  • Sting-Ray's

    Locals have nicknamed Sting Ray’s restaurant Chez Exxon because it’s located in a gas station. But do not infer any irony in the gourmet implications of the word chez. The Chesapeake Bay seafood you eat here ranks with the best on the Eastern Shore. It looks like a souvenir joint and gas station, which it is. But it’s also a terrific pottery store, and the restaurant inside has been written up in all the southern-living-type magazines. It is a true find. The menu features a selection of fresh seafood, crab cakes, Certified Angus steaks, in house smoked ribs and hand pulled pork barbecue, and assorted desserts featuring Sweet Potato Pie
