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.
On a fait appel à leur service de traiteur pour un événement corporatif. C'était génial! Excellent smoked meat. Le classique sandwich accompagné de cornichons & de salade de choux. Sans parler de leur gâteau aux carottes & aux fromage avec caramel... décadent & RICHE!
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.

Amazing service & yummy veggie wraps! Joined my carnivore bf to his favorite greasy spoon with the intention of just having coleslaw salad & fries & was pleasantly surprised their delish veggie wraps. Service was beyond good, our waitress was lovely & the service was fast!
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 $5.
I ate at this restaurant a couple of times & needless to say I do not recommend this place as the food is mediocre & the service is downright poor, You can make any food item on their menu at home & it would taste 20 times better.I ordered an onion soup & a veggie burger. The onion soup tasted good but it was cold & the veggie burger was bland, it tasted like the frozen veggie burgers sold at metro stores for 4$ stuffed between a burger bun, I tried adding ketchup, mustard & even the coleslaw salad that came with the plate to add some flavour (& it was still bad). As for the service, it was just so bad. The waitress & even the manager were rude. When we tried to pay the bill, the shady manager did not take a liking to the tip he deserved & tried to make us believe that we needed to pay an extra charge. He wanted to ask for a bigger tip ( which he certainly did not deserve because he was very rude) by beating around the bush saying that " there's an extra charge". We gave him a bigger tip because I did not want to cause a scene & straight out not give him any tips at all. This manager needs to get a better paying job if he shamelessly tries to scam people like that. That was just desperate.
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.
