Went here for a brunch as a group and had a wonderful experience! I really like how spacious the…read morevenue is here, with plenty of space to move around and casually hangout. From what I saw, it looked like Pinstripes could easily accommodate several large gatherings happening at the same time without feeling too noisy or crowded. Even with a good number of people enjoying different events at the same time, service was still quick and friendly. The food here was also delicious. All the different fruits and vegetables that I tried here were fresh and colorful, and I really appreciate the extra effort they put into good presentation throughout the buffet. This gave me the feeling of enjoying a nice brunch on a more luxury line of a cruise boat. In particular, the carved meats and various stations like the waffle, omelet, and chocolate fountain stations really stood out. Not only were the items here delicious, but it really gave this brunch a more premium feel and was great for fun pictures with all the customization options available. Overall, great event space with a great brunch option available. I'd like to return here another day to try some of the activity options and try more of their dining options.

I wish I could recall all of the dishes but there were so many. Appetizers were served by people walking around with trays. The same with wine and beer. So classy! If you wanted a drink all you had to to was ask and they would get if for you. This is not typical at 100+ people receptions. This place is a class act from top to bottom. Any special event would be perfect here. And just going there for the heck of it works too! Great place!

Our party was at the bowling lanes. The lanes are available per hour. While bowling our group ordered some food. The food was standard for a bowling alley. Not great but not the worst. The entire time we were there were very loud announcements for birthday parties that were going on. After bowling, we went and played in the arcade. The prices were incredibly high. For a loud and unruly atmosphere, I will not be returning to Main Event Hoffman Estates!

We had a group of 5 and had plenty of room to sit. However the area is quite narrow so it was hard to talk to the whole group. You can add bumpers to each bowler. It's easy to take on and off. You can also add a group selfie to the tv which was quite fun. There was a drink and food menu on the table. They do not list any items as GF. I had to do a lot of research prior to understand what I could eat. The server was knowledgeable. I informed him I was celiac/gluten free. He indicated they have a dedicated fryer for fries so we were able to share them. We also ordered a couple cauliflower pizzas. For drinks, I ordered a peach sangria and frozen strawberry margarita. The food was delicious and the fries had a great seasoning.

Amy and the staff here are so accommodating and dedicated to providing a great customer experience. It's an older venue, but a classic set up for bowling and a variety of options for food and drink in the bar area or party rooms. The pizza served here is really good and has a lot of cheese. My favorite is the thin crust sausage pizza. It is great that you can rent different sized rooms here for events and have them catered well right on-site. They also hold fun events with offerings like trivia or live music too.

This place is definitely small, but cozy, and I love how each lane feels like an intimate area, not your typical bowling alley. Each two-pair of lanes has two vinyl couches facing each other.

We came on a weekday during summer and this place was dead--hoping this place doesn't close for a lack of business because we definitely want to come back!!

People complaining about it being run down are just being rude, that's what gives it charm, it's really not that bad at ALL, it's a bowling alley and honestly everyone there was just having a great time. We will definitely be returning customers. Thank you for a fun, cost friendly experience.

We had the 2 kiddos in tow for a Wednesday and learned that arcade games at Bowlero are 1/2 priced…read moreon Wednesdays.  Yaay for the lucky kiddos!  Anyway, I also found that the various Bowlero's in our vicinity have different hours on Wednesday, I guess due to local business demand.  This Bowlero opens 1pm-11pm on Wednesday, whereas the Bowlero Mount Prospect opens 2pm-11pm and the Bowlero Niles opens 4:30pm-11pm.  So we trekked up here as the earlier the better it was for us on this hot summer day.   Brian and Chris were the fine and helpful pair of staffers on duty and Brian explained the arcade workings for us as we've never been in a Bowlero (though the kiddos have) - checking the kiddo's card balances, the value of the games, showing us the remaining balance display, unjamming a machine when needed, etc. We had the arcade area to ourselves and the kiddos had an energetic blast for about an hour.  We loaded on $10 for each of them and they also each had about $8 on their existing cards.   So it seemed they spent about $36 in an hour and that seemed a bit expensive to me, especially for a 1/2 price Wednesday.  They did earn some trinklets with their ticket winnings though and these are dispensed from a self-service Prize Hub machine.  For what it's worth I remember getting an hour's worth of arcade entertainment for the 2 at Chuck 'N Cheese for $20, and we now have a basis for comparison anyway.  One of the kiddos said the arcade here is bigger than the one at Niles, and we also heard separately that the Buffalo Grove arcade is quite large also. As far as bowling here goes, they have 40 nice and shiny lanes. Weekday games are $6 and weekend games are $10.  Shoe rental is $6.  I don't see us bowling at a Bowlero but it could fit your family's interest or needs.  I'll go with 3 stars as Bowlero seemed about an average value from this experience, but the kiddos had a grand time in any event.

I called and they said come in and we will take care of it. When we got there and asked about it the cashier just said "no" and couldn't care less when I said I had called ahead. Then when trying to use the kiosk to buy arcade credits I couldn't get the machine to work, despite a worker walking by several times seeing me trying to use the machine, when I finally flagged him down he was like "oh yeah it's not working come to the desk." Ok maybe put a sign on the machine or when you see me trying to use it let me know!? Really poor customer service!

What finally arrived was a semi-cold, burnt pizza (pictures attached), while none of our other items ever came out. When we requested a refund, the manager first said "no refunds." About 15 minutes later, he returned with a refund receipt, saying it was the best he could do. I understand they were extremely busy, but this isn't the way to operate an establishment. You prepay for your food, seat yourself, and then servers wander around aimlessly checking table receipts with no real system or direction. They're clearly in need of table tracker devices or better organization. The bathrooms were clean. The only thing that kept this from being an even harsher review was Mathew, who was genuinely kind and tried to help. Without him, my experience would have been much worse.
