Review Summary

Reviews describe Dunn's Famous as a classic Montreal smoke meat diner with generous portions and a strong focus on smoked meat dishes, especially the iconic smoked meat sandwich and meat platters, served with fries, coleslaw and pickles; the meat is often praised as tender, moist and peppery with a balanced salt level, though some visits note leaner or thicker slices and occasional portion or price concerns. The atmosphere is lively and diner like, open late with bright lighting, and the staff are described as friendly and attentive in many cases, while a few experiences mention slow service, long waits during peak hours, or takeout mixups. Poutines and other Montreal staples appear on many tables, with mixed feedback on meat content and gravy, and desserts such as carrot cake and cheesecake are highlighted as pluses. The menu also features burgers, salads, veggie wraps, latkes, matzo ball soup and more, attracting a broad crowd. Overall Dunn's Famous is seen as a reliable, nostalgic spot for smoked meat lovers with standout flavor and solid service, though price, portion consistency and occasional service gaps can affect some visits.

Wife & I both had the smoked meat combo, & was really good. The meat wasn't salty, & was the right temperature. The smoked meat egg rolls are addictive!
The server was pleasant & served us well.

Served up a medium fat Super Jumbo Smoked Meat Sandwich, with Fries, coleslaw & a dill. Washed down with a pint of Heineken.
Served by the smiling & friendly Kassandra.
My wife had The Honey Mustard Chicken Salad with a Sangria
Had to be cut by a master cutter as it was juicy & tender, almost shaved slices.
For dessert a lovely slice of their Carrot Cake.

High prices but good value for the smoked meat. Coleslaw has too much horseradish. Great pickles. The cake is good but not $12 good. Wish I could have swapped the coleslaw for fries. Wish mini salads were on the menu- they were listed as an add-on for a combo for $5.

I ordered a burger & upgraded my fries to a poutine, & the portion size was fantastic-definitely filling. The poutine was delicious, with rich gravy, & just the right amount of cheese curds. For dessert, I tried the carrot cake on the recommendation of friends, & it did not disappoint! It was moist, flavorful, & had just the right amount of sweetness. The service was attentive & friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. The only minor issue was that the burger patty was a bit bland, but it was still cooked well.

We were at Dunn's on Décarie boulevard, during this week around 2pm. The smoked meat lean was very good. The portion of the "Petit Combo" is getting smaller & smaller but it tastes very good as usual. The fries portion was huge but the fries were cold, not even warm. The service was adequate & waitress was pleasant. The cheesecake was OK but not the cheesecake Dunn's was famous for! they must have changed the recipe or used a very salty creme cheese, because the cheese cake was slightly salty, something we never tasted before & we did not like. We will return, but next time we go, we'll just order the smoked meat which is always good, but no more cheesecake.

I've tried their food & it's not that great. Smoked meat isn't that great & the fries are not good at all. The only thing I love about Dunns is those cakes & pickled jars. Love the cakes & hopefully we can get some more flavors.

Pleasant dining area with nice red booths. Great service, waiter friendly & attentive. Huge, excellent Club Sandwich. Regular smoked meat platter comes with lots of fries, creamy coleslaw & a crunchy half pickle. Unfortunately the smoked meat sandwich, ordered medium was a little dry. But this was an exception, I will go back. No room for dessert :( The cakes look amazing!

Smoked meat sandwich & layered carrot cake really hit the spot when I needed it. The mustard was a surprisingly a bit overpowering, the bread would have been better lightly toasted.
