Anchored Eats isnât your typical beachside snack shack. The menu may be casual, but the flavors are legitâand the patties? Never frozen. Every burger is made fresh and grilled to order, with a couple standouts you have to try:

⢠Folsom Blues Burgerâ¨For the bleu cheese lovers out there, this oneâs 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.
