The food served is tasty and of good quality, with signature dishes like coarse-cut Texas French toast and 8-ounce grilled steak. There are also vegetarian and gluten-free options, as well as healthier choices. With dinner, you can enjoy a complimentary alcoholic drink, and additional beverages are available à la carte.

You can check sample menus for each train on the Amtrak website. If you'd rather eat something at the departure station than at the cafeteria, there are usually more options in a food court. You can take food to the train to eat in your seat or in one of the Sightseer rooms if the train offers one. Don't forget to bring your medications with you as you won't have access to your checked luggage or vehicle during the trip. Long-distance train trips also include a traditional dining car, a restaurant on wheels.
