Not all have french toast. Sometimes you have to eat pancakes instead, which are also good. enjoy.

I was on both a little over a week ago. French Toast w/b (#6) and pancakes e/b (#5).

Empire Builder last October one morning French Toast, the next morning pancakes.

 

[Henry Kisor]

Same on the California Zephyr in March. French toast on No. 5, pancakes on No. 6. Both excellent. I'm not sure, however, if one was available the first day out and the other the second day out.

The best that I've had was last year on both the EB (PDX-CHI) and the SWC (CHI-LAX) when you could get eggs cooked to order. I had eggs over-easy on both trains but the SWC also had corned-beef hash as a chef's special. The eggs over-easy w/ corned-beef hash made those 'taters much more palatable. The CZ this year only offered either scrambled eggs or the omelet.

Omelette, biscuit, hash brown, and a side of sausage, milk for a beverage. That is my usual Amtrak diner breakfast, depending on availabilty.

The Breakfast Quesidillas or the Quiche they sling on the Texas Eagle from time to time are a great change of pace.

 

[Shawn Ryu]

Not a fan of Amtrak french toast. Maybe its just the oone I had on the Cardinal.

The breakfast quesidillas ARE a great change of pace, IMHO. I had them on the TE a couple of years ago. As much as I like the omelette, I liked a different breakfast entree. I'm not completely inflexible. Most of the time, maybe.

I've had the French Toast on the eastbound Lake Shore Limited (train 48/448), and it was excellent. The best thing in the diner for breakfast is an easy question, though: coffee. Especially when woken by a sprinting coach attendant at 6AM in Cleveland.

I had French Toast on our trip out to MT last summer, then on the return trip day one I had eggs over easy, american fries, bisquit (could of been warmed up), and on day two, I had pancakes since my partner order the last of the french toast they had left.

 

[FriskyFL]

Pancakes were offered on 98 this morning; however I went with the eggs and taters and sausage, DW had the omelette and croissant. Hoping for the opportunity to score some French toast on the return trip next week. We boarded in DFB, our tablemates told us that they didn't start service until shortly before FTL.

Ummm, "yes" it does, or at least it used to. Even on Amtrak. Toast, eggs cooked to order, bacon, hash browns (cut and prepped the night before, or that AM) coffee in a ceramic mug, real 1/2 and 1/2 in a creamer. (not just 2% MILK in the creamer pitcher like I witnessed the staff on the AT do last month.) Linen tablecloth, linen napkins, etc., etc.

EDIT: Oh years ago, we also used to serve REAL syrup, not colored water and sugar.........ughhhhh

The worse breakfast I ever had on Amtrak, was their Bob Evans Breakfast Scramble.

I have eaten breakfast at our local Bob Evens many times, and even had their Breakfast Scramble as served in their restaurants, but what Amtrak served was nothing like it, and was horrible. hboy:

 

[Shawn Ryu]

Amtrak pancakes are quite good, at least ones on Cap Limited.

 

[rtabern]

I was on the Empire Builder this past week with the new menu released May 1st... and you get pancakes one way and french toast the other direction. I usually always get the cheese omlet and grits... so I don't know if the pancakes were on #7 or #8

 

[rtabern]

Not a fan of Amtrak french toast. Maybe its just the oone I had on the Cardinal.

The Cardinal tends to be THE WORST long distance train for food... its because they use convection ovens for everything. The french toast is done that was on #50/51, but done on a griddle on #7/8 and most other trains. Usually I try and eat dinner on both ends of #50 (CHI & NYP) and then eat just breakfast and lunch on the train which isn't too bad when I take it.

 

[benjibear]

When I was on the Crescent, the french toast was quite good and met my expectations. Many places don't make good french toast.

 

[Donctor]

Breakfast on Amtrak certainly is not as good as it was when I was younger. For what they're given to work with, though, I think it's usually quite good.
