Tasty & delicious sums it up. I almost missed this spot! I originally went for a more famous place, but the long line + rain sent me to Dunn's on a hotel recommendation-& what a win. Just a 5-minute wait while they set up for my wheelchair.

The smoked meat platter was tender & full of flavor, the coleslaw was fantastic, & that warm molten chocolate chip cookie with ice cream? Next level.

I came back the next day for the carbonara-loved it-& again today for fish & chips. Consistently great food, efficient & friendly bilingual service, & always busy but never a long wait.

One week left… & I already know I'll be back a few more times 😏

Very nice & cozy restaurant! We visited from Toronto & tried their classic poutine. It was very yummy, I would recommend adding more cheese curds if you're ordering! Also, the portion sizes are HUMONGOUS!! 1 plate can be shared by 2 people! Very nice atmosphere, & the servers are very nice!

I always have a good experience at Dunn's Famous & this visit was no different. I got a salad & it was actually so delicious. What really stood out though was our server - I unfortunately forget his name, but he was working overnight & had tattoos.

I told him I have a gluten intolerance & he was super reassuring & made me feel really comfortable ordering. He went above & beyond for our table, gave great recommendations for the smoked meat sandwiches, & handled everything so well even while dealing with some difficult customers. Amazing service honestly. He definitely deserves recognition. Will 100% be back.
