Review Summary

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.

It's one of those places you go to eat greasy food & drinks. Not fancy lol but chill. I like how they have hangers by your table for your coat.

Tout simplement le meilleur. C'est le goût que doit avoir la viande fumée de Montréal. Excellente ambiance & service amical.

We tried Dunn's for the first time & the service was impeccably fast. The host was patient with us as well. Although we ordered take-out, the place had a nice ambiance with lots of seating. We got poutine as well as the smoked meat sandwich. We also ordered the Dunn's famous smoked meat poutine & the smoked meat burger. The smoked meat poutine was covered in smoked meat & packed with flavour. There was a perfect ratio of cheese curds to gravy to fries as well. The smoked meat burger did not quite live up to our expectations. The burger patty itself was dry & there was only a few slices of smoked meat. On the other hand, the smoked meat sandwich was great! Highly recommend. If you're ever in Montreal, definitely hit up this spot.

Smoked Meat est très bon. Les frites sont excellentes. J'ai trouvé le burger classique ordinaire.

(English below) เนื้อรมควันอร่อยดีครับ นุ่มมาก ผมลองเป็นสปาเก็ตตี้ ซอสเนื้อรมควันแดง, ก็โอเคครับ แต่จืดไปหน่อย, ขอเกลือมาโรยใส่ด้วยช่วยได้มาก พนักงานเป็นมิตร ร้านนั่งสบาย, ผมคงจะมานั่งทานอาหารชิลๆอีกครับ The smoked meat itself was great. I had spaghetti with smoked meat red sauce. It was okay, but was very under seasoned. The server was very friendly, & the atmosphere was nice. I would visit again for a relaxing brunch.
