Outdoor Barbecues & Bars
The best outdoor kitchen is designed around how you actually cook and entertain — not around what looks impressive in a showroom or on a contractor's portfolio page.

Built-In Means Built to Last.
A portable grill on a patio isn't an outdoor kitchen — a built-in setup is a permanent improvement to your property with real resale value. AJ Criss uses commercial-grade stainless components and masonry construction methods that are proven to perform in Southern California's outdoor conditions. From a simple built-in grill and prep counter to a full outdoor kitchen with bar seating, refrigeration, and a pizza oven, we scope each project to your actual lifestyle.
Cook Outside. Entertain Better. Stay Longer.
San Diego's climate is genuinely one of the best outdoor cooking environments in the country — 12 months of usable weather means an outdoor kitchen isn't a seasonal luxury, it's a year-round upgrade to how you live at home. AJ Criss builds custom outdoor kitchens, BBQ stations, and bars that are laid out to work the way a real kitchen works: enough counter space, the right appliance placement, proper ventilation, and surfaces that hold up to grease, UV, and coastal air without falling apart.
