Heading to Dallas/Fort Worth end of Jan. on TE. Wondering what menu

[lionelhoguy]

I was doing some research for our trip in January. I found two menus for the Texas Eagle. I am kind of hoping the first one is the right one, I really liked the braised beef.

The link to the first one is:

The link to the second one is:

The TE 0916 Menu seems to be the current menu for the Texas Eagle. which is also the same menu found on most of the other DC.

The second one is the correct one, unfortunately.

Eggs (breakfast) and steak (dinner) are cooked from scratch. Most of the other selections are precooked and frozen before being reheated again before serving. Many of the previous menu selections have been removed but just for curiosity's sake I calculated the change in prices for a few of the items that remain.

If you are traveling in a sleeper your meals in the diner (including desert) would be included (no alcohol)

I believe the first link is to an outdated TE web page.

I believe the second link is the current TE Dining Car Menu, which is the common menu for all the western Long distance Amtrak trains.

Scroll down to TE Ding Car menu - https://www.amtrak.com/texas-eagle-train

On the Coast Starlight there are 2 menus. One for the Dining Car and one for the Pacific Parlour Car (PPC).

Actually the Coast Starlight PPC has a northbound menu and a southbound menu.

That is a bummer. I think we will enjoy our trip anyway. Any suggestion for stuff to do and eat in the Dallas Fort Worth area? Any good train museums within an hours drive?

Bob Evans was kicked off the train long before fresh flowers left the table. That first menu is more than several years out of date, just waiting to disappoint somebody who sees it on line.

That menu looks better than the one on the second picture.

I really miss Bob Evans...and the fresh flowers.
