Had Montreal smoked meat club sandwich to die for. Greek salad was fresh & the dressing was awesome. Potato crepes were crisp snd tasty. The coffee tasted really good. The server was attentive & friendly & the food came very quickly although the place was quite busy. It's a perfect 10 all around.

This place is awesome & has a casual, home-style taste that I feel some of the more famous places are missing. Sometimes, food can be TOO polished & Dunn's brings it right back down to earth. It's not pretentious or trying to be something it's not, it tastes like it was made by someone who loves you. The meat was great but don't sleep on the fries, holy heck they were top tier. A million bonus points for the quick service. As a visitor who's here for work & only has 30 minutes, I was well fed within that time. Thank you for the delicious food, making solo dining not awkward, & being so close to the office, this is an easy'will be back'!

When in Montreal having smoked meat is a check in the box & Dunns makes it an experience. We were quickly seated. Orders taken & food delivery fast! Our server, Jenny, was awesome. Checked on us & made sure we had all the condiments to go with spectacular sandwich & delish fries. Ate every bit of food on the dish. Chatted with a regular patron beside us making it a very friendly atmosphere.

I would have took a photo but I ate it so quick, had the Reuben & fries, unreal & really filling. Super good snack spot I wish I had more time to try the other items.

Steve was my server & he's a beauty. Would recommend!

Went for lunch the other day, specifically to get smoked meat sandwiches. We wanted to see how Dunn's stacks up against some of the other Montreal smoked meat heavyweights.

I got the'medium' fat & it was delicious. The meat was super tender, juicy, & had great flavor. We were at another place recently, starts with an'S' & in my opinion, this sandwich at Dunn's is slightly better.

Service was great, & our food arrived quickly. The fact that you can get a beer here is a big plus, too!

Bathrooms are freezing cold, as is the water from the sink - like ice! Parking is not easy in the area but you might get lucky on the street.

Excellent smoked meat, good value.

Classic Montreal smoked meat as you'd expect. Tasted good. One of the top smoked meat places in the city. Quick service, our group of 12 were out before 1pm on a weekday.

Small issue with their own black cherry coke. Tasted watered down, despite the high sugar. Keep working that recipe.
