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.

We were looking for the Montreal smoked meat experience while downtown & we found Dunn’s. Saturday evening & the place was hopping. We were a group of four but the wait was no more than 10 minutes.
Had to try the Dunn’s Famous poutine & added sautéed mushrooms & onions. Did not disappoint, the meal was excellent & our server was super friendly!

I haven't been to Dunn's in over 40 years, but on a trip back to Montreal last week I took my husband. The food & service were as excellent as I remembered! Delicious!

First time we try it , we took onion rings as appetizer (very good but no sauce). Then my wife took the famous reuban (Smoked meat , swiss cheese & saurkraut)was a bit better than the burger i had & i took the Classic Cheeseburger (the meat was not good sadly) the fries were just ok. The Service was very good - we got napkins fast without asking.

Dunn's est le style de restaurant où je vais y manger le soir/nuit à la sortie des bars ou d'une fête. La poutine Dunn's (au smoked meats) est ma préférée de loin. Nous la prenons à deux puisqu'elle est très grosse. J'aime vraiment leur viande. & les smoked meats sont toujours bons. Le service est correct (ils sont très souvent débordés le soir). À essayer!

Pas mauvais du tout, les burgers sont bien bons. Les pelures de pétates aussi en entrée sont délicieuses. Attention si vous demandez des oignons pour votre burger, c'est un extra d'environ 1,75$! Pas trop cher mais attention au prix des extras, demandez avant de commander. J'aime l'endroit, le décor.
