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.

Must stop when in Montreal. Try the smoked meat. They even offer if you would like the drier ends or the fattier middle of the brisket. It rivals any great New York deli.

The ambiance was classic for a taste of Montreal smoke meat sandwich's & poutine. The two of us shared the Super Combo Smoked meat sandwich & replaced our fries with Quebecoise poutine (+$7). It was the perfect amount of food. The coleslaw had a great zing that cut through the richness of the sandwich & poutine. Not super busy with friendly & fast service. Price was very reasonable & not overpriced. A definite must visit.

Tasteless meat. Tasteless rubber-like cheese, with very salty gravy on soften french fry. What kind of cuisine is this? Very loud music. Pushy waiter (who can't wait for his 15% tips?). He announced that he decided for us all to have the meat medium type. What kind of service was that? Can you really relax & enjoy the food? You actually paid for the brand, or its history? It's just an outdated fast food shop, cheap but you pay expensively. It doesn't live up to its reputation. Just sort the reviews on Google, & you'll see.

The Reubens sandwich is incredible. Highly recommend. It was more on the pricey side.

The burger was very tasty but the fries were divine. Best fries I've tasted in a long time.

It didn't disappoint, but do consider sharing a plate as servings are generous & a lot of people don't finish their meals.
