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.

Food was kind of trash & we experience micro aggression while waiting for our take out order. Would definitely warn anyone of color to stay far away from this establishment though I don't think they get many patrons of color anyway. While waiting for our to go order we were approached by a portly man who said he needed our chairs & told us to get up. As the only 2 black people in the establishment at the time, me & my mother were clearly targeted & it gave MAGA vibes. Hostess was nice to us but that's about all I can say good about this place.

First visit to Montreal. Perfect spot for late night food! The burgers were absolutely delicious fresh, flavorful, & cooked just right. The drink was easily one of the best I've had since visiting different places across Canada so far. On top of that, the customer service was excellent, friendly, attentive, & made the whole experience even better. Definitely a place I'd come back to!

Smoked meat sandwich was amazing. Fries were meh - too soggy for my liking, but that's not what I was there for anyway.

The only negative was a guy working there named Tony. I was at the bar & he came up & started making inappropriate comments to a female coworker, who clearly was not appreciating it & asked him to stop multiple times. Made it really uncomfortable.

I humbly asked for a glass of hot water, but it was never brought to me. Meanwhile, my friend received his drink & was even asked whether he wanted another one. I was never asked again if I needed anything to drink. I'm not sure how to interpret this experience, but the service felt disappointing.

My husband & I enjoyed a delicious smoked meat sandwich with a poutine, & we highly recommend it! Our daughter enjoyed a Caesar salad with grilled chicken & I was surprised to notice it even had capers, very well done!!!
They serve Pepsi products, but some people like that option.
