This place is awesome & has a casual, home-style taste that I feel some of the more famous places are missing. Sometimes, food can be TOO polished & Dunn's brings it right back down to earth. It's not pretentious or trying to be something it's not, it tastes like it was made by someone who loves you. The meat was great but don't sleep on the fries, holy heck they were top tier. A million bonus points for the quick service. As a visitor who's here for work & only has 30 minutes, I was well fed within that time. Thank you for the delicious food, making solo dining not awkward, & being so close to the office, this is an easy'will be back'!

When in Montreal having smoked meat is a check in the box & Dunns makes it an experience. We were quickly seated. Orders taken & food delivery fast! Our server, Jenny, was awesome. Checked on us & made sure we had all the condiments to go with spectacular sandwich & delish fries. Ate every bit of food on the dish. Chatted with a regular patron beside us making it a very friendly atmosphere.

I cannot begin to tell you how good my sandwich, coleslaw, & cheesecake were. I had Dunn's for the first time only 5 days ago. & I have thought about it all of those 5 days since. For a number of reasons, I wish I lived in the area; Dunn's is one of them. It's pricey, but the taste alone makes it worth it. My only complaint (if you can call it that) is the fries were nothing special.

Definitely a must visit for some local food & the history of the place.

Had the famous smoked meat sandwich & Italian poutine. Smoked meat was juicy & soft, good light spicing, served with a tangy pickle & super tangy coleslaw which I think cut through the meatiness really nicely.

Couldn't not try their famous strawberry cheesecake made on site, a nice tangy cheesecake with great creamy & fluffy texture, strawberry adds a nice fruitiness to it, however it was lacking much of a base… if it had more of one I would've rated it outstanding!

Lovely service, attentive & polite team.

Extremely disappointing experience. We visited today as a party of two & asked to be moved to a larger table that was available. The staff refused our request, yet we noticed other parties of two being seated at large tables without any issues. The service was dismissive & indifferent throughout our meal. It felt like we were being singled out or discriminated against for unknown reasons. A very unpleasant visit with poor service standards

We hit this place late on a Friday night & it was great. The food was so good, but Steve our waiter was world class. He presented the menu with great detail & recommendations. He also had us laughing the whole time. It the last thing we did on our trip to Montreal. Thanks Steve!
