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.

Meat was great, black cherry soda was the best part of the meal for me. I had the rueben & it was good. White older crowd & the waiter was fast as hell as was the food. Probs has sentimental value for longtime customers, not my vibe as tourist.

Oh my gosh, what a funky place & AMAZING smoked meat. The cole slaw is very unique yet delicious. The onion soup was filled with onions! Loved that. Even the French fries were great. Service was great.

Absolutely a must do for Montréal smoked meat. So good! Also, they will sub put fries for extra pickle or slaw if you want fewer carbs. Thanks Dunn's!
