Review Summary

Dunn's Famous is widely regarded as a Montreal landmark for classic smoked meat, with sandwiches that are huge, tender and flavorful, often accompanied by great poutine and crisp fries. The atmosphere blends diner charm with a lively sports bar feel, and the service is typically fast and friendly, making it a reliable late night or post game option. 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.

Had the spicy Buffalo chicken wrap, & it was decent. Spicy mayo was not great.

I had the Reuben & it was perfect. Cheesy, meaty delight on pumpernickel bread. Coleslaw was so crunchy & don't forget the dill pickle.

French onion soup wasn't impressive, but the smoked meat was great. The meat platter had a lot of fries & some bread, I would have preferred less fries & more coleslaw.

Dunn's is Dunn's , historic & legendary . I was surprised the corned beef meat on the sandwich was very dry, so much so, I had to spread the mustard on heavily. I've had the sandwich before, many times, & never had this experience. Overall, a good feed at an iconic Montreal eatery....I'll go again for sure!!

Outstanding smoked meat sandwich 👌 I personally recommend getting it medium (vs lean) as the meat will just melt in your mouth 🤤 also, I didn't get the combo as an 8 oz sandwich is more than enough for everyday adults 😉 highly recommend to anyone looking for the real deal!

While we were in Montreal we had to check out Dunn's. The food was good but it didn't stand out. Still fun though while in town.

Le petit combo- The smoked meat was delicious. It stands out in a city with other great options. It was the umami flavor you'd expect but tender.

This smaller portion was pefect for me. If you come hungry you won't be disappointed.
