I’ve been coming here for years and always experiencing the same issues. First of all, the blond hostess is really unprofessional, unhappy, doesn’t greet costumers and many more. The rest of the staff 4/10 everyone looks unhappy, I would ask for something I would either not get it or having to wait ages to get it, terrible service😞. Unfortunately won’t be returning here and wouldn’t recommend!!!

This place is awesome and has a casual, home-style taste that I feel some of the more famous places are missing. Sometimes, food can be TOO polished and Dunn's brings it right back down to earth. It's not pretentious or trying to be something it's not, it tastes like it was made by someone who loves you. The meat was great but don't sleep on the fries, holy heck they were top tier. A million bonus points for the quick service. As a visitor who's here for work and only has 30 minutes, I was well fed within that time. Thank you for the delicious food, making solo dining not awkward, and being so close to the office, this is an easy "will be back"!

Great food but super crowded. Probably because the food is so fantastic.

Extremely disappointing experience. We visited today as a party of two and asked to be moved to a larger table that was available. The staff refused our request, yet we noticed other parties of two being seated at large tables without any issues. The service was dismissive and indifferent throughout our meal. It felt like we were being singled out or discriminated against for unknown reasons. A very unpleasant visit with poor service standards

We hit this place late on a Friday night and it was great. The food was so good, but Steve our waiter was world class. He presented the menu with great detail and recommendations. He also had us laughing the whole time. It the last thing we did on our trip to Montreal. Thanks Steve!

When in Montreal having smoked meat is a check in the box and Dunns makes it an experience. We were quickly seated. Orders taken and food delivery fast! Our server, Jenny, was awesome. Checked on us and made sure we had all the condiments to go with spectacular sandwich and delish fries. Ate every bit of food on the dish. Chatted with a regular patron beside us making it a very friendly atmosphere.

TOURIST TRAP WITH BAD FOOD. I used to go quite often at Dunn's late 90s early 2000s. Everyone was welcomed like a family member and the food was excellent. NOT ANYMORE. Stay away from this place. The waiter was barely polite and you're obviously just a dollar sign to him. The bread was ultra thin, soggy right from the start, and tasted nothing. The cook added just a tiny spot of mustard in the middle of the bread and that shows how little they care. The meat (medium) tasted nothing. The coleslaw was room temperature and served in an half-empty tiny bowl buried under the fries (they just threw everything in the basket). The tiny fries were barely hot and limp and were tiny so it cooks faster so they save money. Dunn's used to be a great place and proudly serving good food. Not anymore and it's now even worse than your local fast food joint. I've spent $35 for nothing and never going back. Stick to Schwartz instead because they have pride THERE.

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 and it was delicious. The meat was super tender, juicy, and had great flavor. We were at another place recently, starts with an "S" and in my opinion, this sandwich at Dunn's is slightly better. Service was great, and 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.

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