Yes
Amfood tends to sandwiches and microwave pizza on short distance trains, standard US stuff like steak, chicken, and pasta on long distance trains. Most long distance trains still have seated diners with waiter service.
The first class section of the Acela express in the northeast has some culinary pretentions, but keep in mind that they think Stella is a premium beer:

I dunno, they're both bland pale lagers made in vast quantities by AB
InBev.
Amtrak also stock some reasonable beers but somehow Stella has managed
to brand itself in the US as sophisticated and upmarket as opposed to
the choice of Flemish lager louts.

Another food, but still SNCF: http://medias.sncf.com/sncfcom/pdf/restauration/Carte_Bar_TGV.pdf

It's the "Artois" attachment which adds the cachet...

Can't have that in the United States, that's "foreign" beer and thus
highly suspicious. Probably made by Mexicans and Moslems.

It's even worse than that -- it's made by Brazilians.
In Canada, the medium distance trains have sandwiches and tray meals,
with an emphasis on Canadian ingredients, e.g. Montreal bagels and
Niagara wine. The sleepers on the transcontinental Canadian are as
good as it gets:

And when we used them Toronto to Montreal they'd run out of food; a ham sandwich (just the one!) was all that was available.

Which as I recall was rather palatable.

The last time I travelled from Brussels to London on E* in Economy the bar-thingy had run out of food. All food. The train was sufficiently
empty, and I buying sufficiently early in the trip, that I suspect
they'd failed to stock it up at all.

Why do they allow that to happen? Don't they take inventories? I would imagine that there must exist some pretty decent inventorising
programmes that would indicate where and when such sundries need to go.

Given that it's operated by SNCF, I'd expect the reverse.

I've been on the ultimate or penultimate departure from Brussels a

I know they do replenish some of the food (maybe only the Premier stuff bundled with the fare) at St Pancras because they have the unfortunate
habit of parking the delivery trollies so as to maximally obstruct the platform for inbound passengers trying to get along the platform having
just got off the train.
