Went to Pinstack with some friends the other day. We bowled for about an hour and then enjoyed some food. Wasn't super busy so that might have been why but we didn't run into any major issues bowling or eating. The food was good though nothing mind blowing and the server, Nick I think his name is, was pretty friendly and helped us out a lot. Overall I had a pleasant experience here and didn't run into any major problems. That deserves four stars. read more

This was my first time coming and it seems like they have improved a lot ever since their opening. You can tell everything is new and good quality. I enjoyed their music playlist while bowling, and their milkshakes are a generous size. I also liked their arcade and how there are different games here than other places. The mushroom prizes we picked out were cute! My feedback is there were some things wonky with the arcade, like not being able to tap in a second player for the duck water racing game. There was also a claw machine game where the claw didn't even attempt to grab the toy. Also, when I asked the server if I could simply get a water cup he seemed annoyed. read more

I will say that this place definitely deserves more stars than it currently has. We had such an amazing time at Pinstack! From the moment we walked in, everything was great. The atmosphere was fun, clean, and energetic, and there was something for everyone to enjoy. The staff was friendly and helpful, and everything ran smoothly. We especially loved how much there was to do beyond bowling. It made it such a fun experience for the whole family, and we genuinely didn't want to leave! It's not often that everyone in the family has an equally great time, but Pinstack definitely delivered. We have gone 3 times in the past month and can't wait to come back. 2 out of the 3 times, I went with family and once as a date night with my husband. We still had a blast just the two of us! We haven't tried any of the food yet, but have had a few drinks which were great! Our server was attentive and friendly despite it being so busy the last time we went. I would absolutely recommend Pinstack to anyone looking for a fun family outing, date night, or just somewhere to have a great time with friends. 10/10 from us, we'll definitely be back! read more

I came with my friend and my boyfriend to check it out and get a feel of that atmosphere. There is two levels upstairs had a nice size bar and that's where the bowling area is. They even have a VIP or private bowling area so that was cool in the outdoor area with the big screens was nice. I think that was one of my favorite areas. I also enjoyed the variety of arcade games they have. The Rock wall is nice. It was fun to watch other people do it. I'm scared of heights so I did not get on there, but it was surprisingly high It's definitely something that adults can get on. I was expecting a shorter wall. The bumper cars area is small. I would not get that. I think it's perfect for younger kids. I did not do the razor tag, but there's something I will definitely come back and check out. Staff was really friendly and helpful. We did order drinks at the bar upstairs and then decided to check out the bar downstairs. One of the drinks that we requested downstairs was not made to our liking and the bartender was nice enough to redo a drink for us. I didn't try any food, but I will definitely be back to try some of the food and go bowling . I think this area definitely needed something like this if you're looking for a place to gather with friends and family. I think this is a great spot. There something for everyone. read more

Pinstack - Bowling Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

Fun place with a lot going on. It's basically a high-tech arcade with bowling, laser tag, wall climbing, bars, and restaurants all under one roof. It's still pretty new, so they're definitely working out some of the kinks. They were out of the beer I wanted, and some of the staff seemed like they were still getting comfortable in their roles. Nothing unusual for a new place though. If you've been to Dave & Buster's, you'll get the idea. They have two bowling alleys (one on each floor) and two restaurant/bar areas. The upstairs outdoor patio is really nice with plenty of seating and big TVs. The food was good overall. We had the Pzza, Brisket nachos, and the Bacon-Wrapped Filet and Philly. Everything was tasty enough, but nothing really stood out as a must-have. They have a huge beer selection on tap, although they were out of a few options when we visited. Our bartender, Grace, was great. She was still figuring a few things out, but she had an awesome attitude, was friendly, and made the experience fun read more

I'm so sorry but please avoid this place from the lack of staff training to the long wait times I liked the food and the vibe but this is not an enjoyable experience at all! read more

The food was lackluster. The drinks came out slowly. However Gianna was a delight and carried the entire experience. She had a smile on her face and kept a positive vibe for my friends and I. Couldn't ask for a better server. read more

Took the family to Pinstack Sterling tonight and it did not disappoint. I saw some older reviews mentioning issues when they first opened, but we didn't run into any of that at all, place felt totally dialed in. Bowled 3 games, hit up the claw machines and actually won several prizes (kids were thrilled). Food was really good too, we got the half chicken, a Philly cheesesteak, and some egg rolls, and everything came out fast and tasted great. Cordell was our server and he was very attentive. Malik helped us out too and was really nice about it. Whole family had a great time, we'll be back for sure!! read more

Trinity treated our whole group of ppl great even went above and beyond to do others jobs

Trinity was an amazing bartender and she was also our server as well. Amazing service and even better personality.

Our bar tender was absolut wonderful. Trinity she was great she was always at our table we never went thirsty.

Trinity was the best bar tender and server I've had in a long time shes done an excellent job.

trinity is the best bartender around! she is amazing and served us the best ever! I highly recommend coming back when she is working her service is the best I have ever had! read more

The environment was great good service trinity was helpful and fast at the bar great service a great place for a night out with friends

I will start out noting that this review is not concerning food or beverages. Just entertainment. That being said we had a great time here, we came in on a Sunday afternoon and it was surprisingly not super busy. So we were able to try out everything we wanted to. They have a good amount of bowling alleys both upstairs and downstairs. Lots of arcade games to choose from - even some pinball machines upstairs! Love the lighting inside, I like a more dimly lit arcade and this place delivers on that ambiance. They also offer laser tag, bumper cars, a climbing wall, and a sort of obstacle course in the air. All can be payed for with your card that you load with points at the many kiosks around the place. They do have a bar both upstairs and downstairs and a restaurant area downstairs where you can order food and drinks. They have a nice size outdoor area upstairs with seating and there is a ping pong table out there as well. For it only being open a few weeks, I think they are doing great and I am excited to have another option in the area to play arcade games at. read more

Got the Alfredo penne with chicken. Had to ask for salt and pepper because it's not seasoned AT ALL. The triple dipper was not good. The queso was ok but the buffalo dip and artichoke dip were watery and tasted funny. We were sat and waited 12 minutes before any server came to the table. I had to search for a staff member who then found us a server. The server was nice and apologetic. The games and arcade are fun but the food is NOT GOOD read more

Been here for 6 hours having the time of my life! But the VIP of my visit? Antony!! My server on the outdoor bar. We paid for the VIP bowling lanes, but didn't experience the VIP treatment until we met Antony. He treated us like family and I live here now. Ha! Seriously, come for the fun, but come see Anthony to feel like you belong. read more

My family and I went twice now over the past 2 weeks. We won't try dining there for at least another couple months until they get the wrinkles smoothed out--no milkshakes, no pizza, cold food, long wait times. The food that did come out had good flavor though and was fairly priced. So as of now, dining I would give 2 stars. When we spoke to Tyler H. about the issues he gave us the best customer service experience and made everything right! So because of that we went back again today. Today was half off games (we won't go when games are full price because the value isn't there). But the selection of games is fantastic compared to other similar venues, and prizes can actually be won. Lots of people were walking around with their winnings, so the games are definitely fair. Only about 4 were out of order. Games definitely get 5 stars! My daughter tried the rock wall which is HUGE. Shout out to Cody working the rock wall--he was so kind and patient with my young daughter. Genuinely a nice guy and he knew what he was doing. I had been worried about safety before arriving but he took time to make sure everything was secure and good to go- thanks Cody! We also tried the bumper cars. They were fun and pretty fast, and the length of time was fairly reasonable. We haven't tried bowling or the ropes course yet but so far attractions get 5 stars from us. Customer service is always fantastic as well, so 5 stars for the employees. After weighing the dining issues with everything else they have to offer and prices, I give them 4 stars and we will probably go back to try bowling and play more games. read more

Unfortunately, I believe this business is going to have a difficult time becoming profitable in it's current state. For starters, we had numerous issues with the bowling lane as the pin rack wouldn't reset for about 15 minutes of the hour session. We ended up getting moved to a different lane and were given an extra 5 minutes of time. When my group ordered food, they seemed to be out of a lot of options on a Monday night because of half-priced apps. As far as food quality, here's a detailed description of what we got: Chicken nachos: No seasoning on the chicken. The only thing that barely saved it was the cheese sauce which was still mid at best. Chicken quesadilla: Taco Bell is better... so that should tell out a lot. Meatballs: I'm about 99.9 percent sure those were either from Costco or Restaurant Depot. Loaded fries: I'd say the most tolerable option just not worth paying full price over. Overall score: 2/10 and that's being generous And just when I thought it couldn't get worse, the service proved me wrong. From the time we started bowling, it took 20 minutes until a server arrived to greet us to take our orders. In addition, when we needed drink refills, our server was no where to be seen. He magically appeared as soon as I attempted to grab refills from the bartender after waiting about 15 minutes. Overall, It just did not seem like we were that much of a priority. I can only hope that management sees this review and takes immediate action. I love the concept; however, this may be a one and done for me. For the sake of the community, please do better. read more

Such a great experience. The customer service at the bar was a 10/10! Trinity was AMAZING! So attentive, and the drinks she made were so delicious! The food was good the vibes were good . Would definitely recommend. read more

trinity was absolutely amazing took very well care of us even went as far as to do the guys job who takes care of the bowling rentals

Very disappointed with our experience at Pinstack. We waited 45 minutes just for a pizza, fries, and a kids' meal. The cheese on the fries was extremely dry and seemed like it had been sitting out for a while. The pizza was nothing special either. Honestly,I think Costco pizza tastes much better. For the price and the amount of time we waited, it was simply not worth it. Such a waste of time and money. read more

So much potential! I really wanted to love this place. My daughter and I spent the afternoon there today. We bowled, did the bumper cars, and played video games. They don't seem to have enough people working. At times we waited and waited to speak someone at the front only to find out we did not have to speak with them. Bowling for example is handled in the back or upstairs. It was also pretty hot, I don't ever remember sweating my butt off BOWLING. They only had one server so ordering was a wait as well, which is complicated when you are paying for the time you have the lane. The games where okay, my daughter is 12 but a lot of the games seemed like they belong at Chucky Cheese. The food was not bad but we got no silverware or napkins. The staff, when you could track them down were nice enough. It IS pretty expensive for the bowling and video games. All in all I think with better management and better pricing, it could be A LOT better. I'm on the fence if I would come back. read more

We just held our triplets' 9th birthday party here yesterday, and it turned out great! We opted for the package that included the activities, such as bumper cars, rock climbing, ropes, laser tag, and some arcade games (no bowling), along with reserved seating. Our hostess, Sunja, was very attentive and helpful with specific requests. She was super animated and engaged with the kids when explaining how the game cards worked. The guests were all impressed with the facility, and the kids had a blast together. One note to mention that was confusing to us, the two hours of game time starts at the first swipe of the game card, and the reserved seating is only for 1.5 hours (at least on our contract). We were hesitant with how this would work, but we opted to have pizza (which was so good!) and cake first all together, then begin their 2 hours of game time after. This way we could maximize the playing time without having to stop for food, and the guests (20 kids plus parents) could be all together for the first hour. The space was nice, and there were lawn games to keep them busy between dinner and dessert. We didn't have a place to hold the guests' party favors since our reserved time was short, but the manager, Jasmine, was really friendly and helpful in finding a solution. The kids LOVED the activities and had so much fun together. Overall, we had a great experience, and I would recommend it here if you are planning a birthday! read more

This place has massive potential, but the owners must be new to the restaurant business. The few servers are lovely but ill-prepared to manage a crowd. The bathroom is gross and needs cleaning. We waited over an hour for a small pizza and a milkshake. This place needs new ownership ASAP. read more

I genuinely have nothing good to say about this place. It was terrible from start to finish. The service in the restaurant was abysmal. There are seemingly many people that work here but anytime we needed something, like water, plates, silverware, someone to take our order, literally anything, we were told they couldn't help us. I wish I could say the bowling portion of the night was better, but alas, I cannot. Don't waste your time paying extra for the VIP lanes. They came with exactly nothing. We paid $130 for what? We have no idea. There were no servers anywhere to be found. We ended up only being able to play one game because our lane kept malfunctioning. We decided to leave after 40 minutes. Any chance for a refund, you ask? Nope. No chance. One and done. We will not be back. read more

The place has potential. It has a lot to offer. My kids and I weren't able to bowl, there was a 2 hr wait time. Went to order an appetizer and it took over 1 hr for chicken quesadilla. For this place to succeed they are going to need to hire more staff. Might as well go to Dave and Busters. read more

The place is nice, big and has courteous workers but management of this place is horrendous. We ordered food and asked about it multiple times with the only resolution was apologies. Ordered two things and after 1 hour of waiting, still no food. I finally gave up and checked out . It seems like since they just opened, they can't get the kitchen to properly fulfill orders. An hour is probably an understatement honestly. Still, got an apology , no credit on the drinks and got a microwaved burnt French fries which I took a pic of. They need to fix these issues before opening but now I wonder if they will ever get it together. Big waste of time today read more

Pinstack was wonderful perfect for a first time experience. Definitely recommend you guys check it out . Out server trinity was also amazing . Food was perfect as well read more

Came here for bowling and dinner. The hour of bowling was fine. After about 20 mins, we asked for menus from the bowling desk. After one hour, a server still never came by. Went to the bar to try to get drinks, but the bartender left the bar. We were prepared to spend a few hours, but decided to leave since we couldn't get food or drink. Maybe you should restrict food/drink service to the bar area until you have more staff and don't give people the expectation there is bowling alley service. read more

The food was not that good, needed to be heated up more. the wings were the only thing that was good.

The first lane we were on was setting pins but not scoring, so we were moved to another lane. But the approaches on both the lanes we played on were sticky, making it hard to slide - and the lanes didn't seem to have any oil on them at all, so anything but a house ball is going to veer directly into the gutter. We got there at 10:00 am right after opening, so it was surprising that the lanes were so dry. In three games, I didn't need to wipe my ball off even once. One of the guys working there said that they were supposed to oil the lanes every morning, but couldn't tell us if it had actually been done. I was hoping the lanes would be good because Pinstack is so close to home, but it's not for anyone who actually wants to bowl for real. It's probably lots of fun if you're a little kid, if you're there for the arcade aspect, or if you just want to hang out with friends. But for bowling? Unfortunately, I'll have to go somewhere else. read more

There clearly is not enough staff and servers are not adequately trained. I waited over 30 minutes for a turkey burger. It arrived luke warm and missing avocado. I was charged for cheese when the menu clearly indicated that cheese was a part of the offering. My wife tried ordering a second drink three times before it was finally ordered. There were dirty dishes and glasses all over the bar. read more

For a new place that opened up a couple of months ago they have a long way to go. We were seated in the patio first for about 10 minutes and no one came to see us. We had to move inside and finally someone came to great us. The food was mediocre and had to send back my food because they didn't have my order right, they made my son's meal wrong and had to re-make it. For a place that has 6 locations in Texas you would think they have their stuff together. We didn't even get the chance to see the bowling or arcade section. Would I recommend this place for dinner, NO. I would wait atleast 6 months before trying. read more

Wow what a mess. Great location, nice patio and cool arcade/games. Food and service, yikes. Nobody knows what's going on, the bar staff is totally overwhelmed (they told me), 7 of 10 Draft beers were sold out and wait staff was lost. I asked to close out my tab and was told, "no, your bartender is on break." Please get your act together and I will come back. But for now, this is goodbye. read more
