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.
Mexicana Poutine was so delicious, not soo heavy either. Also tried the Dunn's Famous Poutine, was a great portion of meat toppings. Definitely worth visiting!
Old school smoked meat with fries, pickles, & cole slaw. Diner deli style restaurant. The food was yummy, but we were shocked how much the price went up for a simple lunch, no dessert, but thanks.

You simply must come for their coleslaw & pickles. Everything else was amazing, but those two were simply iconic! Ask them to sell you coleslaw to take home with you. You won't regret! Service 5 stars also.
First time to try Dunn's & I had Supper Special with Pout Dunns Upgrade! It was very good & tasty sandwich - not big enough if you are hungry, the Poutine was huge & too loaded for me (not a big fan)! Not a cheap meal > 40 Service was amazing! I would come back to try other stuff for sure!

I'm afraid that the serving of smoked meat has been hit by inflation...or deflation of amount served. The smoked meat was also fatter than I would have liked. The atmosphere was still there however with all the tables full
From tender brisket to savory poutines, every bite is packed with goodness! The dinner ambiance adds to the experience, making it a must-visit!Don't miss out on their poutine & friendly service.

Pleasant dining area with nice red booths. Great service, waiter friendly & attentive. Huge, excellent Club Sandwich. Regular smoked meat platter comes with lots of fries, creamy coleslaw & a crunchy half pickle. Unfortunately the smoked meat sandwich, ordered medium was a little dry. But this was an exception, I will go back. No room for dessert :( The cakes look amazing!
Bring your appetite. You will need it. I make a trip to Dunn's anytime I make it to Montreal. Priced fairly well for what you get. Always enjoy my meal here.
