Po'Boy Pop-Up Coming To Cortelyou Road, Neighbors Say

DITMAS PARK, BROOKLYN — Cortelyou Road just got a po’boy pop up.

Brooklyn Belly, the beloved fried shrimp eatery and the neighborhood’s first food truck, will return as a pop-up inside the cafe Qathra at 1112 Cortelyou Road, according to neighbors on Nextdoor.com

“Same delicious fried shrimp, Whiting fish and jerk chicken, same chef,” wrote Lois Sakany on the hyperlocal social media site. “Same everything.”

ReBelly, as the impromptu eatery is called, was once a neighborhood favorite that closed it’s 915 Cortelyou Road location in 2015 because of problems with the landlord, Bklyner reported.

But building issues shouldn’t be a problem for owner Odeis Stephenson this time, as he’ll be sharing a chef’s kitchen with Qathra and serving up fried shrimp po’boys, baskets of cracked conch, jerk chicken pizzas, fried mac and cheese and more,.

ReBelly will take over the Cortelyou Road cafe from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. from Thursday to Saturday and will deliver orders that cost more than $15 in the neighborhood.
