//The line

PIX11's coverage of Prospect Park's Smorgasburg singled out Tosh's Caribbean as one of the market's biggest draws, reporting that the stall's Jamaican beef patties "sold out within the first hour" of a recent Sunday session as fans lined up specifically for them. Per PIX11, Renee Cox — described as the mother behind the Tosh's operation — said "we sold out of the mushroom, chicken and beef patties," pointing to the extra foot traffic from that day's Brooklyn Half Marathon as one driver of the rush.

PIX11 also noted that once the marquee patties ran out, Tosh's kept trading, selling banana fritters with homemade Jamaican ice cream to hold onto customers who arrived too late for the main item — evidence that the "line" reality at this stall is less about standing and waiting in a formal queue and more about a hard sell-out window early in the market's Sunday run. Smorgasburg's own locations page lists the Prospect Park market as running Sundays from 11am to 6pm, April through October, meaning arriving close to opening is the main way around PIX11's reported sellout pattern.

Because Tosh's operates inside a rotating open-air market rather than as a standalone restaurant, no outlet describes a reservation system or line-management tool for the stall — PIX11's reporting and Smorgasburg's own site both point to a first-come, first-served, walk-up format.

How long is the wait at Tosh's Caribbean?

PIX11 reported that on at least one recent Sunday, the stall's mushroom, chicken, and beef patties "sold out within the first hour" of Smorgasburg's Prospect Park market opening. Once patties run out, PIX11 says the stall pivots to banana fritters with homemade Jamaican ice cream, so the practical "wait" is really a race to arrive before the sellout rather than a standing line.

Does Tosh's Caribbean take reservations?

No — Tosh's is a walk-up stall inside Smorgasburg Prospect Park, and neither PIX11's reporting nor Smorgasburg's own site describes any reservation system for individual vendors. It's first-come, first-served.

Can you walk into Tosh's Caribbean?

Yes, it's walk-up only, but PIX11 reports the signature patties have sold out within the first hour on at least one recent Sunday, so early arrival matters if you want the beef, chicken, or mushroom patties specifically.

Tosh's operates as part of Smorgasburg Prospect Park, which per Smorgasburg's official locations page runs Sundays 11am–6pm, April through October.
