Pinstripes, Oak Brook

The hostess was a bit “short” for my liking. We had a reservation but wanted to know if anything was available right away and she said without pause “no comeback in 15 minutes...” our reservation was in 15 minutes lol. I had a great time with my family and friends but could have done so at a less expensive place with friendlier staff. I made a reservation for 10 bowlers and while only 5 actually bowled we were place on one lane, hardly enough time to get through a game. Facility is nice. Lanes were well kept. Space was a bit tight for my liking.

We attended a private event at this location. It was a Christmas party for disabled children. Many on hospice care. The food was good. The room was nice and large which was a good thing since many of the children were in wheel chairs. Everyone had a great time. The atmosphere was great and it seemed they were very busy. The employees were friendly and helpful. This was the first visit to this location for me. I've been to the Hoffman location multiple times. They're both pretty similar.

The buffet had a great variety of foods, ranging from great to exceptional. The foods were fresh with delightful spicing. The prime rib was great, with a horseradish sauce that was flavorful without clearing sinuses (plain ground horseradish was available at the Bloody Mary bar, if you prefer). The problem we faced was deciding what to pass on.

Great place to enjoy a good meal along with having fun with the wife. I am attaching a picture of my dinner plate. The Maple Glazed Salmon was tasty and definitely better than I expected from a bowling alley. Pinstripes impressed me very much. From the moment you walk you can tell this place is not like any other bowling alley you have been to. Keep up the good work!

Amazing food and reasonably priced. Happy hour calamari and tenderloin sliders were terrific! We also had the grilled salmon on French baguettes with cucumber dill yogurt, kale Caesar salad and boneless short rib with mashed potatoes. All excellent and dining outside was fantastic. No bugs and a beautiful firepit. We will be coming again.
