Smorgasburg is a wonderful event that happens on Sundays in Prospect Park in the warmer months. Lots of food trucks come together in a large clearing with some picnic tables. You can get nearly every sort of cuisine in NYC all in one place. Prices are kind of a lot but most of the food I've tried has been delicious. Last time I went I got a chickpea kolachi roll which was amazing, and I've tried so many other wonderful dishes as well. read more

I love Smorgasburg and attend a few times a year. I definitely was coming to check out their BBQ day featuring black-owned, Caribbean restaurants located throughout the city. The food did not disappoint. Lines were at bay and not super long and I was able to try a variety of items. I even got some take home food because it was just that good. Bark BBQ and Yaad man thing were favorite food stalls as I have visited both restaurants in the past and love their food menu. Yaad man has some of the best jerk chicken I've ever tasted and that brisket & chicharrone sandwich from Bark BBQ is to die for. Smorgasburg is always a vibe. I will definitely be back before the summer is over. read more

Finally had the opportunity to try Smorgasburg in Prospect Park! It was great but leaving the traffic was horrendous so so avoid leaving when it closes down you will be stuck in grid lock! Onto the food. Man lots of different things to choose from lots of variety for your life great for a Sunday date or to go with a group of friends. Very nice event in Brooklyn for a Sunday! read more

I can get into a Seymour from Ghost World mood when contemplating Smorgasburgs. "Actually, technically, um, what he was mostly playing would be more accurately classified in the ragtime idiom." The Williamsburg one feels more pure. Or is it just travel time bias? Wah Gwaan is one of the classics, with jerk tacos finding unexpected uses for fruit in a supporting role. Today I enjoyed the bake and shark from Tanty Darlene's. Get it with everything for a sweet-and-spicy marvel. It is legal to get all four sauces. You'll also find enjoyable sauces at the Thai pork purveyor Pig Me Up, plus the refreshing Dang Manow soda. In vendor abundance, seating and outhouse quality, Williamsburg ranks higher. The last issue will become less crucial when/if the main park bathroom reopens. read more

Smorgasburg in Prospect Park is a must if you're a foodie or just love trying new things. The variety of vendors is incredible...everything from authentic Asian street food to Caribbean bites, gourmet burgers, vegan eats, and so much more. You could honestly spend hours just wandering around and still not try everything. One highlight for me was the sugar cookie ice cream sandwich; absolute perfection. The cookies were soft, buttery, and just the right amount of sweet, and the ice cream in the middle was creamy and refreshing. It was one of those desserts you don't want to share (but you probably should). The park setting makes it even better, you can grab your food and sit out on the grass, enjoy music or just people-watch. It's a great way to spend a weekend afternoon in Brooklyn. Come hungry and wear comfy shoes...you'll be walking and snacking the whole time! read more

I agree with another writer, $7 for a taco is on the pricey side. We got our tacos from Wan Gwaan: oxtail and pork. read more

If you want to have a bao with all bao (bread) and not much filling this is where to go. I was surprised by how little filling there was. What was there was alright, nothing spectacular, but hard to overlook that glaring fact of small portions especially since it is quite pricey. Overall, unfortunately to say, that this place is worth it to skip. read more

Smorgasburg is always fun. There are about 20 plus food vendors. There some picnic tables available for seating. I understand you want to attract people to the area, but the music is just a little bit too loud. The prices are about $8-$30 depending on what you want. Everything looks so delicious. Got here around noon and there's a short line to most of the vendors. The crowd did pick up around 1:30ish. read more

We were so excited to check out the vendors at their Prospect Park location on a Sunday. Smorgasburg has more savory food than sweets as there are many savory street food or even whole meal options, featuring different world cuisines. Honestly all the food stalls looked so tempting. The general price point of each vendor is quite high (~$10+ for food) but it's worth trying for the vibes and fun times with friends/fam. ＊The Pincho Truck The pork chunks were more tender and juicier than I expected. Well marinated and glazed in a sweet and savory BBQ sauce. The set came with two tostones with spicy mayo and a slice of bread. This is my first time trying tostones, which are some crispy fried plantains. A solid savory food stall to give it a try. ＊Common Meadows Creamery I preferred the yuzu one as it had a sorbet-like icy texture. Not too sweet and perfect for summer. The fig one was creamier and richer, but also got a bit heavier and sweeter towards the end. ＊Twig.m We got half soy garlic chicken and half gochujang spicy chicken. Our fried chicken was made to order, and it was served steaming hot! Don't burn your tongue when you eat lol. My friend couldn't handle the spicy side, while I really loved the spicy kick from the gochujang sauce (I would love it even more if it was spicier). Soy garlic lacked some flavor imo as I wanted it to be more garlicky. ＊Lisbonata The shell was soggy. The center is melty and custardy like what an authentic pastel de nata should be. Beware that the egg tarts melt easily under the heat. The pistachio cream flavor was really delicious. On the sweeter side as they used condensed milk. ＊ Vermont Maple Lemonade SOOO REFRESHING! We were soaked in sweat and their maple lemonade quenched our thirst. Every sip is a delight. I'm typically not a fan of mint but the fresh mint one was delectable. I also enjoyed the peach one I got. The subtle sweetness from the maple syrup elevated the drinks. read more

Definitely an experience not to be missed. If you're a foodie and want to explore different cultures through their food - this is the place for you. Who doesn't love a variety of grub, adult beverages and the beautiful nature that Prospect Park affords?! ... With that being said, it isn't cheap. With convenience comes price so think of your visit as a well deserved treat. The truffle fries (pom frites) is a go-to and highly recommended. The theme and activities can vary each week - sometimes there will be freebies! I'd definitely recommend taking your appetite to Smorgasburg in Prospect Park to have a fulfilling, chill Sunday. read more

This was the second time I came to Smorgasburg at Prospect Park. This time it was for Lumpia Fest. So there was pop up Filipino stands that aren't normally there. I throughly enjoyed trying various lumpia and ube flavored desserts. A staple in Smorgasburg is the Vermont Maple drinks highly recommend! 5 dollars for a good thirst quencher my fave is guava. It is crowded here so keep that in mind but some stands have QR codes that you can order ahead of time. read more

I love going to Smorgasburg, even though it's quite difficult to get to when you're driving. The food is amazing and quite diverse. Services is always friendly and helpful. There is one caveat, your best bet is to get there when they open, or within the first hour. This is when the lines are almost nonexistent and you can pick and choose all the food that you'd like. There are several picnic tables and a lawn area inside the circle of stalls. If you come at this time, you will be able to eat at some of the tables. Once it becomes afternoon, everything changes. The lines become super long and you will have to wait a long time just to get food from one stall. I can honestly say, all of the food that I chose was delicious and made me quite happy . read more

I came here on a Sunday afternoon with friends. I've never been to this location, only Williamsburg. This location seems to have less vendors but definitely less crowded. I didn't have to wait for any vendor at all and I went to a few of them. I tried the 5 baos (lamb, pork, chicken, beef, shitake mushroom) from Mao's Bao, chicken satay skewers from Indonesian Street Food, jerk chicken and rasta pasta from Treat Yourself Jerk, and matcha red bean bulldog taiyaki (waffle with filling) from Tojo's Kitchen. I liked the baos and the taiyaki the most. I would definitely come back! There's so much food to try! read more

I love the event. Many vegan options but little to no Gluten free options. The only thing I was safely able to have was mango from a stall, some elotes and some drinks. Everything I had was good.

Every year I go to the Prospect Park Smorgasburg location. I enjoy trying all the new foods they have. This year I tried the jerk chicken and Rasta pasta from Treat Yourself Jerk. The food was delicious. I got the medium hot sauce. The hot hot sauce I sampled and it was way too hot. Then I tried the Vermont Maple Lemonade and enjoyed the apple cider lemonade. You definitely tasted the apple cider in the lemonade. It was so refreshing. Lastly, I tried the kabobs from So Sarap which were tasty. I tried the chicken, beef, and pork kabobs. read more

Amazing food and energy the workers were very sweet and funny. A bit on the pricier side but other than that it was very outdoorsy and a great place to hang out. The food was to die for!!!! read more

It was my first time going, and I'm glad I got a chance to breeze through. I tried three different vendors, one for each part of the meal. The giant pomme frites are delicious, and the maple lemonade drinks made us return for another round. The bao buns were also pretty tasty, and the atmosphere was family-oriented and fun. The duck fat burger, on the other hand, was not so great (overcooked & underseasoned). But I will definitely come back to try more vendors next year! read more

Located by a lot of busses and major train lines about a five minute walk up a mini hill It was a scorcher today with limited seating and even more limited shade but we were determined to make the best of it. Had a BBQ shrimp po boy from Parish Po Boys, a burger from Burger Supreme, cookers from Bang Cookies and Ice cream from BONA ice cream ... everything was delicious. My only gripe was that everything was so expensive and the portions sizes didn't justify the prices. I understand the concept but you come wanting to try multiple dishes, you will be out almost 60 bucks! I would recommend it to try once but the cost adds up read more

First time visiting. We heard the music after visiting the zoo. Relaxing festive event. People bring camping chair, picnic blankets to lie around. Many food stalls with a few merchandise stalls. Food stalls offer many different food including burger, pizza, Malaysian and philipino food, ice cream, truffle fries...... we picked out two stalls: - Ha Tao Shrimps: Rock shrimp with choice of sauce $18. Very tasty and good portion. Add $3 to get a drink like lemonade or watermelon drink. Our family likes this stall the most. Will definitely buy again. - Japanese fried chicken : $13 plus $8 to add combo ( fries and drink). They don't taste like Japanese chicken. It reminds me of Popeyes fried chicken instead. Fries was well seasoned and crispy. Lemonade drink was watered down. Will skip this next time. Overall it was a relaxing fun afternoon. Zoo was 5 min walk from here. It makes a good prospect park day out. Tip: parking is no joke. Take public transportation. Smorgsburg will be held at prospect park ( Lincoln road entrance) every Sunday 11-6 pm til Oct 29, 2023. read more

I came here for the BBQ day. I arrived at 12pm, and there were already lines starting to form. Lines got significantly longer the next half hour or so. Some of the more popular places had run out of certain items. I tried Bark Barbecue and SmoKING of Meats. At Bark Barbecue I got the two meats plate of brisket and rib tips. The brisket was on the saltier side, but they give you some to try before you order. The arroz con gringa could have used more seasoning, but it balanced with the brisket. Cornbread had a spice that was either cinnamon or nutmeg, but it was crumbly and dry. Rib tips were the best. They were flavorful, moist, and tore apart easily. There were two bbq sauces. I preferred the sweeter one over the tangy one. At SmoKING of meats, they allowed us to get 1/4 lb of eat meat. Tried the ribs and the brisket. They were both really tender. By itself. the meats were okay, but the bbq sauce pairing made them taste significantly better. There were a good variety of vendors. There's live music. Make sure to bring a picnic blanket or something to sit on because there are no dining areas. Lines get out of control, and there isn't someone controlling how they form or where they lead. read more

This is a fun open-air food market held in Prospect Park on Sundays during the summer. Other locations include the World Trade Center and Williamsburg. There are dozens and dozens of vendors spanning foods of all cultures. Everything from lemonade to chicken to lobster to ice cream can be found. I got a cheesesteak from Fedoroff's which did not disappoint. It can get pretty packed so get there early with a blanket to get prime real estate under the shade in between the two rows of vendors. read more

Short review- Get stuff from Jakarta, Julien, or Mama's Cupboard. I was here with several others maybe two or three Sundays ago. It started off relatively quiet when we got there but by the time we were leaving, most of the places had a rather big line with the biggest line being the fries place along with the BBQ joint. As with my preferred food festival (Queens Night Market,) I'll be listing things by section as we tried a lot of things. Very good Jakarta Munch- Nasi uduk (coconut rice) with beef rendang served with vegetables, pickle, kerupuk, sambal, fried garlic, and shallot. This was fantastic and worth it for the 15/16$. It could have maybe been a little bit spicier but otherwise, the flavors were very good. The only thing I'd suggest is sell packets of their kerupuk as this would be a nice snack. Julien Boulangerie- Canelé. Very good canele. Perhaps slightly too hard on the outside but very well flavored and certainly worth it. The other person who got something there found their almond croissant unique but tasty. Good- Yakitori Tatsu- Eel skewer. Very good flavors. Nice large pieces of eel. Mostly worth it for 9$. Other people had the beef (which they liked) as well as the chicken which they liked a lot and definitely had the biggest potion for the price (I guess makes sense from them calling themselves Yakitori.) Vaquero Elotes- Passion fruit/maracuya juice. Good flavors. Not too sweets/sour. Big drink also. Alright (tasty but not worth it for the price) D'Abruzzo- Lamb arrostacini. This was a bit over 3 bucks for a tiny but very juicy skewer. The taste was nice from both the marinade and the charcoal but I wouldn't bother ordering one again because it just wasn't worth it (even with the deal for extra for cheaper.) Yakitori Tatsu- Scallop skewer. Good texture but tiny not super sweet scallops. Alright. Not recommended Noodle Lane- Dan dan noodles with pork, Sichuan pepper, veggies, and #scallions. I ordered medium spicy and it really wasn't spicy enough. I saw them add the chili oil and I mixed it well (or at least as well as I could with the tiny container but it didn't add much flavor. The bottom of the noodles was just watery and I really didn't like the noodle texture either. Just not good. The pork in it was fine at least. Other (things they ordered which I didn't try/ didn't have enough to review) Mama's Cupboard- Pad Thai + tofu combo. Very big portion for the price. One of the few things really worth the money. Not surprised as I love their midtown location (fantastic Bahn mi there.) Mao's Bao- Mixed dumplings- Very filling dumplings. She preferred the lamb and pork of her mix. Home Frite- Truffle fries. Tried one of. Very tasty and very rich and easily big enough to share. Oyster Party- Lobster roll. Didn't try. They liked it. As someone said, "It's 22$ so it better be good and it was." Overall the food here is fine. Some definite highlights (Indonesian, the canelé) with a couple lowlights. The prices here are too high compared to my preferred food festival but I think that places just outclasses other ones. Mid 3. read more

As we live in the area, we visit Smorgasburg at least a couple times a year. We enjoyed the new offerings this season, including the Filipino BBQ spot, the jerk chicken, tater tots from the fried seafood spot, and the Taiwanese bao from C Bao (not new, but just new to me). Everything was pretty good and I'd get the Filipino skewers and bao again. As always, the park is BYO seating, which is always a challenge if you have a big group. But the food offerings are fun on a nice day. read more

Warning not a family friendly environment for small kids. At least 4 of the stands were playing extremely vulgar music. I mean really bad explicit sex songs. As if they were trying to drive business away. I like the idea of playing music but this is not the place for that flavor. Food was decent Vermont Maple lemonade -Arnold Palmer flavor was my savior $6. Decent price for what it was. Toastie land - grilled cheese was good. I got the three cheese grilled cheese and added bacon. It was $15. King of pricy for cheese and bread with a little bacon. Sandwich was ok. Music here as described above was inappropriate for the venue but not the only place doing this. Picho truck. - best thing we ate beef skewers with some chimichurri sauce amazing. Tender and delicious. Ate some chicharon from a Mexican stand which was not very good. Too much fat. Not enough crispy $17. Expensive for the poor quality. Forgot the stand name. read more

Crowded, overpriced for what it is, and the food is hit or miss from vendor to vendor. Some vendors are good, but it is difficult to walk and look around due to the lines blocking the walkways. Very similar to the Smorgasburg in Williamsburg and a lot of the same vendors. read more

Literally food heaven! I came here a few months back and had a blast! There are so many food and drink vendors to choose from. I started off with an iced coffee from Sister Yard. Then I tried a shrimp sandwich, and the lobster roll was pretty good. You can not leave here without having ice cream and/or lemonade! Looking forward to coming here 2 or 3 times later this year. read more

Delicious food, lots of choices. Didn't see many "healthy" choices but lots of fun options to choose from, fruit, drinks, dessert, etc etc. Busy but not mobbed, and we were able to snag spots at picnic tables and on the grass when needed. Not sure if there were porta potties or just bathrooms by the Lincoln Rd entrance. 2 water refill stations. Prices generally weren't too bad either. read more

Such a nice area with good/cool food trucks if you want to do a day out and grab a bite in the park. We drove from the Bronx but Managed to find parking as a real New Yorker should On a Sunday. Sundays is when they are located in this location. All spots took card and cash. We ate things like brick oven pizza, ice cream, baos, dumplings, bubble tea, Brazilian empanadas, and more ! It was 3 of us sharing plates and we spent about $100. Nothing is "cheap" but somethings were definitely overpriced for their size. Once you walk into the park you follow the path to the back, you will see the UBER EATS sign and right there. It's a decent size space with trucks in a circle with graaa area all around to sit and eat. Bring your dogs and children out for some fresh air! I would come here again if i was in BK on a Sunday. I love me some good food trucks! Some of my favorite were from DESTINATION DUMPLINGS, BAO TEA HOUSE, MAO BAO, WOOD FIRED EDIBLES, & ROOSTER BOY FRIED CHICKEN. Check out my photos for some of the tasty treats we got!! read more

Smorgasburg at Prospect Park was a fun spot spend our Sunday afternoon at, trying various bites from different vendors of all cuisines! It was very busy, but lots of space for people to lay out blankets to sit, and some picnic tables towards the back by the beverages (beer, cocktails, alcohol). The event had sufficient venues for everyone to find something they're interested in, but not overwhelming at all. We started with an Arnold Palmer maple syrup lemonade which kept us hydrated as we loops around the vendors. We also tried Yakitori Tatsu (Kobe beef, Takoyaki, Eel skewers) that smelled delicious with freshly grilled meats. We also tried Petisco Brazuca's chicken coxinha (10 for $15) - my partner is Brazilian and he highly approved! We also had Home Frite's truffle fries that came with delicious sauce on the side. In general, though lines can be long, they move generally pretty fast, so definitely line up for something if you're interested! Overall, a great time here and would love to go to other Smorgasburgs! read more

My first time here. I walked around the entire park to see all the vendors. It most certainly was hot. Wear a hat. But it was worth it. So many different food vendors all in one place. No benches, or seats. People just were sitting in the grass or with their own chairs. It was very crowded. But doable to walk around the event comfortably. The truffle fries was my first choice with blueberry lemonade. Sooooo yummy with the truffle dipping sauce. They had some plant based & vegan vendors as well. The lines for oxtail were so long. I opted for this amazing seafood dish. They even had a cocktail vendor as well. A wonderful way to spend your Sunday afternoon. You won't be disappointed. read more

If you haven't been to Smorgasburg and you're a foodie, you need to come and check it out. Multiple vendors from across NYC (and beyond) offer delicious options to enjoy. I've been here multiple times, and it's never been a disappointment. Even though the weather isn't always nice, they are still open rain or shine. This past weekend I tried Sister Yard for the first time. If you need caffeine, their cold brew is a must. read more

First time back at smorgasburg this year and it was a treat! There was a sizable amount of vendors back with a significant variety of options from dumplings to jerk tacos to oysters. There were crowds throughout but nothing like traditional Smorgasburg. The longest lines were at the lemonade stand (pomegranate hibiscus lemonade!) but that moved super quickly, within 5 minutes. All vendors now take credit card with many accepting Apple Pay. Very convenient. Ordered a variety of food including Peking duck dumplings, chicken karaage on a stick, and duck poutine. The standout was definitely the gorgeous drink, pictured here. This was a butterfly pea tea lemonade with lychee jelly. Would definitely recommend. read more

A foodies paradise!!!!! Booths on booths on booths of incredible trendy food. Anything you're in the mood for, they've got! Things I tried: birria tacos, rice balls, lamb and chicken skewers, mozzarella sticks, Mexican style sausage, donuts, empanadas & vegan bacon egg and cheese, shaved ice & lemonade. Oooooooooooh my. Still full and recovering lol. The only negative I have is that the park is so big, it was our first time here so we were kinda lost and couldn't find the location of the event but I do think that has everything to do with where we parked and because we ventured off to take some photos near some sculptures lol. We ended up taking an unexpected hike through the woods when we smelt the food and realized where it was. Got my cardio in for sure which was needed before all this grub! Expect to spend about $10-15 dollars per booth, the items normally start there & up. Not bad considering the amount of food & that it's all on trend. I wish I wasn't as full as I was because there was so much more I wanted to try but I'll deff be back! (P.s, all of the booths I went to took Apple Pay which made checking out super quick!) read more

It's been like 2 whole years that I have been to Smorgasburg. And I didn't even know it was in Prospect Park. So yeah I had the best Mother's Day ever this year when I was invited by my sister. I got there around 2pm and walked from Franklin like a fool but it was a beautiful day. The instructions on my Apple Maps got me right thru the park and straight to the festival. It was about a 5 minutes walk from the Lincoln road entrance. And yeah I had lobster rolls, dumplings, ice-cream, truffle fries, oysters &, mini gay donuts. I didn't get to try Jace bbq or bunnan BK but we also had pizza and mangos. We ate a whole lot and brought a blanket to chill on. People were playing cards and having a chill afternoon. It wasn't to crowded and I think there were like 20 something vendors. They had alcohol and bathrooms and just pure foodie fun! read more
