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.
Dunn's Famous poutine was delicious! Can taste their smoked meat, which was very good. The fries were a bit crispy even down to the bottom of the bowl. Curds were mostly melted so no squeaking, but I prefer melted. Chill place with attentive servers.
I was in Montreal for work last winter & I found myself pulling a late night & needing a nourishing dinner after 10pm. Upon seeing that Dunn's was still open, I decided to take advantage of the opportunity to try a different smoked meat joint, & I was very much satisfied! I got the smoked meat sandwich combo with fries & coleslaw & it was delicious. Savory, filling, & reasonably priced. While I'd say my favorite smoked meat sandwich in Montreal is still Schwartz's, I would gladly return to Dunn's too.
My family & I like their poutine & other family friendly dishes like spaghetti & yummy desserts. First time here while visiting Montreal. Don't know if their poutine is better than La Banquise but thought their big bowl of poutine was delicious.

I hate to leave anything less than a stellar review for a legacy institution like Dunn's...but it was okay. Don't think I'd recommend the smoked meet egg rolls which were more like pizza pockets. The poutine was pretty good but think for the next try I'd keep it traditional. Quite a few interesting poutine varieties. I'd certainly give it another try with different choices for the next visit.
