It usually says on the itinerary details and/or on the booking confirmation.

Some airlines will show the information in the “manage your booking†section of their website, possibly with links to the current menu for that flight, though it varies a lot. Which airline are you considering, on what flight or type of flight (short/long haul, domestic/international, red eye...)? Of course class of travel also has an importance...

The time(s) when meals will be served are highly variable not just by airline and route and service class, but, for example, they may be unable to start at the standard time due to turbulence due to the weather and routing on a particular day. I would ask a flight attendant.

As JoErNanO said, this is often printed somewhere on your itinerary, though it usually says little more than something like "Dinner, Breakfast."
Specific menus vary wildly, so airlines don't generally make them available ahead of time. The exceptions are generally low-cost carriers that require you to purchase meals in advance or premium services like Singapore's Book the Cook. Every airline's website should have a page with meal information. When food is available for purchase, more details on the choices may be available (e.g. for United Domestic/Canada/Latin America flights).
Otherwise, you might find some information from online trip reports. A search for your flight number, "trip report," and "economy" or "business" may bring up someone who has written a detailed report on their flight, including meal information. While menus change regularly, this should give you a decent idea of what services to expect and when. Frequent flyers on forums like FlyerTalk sometimes take pictures of their (usually non-economy) meals and post them.
Buying food at the airport to bring on-board is often a more appetizing choice.
