Review Summary

Dunn's Famous is widely regarded as a staple for traditional deli food in Montreal, particularly known for its generous smoked meat sandwiches, flavorful coleslaw, and famous pickles. While many patrons praise the speedy service, consistent quality, and late-night accessibility, experiences can be inconsistent, with some guests noting issues regarding portion sizes, pricing, and the texture of the meat or fries. The atmosphere is generally described as classic and family-friendly, though occasional service lapses and peak-hour noise are mentioned. Overall, the restaurant remains a popular choice for those craving authentic deli staples and classic desserts like cheesecake, despite varying opinions on value and specific dish preparation.

After many Montreal visits staying in other areas of town, this was my first time staying here near Decarie, so of course I had to visit both Snowdon Deli & this Dunn's location. After being totally disappointed down the road at Snowdon, Dunn's redeemed the area. Had an excellent smoked meat Reuben (sans sauerkraut)..:the meat was plentiful & flavorful & the skin-on fries were also solid (& too much…I left many over). I did leave room for their famous strawberry cheesecake, & it lived up to the hype (& I also couldn't finish it!). Service from server Dino was friendly & on point. Highly recommend!

Got the super deluxe combo & friend tried the cheesecake. The combo was good but fries was a let down - the pickle was the best part but the meat was really good! Cheesake was'fluffy & 7.8'

Grabbed some take out as the hotel next door. We had the Soup, mac & cheese, poutine, & small sandwich (6oz) combo. The sandwich was ok, i would not order again, tasted ok, had to add more mustard, the bread was soggy, not sure if it's the location as others said the original location is the go to. Mac & cheese is amazing, the meat was chopped up & looked almost like a bacon crumble it was great & would def get it again. The soup was ok, barely warm, better with some pepper & a pinch of salt. The poutine wasn't that great, the famous pickle & coleslaw (tastes like its made with a B&B pickle brine) were excellent. The regular fries were good. I read the cheesecake is good but we didn't order it this visit.

I do love traditional deli food. The smoked meat was delicious & serving sizes were generous . I wish I had room for a slice a cheesecake (which they are known for) but alas my belly was full. Highly recommended.

Terrible experience every time. I order the $15 cheesecake slice & it ALWAYS comes melted because they pack it with the hot food. I've left order notes repeatedly & they still ignore them. Whoever is managing the evenings clearly doesn't care - & the bad service reflects that. The reviews don't lie.

Smoked meat just fell apart on the fork, & the strawberry cheesecake was amazing.
They can't drive in Montreal but they know their way around the kitchen.

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.

Cheesecake is definitely a must try dessert as it's home made

Poppyseed Bagel style bun on a burger? Strange combo. Cheesecake was excellent though.
