Retro Chicken

About Retro Chicken

American street food is the lane at Retro Chicken in Akureyri — burgers and casual, counter-style eating for lunch and dinner. It's the kind of straightforward, familiar stop that a road-trip day in the north often calls for, especially with tired passengers on board.

Counter-style ordering suits the end of a driving day in the north, when a group is tired and nobody wants to wait long for a table. Akureyri is where most northern itineraries pause for the night, and food this familiar and unfussy travels well with children, or with anyone worn down by hours on the ring road.
