Do you go to lunch, or do you go for lunch?

Both are used. Go for lunch is going for food, whilst go to lunch is the break itself. However you will hear both said interchnagably.

It would depend on how the question is formed. These are all possible in north America English:
* What time are you taking lunch?
* Let's have/ do lunch next week.
* What time do you normally [go to lunch]/ [break for lunch ] / [take your lunch

dimsumexpressWhat time are you taking lunch?

I think that in the States we use "have" more than "take", which usually means that we carry the food with us from home to the work place.

Scenario:
I am on vacation visitng San Francisco where an old friend lives. I called him at work at 9 in the morning wanting to have lunch with him, but I understand his lunch time is not fixed. So I asked "What time are you taking lunch today ?".
