Actually I see you have a pull-up on pin 1 and also have pin 7 tied low.

I don't see how pin 7 can be any problem for me but looking at the PCB I notice it doesn't have the pull-up on pin 1.

Existing (pre-programmed) 16F883's I have on my bench are working fine when inserted into this PCB so I have reservations thinking that's the problem at hand.

Thanks for your responses everyone.

See Darrel's Question...

In your code above, you have MCLRE enabled.

But in the schematic you don't have a pull-up on MCLR (Pin 1).

Is the RW pin on the LCD connected to the PIC, or is it grounded?
