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.

The food, was great. Loved the size of the portions. The service was also great. Came around to always check on me was a bonus as well & showed great care. I will say however only 4 star on the atmosphere is because you can tell the floors were quite a bit run down.

First stop on our recent trip to Montreal. Smoked meat sandwich was spot on & dunns famous poutine lives up to the hype. My poutine-lovin' husband was very happy. Also great music & chill vibe. Friendly servers.

The meat had no taste & we asked for a baked potato but you can tell it was boiled. Was looking forward to smoked MTL meat, was disappointed.

It's open at 2am, the service is reliable, the smoked meat sandwiches are *chef's kiss* & its not pizza or poutine (although they'll serve you the latter if you want). It's a bit pricey for a sandwich & fries, but then what isn't these days?

J'ai pas beaucoup aimer mon expérience au dunn's famous l'ambiance n'était pas au rendez vous & les serveur était très silencieux pas beaucoup bavard j'aurais aimer qu'il prenne un peut plus le temps pour me proposer un plat mais ce n'ai pas si grave je comprend tout ta fait qu'il on d'autre client à s'occuper. Mes la nourriture était bonne un bon smoke meat avec beaucoup de viande
