Are “working interviews” normal? (US)

It is in the restaurant industry and it is in the back of the house (the kitchen). Your “interview” is 2 hours long. You are basically working like chopping, getting stuff, preparing orders, etc alongside with people that are already working there. The manager isn’t observing this interview but when you are done, you tell them if you like the position or not. If you like it, you got the job. Is this normal? Edit: I feel like that is a lot of time to give to an interview and providing free labor. Or am I way off?
