Small outdoor kitchen help

Looking to add a small outdoor kitchen to my backyard. Nothing too big just with grill a couple drawers and a fridge and a little bit of counter space. What would be my best bet or least expensive route in doing this...?

Cooking inside. Eating outside.

If you're remotely handy, you can build some cabinet frames out of treated lumber, deck with hardy board and cover in tile or stone. Ditto on the countertop.

That's not really outdoor kitchen. That's a grill w/ a mini fridge 
.
Are you trying to attach these components to become permanent fixtures of patio?

Two different ideas. What would add real value to your home, or what can you do on the fly to make it "decent" is what I'm taking out of this.

Do you have a patio cover or porch roof? 'Cause I look at photos of the lovely uncovered/barely covered outdoor kitchens in shelter mags and think: not in my hot, wet, buggy climate. The drawers will fill up with spiders and mildew, the mosquitoes and roaches will take up residence in the cabinets, and water will collect in every nook & cranny, growing funkier and funkier with every passing summer day.
Pretty to look at, but a PITA to keep clean & tidy. Unless you have "people" for that, LOL.

Even if the patio is covered, I would recommend stainless drawer inserts for your pots, pans and cooking utensils. Otherwise, you will not keep out the rodents and bugs.

Yea its about 8'x20' covered patio, looking to have it run across the 8' section on the end and come around the longer section just a few feet. Im decently handy to where I would be able to build a frame, just didnt know if I could make it out of wood with it being a grill and all.

The grill will not be in contact with the PT framing; only with the stone/ceramic tile, or Hardy board if you do it right.

If you use wood you need to buy a sleeve for your grill which cost an arm and leg. It's best to use metal studs or brick.
