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.

Had some food after the last KISS concert. Great end to a great final concert. Smoked meat is always welcomed late at night.

Ordered the Rueben & upgraded the fries to poutine. The corned beef was so delicious. Poutine was also good. The coleslaw was very tasty & loved that it didn't have mayo in it.

Went there 10pm. Sandwich was good with tiny slice of dill pickle. Fries seemed old & refried. Over priced for the very basic quality.
