I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Red Robin (Hurst, TX) in Jan 2013
Interview
very quick and to the point. if you have experience they will most likely hire you. also dress nicely. show confidence in your skills. keeping eye contact is key. its just a one on one maybe two on one talk with some simple yes or no questions. really nothing tough at all. be ready to accept because there is an orientation that will most likely start with in the week. so be prepared to make adjustments to go to the training class they provide.
I applied online. I interviewed at Red Robin (Towson, MD) in May 2026
Interview
It was nice, very smooth and the manager was kind. They made it easy for me despite my nervousness. I didn’t take the offer because the job itself didn’t feel right but it was an alright environment to say the least.
I interviewed with two different managers, both of them emphasize it being very competitive. Basically just asking for serving experience and if I am able to upsell guests other than that and the red flags I'd say it's easy with experience.
Two person interview, very chill, simple basic questions and I felt very comfortable with them talking and doing the interview with me. It was super easy to get an interview, they called me.
