The Traveling Hillbilly is Officially Full!

You should not go hungry on the train.  They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner and there is also a snack bar where you can grab light snacks, drinks etc.   As soon as you've come back to your room from one meal, they are coming by asking what time you want to have the next.  My friend and I feel like we booked a cruise with all these constant feedings.

I know I mentioned this in an earlier post, but for those who book sleeping cars all your meals are included, you only have to pay for alcohol and any other snacks.   Aside from breakfast, I don't think we've gone to any meals where we were actually hungry!   We're usually still full from the prior meal.

There are options, not a ton of variety, but a little something for everyone.  For the most part, it's hot food.   For lunch there's a burger, veggie burger, salad and a couple of other hot items.  For dinner, there's pasta, chicken, steak, salmon, or the sea and land combo.  So again, not a huge amount of choice, but enough for most anyone to find something.   They also have a few dessert options, cheesecake, chocolate turtle cake, vanilla pudding, and flourless chocolate tart.   Now the menus may vary by train route or season, but these were the main options on both the Empire Builder and the Coast Starlight trains we took.

We never ended a day hungry!
