The main waitress seemed under the infulence of some type of uppers and very disheveled. Unfortunately we had already ordered at the front or we would have likely left without eating. I'm not saying that the folks there weren't nice to us. But when the lady delivers the pizza's and she has a bandage covering a wound that is flappin in the wind as she sets the pizza's down, it kind of makes you lose your appetite. It is sad to see that. Our whole table felt bad for her. The experience says a lot for the state of labor and the workforce. After going there I looked up the place here and it looks like I am not the first to have this experience. Unfortunately I will not be going back to this restaurant.

The sandwiches are, in my opinion, better than the two other sources within a block or two: Gary's Super Value grocery store and Subway. There are half-a-dozen or so sources for pizza in town, but, believe it or not, Casey's pizza is really good, and at a reasonable price to boot. Even if you order a pizza on the spot, it doesn't take an eternity to bake. The pizza in the case is always fresh, because they change it out regularly. But order by phone and stop by to get it--or they'll deliver it to wherever you are (within reason). It's certainly worth a shot!

The…read morebuilding is divided into the pizza restaurant/kitchen up front with the bar and additional dining seating in the back, with a half wall and walk-through separating the two spaces. Luckily, it wasn't too busy, so the bartender leaned over the half wall and let us know how to order. It's all self-service and you actually have to walk up to the counter to place your order, pick up your utensils & plates, and clear your own table. We had the ultimate cheese bread with dipping sauces (both the Alfredo and marinara were delicious!) and also ordered a large Herb's Heaper pizza with olives on half only. Pizza order was accurate and came out quickly, had the perfect amount of sauce and toppings, and was loaded with cheese. A good solid 8/10 for both breadsticks and pizza. The only downside is that the bar and the pizza are on separate operating systems and the bar didn't take debit cards. I had to withdraw cash at the bar ATM to get a beer to go with my pizza, which was inconvenient. Now that we know the quirks, we'll bring cash for the bar and will know how to order next time. We will be back!

Herb N'Lou's Pizza is a no-frills pizza joint that is a huge must-have for this small town…read more We were in town for Hoover Ball. It was a long day of games, in the heat. By the end we were famished! So we decided to pop down the street to this hole in the wall pizza spot. It was happenin'. There's no waitstaff. You order at the window and they hand you an old school ticket.... it takes a minute for your order to be made. Don't forget to listen for your number! They only yell it once or twice then just let it sit in the window, waiting for it to be claimed. We got the cheesy bread (A GOTTA-TRY) -- I am a breadstick snob, these were legit and the marinara was fab. The pizza is thin crust, and hit the spot. The cheese and pepperoni were piping hot. Seating is limited and large parties could be accommodated but it could take a minute to make a table large enough. We had 11 and were able to squeeze into two tables by the front window, luckily. (That being said it was an off time, so if it had been a peak 'dinner time' hour-- we would have been SOL.) Overall, bang for buck was good. Parking is a non-issue. This wouldn't necessarily be as successful of a spot in bigger cities, but for West Branch-- you can tell this is a local favorite both for the food and as a watering hole. (The bar area was jam packed.)
