Before horseless carriages, travelers in Pullman dining cars were treated like royalty and offered a tasty cuisine on fine signature china At Leavenworth's Pullman Place, diners can view souvenir collections of Pullman's best dinnerware and cutlery, while enjoying an equally tasty menu with such modern dishes as Reuben sandwiches.
Besides starters, soups, and salads, the menu offers hot and cold sandwiches, and entrees of fish, chicken, pork, pasta and beef. From the burger section, one can order an Oriental Express, Pioneer Zephyr, Rock Island Line, Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, Missouri Pacific or, finally, a Pullman Burger. There is a separate breakfast menu which includes Pullman Pancakes.
And while the diner is waiting for the order to be filled, s/he can stroll around to view the railroad memorabilia, including a warning to Stay Off Of Tracks. And then, if one uses the ladies restroom, there is also a warning of Please Do Not flush When Train Is In Station.
I had a Reuben sandwich, but next time I go I think I'll try the Pullman Burger, Swiss Cheese and ham on an English muffin, but I'll carry another topping of my own -- caviar!
