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.

We were looking for the Montreal smoked meat experience while downtown & we found Dunn’s. Saturday evening & the place was hopping. We were a group of four but the wait was no more than 10 minutes.
Had to try the Dunn’s Famous poutine & added sautéed mushrooms & onions. Did not disappoint, the meal was excellent & our server was super friendly!

I haven't been to Dunn's in over 40 years, but on a trip back to Montreal last week I took my husband. The food & service were as excellent as I remembered! Delicious!

First time we try it , we took onion rings as appetizer (very good but no sauce). Then my wife took the famous reuban (Smoked meat , swiss cheese & saurkraut)was a bit better than the burger i had & i took the Classic Cheeseburger (the meat was not good sadly) the fries were just ok. The Service was very good - we got napkins fast without asking.

Dunn's est le style de restaurant où je vais y manger le soir/nuit à la sortie des bars ou d'une fête. La poutine Dunn's (au smoked meats) est ma préférée de loin. Nous la prenons à deux puisqu'elle est très grosse. J'aime vraiment leur viande. & les smoked meats sont toujours bons. Le service est correct (ils sont très souvent débordés le soir). À essayer!

Pas mauvais du tout, les burgers sont bien bons. Les pelures de pétates aussi en entrée sont délicieuses. Attention si vous demandez des oignons pour votre burger, c'est un extra d'environ 1,75$! Pas trop cher mais attention au prix des extras, demandez avant de commander. J'aime l'endroit, le décor.
