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 service & the smoked meat sandwich was just as good as I remembered. I brought my own gluten free bread to use & they had no problem with that. Our young lady who served us could not have been nicer.

Always love coming to Dunn's. Poutine never disappoints & I love getting the latkes. Service is always great. Our waitress (forgot her name unfortunately) was very pleasant & always checked to make sure we were good. Atmosphere is always enjoyable. Not too busy & the overall restaurant just feels very nostalgic. Always a must visit whenever i'm in Montreal.

A great restaurant I've been here many times but here is my opinion. 01 Nov, 2024 around 5:40PM. Pros: A) The restaurant is decked out with many memorabilia. B) It feels nice & homey. C) The food is really good love their smoked meat & Reubens sandwiches. D) Surprisingly the prices are okay even though it's a little bit pricey but the taste is okay & delicious. E) Easily accessible by Metro & near Eaton Centre & other shops. Location is good. F) Washrooms is clean though they should maintain it more. Cons: A) Parking is difficult on streets so you need to find alternative parking. B) Our waiter is good but I can tell she's having a little difficulty with English. They need more bilingual & more outgoing waiters. C) The restaurant needs to be better maintained & just have better service but the service that night was okay they need to be better positively. Conclusion: Love the restaurant & I would recommend this place for simple delicious food God Bless the people who keep it going.

The smoked meat is definitely amazing & testy! Not really into the soft French fries, but you may like it. Easy, convenient & great option just around the corner.
