Food lovers will find a treasure trove of memorable dishes bursting with flavor and comfort. The culinary highlights truly shine here with crowd-pleasers like the Fettuccini Bolognese, where perfectly al dente pasta mingles with a rich, savory meat sauce that’s deeply satisfying. Mac and Cheese aficionados are in for a treat with both a classic rendition and the indulgent Lobster Mac & Cheese, where buttery Maine lobster elevates the creamy cheese to pure decadence. For seafood fans, the Crispy Calamari offers a delightful crunch paired with just the right amount of zest.

Pinstripes also caters wonderfully to families, with dedicated kids’ options such as the classic Spaghetti & Marinara Meatballs, ensuring younger palates are equally delighted. Their brunch menu, especially vibrant on weekends, features inventive plates like the Chicken & Avocado Club, layered with applewood smoked bacon, ranch, and fresh mozzarella, balancing smoky, creamy, and crisp textures that dance on the palate. And let’s not forget the pizzas and flatbreads—a perfect marriage of artisanal ingredients with crowd-favorites like Margherita and the luxurious Lobster flatbread, bubbling with mozzarella, cheddar, parmesan, and scallions atop a garlic-oregano crust.

Pinstripes doesn’t just excel in food; the entertaining experience is amplified by its bowlers’ lanes and bocce courts, making it a hot spot for team outings, celebrations, and casual fun. Patrons echo this sentiment, with customers like Mitsi Herrera recommending making lane reservations to fully enjoy bowling, while appreciating the impeccable service at the upstairs bar. The venue’s spacious and clean layout, highlighted by Lydia K, offers a comfortable setting for business lunches and social gatherings, though regular visitors also note the attentiveness and kindness of standout staff members like Oscar and José M., who turn each visit into a personalized experience of hospitality.

Families feel especially welcomed here, thanks to promotions like the popular Wednesday “kids eat free” offer, which Brianna Waters raves about as a wonderfully fun and kid-friendly environment. Moreover, Craig “Food Monk” Carter’s experience with a diverse group, including elders and infants, speaks volumes about Pinstripes’ commitment to accessibility, genuine care, and service that leaves everyone feeling valued and well-attended.
