I was recently here for a kids birthday party. The party host was quite rude and made many comments…read moreabout the kids behavior during the party and even interjected many times when parents were dealing with situations. The ages of the children ranged from 3-6 years old. She even made rude comments to the children & had them cleaning up the party room on their own, rather than her going around and cleaning up. She also was not very sanitary and wiped her face with gloves on before she cut the cake. She clearly was also never shown how to cut a cake before this disaster. She was cutting pieces, plopping it into her hand & then palming it onto a plate. She also told my child to stop crying or he wouldn't get a goodie bag. Prior to this party room experience, she kept walking around basically in circles in the lanes where kids and parents were mingling. She didn't give any privacy for the party and kept squeezing in between people talking. Who hired this girl without proper training? She had no common courtesy or respect. The child's mother of the party did complain to management.

Attended an event here after not going for over a decade. Place is definitely not the trendy…read moreBowling spots, but an old school dated place that fits the bill. I was shocked at the pricing ($50 a lane per hour on a weeknight) and promptly at (the end of your hour) 8 pm they cut you off, even if you didn't finish your game. Staff is friendly at the snack bar.

This was, without exaggeration, one of the worst customer experiences I've ever had anywhere…read more The service was a complete mess from the start--slow, disorganized, and staffed by people who clearly didn't care. We were left standing around waiting to be helped while employees ignored us, and when someone finally showed up, they acted like we were a burden for simply wanting to bowl. The manager was unbelievably awful. Rude, dismissive, and outright hostile. When our lane kept malfunctioning (which happened multiple times), we asked for help and got nothing but attitude. No apology, no urgency--just pure indifference and annoyance, like fixing their own broken equipment was too much to ask. And then there was the bar situation, which somehow made everything even worse. I'm 25 years old, and they made THREE different people come over and check my ID before I could get a drink. It was completely excessive and honestly embarrassing. I get checking ID, but this was ridiculous and felt like they were going out of their way to make it difficult. On top of all that, the place was poorly maintained, the lanes kept breaking down, and the whole environment just felt unwelcoming and chaotic. Save yourself the frustration and go literally anywhere else. This place clearly doesn't care about its customers, and it shows in every possible way.

Came to Pinstripes in Paramus this past weekend for a friend's birthday brunch buffet which was a…read moresurprisingly stylish spot with a lively atmosphere. Food: For a buffet, the food was decent and fairly priced. The chicken and waffles and smoked salmon were definite standouts -- flavorful, well-prepared, and satisfying. There was a good variety overall without feeling overwhelming. Service: Service was a bit slow at times, but with the size of our party and the busy environment, it was understandable. Everyone we interacted with was super kind, and the staff managed the controlled chaos with patience and a smile. Aesthetic: It's a really pretty venue for a buffet, with a unique layout that spreads the stations across different section: carving station, hot food, cold dishes, and desserts all had their own areas. The space feels elevated but still casual enough for a big group celebration.

High quality shrimp cocktail, wonderful smoked salmon, breakfast pizza that melted in my mouth, sautéed Brussel sprouts that were so good... I can go on and on! Oh yes and the sliced prime rib and ham were great! Also really enjoyed the herbed biscuits. Mini freshly made buttermilk waffles were one of my faves with lightly fried chicken breast chunks with maple syrup on the side was divine!! And the chocolate fountain to dip freshly made warm choc chip cookies, rice Krispy treats, and ghiardelli double choc brownies - absolute heaven. I can't wait to go back!

This is one of the nicer bowling alley I have been in and around Bergen county. It looked somewhat…read morenew, very clean and organized facility, a bar with some sitting area in the common space, storage boxes, and got a section for some arcade games. The place is kids friendly. They use ambient neon lighting that looks really cool. We were there to attend a birthday party. There were lots of parking spots available right next to the alley. Renting the bowling shoes was easy process. The lanes were in good condition. Plenty of balls of different sizes and weight were available. The scoring system was also functional. They had some bowling slides available to assist the kids with bowling. The pins were attached to strings, so it felt little bit unnatural the way pins were falling down. The food was decent. Pizza and wings were good. I liked the lemonade they server, though I think it was just Minute Maid, not handmade. Overall I really liked the alley. In future, I'd bring my daughter to this location if she ever want to bowl again.

I didn't like the pins are attached to strings. Nevertheless it's good quality lanes and bowls. A small arcade by the side door. It's a big hit for the kids too after many rounds of bowling. The host also got food catering from Bowlero. It's party finger food, not bad. They came around to set up, called for cake cutting, clean up etc. very efficient. Overall a great party experience with Bowlero. It's a good bowling spot for family and friends.

Pretty spacious bowling alley with a ton of lanes, there's a bar and some snacks for sale…read more Apparently they sell breakfast here for those looking to arrive early to bowl. The bar is nice with about 10-15 seats at the bar, decent amount of beer options too which is cool. Cash only spot so keep that in mind $6 per person per game and $6 for shoe rentals. So $12 a game per person is pretty good. Overall a solid place to bowl, passed by a million times and never went in. Fun spot for family date nights or even out with friends for a good completive game.

3.5 Stars. Right off…read morethe bat, this place can be scary to get to. You have to cut directly in front of an on ramp to get into the parking lot. They have a stop sign, but they rarely stop at the line and can cause a problem. Parkway Lanes has done a lot of updates over the years, but there's still work to be done. Missing ceiling panels in the bathroom and the ball returns are looking a bit rough. This is an old school bowling alley. Front desk staff is not overly friendly to random/new customers, but I've seen them light up with regulars. The place is clean and the food is decent for the price. Kitchen staff was very friendly. We went too early to try out the bar. This is also one of the most inexpensive places to bowl in the area. I believe it was only $30 for an hour on a week day. It doubles on weekends. Other places are $50-60 on weeknights, which is outrageous.

Kids love it here and always have a blast! Food Prices are reasonable and clean environment! Lots of parking spaces available for free, which is always good to have! I did give it a four star and not a five star only bc ,since, kids love the arcades and can play all day, I feel the coins run out too fast and can get pricey to reload the cards again. I have had some experiences where the coins we put it didn't have some machines working and completely wasted some coins. I had also reached out to the staff at the front regarding this issue and nothing really got done about it. Besides that, I definitely recommend!

It is unfortunate because this place was a regular well loved and frequently visited place while growing up. We will drive the extra 10 minutes to Rockaway Lanes in order to avoid being treated rudely.

However most of the games weren't working. There were games that looked to be worked but it turns out they weren't. So basically any money I had on my card got eaten up and when I went to customer service they claimed to put it back but when I checked the balance it wasn't true. Perhaps it was the card but it was just a terrible experience. A lot of the people working seemed very inexperienced.
