Pinstripes Sets November 11 Return in Orlando Florida With Weekend Brunch Buffet

The Vineland Pointe venue returns under new ownership after its September 2025 closure.

October 23, 2026 • Florida • BY BUFFET AUTHORITY

Pinstripes is coming back to Orlando, and the weekend brunch buffet is coming with it. The dining and entertainment venue at Vineland Pointe has set a November 11 reopening under new ownership, more than a year after its doors closed during the former operator’s bankruptcy.

The restaurant returns to 11643 Daryl Carter Parkway, where it first opened to the public on April 20, 2024. That first run ended in September 2025, when Pinstripes closed 10 of its 18 venues as it entered Chapter 11 proceedings.

Local reopening coverage identifies the new owners with the parent company of Punch Bowl Social, following a November 2025 acquisition. Orlando is reported to be the first Pinstripes venue receiving upgrades that the new operator intends to introduce elsewhere over the next year.

Prime rib is back on the weekend agenda

The Orlando dining page confirms Saturday and Sunday buffet brunch. Reopening coverage names made-to-order omelets, fresh-carved prime rib, chicken and waffles, shrimp cocktail, breakfast pizza and baked goods. Those are rather substantial reasons to visit a bowling alley without immediately putting on the shoes.

The company’s current brunch menu also lists maple-glazed ham, smoked salmon, salads, breakfast meats and a sweet table with chocolate fondue. The lineup varies by location. Reopening-specific Orlando prices and buffet service hours have not yet been confirmed in official material.

The refreshed venue keeps 16 bowling lanes and adds family games, outdoor pool tables and augmented-reality darts, according to the reopening report. Its calendar includes Music Bingo beginning November 19, a patio live-music series starting November 20 and Santa Brunch beginning November 28.

There is an important limit to the fresh start. In its official reopening message, the new business says gift cards and deposits from the previous ownership cannot be redeemed or returned. People who lost deposits are invited to contact the national sales team to discuss a future event.

For returning regulars, that payment policy is worth knowing before making plans with an old gift card. The buffet’s return is confirmed, with local brunch prices the next practical detail to watch as November 11 approaches.
