Curious about the food options on Amtrak? It varies by train route. Some routes feature full dining cars with sit-down meals, while others only have café cars offering snacks and drinks. Regional trains typically provide a café service, and on long-distance routes, meals are often included for passengers in sleeper classes.

One of my favorite aspects of train travel is enjoying a coffee from the café car or having dinner in the dining car; it’s a perfect way to stretch your legs and break up the journey.

Below, you’ll find detailed guides to each dining option, including menus, pricing, and what you can expect.

Bon appétit!
