6-7 is average. We have two young boys, so too late and we bump into bed time. They both also play baseball, so this time of year (and spring) we have practices and games that often throw off that schedule. Sometimes dinner is at 430 so we can get to games. Other days it’s at 9pm after a game.
Don’t even ask me if they’re getting to bed on time! 🤦ðŸ½

5-7 generally…closer to 5:30-6 at the GFs house…and closer to 7 if I’m at my parents house.
Whenever I cook for my parents, they’ll suggest that they want to eat around 5:30 or so. I will of course plan accordingly…and begin at the appropriate time. This will inevitably be changed at some point, or several… "Can we eat a little later..?" Sheesh
I prefer to eat earlier rather than later. So does my GF…so we usually aim for around 5:30. I try to do the same in my travels. And unless I’m actively doing something…concerts/Vegas/clubs/sports/etc…I will not eat after 8. I figure I’m not going to starve if I miss a meal and won’t feel like a beached whale for eating too late.
