I noticed that games typically cost around $1-3 while their rides range around $7-10. You can swipe for games until the money you put into the card runs out.

Pros: Seems clean, spacious, and well maintained so far Lots of parking, next door to other businesses like Benihana and Nazareth ice rink Some unique offerings like a mini karaoke room for a decent price Has reasonably grown up food offerings, so it's not like grease trap places like Chuck E. Cheese Cons: Some of the games (eg claw machines) were not the greatest- the big one there seems to have a weak claw or the items are too small. Harder to win than most. Price per game is a bit on the higher side compared to other local arcades but the facility is nice for parties etc.

I really got into the game and ended up having the most kills lol. I also really like the video they give you afterwards of the experience. I highly recommend it for a teambuilding or party.

Some restaurants are all about the food. Some are all about the atmosphere. Pinstripes somehow…read moremanages to pull off both. We stopped in for a late family lunch on a weekend afternoon, hoping to find a place where everyone--from the kids to the adults--could find something they'd enjoy. Walking into Pinstripes felt less like entering a restaurant and more like arriving at a family gathering that someone else was hosting and cleaning up afterward. The place was buzzing with energy. Families were bowling, groups were laughing over drinks, and kids were running around with that unmistakable "best day ever" level of excitement. Despite all the activity, it never felt chaotic. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and surprisingly relaxing. Now let's talk about the food, because our table basically decided to conduct a full-scale menu investigation. The spaghetti and meatballs was a huge hit with the younger crowd. Classic comfort food done right, with tender meatballs and plenty of sauce. The grilled chicken club was stacked high and loaded with flavor. Simple, satisfying, and exactly what you want from a great sandwich. The famous prime rib dip disappeared almost immediately. Tender slices of beef, soft bread, and a rich au jus that had people dipping every last bite. If you're sharing lunch with someone who orders this, make sure to claim your portion early. The peppercorn crusted ribeye was easily one of the stars of the table. Perfectly cooked, flavorful, and substantial enough to make you forget you're technically dining at a place with bowling lanes. The Chicago-style baby back ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and packed with smoky flavor. Sticky fingers are practically guaranteed. The chicken parmesan was another crowd favorite. Crispy, cheesy, and comforting in all the ways chicken parm should be. And then there was the cowboy burger. Massive, messy, and absolutely worth every napkin required to eat it. The kind of burger that demands your full attention. What impressed me most wasn't necessarily any single dish--it was how consistently good everything was. When you're dining with a larger family group and ordering across multiple sections of the menu, usually there's at least one disappointment. Not this time. By the end of lunch, everyone was full, happy, and already talking about coming back. Some wanted to bowl next time. Others wanted to try more menu items. The kids just wanted dessert. Pinstripes feels like one of those increasingly rare places where families can actually spend quality time together without feeling rushed. Great food, welcoming service, plenty to do, and an atmosphere that makes everyone feel comfortable. If you're looking for a place for a leisurely family lunch that can satisfy picky eaters, burger lovers, steak fans, and kids all at the same table, Pinstripes delivers. We'll definitely be back. Come hungry and Go Big!!!

We visited Pinstripes for Mother's Day brunch and unfortunately it wasn't the experience we were…read morehoping for. The restaurant seemed very understaffed, and throughout the two hours we were there, many of the food items stayed empty for long periods without being replenished. Since the buffet was split between two levels, our entire family, including those helping with a newborn, constantly had to go downstairs just to find available food, which was also limited at times. The protein selection felt pretty minimal with mainly prime rib and ham, while most of the buffet consisted of carbs and desserts. On top of that, three of our family members ended up experiencing stomach issues afterward, which we suspect may have come from the chocolate fountain area. We've celebrated Mother's Day here before and were really looking forward to coming back, so it was disappointing to leave feeling let down. Hoping this was just an off day, but sadly we probably won't be choosing Pinstripes again for future Mother's Day celebrations.

However, it's way too overpriced for what you get. On top of that, you can only make reservations online, and they charge a fee just to book, which honestly doesn't make sense.

After finding parking, my brother and I found the intersection and walked down a narrow sidewalk…read moretowards the grassy areas. As I got near, I saw about 5 food trucks along the street and long lines in front of each truck! First thing to do was check in at the Info Booth! I waited for a short while since first the lady said I should wait for the lady beside her to help me. After waiting for 2 people, the same lady I first approached ended up changing her mind and felt like helping me...sheesh. Highlighting my name & my +1 brother, I was then given my 2 red bracelets. It signified my VIP access to the Yelp VIP area. I was told that there are blankets strewn in front of the movie screen area and that's where I would be able to sit. On a side note, there was no Yelp schwag at this Yelp Community Event. It was more of a casual night to just watch movies with other family and friends. Next, my brother and I walked around the Night Design Market area. The first tent on the left was where we picked up our free water. They ran out of other beverages. I just quickly browsed to see what vendors were selling: items or food. I did see cotton candy! After that we walked around the check out the menus of all the food trucks. I ended up deciding the LittleGreenCyclo food truck which sold a small selection of Vietnamese food. While my brother & I were waiting at the very end of the line, I told him I'll go find the blanket area. I asked the friendly staff if this was the VIP area. Successfully locating it, I choose an available blanket about the 8th in front of the movie screen. I dropped off my bag and coat there. Oh my, there were so many fruit flies or small flying bugs on the blanket! I met a nice couple with cute long-haired chihuahuas behind my blanket spot. *Side Note* Before the day of this movie night, I received contact from some Yelpers saying they would be excited to meet me. It was definitely exciting to meet more Yelper friends. Surprised they even noticed me! Glad I found a blanket before it got more filled up, I walked back to join my brother in the long wait in line! I was glad I had internet data still working in that park. I noticed a Yelper Stan checked in. I was scanning around and thought I spotted him just standing in the left side food truck line. I kept staring, LOL, and knew he didn't see me. So, after I received his comment notifying me he was located at which food truck line and wearing what, I approached Stan, introduced myself, and as I was showing him his profile picture asked him if that was him. It was a fun, brief, first encounter. Yay! I found 1 Yelper for the night. I commented on my thread for Linda to find me! Still waiting in line, I became restless and wanted to check up on my belongings. I walked and went back to the food truck line. Later, nearing the middle of the line, it started to rain lightly! So, I wanted to go get my jacket. At that time Linda commented she was waiting at the blanket. We were commenting live time in my check in, so I immediately went back to my blanket to get my jacket and see if I could spot Linda! I was looking around to see if anybody was wearing a moto jacket and even asked the lady behind my blanket to see if she saw any girl matching the outfit description Linda told me. LOL. Next thing you know, I saw a girl walking in front of me, tapping on her phone. Realized later she commented walking over to the food truck. haha. Anyways, I quickly said Linda, Are you Linda?? :-D LOL. And YAY! I was right! She finally looked up from her phone and said Yes. and I told her I'm Andrea. Think we hugged and I was excited to tell her about meeting another Yelper Stan too. So, we walked to go greet Stan. Linda later told me she had another Yelper friend telling her she would be there at movies too! Back to the line, I was sooo hungry! Finally reaching LittleGreenCyclo, tried to order fresh pineapple lychee lemonade and lemongrass grilled pork, but they ran out! I ended up choosing Lemongrass Chicken with Noodles (Mary's Free Range Air Chilled Nine Spice Grilled Chicken with Fresh Rice Vermicelli). Delicious. My brother got the Sweet Potato Tater Tots. All were yummy! After that, we walked to our blanket. I saw Stan still waiting in line for food sadly! It was getting dark by then...My brother and I shared our food. I told Stan since he wasn't VIP, we can share our blanket with him later during movie time. My brother and I finished our food and went to throw away our garbage. He went to go buy bacon caramel popcorn and Sugar Spun cotton candy too. Shortly after, Ferris Bueller's Day Off movie started. By that time, it was completely dark, after receiving a late message, I spotted Stan sitting on the grass and invited him to join our blanket. He was nice to share his Rib Whip ribs with my brother and I, also his antibacterial. Wow, delicious rib! I was still hungry during the funny, classic movie. Luckily, I brought my chocolate chip cookies! Happy that movie night!
