Dunn's Famous

Went for lunch the other day, specifically to get smoked meat sandwiches. We wanted to see how Dunn's stacks up against some of the other Montreal smoked meat heavyweights.

I got the'medium' fat & it was delicious. The meat was super tender, juicy, & had great flavor. We were at another place recently, starts with an'S' & in my opinion, this sandwich at Dunn's is slightly better.

Service was great, & our food arrived quickly. The fact that you can get a beer here is a big plus, too!

Bathrooms are freezing cold, as is the water from the sink - like ice! Parking is not easy in the area but you might get lucky on the street.

Excellent smoked meat, good value.

This or Schwartz's? Followed the recommendation of a native of Montreal & tried Dunns. The smoked meat is delicious, just the right amount of tender, fat, & seasoning. The bread can't handle the meat but who cares! Lots of mustard, coleslaw & a dill pickle makes this an unforgettable lunch. & of course the poutine was Devine! Strongly recommend. No nonsense service & a staple of Montreal's food culture.

My friend & I went out looking for a place that makes grilled cheese sandwiches, as I'd been craving them for months. However, when we got to Dunn's, we realized we'd gotten mixed up with another place from the photos online. By then we were already seated, so I didn't expect much, but I asked anyway if they could make it. Without missing a beat, they said'sure!!' & made it for me. I was so happy I almost cried. The staff's flexibility, friendliness, & easygoing attitude immediately set the tone for our visit. The restaurant's vibe is a perfect mix of 50s diner meets western sports bar, & we were there for it. The food was excellent, the service impeccable, & my friend & I thought that even though we've known this spot was there for years, it finally feels like we've truly discovered it. & with that, needless to say, we already know exactly where we'll be watching the Superbowl ;)

Montreal has been world renowned for it's fine smoked meat since the 1920's, when the first Dunn's opened. 🥪🍖
This branch has been opened since 2000 & couldn't be more downtown if it tried. Perfect place for comfort food before or after a Habs game, or after a night bar hopping on Crescent St.🍻
Last time we went I tried their smoked meat poutine & almost fainted is was so good. Great fries from real potatoes & Dunn's famous smoked meat served with delicious bbq sauce & curds.
You gotta be hungry though... the servings are copious.
Open 24/7 😍

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.

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.

I had an absolutely fantastic dining experience at Dunn's Famous, & I can't recommend this place enough! From the moment we sat down, our waiter, Marvin, made the meal truly memorable. His service was nothing short of exceptional-friendly, attentive, & incredibly efficient. Marvin's warm & welcoming demeanor instantly put us at ease, making the entire experience feel personal & special.
Not only was Marvin quick to ensure our orders were taken & delivered promptly, but he also went above & beyond with his spot-on recommendation of the smoked meat sandwich (Reuben)
Let me tell you, it was a game-changer! The sandwich was perfectly prepared, with tender, flavorful smoked meat piled high, served with just the right balance of mustard & pickles. It's clear why Dunn's Famous is renowned for this dish-it was hands-down one of the best I've ever had.

Finally decided to give it a try & ordered the Dunn's famous poutine. Food is not bad, they open pretty late & the location is great. But the service is pretty none existent. After sitting down for 10 mins couldn't figure out who's our waiter/waitress & had to ask the host. Overall good as drunk food.
