dinner hour

When families eat

Dinner hour is the time of day when dinner is typically eaten, usually late afternoon to early evening depending on cultural and regional norms.

The phrase often implies a protected or expected time: Don't call during the dinner hour.

It can stretch beyond sixty minutes despite the name.
