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.
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
I ordered a smoked meat bagel & my friends got the smoked meat poutine, hot chicken sandwich & smoked meat sandwich. It was very good & large portions. Good value
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.
I am not too impressed with the Dunn's on Decarie & the one in Laval, but this Dunn's on Metcalfe (which is the original one) continues to be really top (superb smoked meat, superb service, superb ambience). I was there again last night & it keep shining on all fronts (the service was again great & efficient, the ambience too, the "petit combo" sandwich dazzled, etc.
A visit to Montreal isn't complete without eating at a smoked meat restaurant. Dunn's is one of the originals, dating back to 1927. Their slow-cooked brisket is delicious: well-flavoured with an almost crumbly texture. Perfect. We had their smaller option, as this was lunch. Perfect size & perfectly delicious. We are moving on from Montreal tomorrow, so a visit to Dunn's was the ideal lunch to finish our visit here. I chose: - Le Petit Combo: our small sandwich served on rye bread with homemade fries, coleslaw & dill
