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.

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.

Got smoked meat platter & swapped out fries with smoked meat poutine. Great late night dinner after a long day of travel. Smoked meat was great & staff was friendly.

We discovered this wonderful place while wandering around in the sleet & rain on our second night visiting Montreal. & we are so happy we did. From the enormous --- & I do mean enormous --- smoked meat sandwiches & mile-high fries, to the better-than-my-own cheesecake & bottomless cup of fresh-brewed coffee, the only thing that made it even better was the unbelievably friendly & efficient service by our charming server, Priscilla. We look forward to returning here every time we make the 480-mile trek from Philadelphia. We've found our "go-to" spot in Montreal.

The smoked meat poutine is all you need to know about. Delicious!

I'd say that it's a pretty standard poutine restaurant. It was greasy but kinda what you'd expect for your guilty pleasure type of food for late nights. The poutine was better than their smoked meat sandwich though.
