Food opinion aboard the LSL: snack bar is typical Amtrak snack food. The diner has variable food...with the fish dish usually being pretty good, the strak passable, the salad ok, and occasionally, a special creation of the chef. Breakfasts are the best meal of the trip, with bacon/sauage and eggs, French toast, etc. Prices are fair, given the huge costs of running a mobile restaurant. My last trip on the LSL was in mid-December and the food experience was decent.

I had dinner in the LSL back in late February, and the food was quite good. I had the pork chops which were great. Lots of vegetables and pork, so I felt that I got my money's worth. The ride in the Heritage diner alone is worth having a meal in there. Besides, you won't have much else to do, as the sun will have set by then, and there won't be any scenary.

Let me also point out, that if you are travelling in late summer (July, August) the new station MIGHT be open, if everything continues as scheduled. That's a big "if." The new station has more room for retail shops, so maybe there will be another burger king like establishment?
