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.
Cassandra is an amazing waitress. She is kind, gives excellent service & makes the dining experience worth it. Dunns is open until 2am with flexible hours & the service is great. Cassandra remembered the same meal I ordered the previous time I went there & she is very fast & clears everything & makes sure everything is okay. She is genuine & helps to give Dunns a great reputation. I am taking time out of my work day tomorrow to call the manager to tell him/her about her excellent service. Bon Appétit!
J'ai plus aimé la sandwish que aux Reuben & aux Schwartz en grande partie parce que chez Dunn ils demandent si ont veux la viande maigre ou moyennement gras ou gras & bien sûr j'ai pris le plus gras des trois.
Les prix sûr le menus n'était pas a jour.

DUNN'S FAMOUS POUTINE $21.25 poutine with their famous smoked meat & their famous gravy. Though their smoked meat was really the loose ends with bits & pieces. For 21$, expected a bit more meat & cheese & gravy.
The customer service is really nice. The servers were polite & sweet. The food is really good, except for spaghetti. But you don't go to Dunn's for spaghetti & pizza. You have to take the smoked meat sandwich it's really bomb. I would recommend calling first to see if they have tables available. Today we were a little unlucky we had to wait so long because a group of tourists reserved half the place!
OK so... I went for lunch & had a simple smoked meat sandwich (no sides) & my wife, something similar. The bill came out to 75.00. I'm sorry but in no univers was that meal worth 75.00 bucks. The smoked meat sandwich was dry & really uneventful & my wife felt the same about her meal. We usually go to Jary Smoked meat & I have never been disappointed. I thought Dunns would have been better.
We were a table of five & ordered the famous Super Combo Smoked Meat Sandwich, the Club Roll, & the Carbonara Dunn's. Our server provided quick & fantastic service, & the food was absolutely delectable. However, the bright sunlight reflecting off the cars outside made it uncomfortable whenever we looked up - some window shades would have made the experience even better.
What can I say? We have loved Dunn's smoked meat for well over 25 years. Old fashioned smoked meat at its finest! Service was prompt & friendly. Will be returning for sure!
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.
Never going back! My $20 smoked meat sandwich had 4 slices in it, & although I asked for lean, half of it was fat! When I pointed it out to our waitress, she just took it back to the kitchen, came back, shrugged & said "the chef says it's lean". This location has definitely lost the quality we were used to at Dunns. Quite sad.
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.
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.
Mexicana Poutine was so delicious, not soo heavy either. Also tried the Dunn's Famous Poutine, was a great portion of meat toppings. Definitely worth visiting!
First time to try Dunn's & I had Supper Special with Pout Dunns Upgrade! It was very good & tasty sandwich - not big enough if you are hungry, the Poutine was huge & too loaded for me (not a big fan)! Not a cheap meal > 40 Service was amazing! I would come back to try other stuff for sure!
