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 )

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!

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!

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 also ordered the ube Basque cheesecake, and it was easily one of the best desserts I've had recently--rich, creamy, and not too sweet. Our server, Sergio, made the experience even better. He was friendly, attentive, and gave great recommendations without making us feel rushed. The restaurant has a comfortable atmosphere that's great for date night or dinner with friends. I'll definitely be back, and the cheesecake alone is worth another visit.

DINING While Black…read more The 908 Restaurant Environment 1-5: 5 I really appreciated the ambiance and decor of the space. After enduring weeks of record breaking heat in Long Beach, this was the perfect place to land as the Summer Breeze... Makes Me Feel Fineeee again. A very well but gently lit space that still feels cozy and spacious. The outside gives no indication of how well the inside has been designed. Great for lunch or dinner dates. Noise level was low and there's no feeling of a chaotic restaurant environment. Food/Service 1-5: 4.8 I order the shrimp and lobsters fettuccine, bone marrow as an appetizer. My company ordered the lamb burger. All dishes we beautifully plated; true works of art. Neither of us had any complaints about presentation and creativity. As far as taste and as excited as we were to dig in to our food, the ONLY setback was the lack of seasoning mainly salt. I'm aware that a Chef does their best to meet the expectations of their guest. I'm also aware that meeting everyone's expectations is impossible. To confirm my advice of needing some salt in the food I patrons the restaurant twice, two days in a row. The food needs more salt and I stand solid on that opinion. The service was great and I thanked Mel for taking such great care of us. Mel is a rockstar! Diversity score 1-5: 4 The restaurant definitely appeals to diverse crowds. It reminded of the days I frequented Marcus Samuelsson's Red Rooster in Harlem, NY. Go again score 1-5: 5, Absolutely. I do hope I don't have to keep bothering the server for salt and pepper.

Talk to you as like we're with children drinks arrive late food was not order a place need to treat customers with respect no customers no business no tips wouldn't mention your names, but I personally think it was very inappropriate. There were few people they were polite for the rest. The kitchen needs to get the order right server manager should be a little bit more considerate how they talk to you customers for that matter I would never go back to it. Knowing that when you place a second order, which is as bad as the first one, I'm happy with Service and I'm happy with the food. Will never go back and by the way you need shades in those windows in the Sun!! is too strong to seat customers in the sun window radiating so much heat on you. Yes you gotta afford to put a few shades seat if possible just kill some of the sun out of the customers shoulders or back and it's too bright. You cannot even see the person in front of you and the scale from 1-10 I give it a rating " 3 "!!! Don't get me wrong. You do have very good service for my observation is too bad.

We started with the calamari, and I have to say, it was hands down the best calamari I've ever had! I substituted the chorizo aioli for garlic aioli. At first, I thought the crispy pieces were chips, but to my surprise, they were thinly sliced lemons. They were absolutely delicious and added such a unique, refreshing citrus flavor to the dish. I also ordered the salmon, which was delicious! Although it was slightly overcooked for my preference, the green sauce poured over it was incredible. The black rice complemented the dish perfectly and brought everything together beautifully. As for drinks, I tried the espresso martini, which was pretty good and a nice addition to the meal. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience. Between the inviting atmosphere, creative flavors, and delicious food, this was definitely a memorable late lunch. I would absolutely come back, especially for that calamari!

I live over on Second Street, and I'll tell you, it's easy to overlook The Attic, which is right…read morehere on Broadway. But let me tell you, this place is a real gem. Whether you're going for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, The Attic is one of those places that just has something special about it. They've got an outdoor patio, an indoor-outdoor patio, and a completely indoor dining area. Every space has its own personality. It's one of the most unique, eclectic restaurants you'll find in Long Beach. And if you love cornbread, oh my God, you have to try theirs! It's warm, buttery, served with honey, and absolutely delicious. I'm telling you, it's worth going just for the cornbread. The breakfasts are great. The lunches are great. The food across the board is fantastic. The bartenders are great. The menu has plenty of variety, and the whole place just has this incredible vibe. Imagine trying to find the restaurant with the biggest personality on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles. That's basically The Attic. There's a certain energy to this place that's hard to describe. It's the same way Palm Springs has its own energy, or Melrose Avenue has a certain feeling you can't quite replicate anywhere else. The Attic has that kind of magic. And the best part? The food actually lives up to the atmosphere. The menu doesn't disappoint, the service is great, and the entire experience feels like something you won't find anywhere else. To me, The Attic represents Long Beach in every possible way. Because that's what makes Long Beach special, right? We're not Orange County. We're not Los Angeles. We're Long Beach. We have our own personality, our own culture, and our own energy. We're a little eclectic, a little unexpected, and completely ourselves. And that's exactly the kind of experience you'll find at The Attic.

Having visited The Attic many years ago, I was excited to return, but this visit was…read moredisappointing--not because of the food itself, but because of poor communication, inattention to detail, and weak customer service. I ordered the vegan sandwich, advertised with a vegan patty, kale, avocado, vegan egg, and bread. I requested a lettuce wrap instead of bread and added tomatoes. After an exceptionally long wait, while nearly everyone else at my table had received their meals, mine arrived missing the tomatoes, vegan egg, avocado, and lettuce wrap. It was essentially a vegan patty on arugula, despite costing approximately $20. Mistakes happen, especially when restaurants are busy or ingredients are unavailable. The problem was the lack of proactive communication. The restaurant apparently had no iceberg lettuce and could only offer arugula, which would have been fine if someone had told me beforehand. The same applies to the missing ingredients; instead, I had to discover each omission myself. The avocado was brought out only after I asked about it, by which point the delayed meal had become frustrating. I eventually requested complimentary fries--not because I wanted something free, but because a gesture of goodwill seemed appropriate. Good hospitality isn't about never making mistakes; it's about how a restaurant responds. Offering alternatives, communicating shortages, adjusting the bill, or providing a small complimentary item can show customers that their experience matters. The Attic has been a recognizable Long Beach establishment for years, making this decline especially disappointing. I don't expect perfection, but I do expect honesty, reasonable communication, and an effort to make things right. I didn't mind paying $20 for a thoughtfully prepared vegan meal; I minded paying $20 for a vegan patty and arugula while repeatedly advocating for the ingredients that were supposed to come with it. Sadly, after many years of remembering The Attic fondly, this experience may have cost them a loyal patron.

A New Job, A New Milestone & A Chance to Rewrite the Narrative…read more My best friend and I have a tradition of celebrating new jobs with a nice dinner. Since this was her new job and a major milestone, I let her choose the restaurant. She had visited Bo-Beau last year but didn't get the full experience, so this was her chance to rewrite the narrative. And it was truly night and day. I researched the restaurant beforehand and was excited to see that Bo-Beau is part of the Cohn Restaurant Group, which I mostly associate with San Diego and South Orange County. After this experience, I really hope they're here to stay. I noted on our reservation that we were celebrating her new job, and for once, the restaurant actually read the note and acknowledged it. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was excellent. The hostess welcomed us downstairs, another staff member greeted us when we reached the rooftop, and our server quickly followed up. Then came the surprise: complimentary champagne for both of us. It was such a thoughtful gesture, especially because those little celebratory touches seem to be increasingly rare. Our server was also patient with our questions and attentive throughout the evening without being intrusive. We spent about 2.5 hours enjoying dinner and catching up over: Baked Brie Brussels Sprouts Steak Frites Everything was flavorful, and the entire experience felt relaxed, peaceful, and worth the price point. The food was great, but the hospitality is what earned the 5 stars for me. Real hospitality is paying attention to the guest, recognizing the occasion, and making people feel genuinely welcomed. My best friend got the celebration she wanted -- and a much better Bo-Beau experience this time around. Will definitely be returning!

However, a few of the dishes were on the salty side (not the steak). Overall it was a great evening, ambiance was lovely and great atmosphere.

Off the happy hour menu, we got the nachos, fish tacos, and the crunchy tacos. We loved the nachos and the fish tacos- very flavorful and decadent. However, we would probably skip the crunchy tacos next time- there wasn't really anything special about it. We also ordered the naughty fries and two pastas: garlic and parmesan pasta and the spicy mariana cremosa. The serving sizes for the pasta were definitely worth the price, and plus it comes with two pieces of garlic bread. The naughty fries were also really good! In addition to the delicious food, we also ordered 3 of their shaken espressos- cinnamon brown sugar, banana cream, and the cocoa moon rocks. All were pretty solid but I wish the flavor was more coffee forward. The interior of the place is very nice. I loved the light fixtures and the stage. It would be a perfect dinner spot for a night out. Our table was near the window and there's a lot of flies near there, so that was just a little displeasing. In regard to the service, it was a pretty slow. It took a while for us to get our drinks, the check, and also to pay. Our server was really sweet though! Overall, we enjoyed our time here at Luna Bistro and we hope to come back sometime again!

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.

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.
