Yummy! Price is reasonable. Have to wait for a while. I waited for about 15 mins when there were about 10-20 people ahead of me. Worth the wait.

This is not an ordinary hot dog stand but a globally recognized icon. The hot dogs are very tasty with a skin that "snaps." When in Reykjavik, be sure to stop in, get in the line, and order your dog.
Definitely worth trying. Tasty no issues and it is the Icelandic experience. We didn't go back for more but it is definitely a thing to do in Iceland.
Not your Momma's hot dog! Definitely differnt for an American Southerner and a vey good taste. Worth the standing in line with the locals and other tourists.
Got told to try this out ( from uk) and went tonight to have one Omg it was lovely The young lad friendly and advised to try everything on it He was spot on It was lovely and I’m going to go tommorrow before I...go home to get one again Must defo try one amazingMore
We were lucky to stop by here when the queues were short - it's a popular spot! Nice hotdogs, reasonable price. They're a little different to the UK norm, coming with crunchy onions, ketchup, and a sweet mustard-relish that was very moreish. Good for a...quick snack to fuel your wanderings of Reykjavik.More
Must go with the Icelandic version! love the onions (both types) on the bottom and the mix of ketchup, mustard and remoulade sauce on top. It had a smoky flavor to the hot dog and you'd never know it was lamb. Went there as part...of the Wake Up Reykjavik food tour. Fun!More
Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur is an iconic hot dog stand in downtown Reykjavík for locals and tourists alike. I imagine it's an enduring spot because 1) it's open late until 1/2am in a city where most shops close by 10pm 2) it sells hot dogs and...soft drinks for very cheap 3) its celebrity clientele boasts figures like Bill Clinton, Metallica, and Anthony Bourdain. While there are seven locations scattered throughout Iceland, its flagship on Tryggvagata is perennially packed with a long (but quickly moving) line. The hot dogs are made with a mixture of lamb, pork, and beef which made the wiener quite sweet naturally. During my visit to Iceland, I saw a lot of sheep roaming freely and grazing grass all day long, so I've come to really appreciate the quality of lamb in Iceland-- this is a hot dog I didn't particularly feel guilty or scared about in terms of what was processed/mixed in. I think the hot dogs did lack a snap but I enjoyed the condiments it came with including raw white onions, crispy fried onions, ketchup, pylsusinnep (sweet brown mustard), and remoulade (made with mayo, capers, mustard, and herbs). I didn't think I would like the raw onions but they provided a mellow sweet crunch to the hot dog overall. I would definitely recommend a visit to this iconic and beloved eatery in Iceland!More
Had to try as everyone raves about them. So we did a hot dog test! And for me, these weren’t as good as I hoped. Still tasty, but had better in Reykjavik 🌭
Small hot dog stand with great tasting hot dogs. Quick service. Tried one and had to have a second one with everything on them. The crunchy fried onions gave them a great crispy texture. A must try if you like hot dogs
Not sure what all the fuss is about . . . hot dog is average at best compared with a Nathan’s or a Hebrew National (from the US). Maybe it’s because this is the only food one can get from a restaurant in Iceland for...under USD10 (outrageously expensive in Iceland). At nearly USD5.50, it can’t hold a candle to a USD3.00 Gray’s Papaya hot dog from NYC. There is a decent snap to the initial bite. But the meat is mushy. Flavor is okay. The fried onions (?) are pretty good to add some texture. It also came with raw onions, ketchup and two kinds of mustard. But honestly, I’d rather get an NYC hot dog with mustard and sauerkraut any day.More
Every one says you have to have the hotdog. I say I have had a better dirty water dog at Yankee Stadium. Maybe it is the lamb base, but I love lamb. It just didn’t work for me.
We visited the stand at the airport. No queues here unlike the harbour branch. Iconic tourist spots and had to ve done. Approx £4. Tasty but not as soecial as they make out. Sauces bland - I orefer strong English mustard on mine!
Holy dog! Best hot dogs ever. Get it loaded with onions raw and fried, ketchup, mustard and Bernaise sauce. Absolutely delicious.
I had seen this on YouTube so took my son to try it, we joined the long queue and…… the result was average to be honest. I like hotdogs so ate the lot but it was just a bang average boiled hotdog, the atmosphere around...the stand was good but I don’t understand the overhypeMore
