Been here many times, & after my last experience I don't think I would come back. The food is great but the service was next to nothing. We had got three waters that were all warm & when asked if we could get a cold water only two came back to the table & the server seemed to scurry off fast. When I had come back from the bathroom I had my bill waiting for me with the severer also waiting with a debit machine. She had not asked me if I was done & just assumed to give us the bills. When I said thank you I got nothing back but silence. I tipped out of respect but don't quite feel that was deserved. Sucks, because like I said I did enjoy the food the past few times.

We love you Dunn's!!!!

The smoked meat sandwich was to die for. So flavorful & hefty. We got it medium (a little bit of fat) & it was superb. It was not overly fatty & was melt in your mouth. The fries, coleslaw & pickle were equally as great.

you MUST try their black cherry cola. It is absolutely heavenly!!!!!

Was in Montreal from Winnipeg, heard Dunn's was the place to go for sandwiches & poutine. They did not disappoint. Our waiter was super helpful & made a suggestion that was bang on to what I wanted. Thanks Dunn's & I'll be back.

Probably some of the best service & food I ever had. Waiters are very social & make sure you are well taken care of.

Very fair price for the amount of food you get. Other places need to take notes!

Came from PEI & this place alone makes me want to go back to Montreal.
