Americans Are Eating Dinner Earlier And EarlierDinner Table Eating GIF by Xyngular

The early bird special isn’t just for seniors anymore.
More Americans are eating dinner earlier, opting to eat their final meal of the day between 5 and 6pm.
Even the number of dinner reservations made for between 2 and 5pm have doubled since 2019.
Americans are ordering takeout and delivery earlier, too. Grub Hub’s dinner peak is now between 5 and 7pm.
States like Maine and Pennsylvania dine the earliest, at around 5:40pm while Washington, DC residents dine the latest, just after 7:30pm.
The biggest factor in these earlier dinners? More people are working from home, allowing for more flexible dining hours.
