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.
We were a table of five & ordered the famous Super Combo Smoked Meat Sandwich, the Club Roll, & the Carbonara Dunn's. Our server provided quick & fantastic service, & the food was absolutely delectable. However, the bright sunlight reflecting off the cars outside made it uncomfortable whenever we looked up - some window shades would have made the experience even better.

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$.
Très bon cependant.
Por fin un entrecôte con gusto! Unas patatas fritas exquisitas (cosa difícil de encontrar en Québec) , una ensalada casera con aceite de oliva (por fin!) una delicia. Plato a 39$ que bien lo vale. La ensalada la hemos elegido en vez de embutidos y te lo sirven primero. El servicio excelente, muy atento a nuestras necesidades. Hay parking gratuito.
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 ⭐

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.
