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.

WOW! I'm here on vacation with my friends from Toronto, & let me tell you, this is absolutely delicious. We were just in here about 10 minutes ago-the price was great, the service was amazing, the vibes were so fun, & the smoked meat sandwich 10/10. Will definitely be coming back, love this place so much

We didn't realize it was a chain til after we sat down. We had our first poutine & smoked meat sandwich here. After having three other versions at various places in Montreal that were more refined we voted that they were much better.

Even during constructions, it is not hard to find. Very good quality of meat! The day we went AC is not working, super hot in the restaurant, still good customer service.

Schwartz probably is the most famous in Montreal for smoked meat, this place is also recommended & because of all the constructions around it now on a late afternoon there's no wait. So having a petit combo per waitress recommendation 33+CAD hit 2 Montreal's specialty at once--smoked meat & poutine. They were delicious enough for me, not sure if I go to Schwartz (smoked meat) & La Banquise (Poutine) I can really tell that much difference as I'm no food connoisseur.
