Custom Outdoor Kitchen in River Club, Bradenton | Project #63
A Compact Outdoor Kitchen Designed for Beautiful Manatee River Views
At American Outdoor Cabinets, we design Custom Outdoor Kitchens that match each homeowner’s space, lifestyle, and personal style. Project #63 shows that a small outdoor kitchen can still offer great cooking power. It has smart storage and a clean, modern look. Plus, it does not block views or take up important patio space.
Designed for Riverfront Living
The River Club community in Bradenton, Florida is known for its natural beauty and peaceful waterfront setting. This particular home sits right next to the Manatee River, offering wide, panoramic views from the patio and pool area. The homeowner wanted to enjoy those views without a large outdoor kitchen blocking the scenery or crowding the pool deck.
Although the patio offered plenty of room, the homeowner asked for a smaller kitchen footprint to leave space for:
Our design team took this vision and created a layout that delivers everything the homeowner needs, while staying compact, clean, and open.
A Smart Layout With Full Functionality
Even though the kitchen is smaller in size, it still includes all the major features needed for cooking, serving, and entertaining. The final design includes:
Blaze Built-In Griddle
Perfect for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This griddle provides flexible cooking options and is easy to maintain.
Zephyr Outdoor Refrigerator
Keeps drinks cold and ingredients chilled while entertaining outside.
Storage Cabinet With Drawer
Offers space for grilling tools, cooking accessories, and utensils.
The compact layout keeps everything close together. This makes cooking easier and saves steps when moving between the griddle, fridge, and storage areas. At the same time, the design leaves generous open space around the pool and seating areas. The entire patio feels bright, airy, and uncluttered.
The homeowners were thrilled with the result. They received a beautiful, modern outdoor kitchen that fits their needs, their space, and their view—without overpowering the rest of the patio.
HDPE Cabinetry Built to Withstand Florida’s Climate
One of the most important features of this project is the use of HDPE outdoor cabinetry. This material is extremely durable and ideal for homes in coastal or humid environments like Bradenton.
HDPE cabinets offer:
Because River Club is so close to the water, HDPE is the best long-term solution for outdoor cabinets. Unlike wood or metal, HDPE will not rust, rot, swell, or crack—even with constant exposure to sun, rain, and moisture.
Custom Cabinets Designed to Fit the Space Perfectly
Every outdoor kitchen we build is custom-made. We design our cabinets using advanced technology to ensure a perfect fit in any outdoor space.
American Outdoor Cabinets offers:
This flexibility allowed us to design a compact kitchen that fits tightly along the patio wall while maximizing storage and cooking space. Even in a small layout, the kitchen feels complete and easy to use.
Proudly Designed and Crafted in the USA
One of the things that makes American Outdoor Cabinets stand out is our fully in-house production process. Every outdoor kitchen—including Project #63—is designed, engineered, and manufactured in our own U.S. factory.
This provides several major advantages for our homeowners:
Faster Project Timelines
We don’t rely on overseas shipping or outside vendors. Because we build everything ourselves, your project moves quickly from design to manufacturing to installation.
Better Pricing and Value
Without third-party markups or import fees, we are able to offer premium outdoor kitchens at a better price.
High-Level Quality Control
Each cabinet is carefully inspected during every step of manufacturing. Our advanced CNC machines ensure that every cut is accurate and every cabinet fits perfectly.
Materials Designed for American Weather
Our HDPE materials are engineered for U.S. climates—especially Florida’s heat, humidity, and coastal environments.
For the River Club homeowners, this meant a smooth project, a perfect fit, and quality they can depend on for years to come.
A Modern, Stylish Look
The final design for Kitchen #63 features a clean, coastal modern look. The materials and colors were chosen to match the pool, patio, and riverfront setting.
Project Details:
The combination of the Dolphin finish and Cabana doors creates a sleek, high-end appearance. The cabinetry blends beautifully into the outdoor setting without detracting from the pool or river.
