Covered Outdoor Kitchens in New Orleans and the Metro Area
Covered outdoor kitchens in New Orleans: built-in grills, counters, and bar seating under a roof, designed for a city that cooks outside.
If any city deserves a real outdoor kitchen, it is this one. Crawfish boils, red beans on a Sunday, a grill going while the game plays under the cover. We design and build outdoor kitchens across the New Orleans metro, from a clean grill island to a full cooking porch with counters, storage, and bar seating.
Designed Around How You Cook
The first question is not which grill, it is what you cook. A boil rig needs open flame clearance and a hose-down surface. A smoker wants shade and airflow. Weeknight grilling wants the kitchen close to the back door so dinner does not become a hike. We lay out the zones the way a kitchen designer would: cook, prep, serve, and sit.
Materials That Live Outside
Everything in an outdoor kitchen here has to handle humidity, heat, and rain. We build with masonry, stone and concrete counters, stainless components, and marine-grade finishes on anything with a door or a drawer. Wood accents are chosen and sealed for the climate, not borrowed from an indoor kitchen catalog.
Utilities and Cover, Done Once
Gas, water, and electrical runs are the expensive part to redo, so we plan them at design time along with the roof over your head. Most kitchens we build go under a patio cover or pavilion, and we can build the roof structure itself. The slab or paved surface underneath gets graded so the cooking zone drains and stays clean.
What It Costs
Outdoor kitchens range widely with size and appliances, so we scope yours on site. The estimate is free, the design comes with real material options, and the written price holds from the first day of work to the walkthrough.

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does covered outdoor kitchens cost in New Orleans?
Pricing depends on the size of the space, the materials you choose, and what the site needs for drainage and anchoring. We put all of it in a written estimate after a free on-site visit, before any work starts, and the price we quote is the price you pay.
How long does the project take?
Smaller projects finish in days; larger builds with covers, kitchens, or structural work take longer. We give you a firm timeline with your estimate, not a guess, and we hold to it.
Will it stand up to our weather?
That is the whole point of how we build. Storm season runs June through November here, so everything we install is anchored and engineered for wind, and we choose materials that handle humidity instead of soaking it up.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Big Easy Patios is a licensed and insured Louisiana contractor. We pull the permits your parish requires and put the full scope in writing, so there are no surprises mid-project.
