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.

Great old school cafe atmosphere. They even have cherry cola tall boys. The smoked meat was juicy & oh so tender. The poutine was smoking hot & the curds melted into delicious gravy. There wasn't much of a line up & it moved pretty fast. Definitely worth a try if you are in the area.

There is a waiter at this location that truly makes the service wonderful, his name is Steve, find Steve! Amazing with kids, knows his menu inside & out, knows his town, attractions & is truly the first resemblance I've seen to top notch customer service in years!

Food, at a smoke house I went with the Reuben, it's loaded with smoked meats on rye bread with the fixings, simple but exactly what you expected & fills my bottomless pit just as expected.
I partnered the Reuben with the Dunns poutine & a beer.

Dessert,
The in house strawberry cheese cake was rich, but nice for the sweet tooth as I don't always eat much sweets. Finished the whole piece with the wife & wasn't left feeling over done.

Steve if you read this, you're solid, keep being you buddy.
(Everlee says she will beat you in an arm wrestle in a little while!)

Note:
For those staffing the kitchen, the food was prompt, tasty, hot & delicious! The back bone to any good dining,
Together your establishment is one I will continue to visit & spread to word about.

Needed to grab a late night dinner after catching the Habs game & was happy to see Dunn's is open super late. I got the Super Combo Smoked Meat for takeout & it was a massive portion size for only about $30 after tax.

The food tasted great. I'd say this was probably my second favourite smoked meat meal during my stay in Montreal. The meat was a little too lean for my liking, would have probably preferred it to be a little bit more fatty (kind of felt more like a pastrami sandwich). But the portion size was huge, flavours were great, & value for money pretty good. The coleslaw in particular was delicious. Will definitely come back the next time I'm in Montreal!
