Across many reviews, Dunn's Famous is described as a Montreal classic known for its smoked meat sandwiches and generous portions, with fast service and a lively, historical vibe. Guests praise the tender, smoky meat, crispy fries, and supportive atmosphere, with standout items like poutine and cheesecake mentioned; the staff is often highlighted for quick, friendly service, though a few notes point to occasional crowds, long lines, and busy times, and some criticisms include inconsistent fries, leaner meat options, and older bathrooms in need of renovation. The late hours and family friendly ambiance are also noted, making it a reliable stop for locals and visitors seeking a comforting, nostalgic Montreal dining experience.
Came for some late night eats at an institution. The food was just what you're looking for, particularly the smoked meats & variety of poutine. Our server Steve seemed to be the only one working in the whole restaurant & was out there HUSTLING.
Je connais ce restaurant depuis des décennies & je le recommandais à mes amis en visite à Montréal. Je n'y étais pas retourné depuis quelque temps. Quelle déception! La qualité s'est beaucoup dégradée. Le pain, la viande, même le cornichon… tout était mauvais, plat, ordinaire. & que dire du prix! La première option est à 22$. Le sandwhich est offert en combo seulement, fini le sandwhich seul ni bien sûr l'option d'un demi-sandwhich. Pour remplacer les frites du combo par une poutine, il nous en a coûté 15 $! Au moins la poutine, elle, était décente. Le menu s'est beaucoup diversifié, le smoked meat est noyé dans toutes sortes de choses; une page entière est consacrée aux cocktails. C'est devenu un resto-bar pour les clients du Centre Bell. Seul le cadre a conservé son charme, le service étant tout juste correct. Bref, si vous cherchez un endroit pour déguster un authentique sandwhich au smoked meat, fuyez celui-ci!

I ordered the Reuben & a poutine, both were perfectly smoky & delicious! The staff were friendly & respectful, & the service was great. Highly recommend DUNN'S for anyone craving quality smoked meat.
If you don't know, you need to. Amazing Poutine! Some of Montreal's finest. If you haven't tried you need to. Make sure you get the smoked meat on top if you're not vegetarian.
Finally decided to give it a try & ordered the Dunn's famous poutine. Food is not bad, they open pretty late & the location is great. But the service is pretty none existent. After sitting down for 10 mins couldn't figure out who's our waiter/waitress & had to ask the host. Overall good as drunk food.
Tried the poutine here & it was absolutely amazing! The fries were crispy, the cheese curds were fresh & squeaky, & the gravy was rich & full of flavor. A true Canadian classic done perfectly! Highly recommend if you're craving comfort food.

This place closes after midnight. We got to our hotel around 11pm, this was one of few options we had. & I'm glad we went there. Their smoked meat is hands-down one of the bests. We shared a smoked club sandwich, asked to upgrade our fries with normal poutine, Louisiana soup & french onion soup. Everything was delicious. Their smoked meat & french onion were amazing. I didn't care for it. I don't was it, but I have to mention that I never had it before, so I can't be a good judge of poutine.
Smoked meat poutine was decent. Definitely not the best I have had in Montreal. Personally think Schwartz's is better than Dunn's. Strawberry cheesecake was pretty good. The table they sat us at is not suitable for two; it is cramped & too small. Staff was nice.

The only thing is the sitting places are bit tight.
We got a poutine general thao, smoked meat plate & onion soup it was very good.
