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.

Went for dinner, visiting from Ontario. Great, fast service! Husband had the small smoked meat sandwich, it was huge! I had the vegetarian burger wrap, it was awesome! Thank you for not disappointing!

The burger was very tasty but the fries were divine. Best fries I've tasted in a long time.

It didn't disappoint, but do consider sharing a plate as servings are generous & a lot of people don't finish their meals.
