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.

The food, was great. Loved the size of the portions. The service was also great. Came around to always check on me was a bonus as well & showed great care. I will say however only 4 star on the atmosphere is because you can tell the floors were quite a bit run down.

First stop on our recent trip to Montreal. Smoked meat sandwich was spot on & dunns famous poutine lives up to the hype. My poutine-lovin' husband was very happy. Also great music & chill vibe. Friendly servers.

The meat had no taste & we asked for a baked potato but you can tell it was boiled. Was looking forward to smoked MTL meat, was disappointed.

Good late night eats if you're in the area. It's good poutine, what else can I say.

It's open at 2am, the service is reliable, the smoked meat sandwiches are *chef's kiss* & its not pizza or poutine (although they'll serve you the latter if you want). It's a bit pricey for a sandwich & fries, but then what isn't these days?

J'ai pas beaucoup aimer mon expérience au dunn's famous l'ambiance n'était pas au rendez vous & les serveur était très silencieux pas beaucoup bavard j'aurais aimer qu'il prenne un peut plus le temps pour me proposer un plat mais ce n'ai pas si grave je comprend tout ta fait qu'il on d'autre client à s'occuper. Mes la nourriture était bonne un bon smoke meat avec beaucoup de viande

WOW! I'm here on vacation with my friends from Toronto, & let me tell you, this is absolutely delicious. We were just in here about 10 minutes ago-the price was great, the service was amazing, the vibes were so fun, & the smoked meat sandwich 10/10. Will definitely be coming back, love this place so much

We didn't realize it was a chain til after we sat down. We had our first poutine & smoked meat sandwich here. After having three other versions at various places in Montreal that were more refined we voted that they were much better.

Even during constructions, it is not hard to find. Very good quality of meat! The day we went AC is not working, super hot in the restaurant, still good customer service.

Must visit if you are in Montreal. The smoked meat platter is good to share as is the hot dog poutine.
