Come here for an event and it was a fun experience. The food is nothing to write about but the truffle fries were delicious. The staff were very nice. Overall, cool concept just seems very expensive. The place is very clean and has a happy hour.

Love love the esthetics here, this place is high end bowling. Came for a networking event and the service was great. The drinks were a little weak but that might just be subjective. They had bowling balls that look like pool balls loved them, it was easy to start and allowed for many players. They had comfy sofas I felt like someone's living room. I'll see you there.

This restaurant offers a very nice breakfast buffet in the weekend. We made our reservation online the night before and got the time we wanted. There is a huge selection of food and it was all fresh. Some was better than others. The meats were all delicious. The pastas were only okay. Pastas absorb sauce as they sit, and so the Mac and cheese and other cheese sauce Pasta was dry and bland. But other than that, the shrimp, smoked salmon, eggs, sausage, bacon were all good. The breakfast sausage was fantastic. The dessert center was lovely. Liquor is pricey but we didn't want to drink so it worked for us. This was a good deal for the money foodwise.

Came here before a birthday dinner I had planned for my husband. ( we were early for our other reservation) We sat at the bar and ordered drinks. The bartender, Delmar, asked if we wanted food& we explained that we are going to dinner & I informed him that we were celebrating a birthday. Delmar wished my husband well & he even gave a complimentary dessert which was unexpected and super kind! The place is gorgeous & is furnished beautifully with neon signs and cozy furniture. This location has two levels. Upstairs - main dining area, the bar & outdoor patio. Downstairs - bowling, bocce ball a 2nd bar & a variety of private rooms to rent. This is directly connected to the Garden State Plaza but detached in the sense that you cannot enter the mall through this venue. *Forgot to mention. They have happy hour Monday-Friday from 3-6 which is unheard of! Definitely a place I will return to. Ask for Delmar if you visit!

I visited Pinstripes in Paramus for the first time with family over the weekend. We had such a fun time! Pinstripes is not your average bowling alley. It has such an elevated atmosphere with quality food and service. We booked bowling first, which came to $80 for an hour (roughly about two games). The bowling alley is clean and nicely decorated with a bar area and ample seating. There's also private rooms downstairs for parties. You can eat while you bowl and experience the menu. However, we decided to dine upstairs afterwards. If bowling isn't your thing, bocce is available to play, too! My family and I really enjoyed the Pinstripes menu. We were impressed with the food for sure! There's a decent selection. We started with two flatbreads - the Margherita and chicken avocado club. Perfect shareable bites with a large party, or this could even serve as a main meal. The calamari was also a big hit; very crispy. Some of our favorite entrees that were ordered included the chicken parm and chicken goat cheese pasta. So delicious! I got a classic chicken club sandwich and loved it, especially with my side of Parmesan fries. The tiramisu was excellent and a great way to finish our meal. Our waitress shared that during the summer, Pinstripes offers some happy hour deals. If you visit during happy hour, it's $5 per person to bowl. Such a great deal! We also arrived towards the end of brunch and there was an impressive spread laid out. This seems like a popular option as many people were enjoying the brunch. Pinstripes has a lot to offer. You can book a party, bowl or play bocce with friends, and even visit after work for happy hour deals. I will definitely visit again!

We reserved 530pm for 2 ppl. We were on time but they only brought us in at 550pm. They gave us the whole hour but I can only image the delay at the end of the day would be insane. Nice and pretty decor inside. Good for dates and friends hangout. They also host for big parties. Food is good. Not many lanes tho (9 I saw). If you are serious for bowling, this might not be for you. If you are just chilling w friends and family, I would say it's good.

We were super excited to visit newly opened Pinstripes at GSP. The first impression was sadly so bad I was ready to give it a 3-star, but the bowling experience and the food really avenged the night for us. Our reservation was for 5:30 pm Sunday. Upon arriving right on time, the receptionist notified us there's a delay. It took her 25 minutes to call us back to take us down to the bowling alley. The irony is that, the reservation email says if you are late more than 15 minutes, you loose your spot, but there's no consequence when Pinstripes themselves can't honor the reservation time. During our 25 minutes, no drinks or anything else was offered to us. Anyway, after we went down to the alley, I really liked the spot. It was modern, with 9 lanes, all working well. It's the best bowling alley lane I have been to in Bergen country. No string pins, no issues with the scoring, the controller provides multiple themes and style of play. We were able to play 4 games of 2 players within an hour. Coming to food, the quality was excellent. We tried calamari, lobster flatbread, all were very well made. The berry bliss, gin shot were excellent drinks too. The tap water was a bit ofd tasting though. But nonetheless this also the best food we had any bowling alley. It was legit restaurant quality. The server was on point, often checked with us, brought our food and drinks in timely manner. They also have huge space for hosting private parties. There are bars in both levels. They have 3 bocce lanes too. Overall the bowling and the food really overcame the early hiccups. I do feel the receptionists need more training. They were confused on how much to charge customers between $100 and $80 for one hour. They struggled for a minute to find and decide which bowling lanes to assign us. It all seemed a bit clumsy. But happy to see Pinstripes, a modern bowling and entertainment space opening so close to us. We will visit here many more times in coming future.

We went for the Sunday buffet brunch, and we enjoyed it. There was a wide variety of food - fresh sliced prime rib and maple glazed ham, mozzarella and tomatoes, smoked salmon, salads, Fruits, pizza, scrambled eggs, frittata, bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy, roast chicken, ravioli, Chicken goat cheese spiral pasta, chicken fingers, Brussels sprouts, potatoes, pizza, bagels and croissants, and a chocolate dessert fountain. So there is a huge variety for the price and the food ranges from very good to decent. It is a breakfast buffet, and there aren't many around anymore. Is it the best ever, no. But for the price, it's a great deal. Honestly if all you ate was prime rib you'd get your money's worth. They get you on the drinks. They are ridiculously overpriced. We didn't bother. I have read the other reviews here, and I will say I unfortunately have to agree the service is terrible. Considering they don't need to wait tables and only half of them are full, you rarely see the wait person. They took our dirty plates and utensils. But they never came back with clean utensils. I had to keep taking them off the neighboring unoccupied tables. We ordered refills on soda and she never brought it back. I got up and asked the bartender myself. That said, given it is a buffet and we served ourselves I would still recommend it.

Friendly staff, solid service, and fun spot You walk into an open space, bright, center bar, and work your way downstairs for bocce or bowling. The lanes were really nice but maybe a smidge cramped if it were a full house. We opted for a lunch (2/$18) Poke bowl Lobster flat bread And an order of truffle fries. Poke bowl was plentiful and yummy. (4/5) Lobster flat bread (4/5) really tasty but light on the lobster Truffle fries (3/5) not much truffle but well made and seasoned Drinks were 1/2 off Mule and Paloma were quite watery and kind of meh so (1/5) for me. Likely would stick to beer on tap. Bowling (5/5) $35 midday for an hour includes shoes and socks. Clean and an overall fun time! Would swing by again with some friends beer and bites.

Our experience at Pinstripes was... rough. If you really want to try this place, I highly recommend making a reservation. We had a 1pm reservation for brunch today (sunday). The place was pretty busy. The floor was super slippery. It felt like we were walking on a bowling lane, which made walking with our full plates very difficult. Once seated, our server poured water into our glasses and all over the table. She never tried to clean it up or apologize for getting water everywhere. I realized my glass was dirty - she grabbed it and slapped a new one on the table without a word. They no longer offer bottomless mimosas. My friend and I ordered a carafe of mimosas ($24) and our husband's each got a bloody mary ($12). Our drinks took forever to arrive, but they were decent. We were never asked if we wanted refills or any other beverages. The brunch buffet has a fair amount of options. I enjoyed the prime rib and the pasta salad was very good. The mini Belgian waffle was raw in the middle and the strawberries were bruised and rotten. We didn't see the bowling or bocce set up during this visit. It's all downstairs. But we should have taken the time to explore because our server let us sit there at an empty table, waiting an incredibly long time for her to acknowledge us and get our bill. I would not recommend coming here for brunch. I'm not sure I'd recommend anyone to come here ever. Service needs a major overhaul and they need to be more mindful of food preparation and presentation.

The place looks super clean and new. The pizza was OK but the French dip sandwich was excellent. We had a beer and a cocktail and they were good. Thursday is 50% off cocktails which is nice but they never came back and asked us if we wanted a second drink. Overall just an okay experience.
