Amtrak Dining Car | All Meals Reviewed

hey guys welcome back to the channel,today we're going to talk about,what you can eat on amtrak,all right so uh it's time for some,breakfast so i went down,got uh some breakfast they have lots of,different off options they've got um,like oatmeals and they have different,types of cereals,and milk and then you can also get,yogurts and muffins,and um they also have a breakfast,sandwich which is actually what i chose,to,get right here so i'm gonna eat that i,brought it back to the room at here and,just set the table out,um and i've also got a yogurt stripper,yogurt,and i've got my coffee of course we,gotta get some coffee to get the blood,flowing and wake myself up a little bit,um but i'm gonna eat this breakfast here,in the room at and enjoy the view,all right guys so we're going to talk,food um,on amtrak and this this is what you get,with your room at you do get all of your,meals included which is breakfast lunch,and dinner,if it applies to your ride and so,uh we talked about breakfast and what,you get with that so let's talk about,this,lunch and dinner is the same menu so you,can,you know you can choose if you see two,different things you like then you get,one for lunch get one for dinner,so i have gotten uh the vegan option,actually which is the enchiladas with,plant protein inside,and then there's rice and black beans,now every meal comes with a salad and,you can choose from,ranch or italian dressing,and then every meal also comes with a,roll,and you also get a dessert these are the,two options right now which is a brownie,and a toffee crunch blondie brownie,um so the other thing that you get which,i think is great is you get,free drinks so water sodas,juice and um also coffee,and they do give you right now they're,giving you one free alcoholic beverage,per ride so that's really awesome too so,you do get lots of different options,they do have a lot of options for,the for the actual meals i mentioned got,the vegan option they do have,one other vegan option which is asian,noodles,and then they also have several pasta,dishes and they even have,creole shrimp and andouille they have,chicken fettucini,they also have shrimp and lobster sauce,which is like hmm,i don't know if i should try that or not,they have chicken marsala,the enchiladas that i got and then last,night actually rob got the uh,the red wine and braised beef so there,are lots of options for that,so those are your options for lunch and,for dinner so you choose from those same,entrees for those two meals so lots of,different,uh things that you can do one thing one,mistake essentially that we made was,that,we brought sodas with us before when we,were in coach and we thought we would,need them again not realizing that,we can get beverages whenever we want,without having to pay for them um,you know like sodas and waters and such,so that's something that you don't need,to bring if you're in a room at,you don't need to bring your drinks,because you'll get those provided for,you,on the train uh and so there's three,different places,that you can eat you can um have your,meal,in the room like we're having and you,have a nice table that pulls out and it,actually slides all the way in here,you can also eat in the dining car and,you can make a,time reservation right now you have to,do that because of covet restrictions,or you can take the food into,the observation car and you can eat in,there so there's several,choices for where you can eat and if you,want to you know just have a private,meal or whatever lots of options for,that so,a lot of really good stuff really,available and the food is actually,um pretty pretty decent tasting so not,bad at all,so as i mentioned uh this menu is,actually,a different menu than the one they,normally use on amtrak,their food program was changed in the,dining car,due to some budget cuts and some changes,have been made as well because,of covet restrictions so the,room your room porter will come around,and ask you,if you'll want to eat in the dining room,or in your room or what arrangements you,would like for dinner,and then you make reservations with them,and they'll reserve a table for you,in order to allow for social distancing,so that's why they come around and make,those reservations for you,um and then once they do that then,you'll also you'll receive,a ticket and you'll take this little,ticket with you,to the dining room uh the dining cart,when you're ready for your meal it tells,them what room you're in,and what time you're supposed to be,there so as you can see here the tables,are spaced out,so you're not sitting right next to,somebody or right across from somebody,and then this side here all the tables,are closed this would normally be,reserved for,coach passengers to come and enjoy a,meal right now they are only serving,those in the dining in the room uh,the sleeping car so this here is the,asian noodles,this is the other vegetarian option and,it was actually,quite tasty it had lots of vegetables in,it,and it was an ove

Amtrak Traditional Dining Car Has Returned

okay so excited traditional dining is,finally back,so we are looking at the menu they,brought us the menu here in the room,and we're looking over it rob and i and,trying to decide what to have for,breakfast before we head over,so here are the choices you can do a,continental breakfast which is,like mixed berries a croissant a greek,yogurt,you can have your choice of assorted,cereals,oatmeal or grits then there's the amtrak,signature railroad french toast,and that's just like thick cut french,toast with whipped cream and some,seasonal berries on top,then there is the three egg omelet,and on that one you have your choice of,cheddar or swiss on top and then they,also you can have,vegetables on top which is peppers and,onions,and that's served with potatoes,breakfast potatoes,and a croissant and then there's the,scrambled eggs which you can add again,your choice of cheddar or swiss,and tomatoes and red and green peppers,and onions,you can mix any of those that you want,in there because they are made to order,which is really amazing,and then that's also served with,breakfast potatoes,and a croissant and then they also have,some sides of,meat choices as well if you would like,that they have the hardwood smoked bacon,and you get three pieces,they have the breakfast pork sausage,link you get two,and chicken sausage links you get two so,um from this list i'm sure you're,thinking you're deciding what you're,gonna pick,i'm gonna tell you what i'm gonna get,and then we'll see what rob wants to get,so i think,i like that three egg omelet that sounds,good sounds like a lot of food,um but that sounds good i like an,omelette over scrambled eggs,i don't know why um so i think i'm gonna,do that,and i think i'm gonna get the chicken,sausage links because that sounds really,good,um so what are you going to get rob i am,definitely going to get the railroad,french toast i knew you were going to,say that,i knew he was going to say that when i,read it i said,he's going to pick the french toast,because he loves french toast,and i'm gonna get the pork sausage and,the sausage yes,so that's what we're gonna get so we're,gonna head on over there um to breakfast,and we're gonna put in our order and,we'll sit there and they'll have the,full table service,and we're gonna bring you guys along,with us so you guys can experience it,too,the french toast is really good it looks,so pretty,strawberries and blueberries,good morning ladies and,this sausage gentlemen really good it's,like something to get at a restaurant so,it makes me feel like i'm at uh bob,evans,or you know like it's actually better,than like a denny's or something like,that but,it's really good,so i got the chicken sausage i'll show,you what that looks like,and it's actually very good so i would,highly recommend that too,okay wow um such a different experience,than,than um what we've been having on the,trains,with the quickie breakfast this is,absolutely amazing to have the table,service,first of all they bring your drinks in,the cups already so,they don't bring you the bottle and a,cup they already serve it in the cup for,you which i thought was really nice you,have real silverware,um and their amtrak plates,as well so that was great the food was,amazing,it was really good and it was actually a,lot of food as i had anticipated,but it was delicious um and it was a,really cool experience what did you,think about yours rob,yeah i thought that the the food was,really good it,kind of compared for me like being on a,cruise ship and,going into the main dining room for,breakfast which you can do sometimes,uh that quality of food so much higher,service than the,biscuit that you normally have been,getting with the traditional dining,now the other thing that i thought was,interesting about it was,they said that you might be sharing a,table,with someone else but from what we could,tell,nobody was sharing any tables and,they're actually open tables,and the train is pretty full so i think,they've been working,a long enough time frame to fit,everybody in,so we'll see what happens next because,our next,meal is at two o'clock we signed up for,the late lunch because we had the late,uh breakfast so i think it'll probably,be,just the two of us at a table again,we'll see,okey-dokey well um it is lunch time,so here are the choices for lunch for,the new traditional menu,so we're looking at they have a caesar,salad it's a classic caesar salad with,the romaine,and the first they add grape tomatoes to,it which is interesting,and then shaved parmesan and if you,would like to have some protein with it,you can add a roasted chicken breast to,that which is really nice that sounds,lovely,there's also artisan grilled cheese it's,oven roasted,turkey bacon provolone and cheddar,cheeses on hickory smoked onion bread,and then they're going to serve that,with tara chips and,coleslaw that sounds pretty good too,this is getting tougher,then the next one is the natural angus,burger it's an,angus beef burger and it's

Amtrak Food Options And Tipping Information

hey guys welcome back to the channel,today we are sharing with you all of the,amtrak food options,we love riding amtrak trains and one of,the big things that's part of the,experience is,food and eating on the train so,we're gonna break down all your options,no matter what train and what class of,ticket you have today,and we're going to go through them all,for you so you can be prepared to know,what you want to eat when you're on the,train,first thing you need to know is you are,allowed to bring your own food on the,train so,if you want to bring a cooler we,oftentimes bring some subs if we're in,coach class or business class,and just kind of bring those with us in,a little soft sided cooler bring a,couple drinks and we're good to go with,that but,if you don't want to do that here's,everything you can buy or will be,included in your ticket on the train so,the first place you can eat is the cafe,and the cafe is on,almost every train there's a couple,trains like the hiawatha,that we've been on that don't have a,cafe and those are gonna be like two,hours or less those trains,anything over that is gonna have a cafe,and all of the,sleeper car trains have a cafe so,everyone is available or everyone is,allowed to purchase food from the cafe,and you can eat it either in your seat,or in the cafe or if you're on a train,with an observation car you can eat it,in the observation car as well so we're,gonna throw that menu up there for you,so you can take a look at it as we uh as,we go along but they do serve breakfast,uh lunch and dinner and this is the,breakfast menu we've got here,and,they've got quite a few selections i,think,yes they do have selections not just hot,breakfast but you can also have,some oatmeal and some pastries and,different things like that so there are,quite a few options there as well as,like muffins,so,you've got some things to pick from if,you want something you know sometimes in,the morning you want something warm,you've got that option or if you just,want you know something quick and sweet,like a pastry or a muffin you can do,that too you'll notice that the hot,breakfasts kind of run five or six,dollars and the cold ones kind of run,three dollars it gives you an idea of,what price you'll be paying if you don't,bring your own food right and then,moving on to lunch and dinner they have,kind of the same assortment of stuff,they've got hamburgers hot dogs pizza,pizza macaroni and cheese cheese which,we have gotten the mac and cheese before,we have it's actually really good it is,good we did like that uh i've gotten the,hot dog before uh-huh it's kind of like,getting a ballpark hot dog yes,and that's it it is a nathan's brand,yeah it is it's pretty good that's gonna,run you that same six seven dollars for,your lunches and then cold snacks chips,drinks,uh it's gonna be like a little meat and,cheese tray it's small um,but yeah it'll be a little bit less,about what five,anywhere from five dollars,down to about 250 or so exactly so uh,then you can get snacks all day which is,gonna be,uh like your m ms and your powerades and,those are all gonna run you two to three,dollars so,that gives you an idea if two of you,were to go eat in the cafe it'd probably,run you about 20 dollars,yes,and then definitely remember that,amtrak is cashless right now so you do,need to bring a debit or credit card to,use if you don't have one,you'll need to make sure that you get,one before you get on the train the,major stations do have a machine,available right now that will convert,your cash into a card that you can use,on board and the cafe also is not open,24 hours so it does there's usually one,person that runs it,and they sometimes often help with the,dining car as well so or if they go on a,meal break they'll close it,so it's going to be open for breakfast,lunch and dinner and it closes usually,in the early evening,eight or nine o'clock depends on the,train but in the person uh but don't,think that that's 24 hours if you need,to get something,get it when they're open because they,will close it a little bit later on yes,yes that that time does vary in the,morning they're usually open about,sometime between six and seven and again,listen for the announcements because,they will tell you when they're closing,the night before they'll tell you in the,morning i'll open at you know six or,seven or whatever exactly so now moving,on to the uh dining car,the most of the east coast view liner,trains are on the flexible dining system,and the flexible dining is not quite as,good as a traditional dining but still,pretty good and we're going to show you,what that is these are basically meals,that are prepared beforehand and warmed,up they're basically microwaved for you,similar to your airplane style food yeah,exactly and so these are going to be on,most of your east coast trains if you,want to know what your train has,you when you when you buy the ticket,it'll give you under the dining section,you you can click on it and see if it,says f

Amtrak dining car and cafe – your food options on all routes

the Sam truck still have dining cars on,their trains what are they like,what routes have what meals what's,Amtrak food cost what are the hours and,the rules can I bring my own food and,drinks,hi I'm still Jeremy I'll go over all of,these questions and more in this video,climb aboard and let's eat,there are basically two ways to eat,Amtrak food simple things from the,so-called cafe or for meals from the,dining car of all the Amtrak routes in,the United States only for the Amtrak,Hartford Line the Hiawatha Keystone,service and Valley flyer have neither of,these so no food at all all of the rest,have at least a cafe and fourteen plus,one sort of also have dining car service,first let's talk about the cafe the one,that nearly every Amtrak route has the,cafe is a casual place to get simple,food including prepackaged sandwiches,and candy bars as well as heated up food,and on some routes pizza slices and,hamburgers and hotdogs and things like,that different routes have different,cafe menus all passengers whether in a,seat or a private compartment need to,pay for things from the cafe prices are,not too bad and there's usually a place,to sit and enjoy the views even on short,routes you can look at PDFs of the,current cafe menu on any route on the,Amtrak website you can also sometimes,buy things like batteries and Amtrak,playing cards at the cafe the cafe is,usually open from early morning until,late at night if you want an afternoon,snack or a beer the cafe is where you go,when it comes to Amtrak's famous full,meal dining cars there are two types,traditional and flexible let's go over,the differences dining cars used to all,be traditional but about half were,downgraded in 2019 as of this video only,these seven routes offer what Amtrak,calls traditional dining Auto train,California Zephyr coast starlight Empire,Builder Southwest chief Sunset Limited,and Texas Eagle traditional dining means,the classic dining car experience that's,been famous for decades it's a full hot,meal service prepared in the train by,staff in a kitchen how it works is the,staff will walk through the Train,beforehand and ask you when you'd like,to eat and will accommodate you the best,they can and issue you a ticket at York,time you take your ticket to the dining,car and you'll be seated at a table with,a white tablecloth and you order from,the server just like it,restaurant every meal is free if you,paid for a private sleeper compartment,but if you're travelling in a seat,you'll have to pay the server for your,meal again just like a restaurant it can,get pricey a note about traditional,dining on auto train between Washington,DC and Orlando it's only available to,those with a private sleeper compartment,and it comes with a free glass of wine,otherwise alcohol in all traditional,dining cars costs extra,Amtrak only serves alcohol to passengers,21 and over finally please leave a tip,for your server after each meal besides,the delicious food one famous and,notable feature of Amtrak's traditional,dining car is that tables always have,four people at them meaning you'll be,seated with other random passengers,conversations always break out as you,compare itineraries and impressions of,the train and the countryside it might,sound a little daunting to some but it's,really a fun feature of traditional,dining making temporary new friends as,part of the Amtrak experience the other,type of meal service is flexible dining,which was introduced in 2019 as a,replacement for traditional dining on,these routes Capital Limited Cardinal,city of New Orleans Crescent Lake Shore,Limited and Silver Meteor and Silver,Star so most of the eastern,long-distance routes,you might remember hearing news stories,in 2019 that Amtrak was discontinuing,its dining cars that made it sound like,no food would be available on any routes,nationwide but in fact the only thing,that changed is the type of meals and,the seating on these seven routes so,what is flexible dining it's sort of a,cross between traditional dining in the,cafe and it's only available for,passengers and sleeping compartments not,coach seats the quality of the food and,flexible dining is a step up from the,cafe but not nearly as nice as a,traditional dining car flexible dining,meals are prepackaged fresh enough but,merely heated up on the train you can,eat anytime you want in the given meal,hours since you are ordering anything to,be prepared just selecting from a stock,supply you can opt to be served in your,room or you can sit in the flexible,dining car which has no table costs and,no assigned seating the car is actually,open 24/7 so,outside mealtimes you can hang around,there but again only if you're staying,in a private compartment basically it's,the formality and forced dinner,companions of the traditional service,that were done away with in flexible,dining but so are the beloved higher-end,food options on the other hand one bonus,of flexible dining is that the first,alcoholic drink of your journey is free,this sit

your appreciation by leaving a tip,as a couple for breakfast and lunch we,left five dollars for each meal and for,dinner we leave ten,some people opt for the end of trip,tipping method in the dining
