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.

meh
The portion is too big for me. The fries are too oily & the salad / pickle are mediocre. The sandwich is ok but nothing special.

Très bon smoked meat. Le service est impeccable, l'ambiance chaleureuse. Tout est bon. Le service pourrait servir d'exemple à d'autres restaurants.

Had my first smoked meat & onion soup here, it's good but just not as stunning as i imagined. (could be that i had a high expectation)
Environment & stuff are very comforting.

Smoked meat poutine was decent. Definitely not the best I have had in Montreal. Personally think Schwartz's is better than Dunn's. Strawberry cheesecake was pretty good. The table they sat us at is not suitable for two; it is cramped & too small. Staff was nice.

Very good smoked meat experience. Roughly comparable to Schwartz's in terms of quality, with a fraction of the crowds. Service was quick & the servers were attentive. The sandwich was spot-on, but the fries were a bit stale.

Had the spicy Buffalo chicken wrap, & it was decent. Spicy mayo was not great.

I had the Reuben & it was perfect. Cheesy, meaty delight on pumpernickel bread. Coleslaw was so crunchy & don't forget the dill pickle.
