Grilled Chicken Orzo (looked terrible but tasted fine), fruit, and a really delicious piece of cheesecake for dinner today EWR-SFO, plus I got to sit in the new Premium Plus seat.
They passed out KIND bars near the end of the flight too.

AUA-EWR in E+.
Lacking several BOB options, and not a single beer of any kind available. FA admitted they only cater the flight from EWR-AUA, and if they run out the return flight is SOL. She checked up front in First but they were out of beer also.
You can't treat a 1K to a drink if you don't cater any drinks!

Simple answer No. There are ways if you have the right access to data but nothing an average customer can do.
However, when booking, it should state a meal or a snack or ..... So you have access to the information at booking. (although occansional errors have been reported).

Currently on UA 1460 EWR-LAX on 787-10 and the entire Economy section was served a decent hot meal of pasta (meat & meatless), but no General Tso as mentioned upthread!
When did UA started serving full dinner in Economy on domestic transcon like this? If this done on certain flights like this EWR-LAX run? I’ve seen this done in Economy on international flights but not on domestic.

Yep! Spoke to the FA and she told me exactly that - E+ only as people in E- still have to deal with BOB.
Seems like people sitting in E+ can get all the alcoholic beverages free of charge as well, nice!
Wow, why can't United offer this on all flights for E+ customers? Delta does this in Comfort Plus !

Anyway, to the general point, this is one thing I find consistently frustrating about flying with UA. If the block time is anywhere between 2h and 4h I don't feel confident I know what will be boarded.

True but the 3 hour cutoff for BoB is the same three hour cutoff for all day (until 8PM) meals for F. So for pre-4PM, F meals and BoB are the same 3 hour metric.

But they deviate from the snack/meal label and the 3h-Bistro/no criterion on some (high-revenue?) routes, and at least I find it becomes hard to predict. I haven't been able to figure if the Bistro meals go with the F meal deviations -- I think they may --- or if they have their own deviations. At least, as far as I've noticed, the deviations are always to the more-generous direction, i.e. (F) meals when labeled snack or (Y) Bistro when not 3h.

3/5 UA179 - EWR-HKG Hunan Chicken with standard United Economy sides. Other choice was stir fried teriyaki vegetables with noodles.
3/5 UA179- EWR-HKG Pesto omelette with sausage. Actually more protein than dinner. Pretty good option. Other choice was pancakes.
3/7 UA252 - HNL-IAH Brioche cheeseburger Beef patty and fontina cheese on a brioche bun.
Served with Sir Kensington's ketchup, mustard and chipotle mayonnaise on the side. Lettuce, tomato and pickles available upon request. Not bad.
