MVP's Grill & Patio, Long Beach

MVP's Grill & Patio, a cash-only burger joint in Long Beach, has cultivated an impressive following. Its two locations have inspired more than 600 Yelp reviews combined, many of them 4 stars or higher. Most of the praise goes to its burgers, which are named after George Foreman, including the Big "George Foreman," a burger with two 1/3-pound patties, four slices of cheese, and a bun that can take a punch.
