When it comes to Amtrak's full service Dining Cars, the expectation that many travelers have it far from present day reality. Long gone are the days when the menu was extensive, and the on-board Chefs could adjust entrees based on personal preference.
Never had a bad meal on the SWC on any of my trips. I have a realistic view of what to expect......but I find most times they are above average in my experience.
The menu deal sounds good, but I'm basicly a meat & potatoes man. I do not like any fancy "things" or "garnishes". Maybe if I finally do get to make my trip, picking up some fresh fruit here & there might be a good idea. Kind of an emergency bag lunch program.

No trendy food here.........Check my blog at the bottom of each post. You will see I was boring at meal time. Big burger at lunch and steak and potato at dinner. Never disappoints !! And at breakfast I do a ala cart.....just some eggs scrambled and fried potatoes bacon. And I do know where I can jump off the train at a stop and buy things I NEED.....like a Diet Coke!! (none on the train!)
