Interviewed Apr 2010 in Las Vegas, NV (took 2 weeks)
You fill out the application on a specific day. They will tell you when to come back and at that time you can take a personality/cognitive skill, that is basically composed of figuring out work-schedules and that sort of thing.

It was at the second interview. The first interview is with the specific department manager, the second is with the restaurant manager, at that one they tell you how much you want and such.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Huntington, WV (took a day)
A manager first sits with you when you drop by to ask to apply for a job, they ask you basic questions like when you are available, how old you are, and if you ever worked in a restaurant. If they are interested in you they will schedule you for a one on one interview and you also have to take a math test. Then they may do a reference check.

Interviewed Feb 2009 in Morgantown, WV (took 2 days)
Rather informal interview during the opening of the restaurant. I had initially applied for a Server position, but the request was sidestepped and they offered a kitchen position. I interviewed with a manager, then the General Manager on two separate days. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
It's an hourly position, so if you have availability restrictions, stick to them. I was tested on several occasions on this point. Rate is not highly negotiable, but you may be able to squeeze an extra $0.50 out of them.
Other Details
The interview consisted of an IQ/Intelligence Test, a Skills Test, a Personality Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed May 2009 (took 3 days)
Process started with a Talent Acquisition person calling you and doing a preliminary. Then they set up an interview with a Director of Operations (manages multiple Red Lobsters). If you pass that, you come back for a second and then he/she gives you an assessment test. If you pass, they do a background & drug test and then if that comes back clean they offer you a job.

Interviewed May 2009 in Sugar Land, TX (took 3 days)
I was grouped with a few other candidates, we were interviewing for various positions (waitstaff, bartender, host) We did a few menu tests, interviews with the gm, and for the most part it was easier because you had people going through the same process as you.

Interviewed Oct 2010 (took 2 days)
First, when you turn in an application, go between the hours of 2pm-4pm on Monday-Thursday. This is when the lunch hour is over and before the dinner begins. Be very friendly to everyone you come into contact with. And smile!
That same night I received a phone to come in for an interview the next day. The manager was very nice and made me feel comfortable, not nervous. We sat at a table in the back of the restaurant. I was asked about 10 questions. These question were about costumer service, previous employment job description, and general question about yourself.
After this they will send you on your way and call back if they're interested in hiring you.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Oxnard, CA (took a day)
I got to the interview 10 minutes early to make sure I'd be on time, the host led me to a table and gave me the tip "smile a lot". I waited at the table for the interviewing manager for about 10/15 min which was kind of annoying.
The woman interviewing me was exceptionally nice, making me feel at ease and making it easier to forget about the long wait. Her questions weren't typical "tell me about yourself, or what are strengths/weaknesses". She went on to give me several senarios on what goes on in the restaurant and I had to answer on how I would react and what I would do.
A fairly simple process, relaxed and very professional. But beware, if it is busy the interview will take a long time, because if you pass the first part she will want to give you a personality test, which is 170 quesitons, all easy but you feel it is kind of a waste.
Just remember to smile :)

Interviewed Mar 2008 (took 1 week)
You go in and apply. They will look over the application and then send a manager out. NExt you will sit down with the manager and talk for a little bit where they will ask you a little bit about yourself. If you pass this you will take a personality test which is very easy.
This whole thing is a breeze.
