About Us

Soul Rebel began as a Caribbean-American Fusion Restaurant based in Northern Virginia. In 2023, the owners, Kofi and Shareem Annan opened a brick and mortar restaurant under the same name in Petersburg, VA. Soul Rebel is a certified Small, Micro, Minority Owned, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business that serves a unique blend of Caribbean-American fusion cuisine founded in late 2019. Our menu includes island favorites such as curry chicken, oxtail, and jerk chicken made with our artisan jerk paste marinade but also features blends of Caribbean and American cultures that you will not find anywhere else such as our juicy Jerk-BBQ burgers and wings, our one of a kind Pineapple-Mango Blaze wings, and mouth-watering tacos.  In 2022 we began bottling our sauces to accommodate customer demand. 

Soul Rebel was the inspiration of Kofi Annan, a product of the blending of Caribbean and American culture. Kofi is an award winning author and activist known for his bold, innovative and unapologetic approach in his social justice advocacy, and he has taken that same rebellious spirit and approach to Soul Rebel. Our mission is not just to create outrageously bold and flavorful cuisine, but also to celebrate and uplift Afro-Caribbean and Afro-American culture.  A soul rebel is someone who does the right thing even when it’s hard.
