Sliders chicken wings
DANIEL W.

Unfortunately the service is lacking never fails when I bring in friends who owned restaurants. The vibe is off. Between 4.00 and 5.00 the bartender s try to take orders at the tables until the server shows up at 5 ish asked for a separate bill they screwed it up, manager out of site hopefully it will get betterp.s servers have no personality needs work

Came here for a work event and got to try a variety of food along with the bowling alley! It was so much fun! It was a bit confusing to find the bowling lanes as they are located on the second floor. The bowling lanes were so fun though! The pins took a bit to set up after each round but our experience was a lot of fun. The food was also delicious and my favorite were the sliders. I would come back!

Happy hour
Crystal H.

Located outside the Hillsdale Mall. We dropped in for the Happy hour (Mon-Fri 3-6) on a Tuesday around 5:45pm. It wasn't that busy. Plenty of spots open at the bar. The Pinot Grigio from Canyon Road was really good. It's quite hard to find a flavorful Pinot Grigio. The Chardonnay was decent too. The reds like Cabernet and Pinot noir were too light. There were like 5 beers on tap. We tried the Drakes Juicy Hoot hazy ipa. It was eh. Not many beer options that we like. Didn't get to try any cocktails and appetizers on the happy hour. The appetizers didn't sound that great for us. So we ordered the crispy calamari to snack on. Light batter and meaty. Very yummy. Parking is free in the garage.

Made reservations online. Found the closest mall parking garage to the restaurant. Came for first brunch seating on a Sunday. It was nice and quiet initially. They had customizable omelet station , waffle station , carving station with prime rib , salmon lox , shrimp cocktail , pizza , eggs, sausage , chicken apple sausage , salad , fries and chicken tenders , ciopinno, pasta, cheesecake , rice krispy , chocolate fondue station. It was a big area, very family friendly. Lot of kids around. My toddlers meal was free. Adults $38 per person. I also saw they even have private parties upstairs which is neat. It's located in the Hillsdale mall so there are alot of restaurants and you can walk in the mall after the heavy meal.

Came here for a birthday party and the brunch buffet a few weeks ago and I gotta say, I enjoyed myself. The food was really good and I've always wanted to try prime rib, even more so when it's all you can eat. I was here during the holiday season so this place was decked out in the festive decor and Santa taking pictures with customers which was cool. I would absolutely come back here again on my own or with family just to eat. If I wanted to complain about something, I didn't think the desserts were that great. But y'know, it's whatever. I'm not a huge dessert guy anyway. There was a chocolate fountain though and I always think those are cool. But stick with the savory stuff for the most part. Side note, there used to be a Pinstripes in Walnut Creek that closed a few months ago. It didn't even last a year and I was disappointed that I never got to go. This was my first Pinstripes experience and I do hope they can make a comeback in Walnut Creek or elsewhere in the East Bay. I'm not keen on traveling all the way to Hillsdale Mall, even for this.

We hosted a private event at Pinstripes and were blown away from start to finish. It was my first time playing bocce ball, and it ended up being an absolute hit with everyone...easy to learn, super fun, and a great activity for groups. Rules posted on the wall. They were also incredibly accommodating, even handling same-day additions to our food order list without any added hassle. Our semi-private space was spacious, comfortable, and perfectly situated within their beautiful two-story venue. The whole place was decorated for the holidays, and the added bonus of a live DJ made the atmosphere even more energetic and festive. Huge shoutout to Gabe and his team!!! Truly a pleasure, they were stellar all night, attentive, friendly, and always a step ahead. And Alyson, our event coordinator, deserves special recognition. She's truly top-notch: organized, responsive, and an absolute pro at making everything run smoothly. I do wish there was just a few more items to select from on appetizers and for variety for our vegetarians. Particularly around the holidays but still all around great experience and people. If you're looking for a fun, polished venue with great service for any group event, Pinstripes is a winner. Highly recommended!

This review is for the weekend brunch buffet. I love me a buffet! We went in Sept for my bday. There was a carving station, a lox and bagel station, healthy options, and omelette station, chicken and waffle station, chocolate fountain, and pizza. So many options! See my video! The chilaquiles station made a massive plate. If you're like me and want to try everything ask them for a 1/4 size serving. Everything was fresh and delicious since we went right when they opened. Best part my 10 year was free on Sunday! The location is right by where they have the huge Christmas during the holidays and the kids love to run around the fake grass outside and play on the rocks. Be aware there is a street with cars nearby, the grass area is NOT fence in if you have little ones that run off. There is outdoor seating if you want to sit outside and watch the kids play.

Nice restaurant with banquet rooms, a lounge/bar, and a fun bowling alley of course. Pretty chic ams trendy. Very clean. Food wasn't spectacular but good for a bowling alley. Service was solid overall. p.s. looks like they had a Sunday brunch going on downstairs in the main restaurant. May come back to try it.

Pinstripes is in a beautiful bustling location right next to San Mateo hillsdale mall. There is an ample amount of parking spaces right behind the restaurant. The restaurant itself is a two story structure downstairs you have the formal and causal indoor and outdoor seating. Upstairs you have a full bowling alley where you can order from the menu while you play. This place serves your typical burgers , pizza etc but also has some more unique options. I truly enjoy there happy hour menu they have great food options here to choose from. They get busy so service is a hit or miss but most of my experiences have gone well.

Super Salad
Meenakshi T.

I can't believe I haven't written this review yet -- I've been to Pinstripe at least a dozen times, especially on Tuesdays (that buy-one-get-one entrée deal is chef's kiss). Our absolute favorite is the Superfood Salad -- the combo of kale, figs, and Humboldt Fog goat cheese is just perfect. Easily one of my all-time favorite salads anywhere. The pizza is always on-point too -- crispy, flavorful, and consistently good. We've tried the other entrées, and they're fine, but honestly, we've found our rhythm with the salad and pizza combo. It's our go-to order every single time. Such a nice, relaxed spot to wind down after a long day at work -- great food, chill vibes, and a place that just never disappoints

Maple Glazed Salmon, Spaghetti & Meatballs
Tessa V.

Lovely date night spot! Came around 6pm on a Saturday night and it wasn't too busy. They have a happy hour menu with drinks and a limited food selection, but we didn't order off of it. I ordered the Maple Glazed Salmon and my partner had the Spaghetti and Meatballs. Everything was delicious! The salmon dish was definitely the standout for me - salmon was cooked and seasoned perfectly, and we loved the seasoned vegetables and mediterranean grains on the side. Service was exceptional. We wanted to change our table after ordering due to the draft coming from the open door and they kindly accommodated us. Staff also checked up on us maybe 5 different times - they're very attentive haha. Menu does feel a bit limited, and I would consider prices on the slightly higher end - but had a lovely experience here and would come again.

Dessert
Sharon W.

It's always great to eat at Pinstripes. Their menu is great and the servers are nice. The seating is spacious and the room is airy. Tonight we were there for bowling and a birthday dinner, which included mocktails and a festive dessert tray. We had fun bowling, it's a clean, spacious, and inviting area. I ordered the legendary lobster pizza, which I enjoyed (thin crust, just enough cheese). Well done, thank you Pinstripes.

I had never seen an arcade or entertainment venue quite like it before.What completely surprised me was the ice skating rink inside the arcade. My jaw literally dropped, and i immediately turned to my friend asking if we could go. It's such a unique and fun concept that immediately makes the place stand out. They also had a bowling area and spot with pool tables. The perfect place that has everything to do there. The staff were all welcoming, upbeat, and clearly excited to be there, which made the whole experience even better. We decided to grab some food, and I was honestly blown away. This was not typical arcade food at all. Everything tasted fresh and high quality. I ordered the sliders and fries, and they were seriously delicious. I would come back just for the food alone. Gama Ride is the perfect place to hang out with friends when you're looking for something fun to do, but it would also make a great date spot. Between the atmosphere, the games, the ice rink, and the amazing food, it's a place I'm already looking forward to visiting again.

It's located on the opposite side of the skating rink and is easily accessible. I love that the arcade is spread across multiple areas and floors instead of being one large flat space. The different levels make it fun to explore, and you're always curious about what other games are waiting upstairs or around the corner. I also noticed several games I hadn't seen before, including The Voice karaoke room, which was a fun and unique touch. There's also an entire floor dedicated to billiards, priced at $5 per game, which I really enjoyed. They offer food and alcoholic drinks, making it easy to spend a few hours here without needing to leave. The space was well-maintained and clean, which I truly appreciate. Parking in the plaza is plentiful and convenient.

Fast forward to present day and I took my partner here for the classic bowl experience. We came on a rainy Sunday early afternoon, and was able to snag a lane. It was pretty packed because they had league bowling going on. $5 for shoes, $6.50 per game, per person. We decided to go the hour route and for two people, shoes, 1hr of bowling, it costs $40 total. Honestly, pretty good pricing considering we were able to bowl 4 games since it was only 2 of us. If we had gone the per game route, it would've been $12 more. The lanes were in great shape, they definitely have upgraded their systems since I was here years ago. We had some issues with our lane to start. We picked up the phone near our lane and they were able to fix the problems right away. They had plenty of bowling balls available and they were all neatly organized by size and weight. My bowling scores were atrocious but I still had a great time. Upgraded kitchen to order food, renovated bar area, and arcade, although the new arcade seems dull, what happened to time crisis and a real pop-a-shot basketball game?? Sad but not the end of the world. Overall, Classic is the type of bowling alley I enjoy. No frills, no gimmicks, just a classic bowling alley that transport you back to simpler times. Will definitely be back!

It has that authentic sports bar vibe without trying too hard. TVs going, people locked into games, and just an overall relaxed energy. It feels like a place you can come to regularly, not just once. It didn't feel like a tourist spot at all, more like somewhere locals actually hang out. Food-wise, it's solid bar food done right. Wings, burgers, and the kind of stuff you actually want when you're watching a game or just kicking back. Nothing fancy, but it hits and fits the environment. The drinks were on point too. Good beer selection, solid cocktails, and plenty of options if you're just trying to chill for a while. The setup with TVs and bar games makes it easy to stay longer than you planned. The staff and the crowd both added to the experience. It felt welcoming, people were comfortable, and you don't get that awkward feeling walking into a new place. Only thing to keep in mind is it's very laid back and first come first served. Depending on when you go, you might have to wait or stand around a bit. Overall, if you're looking for a real sports bar with good food, drinks, and a local feel, this is definitely a spot worth checking out.
