Super casual setting and open late night! I see couples, families, singles after work stopping here to fill their tummies late at night. Poutine is oh so delicious! Tasty gravy, mound of chopped smoked meat, big chunks of cheese curds over fries. You can't ask for any better poutine than this! Ruben sandwich came with thick cut juicy smoked meat. Just delish.

Smoked meat is another word for pastrami - but with a twist. That difference in flavor differentiates it from it's more famous cousin. But this place is amazing. The flavor of the meat was terrific. Honestly, we couldn't get enough. Even though our time in Montreal was limited we came back to this place twice. So good. FOOD: Like I said, delicious. You have to get the smoked meat even though they have plenty of other things. Of course you can get the classic poutine also - a Canadian classic. But you're here for the smoked meat. For sure. SERVICE: Good! Can't complain. People were very nice with us tourists and the portion sizes are huge. We had enough to take back with us each time. COST: Very good for the quality AND quantity. Totally worthwhile.

Came for dinner. No reservations but was seated right away. The seating is narrow and kinda awkward with our coats at a non-booth table. Also the tables along the center of the restaurant are adjacent to another table, you can turn your head and see you neighbor maybe 6 in away from your face. Our server was good. We ordered and got our food quickly. We ordered a French onion soup, poutine and a montreal smoked meat club. The soup was pretty good, had a nice cheese top. The poutine was a nice portion to share. And the club had a good amount of meat in it. Apparently they say they're known for their cheesecake, we tried a slice. The cheesecake was rich and decadent and it was topped with the a strawberry sauce. This cheesecake didn't have a crust. Definitely good to share. Price point is good for this establishment. Seems like a family friendly sports bar.

This historical establishment didn't disappoint. I got the French onion soup which was tasty n garlicky. Then I ordered a Cobb salad with smoked meat instead of chicken. Great way to taste the meat without the extras. I was pleased. Locals love this spot n tourists enjoy it too.

We came here for a late night dinner around 10. Thank God they were open or we would be starving. Even though it was late it was still full and it kept filling up with late diners and young people. I ordered fried rice, it was good I ate half of it it was a big serving for me and hubby ordered the sandwich and he liked it. The egg rolls were amazing as well. Our waiter was very attentive and our food came in a reasonable time. It's a casual place, plenty of tables and bathrooms are located downstairs.

I've really tried to give this place chance after chance, but it just keeps disappointing. This time I ordered the Club Roll, and honestly, it was nothing like the photos they show online or on Uber Eats. Instead of a stacked smoked meat sandwich, what I got looked more like ham, salami, or even bologna definitely not smoked meat. The portion was small and felt misleading compared to their promo pictures. A couple of months ago, I also tried their Louisiana potato soup with bacon, and it came watery with almost raw bacon thrown not slow cooked, not even crispy, just undercooked. Totally unappetizing. Their smoked meat sandwiches aren't much better. When they do give smoked meat, the slices are cut so thick that they fall right out of the bread and make it impossible to enjoy. The only positives: they're generous with the fries (if you're lucky enough to get them fresh and crispy), and the pickle and coleslaw are usually solid. But for a place that's supposed to be known for smoked meat, it's really disappointing that they can't seem to get the basics right. It sucks, because this is an iconic name in Montreal. but based on repeated experiences, I just can't recommend it anymore. I will forsure keep trying and hoping

We walked to Dunn's from our hotel, looking for a late night dinner of Poutine, and heard they had good smoked meat poutine. Although we read that service wasn't great, we decided to give it a try. The place was busy, but not packed. We were seated right away by an unfriendly host, which tracked with reviews. Our waiter came by and quickly took our drink order, and then we chose to order the smoked meat poutine. Drinks were delivered to our table, and we enjoyed those waiting for our poutine. There were a few games on the TV's around the bar, and the place had a fun atmosphere. Our poutine was delivered and Wow. There is a ton of tiny shredded pieces of the smoked meat atop our poutine with gravy and cheese curds sitting over the fries. The food was really good, we enjoyed the poutine. Our server never came back to check on us, we had to ask for the check, and there was no interaction with the staff even over the check. It really is too bad as we found the poutine to be very flavorful, the meat was melt in your mouth tender and had a very nice smoky flavor to it. We knew the service was going to be a hit or miss, just wanted to try the food. If you can overlook the lack of friendly service, the food was good.

What a fun casual place with good poutine. Our table looked like the twister game, I noticed other tables had other themes such as Pac-Man. We ordered poutine and an order of Fish and Chips and shared both between us. The poutine was excelled but the fish and chips were just OK. The service was friendly and although our food was served quickly, we ordered dessert and ended up cancelling the order because it took so long. I want to go back and try their smoked meat sandwich!

From start to finish this place was a mess. Our server weakly "greeted" us after we called out for acknowledgment. After being sat, we were met with with the rudest server I've experienced in Canada. He picked on my dining partner for not understanding the difference between two of the sandwiches. My dining partner - who is not even from the North American continent, speaks English as a second language, and has an accent that clearly demonstrates this - was unsure about open face versus not open face. Our server made a quip that was pretty rude and straight up ignorant, but he lacked self-awareness to figure that out. Now this terrible experience with 2 of the service staff barely factors into why this place gets one star. We were told that this place had great smoked meat. To my knowledge, smoking meat with particular wood gives it a very nice flavor and often times it is seasoned. I have had smoked meat in the American South as well as the Australian Outback and it is bombastically delicious. This is not funny, but I laughed at it. The food that he was served was a significantly smaller portion than mine, which is strange because he was rudely told that the only difference between the two sandwiches was that one had bread on top. Look at the photos and tell me if you spy the difference. We had some appetizers (the only reason this place gets more than one star) and they were mid, but they had something that the smoked meat didn't have: flavour! The smoked meat here is like wet sawdust. It tastes like nothing. It's not dry, which is good, but it doesn't taste like much of anything. It was simply terrible. My dining partner ate the food as a source of protein and sustenance and nothing more. He was appalled. What made this even more of a ridiculous situation is that while we were trying to eat our MDF-level meat scraps, our server decided to have a conversation with the table behind us and complain about the pro-Palestine protesters that day, saying that if they don't like it in this country, they should go back to their own. I get being frustrated about traffic being blocked, but spewing anti-immigrant sentiment creates for an uncomfortable dining experience in a city that gets any amount of tourism. For the service to be so bad, you would think that they would really step it up with the food so you could at least say "wow" at the end of your meal, but it was a shocking disappointment. With the double whammy of the bad food and not great server, I am flabbergasted at how this place is still doing business like this.

Maybe one of the best poutines i've ever had ! Of course. I had a montreal smoke meat sandwich and it was outstanding. The atmosphere was old montreal, and the pricing wasn't far behind. Thanks for a great experience that didn't break the bank.

We tried Dunn's for the first time and the service was impeccably fast. The host was patient with us as well. Although we ordered take-out, the place had a nice ambiance with lots of seating. We got poutine as well as the smoked meat sandwich. We also ordered the Dunn's famous smoked meat poutine and the smoked meat burger. The smoked meat poutine was covered in smoked meat and packed with flavour. There was a perfect ratio of cheese curds to gravy to fries as well. The smoked meat burger did not quite live up to our expectations. The burger patty itself was dry and there was only a few slices of smoked meat. On the other hand, the smoked meat sandwich was great! Highly recommend. If you're ever in Montreal, definitely hit up this spot.

My husband went to get poutine from Dunn's and came back with this. The fries are ok, cheese is really good and the meat is ok. Kind of weird to be honest. We agreed that Costco fries and the rest of this poutine would be a perfect combo.
