. It was raining and there wasn't much cover but the owner was nice to let us inside and wait out the schizophrenic weather we were having that day. Ribs - looked fantastic. Tasted great, but were sadly quite a bit on the chewy side. I was bummed. I can tell this place can produce savory ribs, I just caught them on an off day I believe. Brisket - had great flavor but sadly no smoke ring or bark whatsoever which was really sad. The flavor and moisture were there, not sure why the bark wasn't, my guess is perhaps it was sitting in a beef broth? Sauce tasted like homemade, not bad but on the ketchupy side. What I really liked about this place was the backyard flavor of their BBQ. You can taste a little charcoal flavor in their smoke and it smells fantastic. read more

These ribs are worth traveling from out of town for!!! Just the right amount of seasoning, cooked just right, will be sure to stop by on future visits to Houston. read more

Best BBQ I've had. I wish they were closer to me but it's worth the 35-40 minute drive to them. The taste is amazing. You don't even need bbq sauce for the ribs and the portion is definitely worth the money. Love it!!! read more

Absolutely the best barbecue in Texas. I love it. Customer for life. My friend brought me Here before he passed away in 2017 and I've been hooked since read more

Ribs and sausage is always on point. Flavor and tenderness is there. No need to even use the bbq sauce. Sides were okay- I got what they had which were potato salad and baked beans. Wish they had more to choose from during the week but maybe one day I will make the drive on the weekend and try their other sides. read more

You haven't had ribs .. if you have haven't had ROW (Ribs on wheels) #ChicagoStyle The best ribs in town!! Ask for WAYNE the owner he will hook you up read more

10 out 10 will come again,very generous with food! Incredibly tender ribs; nice and juicy. The baked beans are delicious and sweet, and Mr Wayne is incredibly nice and very generous with his food! I enjoyed being there and enjoyed the food I recommend it to anyone who want delicious BBQ. read more

Love the way Mr Wayne does his bbq. His runs are fall off the bone tender. I have been going to ROW since he opened.

Hhhm, "absolute best barbecue" Is very abstract and I guess everyone is a critic here right? But a one line yelp review... well... IMHO... this place deserves way more: So let me tell you about my experience with Ribs on Wheels. Nicest guy ever. He shook my hand. Asked for my name. Gave me his business hours (card, take away menu) and was just the sweetest ever. Told me the best item to order was the ribs. I however, was planning on eating right away in my car as it was drizzling and had hopped off a flight and got the chopped brisket sammy. It was on par for what it should be but had to rely on the barbecue sauce for moisture. Barbecue sauce is also a matter of taste. That day I was not feeling the barbecue sauce. I may feel it the next time I go back and order many different things and enjoy it right there in Richmond. The bun was also on par but nothing that should be raved about. I will say that I really enjoyed my drive out there and enjoyed my interaction with the owner/operator. Enough so that I would go out side of my ITL living to make it happen - I think every business that has great service deserves more chances if a certain item is a standout right? Cheers to great customer service! read more

Let me tell you something... These ribs and brisket will make you wanna smack your momma they are so good. Ribs are fall off the bone tender, the brisket is filet mignon soft and the aroma from the grill could be smelled 5 miles away. Mr Wayne treats all his customers like family, you don't have to be from Chicago to enjoy this Chicago style of grilling and seasoning... But when I eat here, I am at home.... Go give him a try if you already haven't done so, you won't be disappointed read more

I have had some darn good ribs in my life but in no way shape or form do any of the ribs I have ever had compare to the ribs at this place!!!!! read more

I still have the nice smoky BBQ taste in my mouth as I'm writing this review. Since it was my first time there, Wayne recommended the Ribs Dinner. The ribs were tender and very flavorful. Did I mention that it had the required smoky flavor any self respecting BBQ meat should have? I almost didn't need the sauce, and that's saying a lot for someone who usually drenches her BBQ. But don't be mistaken. The sauce shouldn't be ignored. It is sweet and tangy deliciousness. The portion is generous so if you are a sauce lover make sure to ask for extra (they only give you one). Side dishes are decent. A good accompaniment to the main dish. Enough about the food... The owner, Wayne, deserves five stars as well. Super friendly and generous. He offered me a free drink since it was my first time. He also added some complimentary brisket for me to try! Bonus points? I don't know if this matters to anyone else but his water was ICE COLD. Literally ice pieces in the semi-frozen bottle. I understand that BBQ is very subjective. Buuuut, this place inspired me to write my first yelp review! It's definitely worth a try. Even if you don't like the food (I doubt it) it'll be great to support such an awesome guy, who truly knows what southern hospitality is. ** They only open Wednesday - Saturday. (Sundays as well during football season!) read more

I saw this food truck all the time but never stopped. I looked up the reviews and thought I'd give it a try. I ordered the ribs and brisket dinner. The beans were good, potato salad was good, the ribs were delicious!!!!!! I love ribs that I can eat without adding the sauce and these were them! Seasoned to perfection!!! The bbq sauce was good but I didnt even use it. I wasnt a fan of the brisket. It was by no means bad, it just wasnt what I favored. The owner was very nice and welcoming! I will definitely continue to be a customer. Can't wait to try other things! read more

My husband and I have stopped in at R.O.W. a handful of times in the last year, and overall the food is pretty decent, although we have experienced an off day or two where the ribs, while still good, are not as tasty as they are on their best days. Not a huge fan of the BBQ sauce, though: it has a metallic tang that says store bought to me. The only side we have had is the potato salad, and that is good also. As other reviewers have mentioned, the proprietor is a genuinely nice guy and seems to take pride in both his food and customer service. Since our stops here are usually spur of the moment, it may not be the most accurate observation to say they have unpredictable hours, but it does seem that way. All in all, generally very good ribs and personable service make R.O.W. one of our favorite "fast" slow food stops. read more

Being born and raised in TX its hard to find a bbq joint that impresses you. Sure, we have tons of bbq restaurants but most are mediocre with a few great ones here and there, R.O.W. has made my personal list of great. Stopped by after shooting clays at ASC and glad we did! Each dinner plate is enough to feed a man with a HUGE appetite, or it can be enough for 2 meals. Perfect-sized portions. We had the ribs, rib tips, and chicken. Each meal comes with bbq baked beans (good, but a little on the sweet side), toast, mustard potato salad (homemade? Taste better than off-the-shelf to me), and what seems like homemade bbq sauce. As everyone has already said, awesome smokey flavor and moist. You can also add an extra meat, order by the pound, and even get a whole smoked turkey. Nice and welcoming staff, service wasn't fast-food fast, but the friendliness made up for that! Next time we go I'm getting the brisket! Only downside was there's no seating if you want to eat there (thats what tailgates are for) and no beer, but there's a liquor store in the same lot. They do accept credit cards. And there's plenty of space to park. Nicely priced at about $9-11 per plate. read more

I recommend ROW to everybody. Wayne does a good job. The map is wrong - he is located at 1464 & 1093.
