“ This is my first time eating here. Ordering was easy. Food came out quickly and was delicious. ”
“ Flavorful. Inviting. Unpretentious. These are the first three words that come to mind when I think of my experience at MVP Grill & Patio on 4th Street in Long Beach, CA. I would like to start by saying, when considering your dining options, anyone in the LBC knows that the list for potential places to eat is nearly endless and as a restaurateur on the opposite side of the transaction, one could imagine that it's especially competitive. In my opinion, this is where passion, pride of ownership and commitment to customer satisfaction dictate whether you succeed or fail. The owner, David Aguilera, exemplifies all of these qualities and it’s always a treat to be dining in when David is working, or his brother, Andrew, for that matter. They are personable, humorous and really put the dedication to their craft on display whenever possible. From time to time, when my girlfriend and I branch out and find a new place to eat for the first time, our experiences aren't always memorable. Or at least, if they are, they can be for the wrong reasons. Those reasons might include an unfriendly host taking our order, an unrealistic delay in receiving our food or simply the food just doesn’t taste good. In fact, I believe a person can taste the difference between an apathetic cook that prepared a meal with no love in it compared to a passionate cook that prepared a meal with heart and soul. I have found the latter to be the case in every bite that I took at MVP Grill & Patio on 4th Street. I really enjoy the ambiance here. Seeing as the name is MVP’s Grill & Patio, you’ll find no shortage of sports fans here. I love the artwork of various influential sports figures on the walls along with the fun menu items that are cleverly named after different athletes. If you’re just wanting to stay out of the heat and dine inside, there are plenty of screens to gaze at while you eat or if you’re in the mood for dining outside on their covered patio (my favorite) that’s also a preferred option. Whether it's a business luncheon, a cool spot to hangout with your buddies or even to have a casual date night, MVP’s caters to all the above. One of my go-to sandwiches has to be the “Michael Jordan” which is a cajun chicken breast sandwich topped with red onion, lettuce, tomato and a swirl of basil pesto served between two slices of fresh sourdough bread. I am a stickler when it comes to chicken. Nothing ruins a meal like biting into squishy or fatty chicken and I am pleased to say that the chicken breast served at MVP’s is cooked thoroughly and crisp with each bite. Additionally, all of the sandwiches are served with fries and, as an upgrade, you can have cajun fries (worth it!). The fries are made fresh for every order and have the perfect ratio of crunch and softness to them. Another honorable mention, when I’m in the mood for a burger, has to be the “George Foreman III” (pictured below). While this may appear to be your standard bacon & cheese burger, it is anything but! The house cajun dressing really “makes” it, quite honestly. The burger itself has as much flavor as anyone could ask for with just the right proportion of each ingredient and the serving size is just right. As always, no sandwich is complete without the fries (cajun, in my case!) Recently, while enjoying my “Michael Jordan” chicken sandwich, David sat down with me and discussed some of the origins of MVP’s Grill & Patio on 4th Street. MVP’s started as a humble establishment owned and operated by David’s uncle and quickly became a Long Beach staple. After learning the business for a number of years and paying close attention to detail along the way, David has since taken the reins himself and brought along new ideas with him in the short time that the restaurant has been under his control (1 years so far). As ambitious as I believe David to be, I am optimistic to see what new additions await MVP’s Grill & Patio in the future. MVP’s Grill & Patio hits a homerun! Now the ball is in your court. They’ll supply the good food and good vibes. Just don’t forget to bring your appetite! ”
“ Amazing food. I love the burgers. The fries are amazing. My mom and aunt tired the fries two months ago and they were surprised by how amazing they tasted. I love the fires so much. ”
“ This place is a hidden gem on 4th street! So glad I gave it a try. Breakfast burrito pictured below! Great price & great food! Will definitely be back! ”
“ This place has the best burgers in town! Love the little pub style eatery. The menu is huge for little place. If you are sports fan, you'll love the menu with all the famous athletes names for each items. I’m a big fan of their burgers and pastrami sandwiches. Be sure to order the seasoned fries too! You will just have to find out for yourself! As always...the best places are the “little hole in walls”. And this is it! ”
“ It’s a cool laid-back sports style type burger joint. I like the concept of all the burgers being named after different players in different sports. I personally enjoyed the Mike Tyson burger. It’s pretty good came with double patty, meat, spicy pepper, pastrami, and some cheese on the line I give it a 4 to 5 just because I think it is a little pricey, but other than that, it’s pretty good ”
“ The burgers here are top tier. They are very flavorful every time I come here. My go-to is the Shaq burger. Yes! It is a really big burger and no I do not finish it. I usually cut it in half and share with my husband. I really like all the toppings they put on this burger. No other burger on the menu tastes like the Shaq burger. I wish they had a Shaq Jr just so I can have a smaller version. Oh and they give soooo many fries. If you’re a fries person then you’ll like this place. I always get the half fries and it comes with sooo many. I need a 1/3 of fries option lol. The overall takeaway, They give you a lot of food and the burgers are delicious and flavorful. Easy 5 stars ”
“ The food here is amazing. I've had several dishes here. The only reason I give atmosphere a low star is because I went to the one on redondo and tenth, and there's only outside seating. ”
