Review Summary

Across many reviews, Dunn's Famous is described as a Montreal classic known for its smoked meat sandwiches and generous portions, with fast service and a lively, historical vibe. Guests praise the tender, smoky meat, crispy fries, and supportive atmosphere, with standout items like poutine and cheesecake mentioned; the staff is often highlighted for quick, friendly service, though a few notes point to occasional crowds, long lines, and busy times, and some criticisms include inconsistent fries, leaner meat options, and older bathrooms in need of renovation. The late hours and family friendly ambiance are also noted, making it a reliable stop for locals and visitors seeking a comforting, nostalgic Montreal dining experience.

Great food, we had the Combo Special. Tasty & huge-we shared.
Reminded me a lot of typical Jewish delis in Cleveland & NYC.
We also had the strawberry cheesecake - out of sight delicious.
The beers- semi great selection, but they are reliable ones.

Very average experience. I honestly was expecting more from this spot, being so historic. They took several minutes to take our order. Food came pretty fast though.

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.

Luke Skywalker working here serves the best smoked meat sandwich. I took the small combo, as good as 10 years ago

Alors qu'on nous sert un peu partout du jambon déguisé en smoked meat, Dunn's continue la tradition d'offrir la vraie affaire. Très bon bravo.

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.

The portion is too big for me. The fries are too oily & the salad / pickle are mediocre. The sandwich is ok but nothing special.
