I won a raffle at my kid's school and visited Pinstripes for the first time with my family. I've gone before years ago for a work. The whole reason for the revisit is because of the raffle win. Upon arriving I show the hostess the certifica

Fun concept combining bowling and Italian food, but execution falls short. The lanes are nice but the food is average and overpriced. Service was slow during our visit. Good for group events but not for a memorable dining experience.
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 st

I come to Pinstripes all the time, but yesterday was my first bad experience. Sat at the bar one of the bartenders looked really and he was making all the drinks, but the other bartender made me feel ignored. Understand it was busy but she was standi

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

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 go
We've been to Pinstripes many times.
Since we come in the late afternoon, we can't speak about the service and food at busier times. With that said, we have had consistently good, reasonably priced food and outstanding service. There's enough menu variety to keep us coming bac

The best experience and time at this pinstripes! Have been to other ones but the service, attention, and care from this location is unparalleled, especially from Gabe and Wesley. We had a large group and they went above and beyond to make everything

The food was delicious with the great service . We are enjoyed our special time here
Relaxing Sunday brunch with beautiful weather.
Conveniently located at Hillsdale mall. Plenty of food selection. Although there were lots of customers, it never felt crowded at the buffet. We were here for a birthday party. And, some of us went bowling afterwards.

Great spot for brunch! The omelet station was excellent, and the meat carving station did not disappoint either. The buffet selection overall was satisfying, and the bottomless soda was definitely a nice bonus. I only wished there was soft serve ice

This was quite the experience.
..and not in a good way. I am not sure if this place is about to shut down but it sure seemed like it. The only good thing is that we got a good laugh out of it but I don't think I will ever come back. Food was tasty, everyone at our table enj
We dine here every Tuesday where half the menu is bogo free.
You can't beat that deal. What keeps bringing us back is the bar staff that is particularly attentive and engaging. But I have to make special note of Eric who takes care of us every time. Even when he is super busy he manages to stop by and
Our server, Yessie was amazing.
She provided excellent service to our party of 20+ people for over 5 hours! She was friendly and very accommodating whether it was bringing someone a glass of wine or a glass of ice water. The food was good. We ordered chicken avocado flatbread,

This place is great! We got in sooo fast !!! Super clean inside and the service is super fast! Would definitely come back !
Serseren and Pablo provided excellent service.
They both came by numerous times to assist us and made excellent recommendations. A+++ service !! I would recruit both if I owned my own business
Terrible place for a company party unless everyone enjoys
Terrible place for a company party unless everyone enjoys bowling and horrible food. Would never recommend this place to anyone except parents with nothing better to do. Food was exceptionally bad for a holiday party. AND handicapped access for guest

Terrible! Don't waste your money on this place! Food sucks and I needed salt to taste. Server and bar tenders are rude and have no sense of humor at all. Go somewhere else

Updating my review to five stars.
After hearing about our experience, Pinstripes went out of their way to incorporate my feedback. We went back for a birthday celebration and Pablo, Alfredo, and the rest of the staff were so attentive and kind and just all around so fun! The food w
Our go to before movies at Hillsdale Mall.
Lobster flatbread, beat salad and the miso glazed salmon dish are so delicious!!!
I'll start out by saying everyone likes a good buffet.
What makes a good one, IMO, is a variety of at least decent tasting food. And at a reasonable price. I understand buffets went out the window during COVID, so to see one at Pinstripes on the weekend was welcome. We came in without reservations, heard
Came here for a quick lunch and enjoyed a glass of wine.
The place didn't seem too busy inside during lunch so the service was quick and excellent. The wings are delicious and I highly recommend. The sandwich hit the spot and it came with a large portion of fries which I couldn't even finish!

Located in NoCal, we arrived on a Saturday morning to enjoy their AYCE (all u can eat) brunch buffet. The restaurant has 2 levels where the buffet was located downstairs filled with everything breakfast from delicious fruits to salads, eggs, and and
Simply delicious
Went by chance on a Sunday morning and got to experience their Brunch buffet. We did not have a reservation, but the staff was very helpful to seat us. Everything on the buffet was delicious and freshly prepared. Also, we did not feel overcharged. Ca
Rusty screw in salad!
Attended a company retreat in June 2024 and there was a rusty screw in my salad! Will never ever go back here and highly recommend you do not either. Their customer service after the fact was also highly lacking. I hope the San Mateo County Health De
Excellent Drinks!
Super cool vibes! Excellent drinks! Beautiful place. Humble servers! Went there with friends for just drinks and all of us had a great time! :)
Fun Time Despite Slight Mishap
We recently went to Pinstripes Bowling to celebrate a friend's birthday and had a terrific time. The only snag was a misunderstanding regarding the closing time, but Eric, our server, saved the day by extending our bowling session for 30 minutes
Connect with users posting reservations for Pinstripes San Mateo
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Pinstripes San Mateo. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Pinstripes San Mateo at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Pinstripes San Mateo page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Pinstripes San Mateo to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Pinstripes San Mateo!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
