We are new to Florida and to the joys of an outdoor kitchen to enhance our lanai and our way of cooking and eating. With the all the designers and suppliers to choose from, we were very confused. After a few missteps we found American Outdoor Cabinets (AOC). Let us save you time: just go to AOC FIRST. AOC’s attention to quality, aesthetics, convenience, and utility are extraordinary. Their showroom displays all of the different options for barbeques, appliances, cabinet faces, colors and finishes. The choices were plentiful. They provided guidance and explanations, but never with a hard sell. AOC have so many choices in their showroom and a photo gallery of beautiful outdoor kitchens they designed and installed, which made the process so much easier. We never felt pressured or rushed. All of our questions were addressed by Jeff, the co-owner, and his staff promptly. Our space presented a few unique challenges, and rather than take the easy way out, Jeff had his drywall contractor take the extra step of creating a more balanced and useful space, all of which he coordinated and had executed perfectly. We trusted AOC with their knowledge, responsibility and expertise so much, that the entire project was constructed while we were not in Florida. Jeff coordinated our tile and countertop subcontractors with his team, so everything ran smoothly. There was a manufacturing issue beyond their control with the refrigerator. It appeared okay but not perfect and therefore not good enough for AOC. They found alternatives that unifed the entire end result. This required several extra trips by them (all while we were still not back in Florida). The refrigerator substitution was done because they wanted to make it right! And still, the entire project came in on time and within budget. We love our outdoor kitchen. We could not be more pleased. Thank you, Jeff and AOC.

Our outdoor kitchen is the highlight of our lanai. It's absolutely gorgeous. I highly recommend American Outdoor Cabinets. Jeff is amazing to work with and customer service centric. I love the functionality of our outdoor kitchen. We use the drawers for beach towels and pool toys for the kids such as googles and more. We literally grill every single day. The wall has been transformed into something not only beautiful but functional. An outdoor kitchen from American Outdoor will definitely increase your property values.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Maryann! We’re thrilled to hear that your outdoor kitchen has become such a highlight of your home and that you’re enjoying it every day. Jeff and our team take pride in combining beauty with functionality, and it’s wonderful to know the design is adding value and joy for your family. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to serving you again in the future!

Kate McEvoy
We had a great experience with American Outdoor Cabinets. We started by working with our designer Barb who listened and gave suggestions of what we were looking to do with our old kitchen. Chris delivered all of our pieces and was very careful with getting everything out of the truck! Travis and Dustin did most of the installing. If they couldn’t answer our questions, they would very quickly call and get our answers. Both of them were very helpful and knowledgeable about the products. They cleaned up their mess and left the area spotless each day. Everyone showed up when they said and finished all very efficiently. We are very happy with everything! If you are looking for an outdoor change and a new fun outdoor space….Look no further than American Outdoor Cabinets!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Kate! We’re so glad to hear your experience with our team was such a positive one. From design to delivery and installation, we take pride in making the process smooth, efficient, and enjoyable. Barb, Chris, Travis, and Dustin will be happy to know their hard work made a difference for you. We’re thrilled you’re enjoying your new outdoor space and truly appreciate your recommendation!

Manuel Ramirez
I wanted to build my outdoor kitchen to last for years, so I was debating which type of materials could survive the Midwest environment. Then looking for ideas and options this company (AOC) and Chad was wonderful to work with. Quality of cabinets is great. I installed these by myself, and Chad was extremely helpful providing guidance and answering all my questions. I am happy with the outcome, and I would not hesitate to purchase from AOC again. It has been six months since I put everything together and it looks like it was yesterday.
Response from the owner:Manuel, your outdoor kitchen looks incredible—thank you for sharing the photos! We’re delighted to hear how well everything came together and that Chad was able to provide helpful guidance throughout the process. It’s wonderful to know the cabinets are holding up beautifully months later. We truly appreciate your trust in us and look forward to working with you again in the future!
Vivian Morffi
We had a great experience working with our designer Barbara. The process was smooth and painless. The installation team was meticulous. We would definitely recommend American Outdoor Cabinets.
Response from the owner:We truly appreciate your feedback, Vivian. It’s wonderful to know Barbara and the team delivered a smooth, detail-oriented experience. Thank you for recommending American Outdoor Cabinets!
Jeremy Wright
This is our second experience at one of our homes with American outdoor cabinetry. Communication, quality, and always an amazing end result is what brings us back to them and continues to allow us to refer them.

Chad Kastor, has always a pleasure to deal with.
Response from the owner:Hi Jeremy, thank you for trusting us again for your outdoor cabinetry needs! We’re so pleased to know that our communication, quality, and results continue to earn your confidence. I’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Chad. We truly appreciate your continued support and look forward to working with you again in the future!
Valeri Bleyer
What a great company who not only does great installation, but stands behind their product. They installed my outdoor kitchen about 6 years ago. In the last year I have noticed some marks appearing that looked like where stickers had been, which was strange to have taken that long to show up. Anyway, I contacted them and thought I would be told that they were out of warranty; however they came and took a look and said they would make it right. My cabinet finish was discontinued but they searched around and found a piece of the material and redid my doors. They said if they hadn't found the material they would install all new cabinets. It is so refreshing to find a company so reputable. I wish I could give them 10 stars!!
Response from the owner:Hi Valeri, We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience — both from your original installation years ago and your recent service. It means so much to us to know that our team was able to go above and beyond to make things right and find a solution, even with discontinued materials. Standing behind our products and ensuring our customers are happy long-term is at the heart of what we do. Thank you for trusting us again and for your incredibly kind words!
Swint Burkhalter
American Outdoor Cabinets did an incredible job on our new outdoor kitchen. Chad did an excellent job in helping us design the perfect outdoor kitchen for our space. From the cabinets to the appliances everything is top notch. The Rob Squad Service team made the installation and attention to detail flawless. You won't find a better Outdoor kitchen company.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the outstanding review! We're thrilled to hear our team delivered a positive experience and helped bring your perfect outdoor kitchen to life. Your satisfaction means everything to us, enjoy your new space!
