Located within an Exxon gas station, Sting Ray’s looks like a large barn. Serving specialty dishes such as sweet potato biscuits stuffed with ham and all manner of traditional breakfast plates.

The sweet potato biscuits are a house specialty, made from a recipe that is decades-old. Their gentle sweetness provides marvelous balance for the ham. Being Virginia ham, it isn’t all that brackish. But pairing it with the sweet potato biscuit is culinary genius.
