🍔 Made-Fresh Burgers with Personality

Anchored Eats isn’t your typical beachside snack shack. The menu may be casual, but the flavors are legit—and the patties? Never frozen. Every burger is made fresh and grilled to order, with a couple standouts you have to try:
• YeeHaw Burger
A western-style bacon cheeseburger stacked with crispy onion rings, BBQ sauce, cheddar cheese, and all the fixings. Smoky, savory, and totally satisfying.
• Folsom Blues Burger
For the bleu cheese lovers out there, this one’s a dream. Thick-cut bacon, melty bleu cheese, and bold flavor that pairs perfectly with the view.
Round it out with crispy fries, salmon teriyaki bowls, hot dogs, and cold sodas for a picnic-style meal that hits the spot.

🚫 2025 Update: Boat’s Out, Flavor’s In

If you’ve heard about Anchored Eats’ iconic Floatin’ Food Boat, here’s the latest: due to a mussel infestation affecting Folsom Lake, the boat has been landlocked for the 2025 season. But don’t worry—the beachside Shack at Granite Bay is still serving up everything you love.
Open daily from 11 AM to 7 PM, the Shack has become the main hub for food, rentals, and all-around summer fun.

🛶 Gear Up: Rentals & Lake Toys Galore

Anchored Eats is also your launch pad for water adventure. In addition to the food, they rent out a variety of beach and lake gear to keep your day active and exciting:
• Kayaks (single + tandem)
• Stand-up paddleboards
• Floating trampolines
• Lily pads, loungers & inflatable mats
• Beach umbrellas, chairs, and towels
Everything’s available right at the Shack—easy to grab, easy to use, and perfect for turning a beach day into a mini lake vacation.

💬 The Vibe: Local-Owned, Lake-Loved

There’s something special about Anchored Eats, and it starts with Ruby Shields. Her passion for good food, good company, and lake life comes through in everything from the fresh-made burgers to the friendly staff behind the counter.

It’s the kind of place where you can show up sandy and sun-kissed, order barefoot, and be greeted with a smile. No fuss, just fun—and a whole lot of flavor.
