The interview at Joe's Crab Shack is pretty simple. They ask basic questions about customer service, when you can work, and how you work with others. It's a relaxed atmosphere, not much pressure, and it's a fast process. They care more about your personality and if you're willing to work hard than if you have a lot of experience.
