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 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.

Their portions are good & the staff is friendly, however if you get food to go or for takeout, you have to specify what condiments you want on the burger as they don't apply them in the kitchen, they give them as packets. The burgers on the menu were described as dressed with said condiments, & now here I am on the road with a bacon cheeseburger without sauce.. I will still eat there again, but still..
Oh que oui j'ai vraiment aimé la nourriture ma fille aussi j'apprécie l'ambiance le service vraiment courtois la dame était extrêmement souriante & gentille garantie que je vais reveni
The restaurant is very clean & has generally a relaxed atmosphere that is suitable for families with children. There is an assortment of food options that are well suited for kids & adults. The poutine & burger was delicious. The hot chicken sandwich was mediocre. We didn't have any desserts but they looked amazing. The bathrooms are very clean.
I've tried their food & it's not that great. Smoked meat isn't that great & the fries are not good at all. The only thing I love about Dunns is those cakes & pickled jars. Love the cakes & hopefully we can get some more flavors.
