Dunn’s Famous

Working in Montréal and having a smoked meat craving a lot of the natives recommended this place. I got the smoked meat platter and it was exactly what I expected, a platter of assorted smoked meats that had a good taste. Not out of this world but for what it is you get the experience.

Great diner food. The smoked meat sandwich was amazing. I ordered my sandwich medium which refers to the level of fattiness. My meal was accompanied with russet potato fries and an amazing non-​mayo coleslaw. All in all, great lunch spot, with great service.

Great restaurant and take out place prices are very moderate and roast beef sandwiches are the best in town keep it up mr Myer Dunn is a true inspiration!

Overall very average. The smoked meat is okay, the mozzarella cheese sticks are clearly pre-​packaged, cheese wasn’t even melted. Service was okay nothing special. Wasn’t very impressed.

Matzo soup was luke warm. It wasn’t busy and it took forever for smoked meat sandwich to come. Once again, like warm.
Them waited and waited for the bill.
Try Snowdons down the road or Chenoy’s.
Way better
Won’t be coming back

Having just returned from a month long trip to a Houston, I was craving really good Montréal smoked meat.
I ordered the Super Smoked Meat special, must be an 8 oz sandwich that comes with cole slaw, French fries and a pickle.
The smoked meat was perfection as were the fries.
Establishment is clean and looks well maintained. The service was very good as well.

I’ve only been to Schwartz’s so when I was proposed to go there for dinner, I was sure, why not? I wanted to try and see how the other smoked meat places stacked up to the Famous Schwartz.
In the end, after looking over the menu, our group decided to go with just sandwiches and its meat was not salty… two big sandwiches that came with fries and split by three people was enough to fill us up
Service was pretty efficient. Place and decoration looked like a 50’s restaurant which I quite like the look and feel.
Loved that it is open 24 hours and so close to where I am located so that I don’t need to go to DOWNTOWN to get my fix of smoked meat when I am in town :)

Chez Dunn’s, il est possible de manger un sandwich smoke-​meat correct. Non, ce n’est pas le meilleur de Montréal, mais la viande ici est quand-​même bien apprêtée. En général, le service dans cette succursale est décent, courtois et poli. La carte des vins est très simple et se limite à quelques vins grand public et bon marché. Donc, évitez l’endroit si, tout comme moi, vous aimez votre smoke-​meat avec un bon verre de rouge. Le menu est varié. Le resto est relativement propre et bien entretenu.
Dunn’s n’est pas mon comptoir à smoke-​meat préféré, mais lorsque j’ai envie d’un bon sandwich à la viande fumé et qu’il n’y a rien d’autre autour, donc oui, je m’arrête ici. Surtout lorsque le trafic sur le boulevard Décarie est exécrable, et dieu sait que ça arrive souvent…

I like to come to Dunn’s for their smoked meat poutine. It’s a good amount of food– I don’t usually finish it all in one sitting. I like that they chop up mostly lean meat because that works best with the poutine. The food has been consistently good and I like it because it’s a good alternative to Schwartz’s which is much further away from my home.
In all honesty I’m not sure their sandwiches are worth the price. The normal smoked meat sandwich (by itself) is pretty small for $ 8.50.
The other thing I’d like to mention is their smoked meat that comes frozen in a box (6 pack). It’s really good and very convenient to keep in a freezer at home. I noticed in the past few years that the price has shot up quickly, we used to buy it for $ 18 per box at Costco. Last time I asked for a price check at this Dunn’s restaurant the cashier said it was $ 18, but two weeks later I came back to purchase it and saw that the receipt stated $ 22.99 for one box. Either I was given an incorrect price the first time or they just had a very steep increase.
I would give 5 stars if the prices were more agreeable.

So the staff is really incompetent. We asked about allergies because my fiancé is celiac and they said that the food was gluten-​free and fine. After we ordered we discovered that one of the dish had soy sauce which almost always have gluten in it. The answer of the staff was «if you have allergies don’t eat here». They didn’t care. The food wasn’t even that good and one of the dish was cold.

Big fan of this place! Been to other Dunns, this one is the best one so far
Good food! Very good and fast service, nice staff, pretty big portions. Not because I’m a girl, my husband too loves this place.

I like that it’s open ²⁴⁄₇. Great food, excellent staff and always clean.
I would recommend the smoked meat and matzo ball soup.

I am from Vancouver BC, never been to Dunn’s before showing up here on a cold snowy night.
I was really impressed with the smoked meat. Now I need to go visit the one we have on Seymour St. I didn’t know we had.

Michael covered most of the points here, so I’ll hit and run. Love the 24h aspect, and I enjoyed my Dunn’s spaghetti — (meat sauce and smoked meat). Service was fast (though our server lacked personality, but whatever…) and the prices were alright.
I’ll be back.

Big fan of Dunn’s due to a few reasons:
— Opens ²⁴⁄₇
— Smoked meat, smoked meat, and smoked meat!
— Affordable price
— Huge generous portions
— Down to earth service, nothing fancy flashy, just people who do their job and do it correctly!
Here are the cons though:
— Sometimes limited choice if you go in the early AMs (1−6am)
— Could taste better since Schwartz has better smoked meat than Dunns
But I’m a fan!

This particular Dunn’s location is open 24 hours, which is awesome, but it’s tucked away at the intersection of Jean-​Talon Ouest and Décarie, which is less awesome if you feel like having a smoked meat and some fries at 4 AM. Not on the same level as Schwartz’s or even Rueben’s and a bit expensive, but plenty good in its own right.
