Amtrak Dining car menus are found here:

http://www.amtrak.com/pdf/Dining_Car_Menu.r5.pdf

Note: this link will open a pdf file.

Your train will use one of the "menu cycles", all of which are similar. Lounge car fare is not listed here, but is also available if you don't want a full meal.

I usually pack a little rolling suit case with some snacks. i buy my diet pepsi , tea , coffee stuff like that on the train. i bring like wheat thins, crackers,raisins,granola bars, stuff like that . my dd and friend like the hot dog,pizza and a few other things at the snack part of the train. other wise our first trip with both dd, a pack of M&M or a pack of 4 choc chip cookies was like $1.75. i couldnt believe it. that was our first trip. i know alot of people bring coolers with juice , etc. but coming from Dedham, Ma. its to much for us. we usually stop in NY or WASH. which we will eat lunch and walk around a little. They also have muffins, sandwiches and stuff at the snack car. it does close for a while sometimes., so if you can you should bring a few snacks with you . let us know how everything went when you get back. oh yeah, have a GREAT trip.

my advise pack a cooler with your own food
when we did it the food was expensive and not that great
