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 wrote a long detailed review then decided it should be short & curt to make sure people read it. Total rip off...AGAIN! the smoke meat in the Reuben was not steamed enough making it rubbery & chewy. I had to ask for the dressing. The waitress offered wonderful customer service where I declined her graciously offer to bring another as it would have taken too long & it would have been the same. My mistake because when I got home I had a Swiss cheese sandwich (note how the cheese is not melted, no saukraut, & NO SMOKE MEAT)! The pictures tell the story. The French fries were also a great disappointment. Usually a great part of the meal that turned out to be fries that were lukewarm & reminded us of 3pm end of a buffet fries. Do better...so sad. PLEASE NOTE: I asked for the meat to be on the fat side...

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.

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 ⭐

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 used to love eating here but over the last few months the quantity & quality of the food has noticeably declined. The Reuben sandwich used to practically topple from the quantity of smoked meat in it but the one I had about three weeks ago sat forlornly flat on the plate which looked full only because the fries were spread all around. Tonight, the club sandwich's chicken, which used to be in big chunks was shreded so small, that it scattered out of the sandwich when held in my hand. The last slice of bread (burnt around the edges) was soggy from the too ripe tomatoes,in all honesty, there was bacon in the sandwich but not even half of what used to be & the actual size of the sandwich was noticeably smaller than usual. I used to be barely able to finish a club sandwich. Not tonight. Plate was clean. Service was friendly, as usual but when tried to bring these convcerns up with the waitress, I was courtly directed to the internet reviews. I guess she has signed off on the complaint department. I hope all this can be improved. I've been a loyal customer for a long time, it would be a pitty to have to forgo what I'm sure us still a great place to eat late at night.

It's not bad, not great, food is good not just the smoked meat but the pizzas & pastas, though very over priced even more than Schwarts & they are no where near the quality & flavor of Schwarts, even Reubens is a better bargain. Service is acceptable & a nice place to sit & catch up with friends very relaxing open atmosphere. Just the food is a tad over priced.

J'ai lu les mauvaises opinions sur ce restaurant mais je dois avouer que nous avons eu une bonne experience a ce restaurant..

Nous y sommes alles un lundi vers 15 heures..de nombreux clients pour
cette heure entre le lunch & le souper..

On nous a accueilli toute suite avec un grand sourire..

Tres gros choix de plat..
Mon mari a choisi le hot dog tout boeuf & moi le reubens sandwich..
Mon mari a bien aime son hot dog.& moi j'ai bien aime le reubens qui n'est pas tres offert dans les delis montrealais...
Malgre qu on utilise le smoked meat ou lieu du tradionnel corned beef
le reubens etait tres bon..

service rapide & courtois...
