A Valparaiso-based burger restaurant has chosen Carmel for its second area location.

Burgerhaus, which offers a variety of burgers, sandwiches and salads, has filed plans to open at 98 First Ave. SW.

The five-year-old restaurant business started expanding in 2014 when it opened in downtown Indianapolis, and then added its third location, in Schererville, in 2016. The Carmel eatery will be its fourth location overall.

IBJ dining columnist Lou Harry reviewed the downtown Indianapolis restaurant shortly after it opened and described it as an eatery with a slightly upscale vibe, but neighborhood bar feel. He also recommended the Beer Battered Pickle Chips.
