Dunn's Famous is seen as a dependable spot for smoked meat with consistently flavorful meat, generous portions, and quick service, though some visits note that the poutine can be underwhelming and a few plates are drier or greasier than hoped, while the prices can feel high to some diners. The menu is varied and praised for creative uses of smoked meat beyond classic sandwiches, with desserts like strawberry cheesecake often highlighted as a standout, and sides such as fries receiving mixed remarks. Service is described as friendly, attentive, and efficient by many, though a few experiences mention slower pacing or timing issues, depending on the crowd. Ambience ranges from stylish table designs and warm welcomes to calls for refreshing the decor at certain locations, but the overall impression is that the restaurant delivers solid food and good value for portions. Taken together, Dunn's Famous earns praise for its signature smoked meat and generous servings while inviting occasional critique on specific items and price, making it a go to choice for smoked meat lovers seeking a reliable dining experience.
L'entrée Combo double D était vraiment bonne 👌
Il manquerait juste un peu de miel pour accompagner les onion rings.
Mon repas principal était le wrap mexicain : très bon 🌯
Il manquerait seulement un petit cup de sauce pour l'accompagner, soit mayo ou chipotle, mais sinon c'était excellent.
Le riz était correct, on goûtait bien les légumes.
Pour la poutine, elle était plutôt ordinaire honnêtement. Les frites étaient correctes & le fromage bon, mais c'est surtout la sauce que j'ai moins aimée. La sauce est un mix de sucré & très poivré, un goût qui se rapproche un peu de celle du Costco.
Petit plus pour l'ambiance : les tables sont vraiment cool avec leur design, ça ajoute au style du resto 👌
Côté service : 10/10 🔥
Deuxième fois que je viens & le service est toujours A1. Serveurs super sympathiques & attentionnés.
Je ne recommande pas leur poutine au smoke meat. Manque grandement de sauce, c'est une poutine sèche, avec un peu de fromage, mais beaucoup de miettes de smoke meat... À 25$, je m'attendais à une super poutine!

Went on a Monday night around 8:00 PM. We were greeted at the door, & quickly taken to a booth (as requested). We each ordered a smoked meat plate.
There is a very varied menu from salads, poutine, smoked meat offerings, burgers etc.. In order to leave room for their famous Strawberry Cheesecake, we both chose to only eat half of the smoked meat plate. The background music is oldies, which is loud enough to hear, but not so loud that you cannot hear yourself talk. It was indeed a pleasant ending to a busy & tiring day. Service was very attentive, & our server, Christopher, went out of his way to accomodate our requests.
Dunn's is one of the few remaining places that still opens until very late in the night which is really nice for people like me that eat dinner very late. The service was friendly & quite pleasant. The food was served quite quickly too & all the waiters were quite polite. The noise level was pretty low & the tables are pretty spacious which makes the dining experience more enjoyable. I was however seated on a table with a broken booth. The leather was ripped open & the seat was quite uncomfortable the whole meal. For the food, the flavours are pretty on point & the quality of the ingredients are pretty good. I really enjoy their smoked meat which has a good balance of fat & meat. The carbonara that I had on the other hand wasn't too amazing in my opinion. I feel like there was just too much cream & it was overwhelming the flavours of everything else. It made the whole meal taste like nothing but cream & it wasn't that enjoyable. The poutines & the pizzas were pretty good though. The portions are also pretty decent considering that each meal is charged around 20-25$.
Le Reuben était incroyable, je l'ai pris médium, changer la frite en poutine. C'est pour cela que c'était plus chère 40$ avec tx & pourboire. Quand c'est bon ça me dérange pas de payer. Tout était très bon du sandwich à la salade de chou!!

Petit dîner de fin de semaine. Portion de poutine raisonnable & bien garnie avec assez de sauce. Pizza est très bonne mais croûte très mince (pourrais être amélioré). Les saveurs étaient la. Nous avons eu un excellent service & le tout très rapidement.
Our first time here. We had no expectations but were pleasantly surprised on the venue. Place was clean. Music was good & not overly load. Service was fast. Portions were good size. I upgraded my fries to a poutine, but would not do it again. I chose the smoke meat platter. I took medium next time I will take fatty. My significant other took the chicken wrap. She enjoyed it.
