    Amtrak dining and cafe service

    We always have our dinner brought to us. I have in issue with the stairs and sleep on the lower level. I always tip our SCA more due to the fact he/she has to deliver our food.

    Amtrak dining and cafe service

    Every day, dining options may be different. Amtrak in general has been having difficulties with staffing issues. Maybe the AT didn't have enough staff for the dining car. If that was the case, I feel sorry for the SCA's. JMHO

    You eat in your room? Why?

    My opinion is only about the Auto Train, and have been traveling the AT for years. We choose not to eat in the dining room due to the simple fact Hubby is a big guy and does not fit comfortably in the booths in the dining room.

    Cafe Car Food

    We take the Auto Train 53 and 52. Keep in mind both trains depart at 4:00 PM. If you get food from the food truck it will be hot. Unless you eat before you board, you end up eating cold food with no way to reheat. Not a happy camper.

    Auto Train questions from newbie

    Hubby and I are seasoned Auto Train travelers. Hubby is a big/tall dude so getting a sleeper is not an option for us. We travel coach and have found we like the lower level better. There are only 12 seats and way less foot traffic because you cannot go from one car to another. The lower level...

    Last Day of Auto Train Coach Dinner Service today (1/14/20)

    The cafe menu for coach is on the website. A Hebrew National all beef hot dog, a bag of chips and a can of soda will cost you $10.00...and that's some of the lesser expensive items listed. Everything is a la carte. So Amtrak says they have lowered the price for coach, but you will more than...
