Decent food and great service. We ordered their "le hot chicken" and "chicken club" sandwiches, both dishes were good, very generous portion too read more

Dunn's - Le hot chicken & Chicken club - Poutineries Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Wasn't sure what to expect from this place. Seems a little gimmicky, but it was close to where i was staying and we needed a little late night food. We tried the poutine with smoked meat. I'm no poutine expert, but I really enjoyed it. We also got the latkes, which lacked good crunch, but had good flavor. I was surprised that they only had bottled soda instead of fountain. I love that it's open 24 hours. read more

This was a perfect meal. I don't use that word lightly, but everything we ordered was wonderful and flawless. The smoked meat, ordered lean, was extremely tender and delicious. I ate every bit. The fries were hot and crisp and freshly cut. The slaw? Out of this world. Top it off with a draft beer and you've got the ideal meal. We also ordered the Poutine Québécois. The curds were ooey gooey and the fries, of course, were crispy and delicious. You won't go wrong at this Montreal institution. read more

This place can be good depending on the chef. I first tried this place 3 years ago and thought the smoke meat was better than Schwartz. It was very moist and tasty. Even the poutine was excellent. Therefore, we came back here 3 years later because we were craving a good Montreal smoke meat sandwich. This time I would say it is below par. The meat was dry and the poutine was just ok. We might give this place another shot because it is still better than restaurant in Toronto. However, we would probably try other places first before coming back. read more

I'll give it an extra star since prices have gone up elsewhere. I just tried their breakfast, tasty eggs and decent sized for 7 bucks is pretty good around these parts. read more

The service here was amazing but otherwise it was just okay. The poutine was way too salty and came out luke warm plus I think it is overpriced for what you get. The coffee was very weak but it did the job. I didn't try the smoked meat and maybe I should have as that's what they're known for. I would go back just because the service was outstanding but I wouldn't get the poutine again. read more

We came for a lunch on a Sunday and it was pretty packed. We weren't greeted promptly and the service was a little slow. However, this was made up for by the very generous portions they provided. We ordered the Smoked Meat Super Combo with a side of Dunn's Poutine. This was easily enough to feed 2 adults (and certainly enough to feed 1 adult). The food was delicious and we were taken care of despite not being seated quickly upon entering the restaurant. The decor was unique as well, owing to the long history of the Dunn's Famous franchise. read more

Always reliable, always delicious, always friendly and most importantly, always open. I first visited this sumptuous place, which has been around forever, 35 years ago. Yummy smells, yummy food and decent prices. It's one of my favourite places whenever I travel to Montreal. It is well worth a visit anytime. read more

Had their smoked meat sandwich after being in Schwartz countless times. I think I like Dunn's smoked meat better. I felt it had a bit more flavor. I'll be back to try some poutine next time I'm back in Montreal. Their food is pretty huge too btw. I had their smallest sandwich, and it was quite a lot of food! read more

Came here midnight past after arriving late into Montréal Cute retro diner look,service a bit slow for being empty ... Service adequate Pricey sloppy enormous amounts of food without much flavor french fries soggy... Reuben and club....smoked meat is beef brisket. ...for the money reuben is mainly bread ... menu has too many other weird options not related to a classic deli which was my first red flag.... would not recommend.. read more

Delightful food and service. After checking in to our hotel, we wandered to Dunn's in late afternoon. Dunn's had a definite diner feel. We were promptly seated in a tall backed booth. We had different items grim their menu and all were tasty. We did have smoked meat and it was good. My husband loved The vinegar based coleslaw. The service was also great. They also have a kids' menu which was a nice change. You won't be disappointed. read more

We weren't leaving Montréal without trying the Poutine Fries. We decided to go with Dunn's Famous ... wish they would give you nice slices of meat as opposed to what appears to be leftover crumbs from the carving table. I did order the gravy on the side which kept the fries nice and crisp til the end. I thought the smoked meat was moist and flavorful, better than Schwartz. read more

When your girlfriend/boyfriend asks you what you're craving and you don't know, well just say smoked meat and bring them here and say that a yelper gave that advice!!!!! It shows in the name of the restaurant, "Dunn's FAMOUS" !!! Yes it is a known place for its smoked meat! And yes you should try it out! The atmosphere depicts the taste of smoked meat. The food is really good, the fries are just right, homemade ! The meat was not too dry. May be crowded at lunch time. The staff was almost emotionless, but the service was correct and adequate. But hey! I came here for the food! So you should too! read more

Dunn's - In front is the bagel smoked meat. Yes, it's smoked meat in a bagel. And in the back is the super combo smoked meat which has more meat! - Poutineries Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

So glad we found Dunn's as we were staying at a nearby hotel and we got so tired of eating in the food court in the underground. The portions here are huge, the prices super reasonable, and this is a clear, well lighted restaurant, with comfortable tables and the food comes fast. My favorite is the hot dog platter, the dog is huge, and comes with relish and mustard. I put the coleslaw on it too, and I loved that the coleslaw was vinegar based. The fries are hand cut and so flavorful. And a shout out to our waiter. He was super fun and knew how to handle a table of "Southern girls". read more

This place is great in a pinch, when you want to have the famous Montreal smoked meats, but don't want to wait forever at Schwartz and are downtown. Smoked meat was great, but not the absolute best. Some of the other dishes were a bit lacking, to be honest. Still, worth trying if you want a familiar casual restaurant atmosphere, and to try classic Montreal food. read more

Cho and I were coming close to the end of our 24hr Montreal adventure, but we had to satisfy his Korean smoked meat rampage one more time even though it was 1am. Schwartz was closing so we opted for Dunn's- open 24 hours! Both of us weren't particularly hungry as we had already eaten all day, so we decided to share the Rueben which comes with coleslaw, pickles and fries. We added smoked meat spring rolls. The total was about $25. The atmosphere was a classic 1960s diner which i loved. The place was quite packed. The service was appropriate as the waitress was busy. Tastewise everything was on point. Compared to Schwartz, the smoked meat at Dunn's is more fatty and moist which carries more flavour and with the cheese, dressing and self-applied mustard it was an explosion in the mouth. The Korean boy grinned with ecstasy. The meat at Schwartz is cooked longer, less moist but carries a bit more texture. The fries were crispy, and the coleslaw and pickles really balanced everything well. The Korean beast and I could have easily ordered another, the food was extremely satisfying. Stay tuned for the final episode of- 24 hours in Montreal with Tonka Tonka Cho. Service- 4/5 Location- 5/5 Atmosphere- 5/5 Cleanliness- 4/5 Food- 5/5 Price/Value- 4/5 Would i return? Yes! read more

Should really be a 3.5 Star. There around 10pm last night, place is pretty dear like the rest of the town on a Tuesday night. Had their"famous poutine". Nice portion... For $14++, it better be nice portion!!! What shall I say, taste like fries with gravy and smoke meat topping. Nothing special, longing at it in a positive way, not bad. Worth the$14? You pay for the central downtown eating.... Maybe you get a bit more vibe over the weekend. read more

Well I did it, that is I went to both Schwartz's and Dunn's and now I need to determine which was better - for me at least;) For me the meat at Schwartz's was better, not to say that Dunn's was bad- both top quality meats. I found the staff at Schwartz's more engaging with the customers - great for some, but sometimes you just want to spend some quality time with your significant others, so I'll call it a draw for staff. In terms of variety (aka non meat choices) Dunn's is king! At Schwartz's meat is your bundle! I have to give Dunn's the edge on ambience as well - Schwartz's felt rushed. Bottom line if you are looking for a relaxed great meal Dunn's the winner ( also they have alcohol!!) read more

The smoked meat sandwich was tasty. Portion was quite big, can be shared between 2 people. The price overall was pricey though. The waitress was very nice! read more

Wanted to eat somewhere local and picked Dunn's based on reviews and close enough to walk back to hotel after dinner. It was busy but service was pretty good with one exception (see later). We ordered the Louisiana soup which was a very tasty potato soup. My wife and son ordered spaghetti with meatballs and I ordered the Reuben. After our soups, the pasta arrived but the Reuben never came until we asked and it was made at that point (luckily something that could be quickly made). The pasta sauce was a little bland, but the meatballs and garlic bread were good and the portion was generous. The Reuben was tasty and the fries were good so overall we were pleased as we made the trek back to the hotel. Nice atmosphere and pleasant waitstaff made for a nice evening. read more

There smoked meat poutine is amazing. I love it and it delicious. Omg it is literally the best smoked meat poutine I have had in many years. Thank you Dunn's for blessing me on your smoked meat poutine read more

Came in for a quick bite. My friends loved their food and poutines. Bartender gave a good pour. However, I didn't like the bathroom being at the bottom of the stairs and didn't like sitting in the extra chair. Felt like I was in the way the whole time. read more

Very decent smoked meat. Slices of meat are too thick for my liking and seats quite narrow, but they server a decent smoked meat sandwich.

Disclaimer: I love smoked meat. Hot, freshly carved smoked meat (not the cold thinly sliced kind that you find in supermarkets). I also love my smoked meat thickly cut and medium fatty. Lean meat does not go with smoked meat. (You're thinking turkey or chicken - if lean meat is what you want.) Ok, so being from Montreal my standards for smoked meat are high :) Now I know the "best" smoked meat in town is a topic of discussion (like our bagels lol) - but I'm Team Schwartz's! Yes, it's not the friendliest nor the fastest service - and there's always a line-up (unless you go really late at night, which I highly recommend btw, great vibe with the staff!). BUT they know how to make their smoked meat!! And when I'm either too far or too lazy to get to Schwartz's, my go-to place is Dunn's! Their smoked meat is satisfying - and has a nice fatty, marbling texture to it. Their fries are super crispy and good! And I enjoy their coleslaw and pickle too (and always get a Cott's Black Cherry soda). Again, like with Schwartz's - Dunn's isn't fancy. But they make a yummy smoked meat! read more

Dunns My first exposure to Dunns was when I lived in Ottawa. The Dunn's on Elgin was one of my favourite places to eat. When I moved back to Toronto there was a Dunn's at Empress Walk. It lasted a few years, but Torontonians never warmed up to Montreal smoked meat - shame on them. So on our family vacation to Montreal, we had the opportunity to dine at the original Dunn's. To me, this is like the Holy Grail of Dunn's locations. Going in, I was surprised just how small it was given the size of the other locations we had been to. Still its not size that matters, its how the food tastes. I had the Super Smoked Meat Sandwich, and my wife had the Classic Club. The kids split chicken fingers and a cheese pizza amongst the three of them. Our food arrived, then I had a mixed experience. My smoked meat sandwich was good. However my recent smoked meat at Brisket Montreal (Salon Krausmann) was better. The fries were ok, but as memory serves me the fries at the other Dunns locations were just ok as well. My wife gave her lunch a 7 out of 10, and the kids were very happy with the pizza, and the chicken fingers got an ok. The detractor of the meal was the table beside us. The general manager of the Dunns chain was there with a salesperson, discussing their television advertising plan. I didn't need to hear two loud talkers during most of my meal. Management should know better and should discuss plans in their office. read more

Montreal is famous for its smoked meat sandwiches so Gord and I had lunch today at Dunn's. Gord and I both ordered Super Smoked Meat Combos (8 ounces of meat) with medium meat (so it was less lean).  Gord got his with a latke and I got mine with a baked potato. It was a delicious sandwich!  The meat was so tasty and tender.  Yum! Rebeccah was our server.  She was friendly and took good care of us. read more

Just a real waste of precious calories in a city with so many better options. The poutine may impress American tourists who have little experience with the dish, but there are so many better options - Frite Alors is nearby, and probably just as far to your hotel. Montreal's other foodie claim to fame is smoked meat, and here I'm less of an expert, but Dunn's just seems like flavorless pastrami to me. If you have it as a sandwich it will come on thin unimpressive rye, just a bland disappointment. So unauthentic that even the mustard is heinz. The experience comes packaged within a dank diner environment, with menus disintegrating from age. All in all it is a real disappointment, certainly underserving of an overall 4-star on Yelp, and resting on laurels earned decades ago (when the menus were printed). read more

Visiting Montreal, we were told to try the smoked meat dishes, so we grabbed some food to go on our way to the Tam Tam. The Reuben was perhaps the largest sandwich I've ever eaten, and they don't sacrifice flavor for size! Delicious. My wife loved her Downtown Wrap with its pickles and honey mustard sauce. The leftovers turned into an ample second meal later. $17 may seem steep for a sandwich, but it turned into two meals and I think was definitely worth it. read more

I came with a rather large party on a Saturday night at 8:00 PM. We had 9 adults and 6 children - not a very ideal group for the unfortunate waitstaff member who draws the short straw. We are also out-of-towners. 2 of us are from Southern California while everyone is are from various parts of Toronto. The kids started having meltdowns at 9:00 PM. One even started throwing up. Our waitress (whose name I unfortunately do not remember) was so gracious and helpful during such a trying time. If I could give more than 5 stars in a review, I would do so on her outstanding service and friendly, accommodating attitude alone. We did leave her a rather larger than normal tip, of course. Food was exceptional - my petit combo was tender and super flavorful. The matzo ball soup was absolutely delicious. I would definitely return. read more

My daughter and I were in town for a Dallas Stars game and wanted to try some poutine so we walked to Dunn's Famous as it was close to our hotel. Although they had quite a selection, we went with the traditional QUÉBÉCOISE. It was delicious. Next we shared the super combo smoked meat sandwich and which was moist, smokey, and served with the right amount of mustard. We had room for dessert so we chose the hot cookie and ice cream and we were glad we did. The cookie was thick, hot, and chocolatey with a healthy serving of ice cream and cool whip (in Stewie's voice) slowly melting on top. The staff was quick and attentive. Bonus: we were wearing our Stars gear and the wait staff talked hockey with us for quite a bit. read more

While casually strolling the streets we saw this place and thought we should come in and try the smoked meat. Why? There were pounds of smoked meat displayed in the window and I immediately turned into one of those cartoon characters. You know, the ones where they smell food and their bodies drift toward it. Yea, that was me when I saw smoked meat in the window. They have a pretty vast menu so I'm assuming there's something for everyone. My bf ordered the smoked meat sandwich and I ordered the poutine with smoked meat on top. The smoked meat sandwich was pretty good. The meat was tender and fatty and damn near melted in my mouth. The poutine was ok. I'm not sure why, but the smoked meat on the sandwich was a lot better than the smoked meat on top of the poutine. Also, I wasn't a huge fan of the gravy. It was kinda watery. I prefer gravy that's a bit thicker. The service was awful. We were greeted and given menus when we walked in but people kept walking by us until finally we had to flag someone down for waters. Then, they took our order (finally). It took forever to get the check and no one ever stopped in to see if we needed anything else. We ate, paid, and got the hell outta there. It could have been a 4 rating if the service wasn't so crappy. read more

Looking for your late night smoked meat fix downtown Montreal - look no further to Dunn on Metcalfe street. They serve a hearty smoked meat sandwich and you can upgrade your fries to a mound of poutine of your choice. What a filling meal! They also accept credit card which is a plus. I would highly recommend this place if you are avoiding lineups at other smoked meat places. :) read more

Came here to try the Montreal-famous smoked meat and poutine. The meal I had had me wishing I went somewhere else. Also not terrible, I found the meat overly salty and a bit odd-looking. The poutine was okay, but I found the fries a bit too oily. The redeeming factor of the place is the service-our party of 7 was seated quickly and the waitress was very sweet and attentive! read more

The main attraction of this place is that it's open 24 hours a day. You can find your classic burgers and fries, but also poutines and some salads. Don't expect high end cuisine, but plenty of food and not terribly expensive. Good selection of beers, both bottled and on tap. read more

This place did not disappoint. The kids menu had lots to offer, the server friendly and professional, and of course the smoked meat was extremely good. I had a Reuben, and it came accompanied by a tasty sweet Cole slaw and dill. Not too much sauce on the sandwich, and the cheese and sauerkraut were just enough flavours to be good company for the meat. I upgraded the fries to poutine and was rewarded with a decent bowl. My wife didn't like the gravy but I thought it was fine. The cheese were proper curds, not the shredded garbage you find in Toronto. The desserts looked delectable and so I had a mini cheesecake, a perfect size to get a taste without over filling. The kids split a warm cookie, which came with a vanilla ice cream. The warm cookie didn't disappoint, and went perfectly with the ice cream. On top of great food and great service was a friendly, fun vibe. It made an impression on our son, who lived his pizza and kept talking about coming back for another visit. read more
