Nestled within a screened lanai overlooking a private pool, this custom outdoor kitchen in Tampa, Florida transforms an outdated, underperforming grill station into a true outdoor culinary destination. Designed and built by Just Grillin’ Outdoor Living, this project showcases what’s possible when premium materials, professional-grade appliances, and thoughtful craftsmanship come together in one seamless outdoor entertaining space.
The original outdoor kitchen was fully removed to make way for a ground-up rebuild — one engineered not just to cook on, but to entertain around for years to come. If you’re envisioning a similar luxury outdoor kitchen renovation for your Tampa Bay area home, this project is the blueprint.

Design & Construction Highlights
Premium Artisan Grill & Refrigeration
At the heart of this build sits a built-in Artisan gas grill, framed by a sleek stainless steel ventilation hood engineered to keep smoke and heat clear of the covered lanai. Paired with a full-size Artisan outdoor refrigerator, the kitchen is fully equipped for extended entertaining — no trips back inside required. Every component was selected for weather resistance, durability, and performance in Florida’s demanding outdoor climate.
Natural Stone Countertops & Backsplash
A dramatic slab of natural granite serves as both the countertop and full-height backsplash, delivering rich movement and warm tonal variation that complements the home’s stucco exterior. This level of stone detailing is a hallmark of high-end outdoor kitchen design, adding both visual impact and long-term durability against sun, humidity, and daily use.
Stacked Stone Base
The kitchen’s structure is wrapped in a stacked stone veneer finish, grounding the design in natural texture while echoing the surrounding pool deck pavers. This architectural detail elevates the entire outdoor kitchen from “functional” to “designer-built” — a signature look for clients seeking a custom resort-style aesthetic at home.
Tongue-and-Groove Ceiling Installation
Above the kitchen and dining area, our team installed a rich, stained tongue-and-groove wood ceiling, replacing a standard flat lanai ceiling with a warm, high-end architectural feature. Paired with a matte black ceiling fan and recessed lighting, this upgrade instantly elevates the entire covered patio, creating a defined, upscale gathering space perfect for al fresco dining beside the pool.
The Result: A Resort-Caliber Outdoor Living Space
This Tampa outdoor kitchen project delivers everything today’s luxury homeowner expects from an outdoor entertaining space:
- A fully integrated Artisan gas grill and refrigerator suite
- Custom granite countertops and backsplash
