Two new restaurants are giving Okatie residents some new dining out options along S.C. 170.
The restaurants, both with Ridgeland mailing addresses but just over the Beaufort County line, are not connected and offer widely varied menus. One is open in the mornings and one in the evenings.
What they do have in common is that they are signs of escalating retail and residential development along the heavily traveled corridor.
Half Day Cafe
Brothers Te Riley and Trent Riley opened Half Day Cafe in mid-December at 2633 North Okatie Highway, as S.C. 170 is known. Te said he and Trent both felt there was a need for this type of establishment.
“There’s nothing else along this corridor that serves a homemade breakfast,” he said.
Trent owns Sunset Pizza and Full Moon Saloon located next door to Half Day Cafe. Te said diners can expect the same quality of food at Half Day Cafe.
“We do not duplicate anything from next door, and we put a fresh twist on everything,” he said.
Five different types of flapjacks, breakfast burritos, chicken and waffles, breakfast bowls, fresh fruit and sandwiches named, “The Killer,” “The Low-Bottom,” and “Cherry Point,” are on the breakfast line up.
