We stopped for a quick bite to eat around noon on a Sunday. What a disappointment.
As we were trying to place our order, it appeared the staff behind the counter was getting fussed at publicly by another staff member. Definitely tense and bad energy.
We ordered 2 grilled chicken sandwiches with fries. Our buddy ordered a burger combo. Our buddy got his burger about 15 mins after ordering (according to the time stamp on the receipt.) At 23 mins after ordering (and them serving 8 other people who ordered after us their food), I went to the counter and asked how much longer ours would be. I was told we ordered grilled chicken, and it was a thick piece of meat and took longer to cook. I then got a lecture from the server with an attitude, on food prep and cook times. Having worked in numerous restaurants over the years, I’m confident you don’t serve meals 15 mins apart to the same table.
At 28 mins after ordering, we got our grilled chicken & fries. Both were TINY, dry and tough. You can see in the photo how small the chicken is compared to the normal bun size. Our buddy only ate 1/4 of his burger and said it was dry and tough.
Definitely not the place to go for decent or good food with unfriendly service and certainly not the place to go if you are in a hurry. What a disappointment.

This is not a fancy place, but the food is tasty the staff is friendly, and they get your food to you quickly. You order at the counter and they bring it to you nice and hot. You can also fill up with gas while you’re stopped and check out the gift shop. We enjoy stopping at Sting-Ray’s.

It was great to visit one of the local favorites. A lot of varieties on the menu. Everyone was very nice and the food was good.

What a gem! This restaurant was packed with what seemed to be a mix of locals and travelers. Stumbled upon sting-rays on our long ride home. We grabbed our food to go and decided to eat outside. Fully enjoyed our southern picnic lunch. The BBQ pork sandwich was delicious! We will for surely make this a traditional road trip stop on our next trip down south. Thanks for the home feel cooking!

You wouldn’t expect much from this little unassuming rural gas station restaurant. You’d be wrong. Do yourself a favor and stop here. The perfectly crispy catfish is TO DIE FOR!!! The catfish sandwich is excellent with a hearty helping of French fries. The catfish platter is even better. Very large portions with an array of sides to choose from. The lima beans and mac & cheese are excellent. Their menu is reasonably priced and service is quick, even though it’s often crowded.
There is also a cute little gift shop attached. Stop and get yourself some catfish and souvenirs. They have a variety of different fish on their lunch menu but the catfish is my recommendation.

Definitely worth the U-Turn

My husband and I went and I have been looking forward to stopping in because I have been before and loved it. This time, there was maybe one or two people in the restaurant when we ordered. We waited for an hour for our food,, when I inquired about it, the waitress got an attitude with me and when we finally got it, the food was terrible. It must have changed ownership. Won’t be back.

My husband and I stopped here for breakfast. I took a chance on the grits. I am picky with my grits. They are fabulous!!! They are buttery and creamy! Don’t ruin them by adding any salt. Wow were they good. My husband had pancakes and added some country ham. It was a whole slab of ham! He ate it with his eyes closed!
Thank you Stingrays for a great start to a weekend away!

This was a pretty good lil spot. Traveling south from Jersey to Newport News and decided to take a lil rest for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. The staff were super friendly and the locals were too. The food was, okay. Fish was good, but thin. Macaroni and cheese was cheesy but not much flavor. The cabbage was delicious, but also very mushy. The cornbread…oh so good! I’d definitely revisit and try something different though.

This food is ALWAYS bussin’(tastes great)respectfully and made from scratch. Everything is great on the menu. Going up north or driving down south you MUST stop in here to eat. Dine in or carry out. They have the best selection of old tyme candy. You will be so glad you did.
