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.

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.
