An outdoor kitchen is a built-in setup on a deck or patio for grilling or cooking outdoors and storing provisions. It will usually include a grill, food storage space, counter space, and possibly a mini fridge. It can even include a sink for cleanup. Outdoor kitchens are by no means small investments, costing between $7,000 and $35,000 in 2025. Is an outdoor kitchen worth it? Here are some benefits of outdoor kitchens to consider.

Benefits of Outdoor Kitchens

High Probability of ROI

An outdoor kitchen might have a high cost, but it has a very high likelihood of giving you 100% of your money back through your property value. If you choose to sell your home, an outdoor kitchen will more than pay for itself. It is estimated that you can receive a 100%-200% return on investment with an outdoor kitchen.

Functional Outdoor Cooking

However, you likely don’t want to add an outdoor kitchen just to sell your home at a potentially higher price. You will want to spend some time enjoying that new backyard amenity yourself! Outdoor kitchens raise your home value so much because of how functional and luxurious they are. When it comes to functional outdoor cooking, an outdoor kitchen delivers. You can easily keep all ingredients, dry or refrigerated, and your cooking and serving tools in one place, which makes grilling or baking pizzas so much easier.

An Entertainment Hub

The purpose of outdoor cooking is usually to serve more than just one person. It’s a great feature for entertainment purposes. You can prepare delicious meals outdoors that will satisfy your family and guests, all while staying close to the social circle and getting to join in.
