The smoked meat is the star for many, praised for rich flavor and generous portions, though a few notes mention occasional dryness or price concerns and some side dishes needing salt or freshness. Staff are frequently commended for attentiveness and recommendations, while a few experiences cite uneven service or maintenance issues like cold bathrooms. Overall Dunn's Famous delivers comforting, filling meals and a nostalgic Montreal dining experience that many visitors and locals return to for a dependable classic.
I'm an Asian & I really like the food here, especially this fried rice. It's very close to the taste of my hometown. I'll come back again if I have the chance. Five stars.
Classic diner vibes with solid, comforting food!
We came here for a casual meal & were pleasantly surprised by how hearty everything was. The smoked meat sandwich was super generous with thick, tender slices - juicy & full of flavor. Definitely one of the highlights!
The spaghetti with meat sauce was simple but satisfying, & the garlic bread was crispy & buttery, just the way it should be. The French onion soup was rich & cheesy, & those potato pancakes on the side were golden & crispy - great with the sour cream.
Nothing fancy, just good old-school food that hits the spot. Great place if you're in the mood for something filling & unpretentious.
Had my first smoked meat & onion soup here, it's good but just not as stunning as i imagined. (could be that i had a high expectation)
Environment & stuff are very comforting.
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.
Very good smoked meat experience. Roughly comparable to Schwartz's in terms of quality, with a fraction of the crowds. Service was quick & the servers were attentive. The sandwich was spot-on, but the fries were a bit stale.
