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.

Dunn's smoked meat was the best we had in all of Montréal. We tried all of the big spots & while they were all great (really good stuff), Dunn's had the best balance of flavor, juiciness, & tenderness. The restaurant itself has a cool old school feel to it. The menu has a ton of variety as well. We had the giant smoked meat sandwich & regular poutine & it was all awesome. Food came out super fast, service was great!

Had some food after the last KISS concert. Great end to a great final concert. Smoked meat is always welcomed late at night.

Ordered the Rueben & upgraded the fries to poutine. The corned beef was so delicious. Poutine was also good. The coleslaw was very tasty & loved that it didn't have mayo in it.

Classic Montreal smoked meat. Consistently a good choice anytime of day! Open 24 hours, with good service & yummy pickles on the side!

Went there 10pm. Sandwich was good with tiny slice of dill pickle. Fries seemed old & refried. Over priced for the very basic quality.
