I ride the Texas Eagle from Taylor, TX to Dallas and back approximately eight to ten times a year. I like to have lunch in the dinning car going and coming. It is a train thing to do. The food on the Eagle is OK most of the time.  But not all the time! On my last trip I passed up eating in the dinner and instead opted for a turkey and cheese sandwich, along with a Diet Coke, in the lounge car.  The sandwich was excellent, and it cost four or five dollars less than the veggie burger in the dinner. And a Diet Coke is a Diet Coke is a Diet Coke. If Amtrak discontinued dinning cars and upgraded the food selection in the lounge car, I would be a happy camper irrespective of whether I was traveling from Taylor to Dallas or Taylor to LA.  Now I do insist on a glass of wine or two with my evening meal. And Amtrak serves a reasonably good drop providing one is not a connoisseur. On another note, I have taken the Acela from NYC to Philadelphia or Washington three times. I did not eat on the train, and I did not observe anyone in my car race to the bistro car for anything substantial. Coffee and a roll seemed to be the choice of most passengers.  Don't know about the folks in first class. I suspect most business travelers on the Acela wait until they get to their destination and opt for a meal in a good restaurant, or they eat at a good restaurant before boarding the train.
