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.
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.
Everyone very friendly. The waiter recommended a medium fat smoke meat sammy & the cherry cola. & it did not disappoint. The sammy was big & juicy. But the cola really topped it off. Also the strawberry cheesecake was delicious!
My son & i are in montreal & we are trying all the best smoked meat sammys & this is right up there with the best of em

Portions are huge & service was great. We had a smoked meat, hot dog, chicken honey mustard salad & a grilled cheese & everyone loved their meals. Kids meals came with ice cream & chocolate sauce which was a nice touch.
This place is a gem. Best Montreal smoked meat sandwich ever. Poutin is good too. Highly recommend stopping by. Been in business since 1927 I stop here everytime im in town.

Tasty & delicious sums it up. I almost missed this spot! I originally went for a more famous place, but the long line + rain sent me to Dunn's on a hotel recommendation-& what a win. Just a 5-minute wait while they set up for my wheelchair.
The smoked meat platter was tender & full of flavor, the coleslaw was fantastic, & that warm molten chocolate chip cookie with ice cream? Next level.
I came back the next day for the carbonara-loved it-& again today for fish & chips. Consistently great food, efficient & friendly bilingual service, & always busy but never a long wait.
One week left… & I already know I'll be back a few more times 😏

Been DT Montreal for a few days & ate here 2 times in the 4 days & delicious food amazing atmosphere & the staff are a complete blast
Steve my friend really appreciates you thanks for the laughs
Very nice & cozy restaurant! We visited from Toronto & tried their classic poutine. It was very yummy, I would recommend adding more cheese curds if you're ordering! Also, the portion sizes are HUMONGOUS!! 1 plate can be shared by 2 people! Very nice atmosphere, & the servers are very nice!
