Serving New Orleans, LA
Covered Outdoor Kitchens in New Orleans, LA
Outdoor kitchens built for New Orleans courtyards and shotgun side yards, with boil stations, drainage, and covered cook zones planned from the start.
Nobody in New Orleans needs convincing that food happens outside. Crawfish boils spill into the side yard, red beans simmer on a burner by the back door, and half the city grills through December because winters here are mild enough to allow it. What most homes are missing isn’t the appetite; it’s a proper place to cook. We design and build outdoor kitchens across Uptown, Mid-City, Lakeview, and the rest of New Orleans, working from our office on Soraparu St in the Lower Garden District.
Start With How You Actually Cook
A boil rig needs different plumbing than a weeknight grill setup. So before we draw anything, we ask what lands on your table. From there we lay out distinct cook, prep, serve, and sit zones so the person stirring the pot isn’t elbowing past guests. Gas, water, and electrical lines get planned once, at design time, which means no trenching through a finished patio later. Counters go in as masonry, stone, or poured concrete, and equipment is stainless with marine grade finishes, because our humidity punishes anything less.
Making It Work on a City Lot
New Orleans lots are famously tight. A shotgun side yard might give you 8 feet of width; a courtyard might give you privacy but no straight run for utilities. We treat that as a design problem, not a limitation. Galley style layouts, corner boil stations, and vertical storage let a compact footprint cook like a big one. On older blocks, historic district approvals can apply, and we flag that early so the review never stalls your build. The ground here is flat and the summer downpours are heavy, so every cooking surface we pour is graded to drain instead of puddle. Many of these kitchens sit on a new custom patio in New Orleans engineered for exactly that.
Cover It or Regret It
An afternoon thunderstorm shouldn’t end the party. A patio cover in New Orleans over the cook zone keeps the burners lit through a passing shower and shades the counters in July. It also protects the equipment investment between cookouts, from hurricane season storms in summer to the rare cold snap in January.
If you’ve been cooking on a folding table next to a propane burner, you already know what you want. Reach out to us or call (504) 285-2659 and we’ll walk your yard, talk through your menu, and sketch a kitchen that fits both.
