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.
Visited fairly late at night on 8/22. Sat promptly then seemingly forgotten about for 10mins or so. It was pretty busy so I won't get too worked up. Gentleman came to take order, nice guy. I need to preface this next part with, I HATE pickles. Not, "oh darn there's a pickle on that, I'll just take it off", more "oh there's a pickle on that, never eating as it is infected, & I should burn the building down to be safe". I communicate that in a way to every server so they get it. My brother also piled on reminding our server I didn't want a pickle on the coleslaw. So, the coleslaw showed up with a pickle.... so not eating that. Yes I could have tried returning, but I didn't pay enough attention in French class & it's coleslaw right? Why make a big deal when I can do it later online.... Sandwich was... good? I mean it was yummy but not crazy. The poutine... The fries & cheese were fine, but go easy on the thyme or rosemary in the gravy. Edible but not memorable. Oh.. & the reason for 3 stars instead of 4? that meal plus a pop was $43.82 with tip. Not worth it... at all.

Fun little spot, we ordered our food to go. Not bad, wife loved her burger however my pountine was turkey & not chicken. Still I thought the pountine was on point. Thanks for the memories.
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.
