Cook's Two Hole Bar & Grill

This is our favorite place for burgers in the valley! We love the old town bar and grill atmosphere.

Burger was HUGE and so good! Checked out the onion rings and they did not disappoint. Atmosphere made me feel at home 🤍

I love them and I know the owners and we had so much fun there and we ate there and play pool

Great little place in a great little town! Drinks💯 Food 💯 Nice ladies serving & clean bathrooms ✅

jalapeno double burger was the best burger I've had in a long time very friendly and very informative staff cleanliness was a plussigns of social distancing on the door I appreciate this store and this establishment and will visit in future

We ordered the cheeseburger and fries very good quick service.

Delicious burgers and some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Looking forward to going back.

Two five-star ladies running this little bar and grill. I went for a burger and a beer on a Friday afternoon. Nothing fancy about the menu or the cheeseburger. This lets the quality of the ingredients and prep come through. One of the best burgers in the Valley. Good selection of bottled beers and a few on draft. The bar has a lot of history and character. If you are anywhere near this place you should find a reason to stop in.

They have the best double cheeseburger with ham. It hit the spot three days in a row. Also, cold beer and great friendly service.

This small town bar and grill is great. Good burgers. Good portion sizes. As well as you get the amazing experience too.

This place has the most amazing burgers I have ever had. We travel almost 40 miles to come here and eat. It's definitely a more homely/bar atmosphere but it's still nice. The only downside is that they don't accept debit cards so be sure to bring cash!

Great local hang out in Meba. Just what I needed and expected on our Saturday drive.

The food is always amazing.... Customer service is great... You get the small farm town feel from it... One of my childhood favorites.

BEAST burger!! Beast lunch in Melba hands down. Huge Burger, fries and a beer for less than 10$

Love this place. Awesome food and great prices. Can't wait till next time I get to eat here. Thank you Cooks

Great small town watering hole. Perfect pit stop after a day adventuring in the Owyhee Front. 3 pool tables!

Had a great time! Food and drinks were excellent and the service was friendly and helpful. This is a small town watering hole, not a ritzy place at all. Good music, sports on tv, pool tables, exactly what you think you're going to find in Melba. Thanks for being so friendly!

Super good feels like home and here is an essay to help you write a good review.

A great restaurant review can point you toward your new favorite spot—or help you avoid a dining disaster. Review sites like Yelp and TripAdvisor have an abundance of restaurant reviews to browse, but if you spend any time on these sites you’ll notice not all reviews are helpful.

Some reviews are positive, but are so vague that you question their legitimacy. Some might have helpful information, but are so poorly written they’re unintelligible. And other submissions read more like a personal rant than a restaurant review.

Think you’re ready to share your own two cents? Don’t let your review fade into the background of mediocrity! In today’s post we’re sharing how to write a restaurant review that’s captivating, memorable, and useful for your fellow diners.

Here’s a tip: Want to make sure your writing always looks great? Grammarly can save you from misspellings, grammatical and punctuation mistakes, and other writing issues on all your favorite websites.

Here’s How to Structure a Memorable Restaurant Review

1 Set the Stage
Let readers know immediately that the review contains useful information and is worth reading. Open the review with an enticing line that promises an interesting payoff (whether delicious or dreadful).

Next, share some context. Why did you decide to try this particular restaurant? What time of day did you go? What size was your party? How did the waitstaff treat you? What was the ambiance like?

It may look like your average neighborhood pizza joint, but Acme Pizza is anything but!
I wandered in with two friends on a Friday night, and was immediately greeted by the friendly staff and incredible aroma of baking pizza. The restaurant was filling up quickly (it was almost 7:00 pm) but we managed to snag a table.

2 Deliver the Main Course
How was the food? If a dish was “great,” be sure to describe why. What were the flavors, textures, and appearance like? Carefully select a few punchy adjectives for your descriptions—too few will leave your writing bland, too many will bog it down.

We ordered the garlic knots and two medium pies to share: the XX (pesto, artichoke, red onion, bacon, feta, mozzarella) and the XY (marinara, pepperoni, Italian sausage, mozzarella).
The garlic knots were little bombs of buttery, yeasty goodness, and the garlic was robust but not overpowering. When our pizzas arrived, our expectations continued to be exceeded.

The crust was crisp, flavorful, and chewy. The toppings worked together beautifully. The marinara and pesto were packed with flavor, and the mozarella had a great consistency and very little oil. By the end of the meal we were planning our next visit.

3 Wrap Up the Takeaway
End with a punchy summary of why you think other diners should (or shouldn’t) visit the restaurant.

Don’t let appearances fool you—the decor may be divey, but the pies are fantastic. This place is perfect for groups or a casual date night.
5 Essential Tips for Writing a Memorable Restaurant Review

Now that you know the basics, follow these tips to ensure your reviews are always captivating!

1 Take Notes (and Pictures!)
To write a vibrant review, you’ll want to capture your thoughts and experiences while they’re still fresh. Use your smartphone or notebook during the meal to jot down highlights and subtler details (e.g., the wait staff was welcoming and attentive, you enjoyed the agricole rum in your cocktail, the tiramisu was soggy and disappointing).

This is a wonderful little grill that has really good food for very fair prices! The atmosphere is that of an old dive bar, with pool tables, but it is clean and serviced well. Customer service is definitely top notch!

Great local bar if you like places that aren't too rowdy and have good prices. They also have several pool tables and the staff is always really cool. I've got the chance to meet several locals and get to know people in my community better here. Will definitely be back.
