Our Roots And Our Journey
AmericanSoul Kitchen & Bar grew from a childhood spent around crowded tables, a mother who poured love into every soul food dish, and more than 20 years in hotels and restaurants. Today, that history lives at 164 Scott St in Meriden as a neighborhood restaurant and bar where guests feel known, welcomed, and well fed.
Soul Food Crafted With Care
In our kitchen, we cook the way we were raised to cook-with time, care, and real ingredients. Family recipes guide every batch of fried chicken, shrimp and grits, mac and cheese, and seasonal specials. Chef Dimitri and the team focus on flavor, consistency, and portion size, so every plate feels like a comforting, made-from-scratch meal.
A Gathering Place For Our Community
AmericanSoul Kitchen & Bar was created as a place where the neighborhood can slow down, talk, and share a plate. Friends meet at the bar after work, families gather in the dining room, and brunch crews claim their favorite table each Sunday. With golden-day music and warm lighting, simple moments turn into traditions that keep people coming back together.
