Interviewed Jan 2012 in Oklahoma City, OK (took 2 days)
First interview took about 30 minutes. Managers from foh and boh, take turns interviewing you for 7 minutes. Questions cover basic serveing scenarios, and personality questions like what would you consider a flaw of your personality. I believe they put alot of weight on the initial online personality profile. The second interview really just consisted of offering the job. From what I understand you are informed immediately after the first interview if your hired or get a second interview. I wasn't called back for over a week and was offered a server job instead of bartender. It's a new store opening and they wanted to offer me a chance to go through training in anticipation of bar staff turnover. Very thorough interview and you can tell they know what they are looking for.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Dallas, TX (took 3 days)
I first had a phone interview with the company and then they set up a group interview in which I interviewed with three other people. The interview was fairly basic, just asked me about my experiences, explained the job, asked what I would do in various situations, and then asked me to sell them on Dave and Busters. After the interview they ask to you take a two hour skills test and personality test.

Interviewed Dec 2010 (took 3 days)
The process consisted of three interviews with three different managers.
I applied online, the next day received a call to come for the first interview. The manager was very friendly, looked over my resume and the application, asked a little about my work history, but mostly just told me about the company and the job duties. Also let me know about the 3-step interview process and scheduled the second interview.
The second interview was two days later, with a different manager. We sat down and she asked me a lot of work-related situations questions, as well as personality questions. Took a lot of notes to my every answer. Asked about my previous jobs, my job duties and why I left. At the end of the interview she said that she'd give my information to the actual hiring manager who's going to call me and schedule the final interview.
The third interview was VERY detailed and extremely thorough. Asked me what I know about the company, why I want to work there; frowned upon me being unemployed for 4 months, asked Why; again, some situational questions. Very thorough interview all in all. At the end he basically said that if I don't hear from them by the next day, I'm out. That's when I knew I didn't make it. He did say that one of his concerns was that I didn't seem "tough enough" to handle rowdy crowds, which is not true.
I think one of my mistakes was that I was pretty nervous and not confident enough. I will definitely work on that in my future job search.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Dallas, TX (took 3 weeks)
It was a nice inteview process. The "test" whatever it was - IQ, Personality, Skill Assesment, maybe all of the above was challenging but not impossible. I would definiately recommend anyone who is contacted to go ahead and interview. Every one i worked with was very reasonable and easy-going.
