The Obstinate Daughter restaurant on Sullivan’s Island, South Carolina, experienced a reported structure fire early on Wednesday morning, January 14, 2026, prompting a swift response from fire crews.​
Incident Details
Firefighters arrived at the 2000 block of Middle Street just after 4:35 a.m., with most leaving by 6:15 a.m. after addressing smoke and hosing down the building; Middle Street was temporarily closed. The restaurant confirmed it would reopen for lunch at 11 a.m. that day, suggesting limited severity.​
Prior Fire History
This marks the second fire at the location in just over a year, following a January 8, 2025, kitchen fire possibly caused by kitchen rags, which caused minor cosmetic damage and closed the business for over a month.
