Make Your Backyard the Place Everyone Wants to Be

You already love to entertain and spend time outside. Now imagine having the kitchen to match. Brookside Brothers is a team of custom outdoor kitchen builders in Lancaster, PA, creating one-of-a-kind spaces where everyone can gather. Bring us the ideas you've been saving. We'll help you imagine what they could look like in your own backyard.

Build the Outdoor Kitchen You’ve Been Picturing

Cook More of What You Love Outside

Grill steaks, smoke ribs, make pizzas, fire up the griddle, or prepare the whole meal without heading indoors. Brookside can build your kitchen around the appliances, prep space, and cooking styles you actually enjoy.

Keep Everyone Together

Let friends pull up a stool, put the game on, and keep the conversation going while you cook. Thoughtful seating, serving space, and layout can make the kitchen the natural gathering place in your backyard.

Keep the Party Outside

Stock the drinks, prep the food, grab another plate, and clean up without everyone constantly going through the back door. Refrigeration, storage, sinks, and serving space keep more of what you need right where the party is.

Build Something No One Else Has

Choose the grill, counters, cabinetry, stone, lighting, seating, and extras you've always wanted. Brookside designs around your home, backyard, tastes, and ideas rather than fitting you into a predetermined outdoor kitchen package.

See What Your Backyard Could Become

Get inspired by outdoor spaces designed around different homes, properties, and ways of enjoying them.

Outdoor Kitchen and Covered Porch

Make the Whole Backyard Feel Like It Belongs Together

A great outdoor kitchen is more than a collection of appliances. Brookside looks at the home and backyard as one space, then designs the pieces to look, feel, and function like they were always meant to be together.

Give Everything the Right Place

Where should the kitchen go? Which way should the cook face? Where will everyone sit? Brookside considers the house, patio or deck, dining area, views, sunlight, smoke, and how people will move through the space before deciding where everything belongs.

Build It for Life Outside in Pennsylvania

Your outdoor kitchen will see hot sun, summer storms, freezing temperatures, snow, and plenty in between. Brookside plans outdoor-rated appliances, cabinetry, countertops, utilities, drainage, and other materials around the conditions they'll face year after year.

Make It Look Like It Belongs at Your Home

Your outdoor kitchen should feel permanent, not like something dropped onto the patio. Brookside can coordinate stone, cabinetry, countertops, lighting, colors, finishes, and proportions with your home and surrounding outdoor spaces.

"Your design fits perfectly with the home. It looks like it's been here from day one and not an afterthought."

— Tom & Denise D.

Want to Keep the Party Going When the Weather Changes?

A little coverage can mean more time outside. Add a pavilion for shade on a hot July afternoon, protection from a passing shower, and space for lighting, fans, a TV, or comfortable seating.

Brookside can help you decide whether your outdoor kitchen belongs under cover, out in the open, or somewhere in between.

One Brookside Team From First Idea to First Meal

Common Questions

  • How much does an outdoor kitchen cost in Lancaster, PA?

    Outdoor kitchen costs vary widely based on size, appliances, cabinetry, countertops, utilities, masonry, and surrounding construction. Brookside develops the scope and investment around the outdoor kitchen you want to build.

  • What appliances should I put in an outdoor kitchen?

    Start with what you enjoy cooking. Built-in grills, smokers, pizza ovens, griddles, side burners, refrigerators, and beverage coolers can all work outdoors. Choose what you'll actually use rather than adding appliances simply because you can.

  • Can I build an outdoor kitchen on my existing deck or patio?

    Possibly. Brookside can evaluate the existing space, structure, layout, and access to utilities to determine whether it can support your outdoor kitchen or needs modification first.

  • Do outdoor kitchens need plumbing and electricity?

    Not always. Your utility needs depend on what you include. Refrigerators and lighting require electricity, while sinks need water and drainage. Gas appliances may also require a properly planned gas connection.

  • What materials are best for outdoor kitchens in Pennsylvania?

    Choose materials rated for outdoor exposure and able to withstand sun, moisture, temperature changes, and freezing conditions. Brookside can recommend countertops, cabinetry, finishes, and appliances suited to your design and Pennsylvania's climate.

  • Do I need a permit for an outdoor kitchen in Lancaster County?

    It depends on the project and municipality. Permits or approvals may be required for structures, electrical, plumbing, gas, or other work. Brookside can determine what applies to your project and handle the appropriate permitting.
