Yes, several times. Here's one from just a week ago.

They get around it by essentially claiming it is a gendered position. Kind of like Disneyland can hire only women to play Cinderella. Essentially the "theming" requires that the servers be women.

The EEOC filed suit against them back in the mid-90s and appaerntly didn't come out on top. I don't believe any later privately filed suits have had any success.
