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.

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'

Overpriced, but consistent. Better to buy the jar of pickles than to order extra.

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.

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.

Great smoke meat. Food is very authentic, as I remembered back in the years. Fried pickles were a good surprise. Service is a little bit slow, but waiters are very friendly. The atmosphere is very cozy, but depending on the hours the guests can be a little loud

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.

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.

You simply must come for their coleslaw & pickles. Everything else was amazing, but those two were simply iconic! Ask them to sell you coleslaw to take home with you. You won't regret! Service 5 stars also.
