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.

One of the best locations for its food quality, it seems to be a little more expensive than your usual restaurants as a result.

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.
