Review Summary

Dunn's Famous is widely regarded as a staple of Montreal dining, celebrated for its legendary smoked meat sandwiches and extensive menu of comfort foods like poutine and cheesecake. While opinions on the meat's fattiness and the quality of sides vary, many patrons appreciate the generous portions, long operating hours, and the nostalgic, lively atmosphere that defines the restaurant. Although service consistency remains a topic of debate, with some guests praising the friendly and efficient staff while others report lapses in attention, the establishment remains a popular destination for both locals and tourists seeking an authentic, no-nonsense culinary experience.

Great spot for some smoked meat sandwiches, might be a little biased since my last name is Dunn:) No long waits like schwartze's is really nice.

Delicious! I like how the orders come with sides. It's amazing how a'side of gravy' translates into a bowl of gravy!

Great food, we had the Combo Special. Tasty & huge-we shared.
Reminded me a lot of typical Jewish delis in Cleveland & NYC.
We also had the strawberry cheesecake - out of sight delicious.
The beers- semi great selection, but they are reliable ones.

Very average experience. I honestly was expecting more from this spot, being so historic. They took several minutes to take our order. Food came pretty fast though.

I'm an Asian & I really like the food here, especially this fried rice. It's very close to the taste of my hometown. I'll come back again if I have the chance. Five stars.
