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 diner type of restaurant. Nice ambiance & the food is good, especially the smoked meat. They weren't joking about their smoked meat. It is fresh, moist, & juicy. Good, simple food that fills up
Smoked meat just fell apart on the fork, & the strawberry cheesecake was amazing.
They can't drive in Montreal but they know their way around the kitchen.
Ça fait plusieurs années que je viens manger ici.
Le smoke meat est super bon & je prend toujours l'assiette mais depuis les 2 dernière fois la quantité a vraiment diminuer .les 2 fois j'ai montrer a la serveuse la quantité & elle était d'accord avec moi .les 2 fois il mon redonner du smoke meat pour compenser le manque.
J'aime bien venir manger ici mais je n'aime pas me plaindre du manque dans mon assiette.

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.
