    Medium rare prime rib special
    DANIEL W.

    Well, I gotta say that since Frank and Ray have been the managers here they sure make us feel welcome Frank let us know they have a special on Sundays prime rib for $30 that we wouldn't be disappointed And he was right it was very tender and it was a nice slice. That's why we keep coming back for the special attention. We receive good job guys.

    Food was plentiful and good, especially the prime rib and Brussel sprouts. The espresso martini was yummy. Service was fast and clean and spacious spot and great place for a big group. Dessert station was awesome with the chocolate fondue and donut holes were so fun.

    Nice spot near the mall with a bowling alley upstairs! We came here for lunch, and they offer a great lunch combo that includes a lunch-sized salad, flatbread or sandwich, plus a soup or side and a non-alcoholic beverage for $22. Definitely a good deal, and the service was friendly as well. The food did take a little while to come out, but overall I had a great experience. Lobster Flatbread - The crust was thin, crispy, and delicious. It was also perfectly cheesy!

    Great Happy Hour w/ half of off Bottles of wine! Bingo on Wednesday nights from 7-9pm! Service was nice and friendly and food was not bad and the ambiance is nice!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Hope L.

    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

I worked with Raymond and you can tell he really knows his stuff. I've been to other pro shops that do the minimum, but Raymond takes the time to ask you questions about your game, how you throw, any physical limitations or other factors that will help him determine how to drill your ball.

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.
