Flew EWR to HNL in F a couple of days ago. The website shows lunch being served in F, yet they served breakfast after we left EWR at 9.30am and then a snack (cheeseburger) prior to landing in HNL. Having just flown from MCO to EWR to catch the HNL flight where they served breakfast on the MCO flight, two UA breakfasts in morning is just too much.

Cheezboorger is a lunch entree on United. Sometimes it's even a dinner menu item. Sounds like you got two hot meals in one flight, which is pretty good by domestic catering standards, such as they are these days.

"Dinner Service" on UVF - EWR
I returned from St. Lucia yesterday (Saturday, 11/16) in paid Business Class on United 1643 UVF - EWR, 3:38 PM departure. The flight was marked as a dinner service. When the flight attendant came around to ask for our selections, she apologized and said that it looks like the flight was catered as a "snack" service. She told us to write into United, but before I do so I thought that I would solicit some feedback from the FlyerTalk community. I attached a picture, so please let me know what you think. If this is the dinner service of the new United, I think I'll save my money and forgo the extra expensive of First/Business class. Thanks for your feedback.

I'm not buying that one. If they wanted to double cater a real meal at EWR, they could. They simply don't want to. As an example, AA has no catering in PIT, but double caters from DFW even LAX. From my recent PIT-LAX flight, this delicious meal had been on board for more than 7 hours before it was served.

Catering errors do happen, and since this is a 4+ hr flight I would assume a Dinner would be served (since it shows it as Dinner flight)
In your profile you show you are a 1K with UA, so you should be aware of miss catered flights, it does happen from time to time, and it can be a let down.
So being 1K with UA why did you purchase a FC ticket, why not use a SWU or miles?
