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 service & the smoked meat sandwich was just as good as I remembered. I brought my own gluten free bread to use & they had no problem with that. Our young lady who served us could not have been nicer.

Always love coming to Dunn's. Poutine never disappoints & I love getting the latkes. Service is always great. Our waitress (forgot her name unfortunately) was very pleasant & always checked to make sure we were good. Atmosphere is always enjoyable. Not too busy & the overall restaurant just feels very nostalgic. Always a must visit whenever i'm in Montreal.

A great restaurant I've been here many times but here is my opinion. 01 Nov, 2024 around 5:40PM. Pros: A) The restaurant is decked out with many memorabilia. B) It feels nice & homey. C) The food is really good love their smoked meat & Reubens sandwiches. D) Surprisingly the prices are okay even though it's a little bit pricey but the taste is okay & delicious. E) Easily accessible by Metro & near Eaton Centre & other shops. Location is good. F) Washrooms is clean though they should maintain it more. Cons: A) Parking is difficult on streets so you need to find alternative parking. B) Our waiter is good but I can tell she's having a little difficulty with English. They need more bilingual & more outgoing waiters. C) The restaurant needs to be better maintained & just have better service but the service that night was okay they need to be better positively. Conclusion: Love the restaurant & I would recommend this place for simple delicious food God Bless the people who keep it going.

Good place for a bite but in my opinion there are better smoked meat places in town. Dunn's meat just ain't as juicy & tasty.

The smoked meat is definitely amazing & testy! Not really into the soft French fries, but you may like it. Easy, convenient & great option just around the corner.

Awesome food. We shared the open sandwich as they do serve large plates 🍽 but of course you could take home leftovers. The smoked meat was absolutely incredible.

Tremendously good smoked meat sandwich, rivals or beats any pastrami on rye you have ever had. Good poutine as well.
