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.

Visited fairly late at night on 8/22. Sat promptly then seemingly forgotten about for 10mins or so. It was pretty busy so I won't get too worked up. Gentleman came to take order, nice guy. I need to preface this next part with, I HATE pickles. Not, "oh darn there's a pickle on that, I'll just take it off", more "oh there's a pickle on that, never eating as it is infected, & I should burn the building down to be safe". I communicate that in a way to every server so they get it. My brother also piled on reminding our server I didn't want a pickle on the coleslaw. So, the coleslaw showed up with a pickle.... so not eating that. Yes I could have tried returning, but I didn't pay enough attention in French class & it's coleslaw right? Why make a big deal when I can do it later online.... Sandwich was... good? I mean it was yummy but not crazy. The poutine... The fries & cheese were fine, but go easy on the thyme or rosemary in the gravy. Edible but not memorable. Oh.. & the reason for 3 stars instead of 4? that meal plus a pop was $43.82 with tip. Not worth it... at all.

La pizza pour emporter était correct sans plus & un peu froide. Je trouve que le service était vraiment très décevant. Je suis venue voir un serveur pour informer que j'ai fais une commande en ligne. Il est aller vérifier, mais il n'est pas venue me parler. Il continuait à servir ses autres clients sans me regarder en m'ignorant. Il aurait pu me donner de la communication comme par exemple " monsieur ca ne sera pas long votre commande est en cours" sachant que je le regardais constamment & aussi pour montrer qu'il n'a pas oublié le client. Je trouvais cette attitude vraiment ordinaire de sa part pour son service à la clientèle. Par la suite j'étais assis & personne ne semblait prendre compte que j'étais là. Y'a un serveur qui a déposé une commande qui ressemblait a la mienne, mais n'est pas venu me voir ou même aucun serveur. Je ne sais pas à leur place un client assis sur le côté à attendre je me poserais des questions. J'ai du demander à un serveur justement. Je comprends qu'ils étaient un peu occupé, mais ca reste que je suis quand même un client qui a encouragé cette surcusale donc j'ai un peu le droit a un petit service à la clientèle malgré que c'était un service take out. J'ai travaillé 8 ans dans le service à la clientèle donc c'était vraiment plate comme service & je suis déjà venu une fois pour souper, le service était très bon à ce temps. Il y'a d'autres restaurants de pizzas & aussi de Smoke Meat sur l'ile de Montréal...
