This is great food with fantastic service and friendly owners. A lot of care for the food and ability to make most everything gluten free.
They also keep a book of gluten free and other places shared by other people. From local, to out of state, and even out of country.
The only downside is the limited hours, so we can only come by occasionally during lunchtime.

One of my favorite comfort food places to eat. I frequent both this location in San Mateo and the one in San Bruno. I prefer the interior and ambience of the latter restaurant but parking there is challenging. The San Mateo restaurant is always busy as it's in a great location between S El Camino Real and Hwy 92 - easy to get to. The service has always been friendly and attentive. The servers chat you up and make you feel at home. Also, love that breakfast is served until 2pm!
Our office came here to celebrate our coworker's birthday for lunch. We started with the Mediterranean Sampler - my favorite is the tzatziki. I had a cup of the avgolemono which is a lemony chicken and rice soup that takes me back to my days in Santorini. The birthday guy had the lamb burger which he said was flavorful and juicy. The other two each had entree salads, one of which was the Asian Chicken Salad (see picture). Another had the gluten-free cheese macaroni which I've had before but would recommend it as a side dish with something more savory to complement the cheesey pasta. I enjoyed my usual dish, the polenta and summer veggies. The garlic red sauce and cheese just oozes in between the polenta and vegetables. The portion size will never disappoint as you'll always have enough extra to take home.

I've been here a few times now and it always feels like a fiesta. We walked in just when the lights dimmed, then came back on to party lights with music playing "feliz cumpleanos" to a family in the dining room. So fun! My partner and I grabbed a seat at the bar. A few minutes later, a tequila tasting was being set up. We were quickly served by our bartender. We ordered the sizzling fajitas which the two of us shared. The steak and chicken were super tender and the seasoning gave it that perfect grilled flavoring. For gluten-free, they served me soft corn tortillas and my partner the flour ones. My tortillas were a good size nor did it taste chalky. Margaritas are always so big, and as a lightweight drinker one was enough. The guys at the tequila tasting served us some free shots, my favorite is shown. What a great place for happy hour!

My family and I visited Pinstripes on a busy Saturday and asked the host if they could accommodate our party of eight. The restaurant was busy hosting private parties and events, so we weren’t sure if they had room. Fortunately, the General Manager, Pablo, was there and went out of his way to set up a table for us upstairs.
The atmosphere was relaxed, and the food was absolutely delicious. I have a severe gluten intolerance, and I truly appreciated how attentive and accommodating both the chef and staff were in ensuring my meal was safe.
We were celebrating a birthday, and Pablo made the experience even more special by surprising our group with festive St. Patrick’s Day/Birthday drinks. It was our first time at Pinstripes, but thanks to the outstanding service and hospitality, it certainly won’t be our last.
Thank you, Pablo, for making our visit so memorable!

I love Thai food, and I'm really happy they had stir fry noodles. Me and my party arrived pretty close to closing time, and they still served us well and made good food. The quality was pretty much the same as most other Thai places I've been to; great. I'm glad they clearly label their vegetarian, spicy, and gluten free foods. The restaurant is well decorated with a welcoming atmosphere. Really, there is not much left to say, I had a fine meal. I hope to come again soon. 4/5.

Had been to this location before and I'm not sure what has changes but we will not be back. When I asked what the bread choices were the young lady flicked her hand back and rattled off the 3-4 choices so fast I had to ask again. Once we got that settled we both ordered the pastrami one on rosemary and the other gluten free. We ordered to go. When ready at the guy that made the sandwiches called my name and handed me the two wrapped sandwiches, NO BAG & NO NAPKINS I had to ask for both. I see on a table orders made on line in a nice handled bag ready to go.
To add insult to injury the gluten free bread was $2.00 more and tasted like dust, absolutely no flavor and just crumbled into pieces. The meat was ok what there was very tiny portions.
For the $13.25 spent on a sandwich I'm expecting a lot more then what was received.
This charming spot features a spotless, cute interior that creates a welcoming atmosphere. Its well-balanced toppings and attention to detail make it a memorable destination for those seeking a gluten-free dining experience with thoughtful options.
