Dunn's Famous is widely regarded as a Montreal landmark for classic smoked meat, with sandwiches that are huge, tender and flavorful, often accompanied by great poutine and crisp fries. The atmosphere blends diner charm with a lively sports bar feel, and the service is typically fast and friendly, making it a reliable late night or post game option. The smoked meat is the star for many, praised for rich flavor and generous portions, though a few notes mention occasional dryness or price concerns and some side dishes needing salt or freshness. Staff are frequently commended for attentiveness and recommendations, while a few experiences cite uneven service or maintenance issues like cold bathrooms. Overall Dunn's Famous delivers comforting, filling meals and a nostalgic Montreal dining experience that many visitors and locals return to for a dependable classic.
My office colleague who is originally from Montreal suggested me to go there during our trip to Montreal. The place was good & the food. We ordered smoked meat sandwiches & some drinks. Yes, the sandwiches were delicious & I liked it. But the fries should have more salt. I didn't enjoy fries because of that I think my other two buddies as well. If you are someone who used to add salt to your food you better ask them to add salt to their fries.
Other than that the customer service & the vibes were amazing. The prices are a bit high (40+ including one drink) but it is okay.

Had a great meal with my family! Hazam, Adil & Rebecca (hope I got the names right) & the rest of the staff was so nice. Very welcoming with genuine smiles. The food was so good & hit the spot. Their club roll was delicious! Thanks again!
I visited Montreal this past weekend & our group ate at Dunn's after our Saturday night game. The food was delicious, quickly served (hot). Our host Steve was amazing. He definitely made sure we were taken care of ...fantastic hospitalty.
Les smoked meat est bon.
Les prix sont un peu élevés.
Le service est au rendez-vous en anglais & en français.
& la salle est très sympathique.
Il faut par contre vraiment songer à rénover les toilettes qui laissent fortement à désirer 😱

Great spot when you need comfort food late, I know there are lots of arguments about best smoked meat, but on a cold night that sandwich & matzoh ball soup were exactly what the doctor ordered
Came here for dinner with my wife & we both went straight for the famous smoked meat sandwiches; best decision ever. The meat is unreal: so tender it literally melts in your mouth, with that perfect savory smoky punch & little pockets of sweet fat that make every bite heavenly. Seriously, I've never had smoked meat this good anywhere else in the city. Service was fast, friendly, & super efficient even though the place was busy. Fresh rye, great mustard, huge portions, & worth every penny. If you're craving Montreal smoked meat, this is the spot. Already counting down the days until we come back!
Dunn's is a great standard in Montreal. The smoked meat sandwich's are awesome. I often wonder why people buy anything else when they come, but then again they do have a broad menu. But do get the smoked meat sandwich & a Dunns cherry cola - it's really the standard. Bonus points - if you order anything else, it is a slower service.
Staff were friendly & very prompt with welcoming you, taking your order, attentiveness. We weren't overly hungry but wanted to try Dunn's. We split the super sized Montreal smoked meat sandwich & split the routine. It was enough for both of us & it's was delicious. I can say that this was the best coleslaw (according to my taste)I've had in Montreal & I had coleslaw at 4 different places.
I ordered the Reuben & a poutine, both were perfectly smoky & delicious! The staff were friendly & respectful, & the service was great. Highly recommend DUNN'S for anyone craving quality smoked meat.
