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 here for dinner with my wife & we both went straight for the famous smoked meat sandwiches; best decision ever. The meat is unreal: so tender it literally melts in your mouth, with that perfect savory smoky punch & little pockets of sweet fat that make every bite heavenly. Seriously, I've never had smoked meat this good anywhere else in the city. Service was fast, friendly, & super efficient even though the place was busy. Fresh rye, great mustard, huge portions, & worth every penny. If you're craving Montreal smoked meat, this is the spot. Already counting down the days until we come back!
Dunn's is a great standard in Montreal. The smoked meat sandwich's are awesome. I often wonder why people buy anything else when they come, but then again they do have a broad menu. But do get the smoked meat sandwich & a Dunns cherry cola - it's really the standard. Bonus points - if you order anything else, it is a slower service.

Staff were friendly & very prompt with welcoming you, taking your order, attentiveness. We weren't overly hungry but wanted to try Dunn's. We split the super sized Montreal smoked meat sandwich & split the routine. It was enough for both of us & it's was delicious. I can say that this was the best coleslaw (according to my taste)I've had in Montreal & I had coleslaw at 4 different places.
I ordered the Reuben & a poutine, both were perfectly smoky & delicious! The staff were friendly & respectful, & the service was great. Highly recommend DUNN'S for anyone craving quality smoked meat.
Bon le service était pas tres ouf 30 min pour recevoir mon addition & un serveur qui me fixe pendant tout mon repas,heureusement sa collègue a eu une attitude impeccable.
La nourriture & plutôt ok, mais le gravy est clairement pas fait maison. & la smoke meat & sèche.
This is an OK spot for an iconic montreal meal. Huge portions at a fairly high price. If you plan on splitting a meal (it would still be too much food) it is the perfect spot to do so.
While looking for a place to pass the time & have a beer whilst the wife was shopping, I stumbled in here. She wound up meeting me & we later had dinner. It was great!
