Our buying experience with Affordable Outdoor Kitchens (AOK) was nothing short of perfect! Please let me explain:Our journey began with Brian asking questions to determine our goals for an outdoor kitchen. It was more about how we wanted to entertain, the foods we liked, and the space we had available, than the appliances to sell us. Next, he created floorplan and showed us how the different appliance and storage options would fit into the area. After many, many discussions, we narrowed it down to appliances and storage that would give us the best outdoor kitchen experience for the space and budget we had to work with. And just to be sure we were buying the right cooking appliances; Brian invited us to store and gave us a cooking demonstration with those same appliances. We were hooked! We made the purchase, he ordered our items, and he gave us a blueprint of our outdoor kitchen design to give to our builder. When our items came in, AOK stored them until our builder was ready for them. You see, we were building our house in South Carolina. We picked up our items and took them to South Carolina, where they sat in a storage unit until the house was finished. Unfortunately, the builder was unable to build the outdoor kitchen (work force issues). So, we called Brian at AOK and together, we brainstormed! We determined a plan using modular cabinets would work best with the items we had purchased. He updated our outdoor kitchen design and even included the flooring and tile work to give us the clearest picture possible. Brian covered all the bases including determining proper space behind the cabinets and all the hook ups for gas and electric. We ordered the cabinetry, it came in, we took it to South Carolina, and we are ready to go, right? Wrong! With no GC, I became the GC and the entire AOK team walked me thru the production order from flooring, to gas lines, to cabinetry, countertop and tile work. They were with us the whole way. Never left our side.It was truly an honor to work with Brian and his family at Affordable Outdoor Kitchens.

It was truly a pleasure to work with everyone at AOKItchens - the entire company was very generous with their time and always made an effort to ensure 100% satisfaction/great customer service. Their knowledge and product offerings were top tier. Their partner contractors (Simpson & Sons) were also very professional, knowledgeable and offered a quality installation/product. I would highly recommend them.

I recently had a pleasant experience at Affordable Outdoor Kitchens. I purchased some kamado grill accessories from this family-owned. It is clear that they place a high priority on customer service, as evidenced by my interactions with them both online (via FB) and in-store. Kevin, the co-owner, was amiable and courteous, taking the time to address my questions. His extensive knowledge of BBQ grills, accessories, and related products was truly impressive. In addition to acquiring the items I purchased, I also gained valuable insights and BBQ techniques to try out. I would highly recommend Affordable Outdoor Kitchens to anyone seeking to enhance their outdoor space and improve their grilling experience.

Their team was exceptional. We appreciated their friendliness, product knowledge, and prompt communication. They helped us work through various options and settle on a combo that fit our needs and tastes and could inspire the rest of our patio space. They also worked as able with our timelines to coordinate with other contractors. Thanks to their superior customer service, the end result is better than we could’ve imagined!

I highly recommend Affordable Outdoor Kitchens for outdoor kitchen and patio products as well as furniture. I dealt with a large number of contractors and vendors during the homebuilding process, and Kevin and Karen were absolutely top-notch. They are professional, courteous, reasonable, and extremely knowledgeable. What stands out the most is their clear efforts in customer service. I had an issue with an outdoor fire pit nearly one year after purchase. After I asked for an opinion, Kevin was at my house (nearly 1 hour away) the next day troubleshooting the issue that others could not solve. He facilitated a replacement part and educated me further about my patio purchases during his visit. His efforts are a clear reminder why it's worth dealing with a professional small business rather than simply buying online from a big box distributor. I hope to work with Kevin and Karen again in the future!

Great customer service. Willing to listen to what your vision is and then delivering while working with my prime contractor while building an outdoor kitchen. Can’t say enough positive things about Kevin Fox and his support through the whole process. I ended up with a beautiful Evo that I plan to put to work this weekend!

Just wanted to share how wonderful our outdoor kitchen has been this summer. Although the pizza oven provided us some intial challenges your customer service and determination to make it right never wavered. We so appreciated that!The grill is amazing and cooks beautifully every time and we have mastered the pizza oven and our pizzas are amazing and our guests are loving it. Going up a size was the right solution!Just wanted to say a big thank you for everything (design/layout, appliance selection and contractor installation and entire AOK experience) and making our beautiful outdoor kitchen our reality. It is awesome.

Awesome job by Brian and team. I called them to talk about my project and since during COVID sent photos. Brian called me and walked thru recommendations based on our discussions. I went to their amazing showroom shortly thereafter and got expert advice on what to consider that I hadn’t thought of. Went with all their recommendations and couldn’t be happier. Update: about a year later had an issue with sink and they replaced it without question. If you are looking for an outdoor kitchen and want top notch service and recommendations by a company that stands by what they sell, look no further. They are the best.

From concept to install everyone was very professional and knowledgeable. I like to thank Brain the designer for his time, Kevin for the advice on the grills and Chris for the seamless install. These guys are top notch ! I will be definitely referring them to family and friends.
