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???

Tea cake

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.

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.

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

Thursday night and it wasn't very busy. I enjoyed the decor but there's a slight identity crisis…read moregoing on here. They are serving as the lobby bar for a hotel, they have TVs going with sports channels and the like. Now having a bar area in a steakhouse isn't all that unusual but it's typically separated from the main dining area. This is just one big room and it has a grand piano with upscale dining area. The piano music was a nice touch, maybe a bit loud for my taste but it was nice. The service seemed a little slow but polite and well choreographed. The food was a miss when considering the price and setting. House salad with chicken- the chicken was well overcooked and lacked flavor. The brussel sprouts were actually really good but both the Brussels and the sweet potato had candied pecans on them that seemed out of place, perhaps straight out of a box. Otherwise those sides were actually pretty good. Pork Belly appetizer was more charred than the crispy it was described as on the menu. Very sweet jam on it and though charred it was still a bit chewy- it wasn't terrible and there was a good portion size but I wouldn't recommend. My seafood bisque tasted like a canned soup. If they could improve the food quality a bit this would be a great date night spot. We really enjoyed our coffee with a flourless chocolate cake.

This was our first time to 135 Prime. We went the night before my surgery so I would not be hungry…read morethe next morning (no eating after midnight); I was not hungry in the morning. The staff were amazing, and the only draw back from the restaurant itself was it was a little dark and hard for these GEN X eyes to read the menu. The food was excellent. For starters, I got the wonderful house salad, and my husband enjoyed his lobster bisque. For our entrees, my husband and son both got fish, and I got a perfectly cooked medium rare ribeye. We did get two sides to share, which was plenty for the three of us. I highly recommend garlic mashed potatoes and roasted Brussels sprouts. We could not skip dessert and throughly enjoyed the cheesecake and creme brûlée (I made have eaten most of this myself). While the prices are a little more than we spend on a nice dinner, this place is worth it.

Important lesson: if something is not to your satisfaction, speak up. Don't give a bad review…read morewithout giving management a chance to address the problem. That is what we did, the problem was addressed to our satisfaction, and here I present the outstanding experience we had at this restaurant. Service was excellent. Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and food preparation. The ambience was very pleasant, from drinks on the outside patio to our meal inside. Our party of four ordered a lot, including two steaks, Chilean a la Prime, the Chef's weekly special, asparagus, and more. All of the food was exceptional well-prepared and I'm still thinking about how much we all enjoyed coming here.

Never expected myself to drive two hours for some ribeye steak, but it was worth the experience. We…read morerandomly scrolled on YouTube and watched someone rated this THE BEST in Texas so we had to check it out. What makes this place unique is that they use charcoal, have make their own rub, you can order as many ounces up to 32oz I believe, and they only sell ribeye steaks. The place is called the general store because that's what it used to be when first started doing business in the 1980s but later expanded and converted into a steakhouse. We got there at 4pm and there was a little bit of a line already. The restaurant is only open three days a week each day from 5:30 to 9. On Thursday they have fried catfish and Friday and Saturday they sell only steak. The minimum order starts at 10oz and each ounce increment is a little bit extra charge. We ordered the 24 ounce to be shared between the two of us total is about $70 and we still have some leftover. The charcoal flavor was not overpowering, but the seasoning of the steak was perfectly balanced. Usually, I eat my steak with extra pepper or chimichurri, but this one I was able to eat without any extra seasoning. The surface of the steak look heavily seared but the medium interior was really juicy and succulent. I could taste more char on the edge pieces. After the steak we headed to their second shop next door for some malt shake. I got the cookies n creame flavor, it was milky and not overly sweet like any other milkshakes. And the malt flavor lingers on the tongue after each sip. I was debating to get another one but chocolate flavor but I was too full. Service there overall was very welcoming, and dining area is really big, the interior feels like an old western cabin but very clean and spacious. Great for family gatherings too. They also have a BYOB offer for people who love some good sips along with the smokey steak.

Then the garlic mash potatoes and PERFECTLY cooked 10 oz sirloin came out. The steaks were cooked exactly to order. They had a pristine flavor, and the meat just melted in my mouth. The yeast roll looked like a roll but it was pretty heavenly too, especially with the steak drippings. Our server was super sweet and helpful! And the quaint "general store" is for locals and visitors alike!! Awesome steak night --perfect for a date night! Pass on dessert! Stick with best stuff! Pecan cobbler and peach cobbler were overly sweet! But they did come with a scoop Of vanilla ice cream on top!
