Outdoor Kitchens in Austin, TX
Custom outdoor kitchens built for how Texans actually entertain - built-in grills, stone counters, and real utilities, at fixed line-item pricing.
Custom Outdoor Kitchens in Austin
HN Construction & Remodeling designs and builds custom outdoor kitchens for Austin homeowners who take backyard cooking and entertaining seriously, from a built-in grill and counter to a full outdoor kitchen with a sink, refrigerator, storage, side burners, and a bar. Because an outdoor kitchen combines masonry, plumbing, gas, and electrical exposed to the weather, HN Construction builds it in-house as one coordinated project, with the utilities run correctly and the finishes chosen to survive Texas heat, sun, and hard water.
The best outdoor kitchens are planned around the covered patio or pergola they sit under, the way you cook, and the utilities the yard can support. HN Construction handles the gas line for the grill, the electrical for the refrigerator and lighting, and the water and drain for the sink, plus weatherproof cabinetry and stone counters, and prices the whole build as a fixed, line-item written estimate.
What Goes Into an Outdoor Kitchen
Outdoor kitchens are as simple or as full-featured as you want. Common elements HN Construction builds in:
- Built-in grill, and optional side burner, smoker, pizza oven, or Big Green Egg opening.
- Weatherproof counters: granite, stainless steel, or concrete that hold up to sun and heat.
- Stainless or masonry cabinetry and storage rated for outdoor use.
- Sink with hot/cold water and a drain, plus a refrigerator or beverage cooler.
- Bar seating and counter overhangs for entertaining.
- Gas line, dedicated electrical circuits, and task and ambient lighting, all run to code.
- Designed to sit under a covered patio or pergola for shade and weather protection.
How Much Does an Outdoor Kitchen Cost in Austin? (2026)
An outdoor kitchen in Austin typically costs $15,000 to $60,000 in 2026, with high-end builds running higher. A basic built-in grill with a stone counter and storage often runs $10,000 to $20,000; a mid-range outdoor kitchen with a grill, sink, refrigerator, counters, and storage lands around $20,000 to $45,000; and a full outdoor kitchen with premium appliances, a bar, and multiple cooking stations under a covered structure runs $45,000 and up. Running gas, water, and electrical to the location is a major cost driver. HN Construction prices each outdoor kitchen as a fixed, line-item written estimate.
How We Build It
- Design: we plan the layout (straight, L-shaped, or island), the appliances, and the counters around how you cook and entertain and where the covered patio or pergola sits.
- Utilities and permits: we run the gas line, dedicated electrical, and water and drain to the location, permitted and inspected through the City of Austin or your municipality.
- Structure and masonry: we build the weatherproof cabinet structure and set the counters, allowing for appliance cutouts and clearances.
- Appliances and finish: we set and connect the grill, sink, refrigerator, and any side burners or coolers, install lighting, and complete a final walkthrough.
