Outdoor Kitchen Design & Installation

Jeff visits your space first, designs around how you actually cook, then builds it with cabinetry and appliances from brands he knows and installs himself — so you're not coordinating between a designer, a supplier, and a contractor.

Custom outdoor kitchen design and installation in Leland, NC starts with a conversation about how you actually use your backyard. Jeff comes to your home, reviews the space, and uses Gemini 3D Outdoor Kitchen Designer to build a visual layout so you can see the cabinetry, appliances, and finishing details before anything is ordered.

Cabinetry comes from ProFit, Endura, Challenger Designs, and Stoll. Grills and appliances are drawn from the premium lines the showroom carries and installs. Robin Cochran picked a Primo ceramic grill for her outdoor kitchen and was cooking breakfast on it within days of installation. Eddie Brewer had Jeff come out, review the old setup, and return with a design that matched the home exterior better than the original.

Jeff handles gas connections, venting, clearances, and all installation details from start to finish. If a manufacturer issue comes up after installation, he comes back, diagnoses it, and reinstalls the correct part. Doris Connell found that out firsthand and specifically called out how meticulous Jeff is during the install.

Highly recommend!!! We had fantastic experiences with What the Grill. We purchased a new built in grill and a new firepit insert from them and Jeff installed both in a timely, professional manner. He is very knowledgeable, responsive, accommodating and answers questions thoroughly.

Jeff came out to our home and reviewed the current grill that we had and came up with a great new design. His knowledge and expertise of the grill market was outstanding. Very dependable and great service after the sell, Jeff kept us informed of the timeline of delivery and installation.

Jeff, owner of What the Grill, did a nice job of consulting with us to help us design our outdoor kitchen. We are extremely pleased with the outcome. So far, I've cooked appetizers before dinner (we ate dinner out with friends) and this morning I cooked breakfast outside.
