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.

La pizza pour emporter était correct sans plus & un peu froide. Je trouve que le service était vraiment très décevant. Je suis venue voir un serveur pour informer que j'ai fais une commande en ligne. Il est aller vérifier, mais il n'est pas venue me parler. Il continuait à servir ses autres clients sans me regarder en m'ignorant. Il aurait pu me donner de la communication comme par exemple " monsieur ca ne sera pas long votre commande est en cours" sachant que je le regardais constamment & aussi pour montrer qu'il n'a pas oublié le client. Je trouvais cette attitude vraiment ordinaire de sa part pour son service à la clientèle. Par la suite j'étais assis & personne ne semblait prendre compte que j'étais là. Y'a un serveur qui a déposé une commande qui ressemblait a la mienne, mais n'est pas venu me voir ou même aucun serveur. Je ne sais pas à leur place un client assis sur le côté à attendre je me poserais des questions. J'ai du demander à un serveur justement. Je comprends qu'ils étaient un peu occupé, mais ca reste que je suis quand même un client qui a encouragé cette surcusale donc j'ai un peu le droit a un petit service à la clientèle malgré que c'était un service take out. J'ai travaillé 8 ans dans le service à la clientèle donc c'était vraiment plate comme service & je suis déjà venu une fois pour souper, le service était très bon à ce temps. Il y'a d'autres restaurants de pizzas & aussi de Smoke Meat sur l'ile de Montréal...

I'm glad we were able to find a place open so late, but the food was really underwhelming... they make up for it in service & atmosphere. Don't come here expecting an amazing meal, but the convenience of a late night spot with a fun vibe

Great place to dine. Pepperoni pizza was excellent. Large portions on everything. The Poutine needed fine salt on the fries before the gravy is pored on. Service was a little slow, but the young guy who eventually served us was very attentive & very friendly.

Sorry for our big group raiding the place at 4am, but it's a tradition for us to end our film festival here after the bar closes! Thanks for your patience & the prompt service:)

Delicious in just the way you expect. Very knowledgeable staff who were prompt & efficient. Not the most welcoming (a bit brusk), but given their stellar reputation for smoked meat, I imagine they don't need to be.

Great meal, meat cooked to perfection, had mine moist. Cole slaw had good consistency & taste, we got a side of gravy for frites dipping. Easy to understand why they have been open since 1927. Will return soon.

Pretty standard Smoked Meat Sandwich, definitely a good place to go if you want to have your first try of Montreal Smoked Meat. Staff is fluently bilingual & very nice. Not exactly mind-blowing but still a solid choice for lunch.

Das nenne ich mal vernünftige Portionen. Hier wird sogar der rheinhessische Innungsmeister satt.
