Downtown Oip & Grille

We stopped for lunch last week and it was fairly nice. The waitress was very nice. The food was pretty good. Im not sure about the thick homemade bread that seems to be very popular in this area. I would prefer my subs to be on a lighter bread. The pizza was good and they sell by the slice which was very nice esp for guests with children. My grand kids liked it very much. They offered a kids menu and coloring books. as good as it gets for italian. Well done

Look, if you want a great sandwich then you need to go to the downtownOIP. Simply the best Pittsburgh sandwich outside of Pittsburgh and maybe the best if we were in Pittsburgh! Try it with egg! Best sandwiches in Central PA.

I’m going to go ahead and give this place a 4 star review. We stopped in here on a whim while passing through the forgotten downtown of Lewistown, and it looked like the most happening place around.
One thing that separates this OIP from the others that dot the state of Pennsylvania is the fact that they are also a grille and serve a much more extensive menu such as sandwiches and appetizers not normally found at an OIP.
On our visit we stuck with the OIP staple which is Pizza. This Pizza was pretty decent I’d say middle of the road as far as NY style Pizza go’s. Overall it did not disappoint.
The standout at this OIP is the great waitress we had. She was very helpful, and overall pushed this review to the 4 stars. Another standout is the fact that they give you 10% off your bill if you are a AAA member. I rarely see this at a non-​chain restaurant, and hardly ever get to use that AAA card that sits in my wallet craving attention.
Overall I would stop in again if in the Downtown Lewistown area.

I’ll make this short. I do business in the area and chose this place to order from for lunch. I ordered four large pizzas and two 2-​liter sodas. Beside the fact that they couldn’t have the pizzas ready when I needed them to be even after calling an hour in advance, they wanted to charge me $.70 for each of the 15 paper plates I asked for. Are you joking? Spent over $ 70 on food and they can’t just give paper plates that cost pennies on a dollar? Makes sense though, the place is completely dead and they have about 10 people working. Guess they need to make money somehow. Oh, and the food is mediocre at best. Won’t be bringing my business here again.

Another Go to place… groups meet there all the time. Don’t even question if it’s good… if it’s on the menu it’s worth eating. Strombolis are HUGE here (seriously I at 265lbs order a MEDIUM if I’m REALLY hungry and want to take some home). Ribs, wings, pasta, pizza, subs, they’re all good. They’ve also added the dessert display (which I’ve never had but they all LOOK seriously awesome I just never have room).
Wait staff is prompt and professional refills happen without asking.
Multiple stages of seating allow you to pick from a slightly dim lit bench seating to high bistro seating to large family style tables to a shaded indoor porch almost picnic style. This leaves a little bit of anything for everyone.
The ONLY thing that hurts this place is Location Location Location. Downtown metered parking SUCKS! Overall though this place brings a degree of Honor to the OIP name.

Great ribs. Their ribs have a great slightly sweet sauce that I love. I use to go to a place in State College for ribs until I tried these. They have been the ribs of choice since although there is competition from a new local place. The Friday night party pack of Ribs, Pizza and Wings are at least a frequent must.
I’m not a big fan Italian food and in a area over flowing with Italian restaurants this is one of the best according to my family.

The service is spotty. Sometimes good, sometimes so-​so. I think this is due to the younger average age of the waitresses. The older ones are great. The parking is bad during the weekend supper hours. Other than that, it isn’t that bad.
The menu has some of the best variety in Mifflin County. The wings are also the best in the county.
The atmosphere is great for families. The owners are some of the best in Mifflin County.
Try the ribs and chicken for a change from the typical OIP food. One of my favorite dishes in the county.

Great place for food and friends. Warm comfortable atmosphere for family meals or a night out. Fresh baked bread makes any meal exquisite. Highly recommend.

I’ve eaten here several times over the years, on visits home to see the folks. They do a hell of a great barbecue rib dinner. Recently, they annexed the storefront next door and expanded their dining room, doubling their seating area and also adding a coffee and pastry counter.
Their pizza isn’t QUITE as good as the Original OIP, and their bread isn’t QUITE as good, and their subs aren’t QUITE as good, and their dinners and salads aren’t QUITE as good, but still pretty good. Tonight I had a southwestern chicken sandwich that was really tasty, with a seasoned chicken breast and mushrooms, onions, and peppers, plus a little cheese. My dad devoured the stromboli in less than ten minutes.
Parking stinks? I parked right in front of the restaurant. There were three spots on the half-​block. Where else does that happen but in small-​town America?

Best pizza and wings in the area.
The wing sauce is simply amazing. Sweet and hot, great for dipping your pizza as well!
I only recommend take-​out though. Parking stinks, limited seating, and poor service.
