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.
This place is tops. Five stars for a super Reuben Sandwich. The dark rye was the'must have'. I'll be back to try one of the desserts I saw in the display case. Customer service was wonderful. Brianna get 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.
Phenomenal food - the Reuben Sandwich is the best anywhere. The food is all prepared fresh, delicious, & fast. Fast service. I've been here several times & rarely do the servers come to check with the custumer after the food has arrived. Phenomenally delicious food, good list of beverages, & amazing desserts. Dunn's is definitely a huge hit & is extremely busy on Friday & Saturday nights. I rate Dunn's 4.5 out of 5 mustaches.
The restaurant is very clean & has generally a relaxed atmosphere that is suitable for families with children. There is an assortment of food options that are well suited for kids & adults. The poutine & burger was delicious. The hot chicken sandwich was mediocre. We didn't have any desserts but they looked amazing. The bathrooms are very clean.
Old school smoked meat with fries, pickles, & cole slaw. Diner deli style restaurant. The food was yummy, but we were shocked how much the price went up for a simple lunch, no dessert, but thanks.

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!
Overpriced. Beware of substitutions. We used to come here quite often, but took a break when we moved to a different hood. Went back tonight with friends & were disappointed. The burgers tasted like they were frozen first, bland & not juicy. My child's kids meal of 2 chicken nuggets & veggies somehow cost $15, without dessert. I get inflation, but at least don't skimp on portions, flavor & quality. Serve was excellent as usual.
Not just for Smoked meat, although its good too,
This Dunns has a good Table DHote Menu, including soup, or caesar salad, main course lots of choices, & beverage for under $13-$18 ea.
Wondering where to get a rib steak dinner ? Here it is , tasty 12oz.
Fish & Chips (can substiture for Baked Potato ) was great also.
& I must say the Caesar salad is very good here.
Nothing fancy , but free parking , unlim beverage refill, & TV to watch hockey or baseball if you want to . Good dessert menu too.
