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.

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

Great smoked meat! The Dill pickle could be more robust. Poutine was very satisfying.

You can’t go wrong. One of the classic landmarks in Montreal food. Whether for a quick bite or a late night meal, Dunn’s always delivers. Don’t both with anything else but the smoked meat. Other stuff might be good, but the smoked meat is the highlight. Oh, & order a black cherry pop.

The real deal. A fantastic Deli, a smoked meat sandwich that satifies, friendly service, old-timey atmosphere. Don't let the 2023 construction mess outside deter you.

The interior might not be the most exciting, but this place certainly shines in the food department. Their poutine is a standout, easily one of the best you've had. The Montreal smoked meat is also impressive & can hold its own against renowned spots like Schwartz's. While the portion sizes for poutine might be substantial & come with a $20 price tag, it's a splurge that's worth it, especially when shared between two people. So, if you're looking for classic bar vibes & exceptional poutine, this spot seems like a great choice.
