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.

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 and 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 and almost fainted is was so good. Great fries from real potatoes and Dunn's famous smoked meat served with delicious bbq sauce and curds. You gotta be hungry though... the servings are copious. Open 24/7 😍

Showed up at 4:10am and they told me I can not sit down even though others were dining in front of me, they only do poutine and smoked meat (takeout), and that I need to show up before 4:15am for the full menu? I corrected him (and showed him the time) and said actually I need to show up before 4:00am apparently. Why did you lure me in advertising you’re open until 5am? I feel scammed. Waste of my time and gas.

I absolutely loved it, I was in town only for one night and wanted to try local food, and it was just amazing, staff was kind even though it was busy, food was absolutely fantastic, waiting time was short, and price was reasonable as I ordered various things. Definitely worth it!
