As of 9/21:
Flights under 900 miles
Flights over 2,200 miles* / over 4.5 hours
**Some domestic and short-haul international flights will include a fruit and cheese plate instead of tray meal service and will also have snack basket service before landing.
cmd320 notation (unofficial): the 2,200mi + section for F and J is a bit misleading. Domestic flights within the continental US other than premium transcons (JFK-LAX/SFO, MIA-LAX on 77W) do not receive a full meal and instead only see a sandwich/fruit and cheese plate.

These should both be a sandwich/cheese and fruit plate option. No full, plated meal.

For AM meals you will get a choice of likely a cheese plate or small continental breakfast. I think AA will serve the sandwich option from about 11AM on.

My upgrade just cleared 48 hours out. So, now I have the same question, but I'll be sitting in J.

Have done this trip many times and catering keeps getting mixed up. 10 am means the flight is supposed to be catered as lunch but several times now, the onboard menu lists breakfast so the cabin crew has to explain that the entrees options are for lunch, not breakfast.

So I realize I am probably a day early, but hopefully with the re-opening of Hawaii tourism tomorrow it won't take long to get an answer. I know DFW-HNL is getting a reasonably "normal" level of service in F, but how about the narrowbody service out of PHX-HNL? From my reading of the website I would assume they are getting meals and even bedding, however on a sample booking for next month it just says "refreshments," same as any other narrowbody domestic First flight lately. AA isn't really sending a plane to Hawaii for 7 hours with just a cheese plate are they?
