Reviews for Dunn's Famous describe a mix of consistently praised smoked meat, generous portions, and friendly, fast service, with many noting open late and solid takeout and dine-in options; some visits mention slower service or busy nights and occasional missteps with reservations, while a few criticisms point to value for money and uneven portions or sides not meeting expectations, but the overall impression centers on a classic Montreal deli experience where the smoked meat is moist and flavorful, the sandwiches are often crowd pleasers, and desserts like carrot cake and cheesecake are well liked, all set in a bright, family friendly atmosphere that attracts locals and visitors.
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.

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.
Free parking in the plaza.

Went there tonight for the first (& DEFINITELY the last time). Besides the fact that we waited about half an hour to be seated - I understand that, busy Saturday evening - the food was absolutely not worth the money. The poutine had a total of 3-4 tiny pieces of cheese, barely any sauce in it & the fries were dry as hell. I'm 99% sure they use frozen potatoes. The smoked meat sandwich was ok but I wouldn't pay that much for that, ever again. The guy who took our order was rather rude but hey, at least his acrylic nails & brows were on point 🫢 long story short, avoid this place at all costs & just go to Mc Donald's instead, their fries are better.
This time the medium smoked meat was delicious. Not always consistent but very happy this time with smoked meat poutine, decadent, sandwiches, latkas, matzo ball soup a bit bland, Karnatzel was small for $6.50. so focus in the mainstays & you'll do just fine. The young man who took care of us was excellent. So perhaps the last time was an anomaly. & it was as I visited again six months later & the smoked meat was moist & juicy & peppery. Yum! Service was great too. Young lady, dark hair didn't know her name but exceptional
J'ai commandé une poutine à emporter & j'ai été très déçu par la quantité. La boîte était à peine remplie à moitié! Décevant pour une poutine à 20$.
Très bon cependant.
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.
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.

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!
From tender brisket to savory poutines, every bite is packed with goodness! The dinner ambiance adds to the experience, making it a must-visit!Don't miss out on their poutine & friendly service.
Great Diner & has underrated smoked meat.. use to be a late night spot as it was 24hr You would have to double check now but a nice portion with fries or poutine & that smoked meat always hit the right notes when entering Montreal through Decarie
