I've been a slave at a Chili's restaurant for about a year now. I have yet to find a comfortable pair of nonslip shoes.
I've actually only ordered food from chili's a few times in my life. It's hard to say because most of their food seems pretty unhealthy.
According to the nutritional info on their website, the big mouth bites have 1790 calories, and 111 grams of fat. Another popular item is the crispy honey-chipotle chicken crispers, totaling 1700 calories, 77 grams of fat and 57 grams of sugar.
Other dishes in this calorie range include the bacon ranch steak quesadillas (about 1790 calories and 139 grams of fat) skillet queso appetizer, texas cheese fries, southern smokehouse burger, and too many other items to list.
(I'm assuming that the sides for each menu item is included in the calorie amount.)
you can take a look for yourself:

I've actually never worked at Applebee's or Friday's. But they all seem like really similar restaurants with really similar items, so it's likely they are run almost the same. Also it probably depends on the managers
I've actually never seen anything really gross in the kitchen.

I don't ever remember being hit on by customers. Most of the people I see come in as couples or families. Although the busser at my job is a middle aged guy, and he was really creepy towards me for a while. I started acting mean and he stopped!
I think they were desperate to hire employees. Actually I feel like Chili's (at least the one I work at) is more of an entry level restaurant. They are willing to take people without experience and teach them how to be a server. As long as you are a good person without a criminal background and are willing to learn and get better, you will probably be fine.
Sorry for the late response BTW, I hope they hired you!
