Interviewed May 2010 (took 3 weeks)
Submitted my resume online. One week later received a call from HR asking to set up face to face interview with district manager. Had interview one week later. Overall went pretty well, no particularly difficult questions. After about an hour the manager said that I would get a call from HR to set up a job preview. The next week HR called and had me do a preview at a local store the next day.
The preview involved shadowing employees, helping customers and getting a general feel from the job. Received positive feedback and the manager of the store said she expected to see me back soon. Received an email from HR saying they had gone with "other candidates" with no other explanation as to why I did not receive the job. Frustrating experience simply by the fact that all the feedback received was positive and at both the 1:1 interview and preview the managers spoke as if I already had the job.

Interviewed May 2010 in Urbana, IL (took 4 days)
I walked in, asked for an application, filled it out, gave it to the manager. He told me to come back Tuesday at 10:30, ask for Melissa. (This was on Fri, if that makes a difference.)
Came back Tuesday at 10:30, asked for Melissa. I was seated by a waitress, and was asked if I wanted anything to drink. I didn't accept because I wasn't sure if it was going to cost (I didn't have any money, so I didn't want to find out the hard way.
I had to wait for Melissa from 10:20 to 11:45, then the manager, not Melissa, of the store comes out and apologizes for making me wait so long. They couldn't find my application. :\
So I wait another 15 minutes, she finally comes out, apologizes for making me wait. She was very nice overall. It looked like she had hand written interview questions, which I like about an employer, because it shows they're not just reading a script and depending on how well you read the script with them, is how you get the job.
I think the time I spent waiting was probably spent getting my background check, because she then asked about any past offenses. It had been on the application and I said I had been convicted of two felonies. LSS, Steak n Shake's policy is 36 mos before they will hire you if you have a money theft felony. (Yes, I know it was wrong, and no one should ever hire me again, but every one makes mistakes and mine just happened to be a huge one. I'm trying to make up for everything by getting a job and paying back everything that I took. )
Anyway, uh. That was alot longer than I had planned on being. >.>
Hope that helps you at all. :)

Interviewed Aug 2009 (took 3 days)
Two separate one on one interviews, they seemed to ask intense questions, focused on if you were willing to stay in the company, they must have had employee problems in the past, and they weren't exactly secretive about it.

Interviewed Jul 2009 (took a day)
Typical informal restaurant hiring process. Walked in, got an application. Came back to drop off the application, asked to speak with a manager. Managers were busy at that time, so I came back two days later and caught the GM. Got a 20 minute interview talking about my past restaurant experience, was offered a job, and came back for an orientation 2 days later.

Interviewed Jun 2007 (took a day)
I was greeted by several employees. All of the employees seemed very friendly. Many were interested in which job I was interviewing for. I was offered drinks by several. I was given a menu and a piece of paper to figure out the cost of several different meals. I guess I passed since i ended up getting the job.
