Pinstripes San Mateo

“This place is fantastic! The wings and calamari are must-tries, and the banana split is absolutely amazing. The rest of the food is great as well. Everything we’ve tried has been enjoyable. You really can’t go wrong here. Highly recommended!”

“This morning, I took my daughter to Pinstripes at Hillsdale Mall for their “Brunch with Santa” event, and it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and festive the perfect blend of elegant and family-friendly that made the experience feel truly special. The food was genuinely good not just “event food,” but the kind of quality brunch you’d seek out on any weekend. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared, with enough variety to please both kids and adults. But what really made the morning unforgettable was how they handled Santa’s visits. Rather than the typical long line approach, Santa made his way to each table, giving every child unhurried, personal attention. My daughter’s face lit up, and I loved that we could enjoy our meal while Santa took the time to really connect with her. You could tell the staff had put real thought into creating an experience that felt magical without feeling rushed or transactional. The team at Pinstripes clearly understands that these moments matter they’re creating memories families will treasure. If you’re looking for a holiday experience that combines excellent food, a beautiful setting, and genuine care for making children feel special, I can’t recommend this highly enough. We’ll definitely be back next year!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​”

“Had a great time at Pinstripes Hillsdale. The venue is spacious, modern, and has a lively atmosphere that works well for both casual outings and group gatherings. The bowling lanes were well maintained, and the staff was friendly and helpful throughout the visit. Food and drinks were enjoyable, and the overall experience felt well organized. A fun spot to spend an evening with friends or family in the Hillsdale area.”

“Had a blast here for a birthday party recently! We were in a private room, which was super nice and already decorated, giving us a perfect little space to celebrate. The service was on point—everyone was attentive and kept things moving smoothly. The Food Scene The brunch buffet is located on the first floor and has a really solid variety. They’ve got: • Fresh Starts: A good salad section. • The Classics: Plenty of hot breakfast and lunch dishes. • Made-to-Order: An omelet station. • The Meats: A carving station with both ham and roast beef. • The Sweet Stuff: A nice selection of desserts. This place has decent food and the atmosphere is perfect for a big group. Plus, being right in the Hillsdale Shopping Mall is a huge win—it’s a great mall to walk around and do some window shopping once you're done eating”

“Comfortable seating with good choices of salads, freshly made omelettes, typical breakfast dish, hot dishes and carving station serving prime rib and ham. The dessert is quite limited. Found a few group coming here to celebrate birthdays. If you are looking for a relaxing atmosphere serving buffet style brunch and more, this is a good choice. Reservation is recommended.”
