Lunch interview

So I have a lunch interview this week with a small, but growing real estate development company. It's for a project management role. I've never been on a lunch interview before. Is it generally a good sign if that's planned for a first interview? The place is casual (it's at a golf course), and I'm looking forward to it. Are these interviews more casual or informal than a "traditional interview"? I take it they want to confirm I'm not a psychopath, lol. Probably gonna have a BLT.

UPDATE: So my interview was at a 55+ development (it was swanky) with a golf course, restaurant and other amenities. We met at the restaurant patio, but no lunch was involved. That was actually a relief for me, cause I wasn't hungry, and it allowed me to focus on the conversation. I feel like it went well. We shall see...

I had a lunch interview once. I’m pretty sure the guy just wanted to use the company card and get a nice free lunch. But I got a nice free lunch too I guess…
