Best Brunch on Sullivan's Island, SC? 2019 James Beard Semifinalist, The Obstinate Daughter




The Obstinate Daughter is an eclectic, new American fare restaurant with a raw bar, pizza, pasta, and the best brunch on the East Coast! Served in an elegant, country-style space on Sullivan's Island, SC.




Their website states,"Our name, The Obstinate Daughter, is an homage to the rich Revolutionary War history of Sullivan’s Island. On June 28, 1776, under the command of Colonel William Moultrie, the defenders of Fort Sullivan foiled the British fleet’s attempt to capture the city of Charleston in the Battle of Sullivan’s Island. This first American Patriots victory inspired a London political cartoon of the defiant defenders of Charleston:  “Miss Carolina Sulivan, one of the obstinate daughters of America, 1776”.  To us, The Obstinate Daughter is a beautiful reminder that the stubborn refusal to change one’s course of action can change the course of history."
