Big Rig Burgers successfully relaunched its anticipated floating food truck on Saturday, July 11, 2026, during the busy Pottahawk weekend. The burger barge set up at MacDonald Turkey Point Marina and launched into Lake Erie, serving customers directly from the water.
Floating Burger Barge Returns
The floating food truck, a unique concept that combines a traditional burger joint with a boat, had been highly anticipated by locals and tourists alike. The relaunch coincided with Pottahawk, a popular annual boating event that draws thousands to the lake. According to Karis Mapp of CTV News, the barge successfully served burgers to hungry boaters and beachgoers throughout the day.
Big Rig Burgers originally operated as a land-based food truck before introducing the floating version. The relaunch marks a return to the water after a hiatus, with the barge now fully equipped to handle the demand of the Pottahawk crowd.
Community Response
The event drew significant attention, with many attendees expressing excitement about the unique dining experience. "It's great to see them back on the water," said one local boater. "Pottahawk isn't complete without a burger from Big Rig." The floating food truck is expected to operate throughout the summer season, with potential expansion to other lakefront locations.
