Review Summary

Dunn's Famous is widely regarded as a staple of Montreal dining, celebrated for its legendary smoked meat sandwiches and extensive menu of comfort foods like poutine and cheesecake. While opinions on the meat's fattiness and the quality of sides vary, many patrons appreciate the generous portions, long operating hours, and the nostalgic, lively atmosphere that defines the restaurant. Although service consistency remains a topic of debate, with some guests praising the friendly and efficient staff while others report lapses in attention, the establishment remains a popular destination for both locals and tourists seeking an authentic, no-nonsense culinary experience.

Came here for dinner with my wife & we both went straight for the famous smoked meat sandwiches; best decision ever. The meat is unreal: so tender it literally melts in your mouth, with that perfect savory smoky punch & little pockets of sweet fat that make every bite heavenly. Seriously, I've never had smoked meat this good anywhere else in the city. Service was fast, friendly, & super efficient even though the place was busy. Fresh rye, great mustard, huge portions, & worth every penny. If you're craving Montreal smoked meat, this is the spot. Already counting down the days until we come back!

Dunn's is a great standard in Montreal. The smoked meat sandwich's are awesome. I often wonder why people buy anything else when they come, but then again they do have a broad menu. But do get the smoked meat sandwich & a Dunns cherry cola - it's really the standard. Bonus points - if you order anything else, it is a slower service.

Staff were friendly & very prompt with welcoming you, taking your order, attentiveness. We weren't overly hungry but wanted to try Dunn's. We split the super sized Montreal smoked meat sandwich & split the routine. It was enough for both of us & it's was delicious. I can say that this was the best coleslaw (according to my taste)I've had in Montreal & I had coleslaw at 4 different places.
