I would suggest borrowing some real pants if you don't have anything but jeans. The interview is your first impression and if your first impression is that you don't meet the dress code at Uno's, its not going to go well from there. Try to dress nicely to make a good first impression and it will be a lot better off. They will notice if you are wearing jeans.

if you are applying for a management position do not under any circumstances wear jeans but if you are applying for cook or waitstaff position the jeans will suffice but do not wear tennis shoes unos is pretty casual but tennis shoes are a deal breaker
know a lot about the company know a good reason for wanting to join their team know what your goals for the future are know how to work with the public smile make eye contact be 15 min early and look over a menu while you wait if you can be sure to thank the interviewer and shake their hand at the end of the interview be confident

Jeans are usually considerate inappropriate for a job interview, but if they are all you have, by all means wear them. Unos is a casual restaurant, by most standards, and if you dress up your jeans, you should be fine. Please no sneakers of tee shirts. Do you own a nice jacket or sweater ? For the interview, I suggest arriving promptly, have you application filled out neatly, don't chew gum, and sit up straight. Approach the manager with a nice smile and a light, but firm handshake. Make some eye contact, but don't stare.Know a little about the company, and express a desire to advance within it. You'll do fine!!

No jeans for an interview. Like everyone is saying, invest in a pair of nice slacks. Borrow one, if you cannot afford to buy.
Maybe the only place it might be fine to wear jeans to an interview is if you're going to work for a jeans shop.

No. It would be ideal to wear a suit as the interviewer may interpret this as meaning you have made an effort, some individuals are like that. Wear your best and no one can say anything against you, I have stuck with suits to show I am serious and knowledgeable even when I know I have less to show for than the opposition, answer questions with care and don't sit with a poor posture even if the interviewer hints that everyone can be casual.

As long as you are neat and clean I don't see why not. Just be yourself. Listen and look attentive. Always look your interviewer in the eyes. Answer yes and no sir or ma'am. Have a positive attitude. Don't go in there saying you don't need a waitress do you. Go in saying I am here for the job. I want to work. I can start right now, today. And don't start an interview off telling your future employer what hours or days you can or can't work. You work what they give you and be thankful for it. Good luck !!!!!!

Don't wear jeans. When people see other people wearing jeans, even a nice pair, their first impression is that the person just rolled out of bed and put on the first thing they could find. That's what I would think. Jeans will always be considered casual.

No jeans. I have what I call my "official interview suit." It is black pants and tailored jacket, black heels, and a blue, silk blouse. I wear it only to job interviews and sometimes funerals. Maybe you could swing by Wal-Mart and purchase some nice slacks before you go for the interview. Good luck.

You should be trying to make a good impression, and I don`t think showing up in a pair of jeans will do any thing to help it.
I would think you should have one nice dress or business suit you could wear. If not, how about borrowing one.
You are just going to get one chance and that will probably be a short time one to make a good impression, and maybe be hired.

Generally no. If they are a very dark wash, fit well and have straight legs possibly if it's all you have. But if you do, wear a jacket and nice shoes with it. Some accessories can make it look more upscale and take attention away from the jeans.
