Welcome to the India Oak Grill, a Clintonville cornerstone for friends, food and fun for over 40 years.
The original Oak was named “Hollies” and located on Indianola where the Huntington Bank now sits. The current location was previously an automated car wash and the original pay window still exists by the front door and looks into the kitchen. There is a special neighborhood feeling at the Oak and chances are someone knows your name. And of course the Oak is famous for our Italian Sub, the “Best Sub in Clintonville” (we think in all of Columbus!). Stop in and sit on our patio or join us for live music every weekend featuring local performers. If you’re looking for great friends and great food and fun, “The Oak” is your spot.
Long-running eatery featuring American grub, a weekday happy hour, live-music nights & patio dining. Based on 673 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.5 stars. Price $

Saw a post on a Facebook sandwich connoisseurs group that they had amazing Italian subs. The sub didn’t disappoint. Perfectly toasted bun and generous amount of meat. It was one of the best I’ve had! If you’re in the area I highly recommend stopping in!

Stopped in to order take out. They were quick and the food was so good. We will be back. Lots of people were sitting outside, enjoying the food and drink. People sitting inside too. Lots of people stopped by to pick up their carry out orders. I can see why. It was affordable and delish!

Have been meaning to go to this place (Indian Oak Grill) forever and always found a reason not to go. Well finally decided to go. After sitting down I was greeted by Nick the bartender. Decided to order the Chili and the Italian Sub. The chili had a nice blend of beans, hamburger, tomatoes, onions, peppers and spices. It had just a slight kick to it which was just right. No wonder why it is listed as one of the best in town. On to the sub sandwich. It has hard salami, hot ham, provolone cheese, lettuce, onion, tomatoes, banana peppers and Italian dressing on I believe an Auddino’s bun that seemed to been pressed by a Panini Press to heat it up and to melt the cheese. It made for a phenomenal sandwich. Nick checked on me numerous times and refilled my drink. Well everything I read about this place was true. Their food is off the chart. Check them out.

I’d driven past here so many times and kept telling myself I needed to stop in. Today, we finally did!

The subs were delicious and huge! Service was friendly and frequent. We went for the live band and it was fun. My only complaint is that the place is too small for the band to play that loudly. Two days later and my ears are still bothering me. We would have stayed longer and spent more money if they would have toned it down even a little bit.

This is great place to get a sense of what Clintonville was like before the boutiques and microbreweries arrived. Come for the legendary italian subs, stay for the unpretentious atmosphere and friendly, attentive bartenders.

If you like Italian subs then this is the best place in Columbus to get one. It’s a local dive bar located down the end of Oakland Park. If you didn’t know it was there you’d miss it. DON’T MISS THIS PLACE. Food is great, atmosphere is great, plenty of bar seating and booths. Fantastic selection of canned and bottle beers as well as liquor. They have a rotating draft selection. Come and experience what Clintonville is all about.

Stopped here while passing through Ohio, far from home. A great little place with tasty pub style food at a very fair price.

We were starving after a late evening event and remembered we had not been here in quite some time. Friendly staff and delicious Italian Sub!
