This MVP Grill on 4th and Temple is actually the original out of the three that are scattered around Long Beach. This review is specifically for this location which is the one I frequent.



Whenever I am in the mood for a burger and fries, with no hesitation do I make my way to MVPS. This place is a legend. Started out at a little shack on 4th street a few blocks away from Redondo. Now they have upgraded and it's nice to see that!



Their menu items are named after athletes (hence the name) which is really cool. The burgers are amazing! Truthfully, I've never had anything other than their burgers and fries... And I've been a regular customer for the past 5+ years. Although their sandwiches, burritos, hot dogs, and salads look great... I'm a burger loving American. Every time I attempt to order something different from their menu, I end up ordering a different burger...... They're just that good!



Their variation of the "George Foreman" is a little confusing at first but actually very simply just regular Hamburger, Cheeseburger, Bacon Avocado Cheeseburger, Double Cheeseburger. I believe all their burgers are topped with some Cajunaise dressing which is ridiculously good! There's a crazy 3 patty burger called The Hat Trick (all you sports fans should get this reference) and few other crazy amazing features such as:



Shaq Burger: Double meat, double cheese, double bacon and Avocado. All the fix ins and their cajunaise dressing



Kobe Bryant Burger: Pepper Jack cheese, cheeseburger, beef franks, the fix ins, and cajunaise dressing



Mike Tyson Burger: Pastrami, Avocado, double meat, Swiss cheese, all the fix ins...



Just to name a few.



No matter what burger you decide to try (it's a really hard choice, trust me) DO NOT PASS UP ON THEIR CAJUN FRIES!!!! They're perfect. I'm super picky when it comes to French fries, I hate thin crispy fries and do not like fries too thick and wedgy. These are just right! A nice crisp, perfect thickness, and the Cajun seasoning gives it an awesome kick. You can also choose regular seasoned or non-seasoned fries. The bonus is that their portions are overly generous! You have the option of half order of fries ($2.75) or full order of fries ($3.95). A half order of fries is enough for 2-3 people, I can only imagine how many villages a full order can feed... Perfect with a side of their house made ranch for .50 cents.



Although quite small, MVP grill has a welcoming environment. The seating inside is a mix of booth cushions and standard chairs along the walls. There's a bar connected right next door, and you can order at the counter, head on through to the bar and they'll bring your food out to you at the bar. There's a small patio out back with additional seating.



Service is phenomenal. I've had every cashier and even the owners take my order and it is clear that exceptional service is a priority at MVP Grill & Patio.



My fellow burger lovers and foodies, I highly recommend you stop by and treat yourself to a mouthwatering masterpiece of meat and veggies piled high. Thank me later.
