It is a small place, for take away, very popular and has been in business with the same owner for years and years. Try the traditional hot dog, like we Icelanders enjoy it, or hamburgers, sandwich, etc. Fast service and you do not even have to leave the car :) Located by the bridge, can´t miss it !
