Why wait on a long line when you can just go to Dunn's for great smoked meat sandwiches & creations (smoked meat egg roll, poutine, fried rice, etc.)? Plenty of other goodies such as bagel & lox, matzo ball soup, wings, burgers, salads. Full bar & lots of seating, helpful service.

Loved the food but our waiter I think his name started with an s made me & my friends super uncomfortable, made rude remarks about black woman & since I wasn't able to eat cheese he said I ordered like'an American' had amazing experiences at other locations though just didn't have the best waiter that night

Our experience at Dunn's was God awful. The food: cold & limp, the drinks were vile & the service was pitiful. We went in on Monday at around 6:30pm & our waiter, who was bald & tall, spent more time arguing with the other waiters & front of house workers than giving us half decent service. We attempted to order cocktails & he put zero effort into those as well, my negroni was sickly sweet. The waiter was so absent that we had to flag down the bus boy to ask him to remake this undrinkable beverage. The waiter tried to resolve the issue but we did not want to wait any longer after waiting such a unreasonable amount of time for it but he insisted. The second drink was even more putrid than the first. At this point, we gave up & just wanted to leave as soon as we could. Maybe if the waiter spent the same amount of time serving clients as he did bickering with his coworker buddies, we would have had okay service. We will NOT be returning.

This is the better of the two. Much better than Schwartz. Asked for medium, got medium on a great roll, with all the trimmings. Very pleasant waitstaff & comfortable atmosphere.

We had an awesome time at Dunn's!! 10/10 food. We've long anticipated eating a Reuben from montreal & it was incredible! Anthony was also a great server. He expertly handled the rush from the concert we came from. He also recommended we get a jar of pickles instead of 2 for $1.50! A massive 2 litre jar costed $9.95 & will definitely last us until our next trip. We will for sure come back to Dunn's for all our Reuben & pickle needs.

Wow!! Enough to feed a family of 4. Portions are huge! Everything came out hot. Especially the french onion soup. It was NUCLEAR!! it was still piping hot. Ton of melted cheese. Had the smoked meat fried rice. That huge bowl could feed a family of 4 with leftovers! Wings were good. Quebec poutine was also huge! Our waiter Asam was fantastic & attentive. Well done Dunn's!!
