Gotta love a great local spot! Was in Long Beach to visit a friend and decided to stop by MVP's Grill & Patio. Was in the mood for a burger, so I went with The Fridge, which is a burger with pastrami and Swiss cheese. This was a legitimately great burger! Every burger comes with 1/3 lb patty, lettuce, tomato, Cajunaise dressing, and raw or grilled onions (I went with the grilled onions). You can definitely tell the quality of the burger is raised by the fresh ingredients and tasty meat. My friend ordered a Harry Careyclub Wins and a Jimmy Foxx. Had a bite of both and they were both great as well. Staff here are great, no complaints from me. Definitely a great spot for some casual eats! Would love to try some of the other items on the menu.

George Foreman VI burger
Levis K.

A long-standing staple for the community. I've gone here since high school, went through college (csulb) going here... absolutely must try. The burgers have been consistently good and well portioned for YEARS. They're generous with their sizes for their burgers and their fries (a full order of fries can feed 3-4 people easily). The prices have unfortunately continued to go up, but that's expected with inflation. I'd still recommend it despite the price. Service is as good as you'd expect for a burger stand. Good, but don't expect fine dining service. You're ordering at a window, keep that in mind. There is only outdoor seating, which can be brutal in extreme weather. Still worth it though. The ambiance gets loud because you're outside, near a car repair shop, and also near the airport so planes are going to continue to fly over. It's great! I recommend this spot for a chill, laidback local burger joint. It's been a staple for Long Beach locals for years and will continue to be.

Large fries

This place feels like stepping into an old-school burger joint in the best way possible. No gimmicks, just burgers that know what they're doing. I ordered the George Foreman V burger with fries, and it delivered. Classic, juicy, with a twist in the chipotle sauce gave it a smoky kick that made it stand out without trying too hard. Great portions too which hit the spot because I showed up hungry! The service was fine. Not overly chatty, but honestly that kind of adds to the old-school vibe. This place isn't here to impress you with small talk, it's here to feed you well. If you want a legit burger with a little personality, this is your spot.

Great neighborhood spot for hearty burgers & good vibes! MVP Grill & Patio in Long Beach is the place to hit up for decent burgers and sandwiches. I came here on a weekend afternoon and was not disappointed. The menu is huge -- all the burgers named after famous athletes, which is a fun touch. I went with the Christian Ronaldo sandwich and it was juicy, fresh, and cooked perfectly. The Burger was decent but I find it lack in seasoning. The portions are generous, especially the fries -- you won't leave hungry! Their fries are crispy and seasoned just right, and the patio seating is laid-back and perfect for people-watching or hanging out with friends. Staff was friendly and the food came out fast even though they were pretty busy. Parking can be a little tight, but it's worth it once you get your food. Definitely recommend if you're in the area and want a chill spot for a burger, sandwich, or just to hang out.

Cajun fries with extra sauce on the side
Priscilla M.

Food is good, portions are generous, girl the counter who took our order was very kind. She brought us extra sauces and was overall friendly. We ordered the Cristiano Ronaldo pastrami and chicken sandwich with Cajun fries and a bacon cheeseburger (I forgot the name )

Jorge Campos
James A.

First time here and I was desperately craving a good burrito that didn't cost me an arm and a leg. I happen to drive past MVP's Grill while heading to Trader Joe's and I stopped by hoping they'd have a burrito. I went in blind not knowing what they served and I ordered the Jorge Campos burrito with no beans. Omg it was absolutely delicious and the asada was nice and tender and great flavors. I look forward to going back and trying their breakfast burrito next!

Cajun Cheese Fries

The MVP at this location is just perfect each time I eat here. The fries are plentiful, crispy, and tasty. They have vegetarian options as well. We loved it when we lived in Long Beach and now when we visit LB we make sure to stop by here!

The Vitale!
Cindy Y.

Always a great experience whenever I'm here at MVP's! Absolutely one of my fav spots/locations in town to get a good fixin. I typically phone in my order to save some time & the service is always a plus! Staff are usually friendly & informative. Speaking from my personal experiences, the food always comes out fresh, delicious & most importantly, consistent! They also have a wide variety of sandwiches & burgers + more to choose from. My usual order is the Vitale sammy on toasted sourdough bread with a half order of their Cajun fries! More than enough for two people to share or for one verrrry hungry human lol *don't forget to add a side of their Cajunnaise sauce!* Cajun seasoning + mayo? so amazing! So if you're looking for a new place to try, I highly recommend MVP's! Bring the crew & fam! :)

Mary Lou Retton sandwich
Kim W.

Came here because the restaurant I was headed to was closed. Searched on yelp what else was around the area and came up with this location that used to be a tasty freeze back in the old days. I was definitely surprised, will definitely go back and I had the Mary Lou Retton sandwich which was out of this world.

We came all the way from Santa Clarita and we're not disappointed. Past all the namebrand places by the aquarium and came here and we're not disappointed. I had the work burger, which has fried portobello mushrooms. Others in our group had grilled cheese and poutine burger, and Italian burger and the hotdog and the breakfast burritos. No one was disappointed actually, we were surprisingly pleased with our selections. Sleeper items are the fried cheese curds by themselves. Make sure you get these. Also the onion rings are batter dipped. And beyond delicious! Only bummer is the drinks are cans, so if you need more than one drink, be prepared to pay for each can. The food was super delicious!!

We stopped by here because it was late and they were still open. Another reason I wanted to try it…read morewas because they served poutine, and I'm always on the lookout for places that offer it. It was really loud during our visit. I'm not sure if it's always that lively on Friday nights, but it was the weekend of Warped Tour, so there was a lot of music and energy. If you're looking for a quieter meal, this may not be the best night to visit. The food itself was good, but the wait was much longer than expected. We waited almost 40 minutes for our order. Unfortunately, my burger was also made incorrectly. I ordered the Bacon Bleu Burger but was served a different burger instead. Not quite sure what it was, but it had mushrooms and American cheese. Since we had already waited so long, I decided to just eat it rather than send it back. The burgers were flavorful, but they were smaller than I expected for the price, and they don't come with fries. To round out my meal, I ordered the poutine fries. They were decent. The fries were nice and crispy, which I appreciated. My husband ordered the Burger Don Chendo, and that ended up being the standout of the night. I usually don't like spicy food, but this burger had just the right amount of heat without being overwhelming. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but between the long wait, the incorrect order, and the portion size for the price, the experience was a bit hit-or-miss. I'd be willing to give them another try, especially for the Don Chendo burger, but I'm hoping for a smoother experience next time.

My friend and I went on a Monday during the day around 12:30 noon. Reservations are required, but after 4pm they accept walk ins. They make you out a credit card down for the reservation and if you don't show they charge you a fee. I was not aware until I arrived but there is a time limit of 2 hours for the table. Since my friend and I went during the day I don't think it was an issue as we sat there for closer for 4 hours. The hostess was very sweet. She informed us that we could take pictures, walk around and videotape as well. The server was friendly as well. Since it was so empty during the day we didn't really see her as much and my friend and I were talking a lot. Together we ordered 3 alcoholic beverages, 2 appetizers, 2 entrees and 1 dessert to share. The first drink I got was the clown pear-noia and my friend got the liquid lobotomy. They were served in fun Halloween cups that you can also purchase there. Second drink I got was the severed sun. All drinks were really good but definitely want to give a hats off to the mixologists because the flavors were great together. If you don't like craft drinks you may not enjoy these. I really enjoyed the severed sun the most out of those three. For the food, we got an order of sweet potato fries and the hatch chili Mac and cheese. Sweet potato fries were as expected, and came with Parmesan cheese topping and a black garlic aioli. The Mac and cheese was not spicy at all, but every so often I did taste a hint of spice. For entrees I had the short rib and she ordered the butternut squash ravioli. Both entrees were good and we both were happy with our selections. The ravioli tasted exactly like butternut squash soup. The short ribs had a nice glaze, but I do wish there was a bit more to help with the flavor profile (carrots were yummy and fresh, but mashed potatoes were kind watery). So to be clear, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the food, it tasted good and we have no complaints, but it was not "oh my goodness this is amazing" good. So that is why I put 4 stars instead of 5. Overall I had a great time catching up with a friend. It wasn't crazy loud in there that we couldn't hear each other but it was pretty dark in there. I did also see a lot of children with parents, but after 9pm I believe there are no children allowed. This place is a must try at least once for the vibes! Will definitely come back for the Christmas pop up next month!

I listened to orders being placed as she continuously greeted customers. At one time I did hear a couple of customers order a dinner and I heard her ask if they wanted fries, salad or half of each. Their online menu does not indicate the sides available. It was at this time, 9 minutes later hung up. I tried to call back and the line was obviously busy. I placed my order online for burgers and fries and drove to pick my order up. It's not what I wanted but I knew what I was getting. When I arrived at the restaurant i asked her name. She said, Kate. I explained what happened and she indicated she forgot about the call. I told her good customer service would have been for her to come back to the phone if even to say, I hadn't forgot about you and will be with you shortly. She admitted I hadn't forgot a valid point. I ordered 2 burgers, a double cheeseburger and a bacon cheeseburger both with fries. To make matters worse the cheese was not even melted on the burger. Just a cold slice of cheese on both burgers. I had bit into the burger before realizing the cheese was cold and not melted or soft. I'm going to give Poly Burgers a rest. Today's experience was frustrating.
