Across many reviews, Dunn's Famous is described as a Montreal classic known for its smoked meat sandwiches and generous portions, with fast service and a lively, historical vibe. Guests praise the tender, smoky meat, crispy fries, and supportive atmosphere, with standout items like poutine and cheesecake mentioned; the staff is often highlighted for quick, friendly service, though a few notes point to occasional crowds, long lines, and busy times, and some criticisms include inconsistent fries, leaner meat options, and older bathrooms in need of renovation. The late hours and family friendly ambiance are also noted, making it a reliable stop for locals and visitors seeking a comforting, nostalgic Montreal dining experience.
Came for some late night eats at an institution. The food was just what you're looking for, particularly the smoked meats & variety of poutine. Our server Steve seemed to be the only one working in the whole restaurant & was out there HUSTLING.
Je connais ce restaurant depuis des décennies & je le recommandais à mes amis en visite à Montréal. Je n'y étais pas retourné depuis quelque temps. Quelle déception! La qualité s'est beaucoup dégradée. Le pain, la viande, même le cornichon… tout était mauvais, plat, ordinaire. & que dire du prix! La première option est à 22$. Le sandwhich est offert en combo seulement, fini le sandwhich seul ni bien sûr l'option d'un demi-sandwhich. Pour remplacer les frites du combo par une poutine, il nous en a coûté 15 $! Au moins la poutine, elle, était décente. Le menu s'est beaucoup diversifié, le smoked meat est noyé dans toutes sortes de choses; une page entière est consacrée aux cocktails. C'est devenu un resto-bar pour les clients du Centre Bell. Seul le cadre a conservé son charme, le service étant tout juste correct. Bref, si vous cherchez un endroit pour déguster un authentique sandwhich au smoked meat, fuyez celui-ci!
Were there three days ago ( I think Dec 29) with my wife & enjoyed the famous kitchen & service! Sara is the best waitress which provided us the highest quality service!
Superbe place à smoked meat à Montréal. En plein centre-ville, mais sur une place calme & sans un décor sans prétention. Facile pour une famille de quatre avec de jeunes enfants.
My office colleague who is originally from Montreal suggested me to go there during our trip to Montreal. The place was good & the food. We ordered smoked meat sandwiches & some drinks. Yes, the sandwiches were delicious & I liked it. But the fries should have more salt. I didn't enjoy fries because of that I think my other two buddies as well. If you are someone who used to add salt to your food you better ask them to add salt to their fries.
Other than that the customer service & the vibes were amazing. The prices are a bit high (40+ including one drink) but it is okay.
Had a great meal with my family! Hazam, Adil & Rebecca (hope I got the names right) & the rest of the staff was so nice. Very welcoming with genuine smiles. The food was so good & hit the spot. Their club roll was delicious! Thanks again!

I visited Montreal this past weekend & our group ate at Dunn's after our Saturday night game. The food was delicious, quickly served (hot). Our host Steve was amazing. He definitely made sure we were taken care of ...fantastic hospitalty.
Les smoked meat est bon.
Les prix sont un peu élevés.
Le service est au rendez-vous en anglais & en français.
& la salle est très sympathique.
Il faut par contre vraiment songer à rénover les toilettes qui laissent fortement à désirer 😱
Great spot when you need comfort food late, I know there are lots of arguments about best smoked meat, but on a cold night that sandwich & matzoh ball soup were exactly what the doctor ordered
