A new restaurant in Bakersfield is set to open in April.

Eureka Burger is a gourmet burger restaurant that originated in Redlands.

From there, the chain expanded to Fresno, Claremont and San Luis Obispo.

Maricela and Louie Caro have been the woodwork designers for the restaurant chain for the past three years.

Maricela believes that the new Eureka Burger will be a big hit in Bakersfield.

“It’s been so successful everywhere else that I know we’ll bring in a lot of people here.” said Maricela.

Location is a definite factor as to why people will be attracted to the restaurant.

Paul Fredricks, the owner of the Eureka Burger chain, is known to build his restaurants around college campuses and shopping centers.

“The restaurant’s really centralized and in a really nice shopping center,” said Fredricks.

Eureka Burger is going to be located at 10520 W Stockdale Hwy, near Chipotle. Aside from the food, Louie said that the beer is one of the best things Eureka has to offer.

“We have between 24-32 craft beers from local breweries and we have what’s called a whiskey and beer sampler,” said Louie.

Louie said that if you’re unsure of what type of whiskey or beer you want to try, order the sampler.

“When you order the beer or whiskey sampler you’ll get 16 different beers or whiskeys in shot glasses to taste. But then by the time you finish all of them you’ll already have a little buzz.”

If drinking isn’t your thing Maricela suggests trying the cowboy burger.

“It’s our most popular burger because of the homemade beer barbeque sauce,” she said.

The exact opening date has still not been set, but Louie believes it will be towards the middle of April.
