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.
Great deli style restaurant. Known for their smoked meat dishes but they have many other types of food available. Staff are quick & friendly. Parking can be a challenge as the parking lot is shared with 3 other restaurants. Great for late night food & take out available. Good for groups as well. You can watch sports on their tv as well
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.
Un classique indémodable. Un des meilleurs smoked meat à Montréal. Service sympathique & rapide, salle agréable, spacieuse & propre. & les heures d'ouverture sont parfaites pour oiseaux de nuit.
We came for dinner with my parents & 2 children. The children's menu portions were way too small, especially for hungry 7 & 10 year old boys. The hotdogs were too small, & my older son had to order a 2nd one. My younger one had spaghetti but was still hungry after, & ended up ordering 2 hotdogs!
The server, Kathleen, was friendly, but the service was very slow. We were there for 2 hours!
The food generally was good & tasty, especially the smoked meat fried rice ordered by my mother.
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
We drive from lachine for their sandwiches.. great staff , & always a great experience. On a recent mixup on takeout the staff went above & beyond to apologize & make amends. Customer service is a1.
