Outdoor Kitchens in Tulsa - Upscale Summer Entertaining on the Grill

Kids playing in the yard, friends talking over a glass of iced tea, and delicious food on the grill – that’s the classic American summer, right? No summer scene would be complete without grilling outside. We love to be outdoors and cook outdoors when the weather is nice. And families in Tulsa can have all the conveniences of the indoors while they’re outside grilling. Tulsa outdoor kitchens remain a growing trend and for good reason. 

Not only do outdoor kitchens in Tulsa make for awesome ‘staycations’ or the favorite spot for hanging out on the weekends, but these outdoor spaces are a great investment for homeowners and can significantly increase the property value of a home. 

Today’s outdoor kitchens can be as over-the-top or as basic as you would like. These outdoor living spaces can have stainless steel appliances like burners, refrigerators, grills, and sinks. They can have extra storage space bins and custom built-in containers for utensils and other essentials as well as granite countertops. It’s important to include plenty of counter space to afford the cook enough prep space. State-of-the-art grilling and cooking equipment including pizza ovens make outdoor entertaining easy and more enjoyable.   

The outdoor kitchen can be located close to the outdoor living area to keep the person cooking fully involved in the action or separated, depending on your style of entertaining and how you want to utilize the two spaces. Bar seating can be built as part of the outdoor kitchen to allow guests to easily talk and eat with the cook. Often, homeowners have a spacious dining table and comfortable lounge area adjacent to the outdoor kitchen to fully enjoy their meal with friends and family. Placing the kitchen and grilling space near the inside kitchen makes for easy transport of food and other prep materials. 

An elegant pergola or steel arbor may provide a comfortable cover for the outdoor kitchen space and create a more distinct outdoor living space. Next to a custom pool or spa, these outdoor environments provide the definitive space to entertain or just relax. 

The amenities and styles of these outdoor kitchens are almost endless. Their style and theme can coordinate beautifully with the architecture and feel of your home to create one cohesive landscape design.  

So plan now to enjoy the classic American summer even better with a complete Tulsa outdoor kitchen area.
