Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

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.

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.
