Would the more experienced Amtrak long distance diners share their menu must-haves and must-not-haves? Also, any tips on food to bring along are appreciated. Thanks.
Ya know, this just goes to show, it's all a matter of taste. RR Bill hates the Chipotle Black Bean Burger, I prefer it...... go figure.Steak with baked potato and veggies topped off with the strawberry cheesecake. yum!!
Chicken with rice is usually good
Angus burger for lunch and sometimes more cheesecake..
Cheese omelet, croissant , pancakes are usually o.k.
Stay away from veggie burger (yech!!)
Fish has not been a good choice for me, but others say theirs was o.k.
Short ribs can go either way as well.
General trend is: if its a special..its not
The Signature Steak.OK, I get the French toast, but what's the other dish?
They offered it as a special lunch sandwich on... the CL, I think? It might have been the Crescent. I can't remember.I don't think the bratwurst on a pretzel roll is still on the regular menu, but perhaps it occasionally makes an appearance as a special? A delicious lunch choice, I thought.
I had the Brat for Lunch on one of the East Coast trains a few weeks ago (cannot remember which one) and was a bit worried when I ordered it since I am very fussy about Bratwurst. I was more than happy with what was served!They offered it as a special lunch sandwich on... the CL, I think? It might have been the Crescent.
