a diner from Ottawa, Ont.
After being away for a few months we went back to Dunn for their **Famous Smoke Meat** sandwich.
The meat wasn't cooked properly, it looked and tasted like raw meat it was cut way too thick, rubbery and difficult to eat, we had to fight with it every inch of the way.
During the summer months we ususally go to Dunn every Saturday evening. No more. The restaurant owners needs to look into this, the reputation of Dunn is at stake here.

I gave one star cause I couldnt give 0. The baby back ribs were terrible, i ate one and sent it back. Then then brought me a poutine that was cold. I ate a fry and sent it back. When I spoke to the owner he made me pay 12.95 for the ribs. When we insisted we not pay for something I didn't eat he called the police. So here I am at 5 months pregnant, waiting 2 hours to not eat and have to pay 12.95 + tax. Classy joint!

We got the rudest service ever from the restaurant hostess yesterday.
She was openly offensive to my wife and I from the moment we stepped in the door. She seemed personally insulted that we had the nerve to step into her workplace. She did not say hello, simply came up to us after us waiting at the door for a couple of minutes to be seated and demanded abruptly "are there only two of you????", to which we replied "yes". She showed us to a table and threw the menus down.
After waiting for about 5 minutes after deciding what we wanted to eat, we were finally able to wave her over from the bar. She stormed up to us and abruptly said "can I help you with something?", with a look as if we'd just spit in her face. "Yes, we'd like to order." No reply. My wife said, "I'd like a french onion soup." To which the hostess replied, "Is that it?????". "Uh, I'd like a chocolate milkshake", I said. I got the look as if a chocolate milkshake had personally offended her earlier that day, then she demanded again, "IS THAT IT???". "Uhh.... Yes." And she stormed away. The rest of the stay, we were helped by a perfectly pleasant server and the food was just fine.
BUT, we've never been so personally insulted in our lives for simply showing up at someone's workplace and assuming that they might do their job.
If you go to Dunn's and a rather large, grumpy looking girl greets you at the door. RUN AWAY!! If we had not been craving their french onion soup that we haven't been able to have in over a year because we've been out of the country, we would have left after her offensive order taking!
Dunn's needs to do some house cleaning before we decide to go back there again!
