I live in Atlanta and have been riding the Crescent for years. I assure you they serve dinner out of Atlanta unless they are hours late. The diner opens before ATL then closes while the train is stopped in the station in ATL. Then it and the lounge re-open. Lots of people board in ATL so it is quite crowded. They do serve lunch into NYC the next day.
Coming south, same thing, they close before Washington then re-open after WAS to a large crowd. Though this is a New Orleans to New York train, its biggest draw is between WAS and ATL and they certainly do eat.
