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.

Meat was great, black cherry soda was the best part of the meal for me. I had the rueben & it was good. White older crowd & the waiter was fast as hell as was the food. Probs has sentimental value for longtime customers, not my vibe as tourist.

Absolutely a must do for Montréal smoked meat. So good! Also, they will sub put fries for extra pickle or slaw if you want fewer carbs. Thanks Dunn's!

One of the best place to savoir smoked meat in Mtl. The ambiance is very original, vintage that shows why they're on for all these years. I like to absorve the beauty of the songs, the furniture, decoration, the light balls. The service is amable & fast. & the food, incomparable. Delicious!! Everything is perfect over here

We ate here twice during our trip to Montreal in April 2024 & Dunn's is consistently fantastic. REAL French fries & piled high Montreal smoked meat with mouthwatering side of fresh Cole slaw & a giant juicy pickle. Holy moly! What a delight! Our servers were excellent during both visits.
