Review Summary

Dunn's Famous is widely regarded as a staple of Montreal dining, celebrated for its legendary smoked meat sandwiches and extensive menu of comfort foods like poutine and cheesecake. While opinions on the meat's fattiness and the quality of sides vary, many patrons appreciate the generous portions, long operating hours, and the nostalgic, lively atmosphere that defines the restaurant. Although service consistency remains a topic of debate, with some guests praising the friendly and efficient staff while others report lapses in attention, the establishment remains a popular destination for both locals and tourists seeking an authentic, no-nonsense culinary experience.

Everyone very friendly. The waiter recommended a medium fat smoke meat sammy & the cherry cola. & it did not disappoint. The sammy was big & juicy. But the cola really topped it off. Also the strawberry cheesecake was delicious!

Portions are huge & service was great. We had a smoked meat, hot dog, chicken honey mustard salad & a grilled cheese & everyone loved their meals. Kids meals came with ice cream & chocolate sauce which was a nice touch.
