Arrive early.... 20 minutes minimum
Be prepared to answer questions (What difference would you make for this company? Tell me about yourself. etc)
DO NOT RAMBLE!!!!! (Don't applogize excessively. Try not to period. Confidence my man).
Good luck. Be confident.

Consider what you would answer as your strengths/weaknesses. Why would you like this particular job? Answering I just need a job is not a good answer, take a look at their homepage/advertising and figure how you would fit in and how you could contribute to the company is better. Good Luck! Stay cool!
Ask really thoughtful questions that prompt introspection. As an example, when I interviewed for my current position one of the questions I asked one of my interviewers was how the values of the company aligned with theirs. I've found that people generally enjoy thinking and/or answering "difficult questions" about themselves that require careful consideration. Obviously tie it into the context of the job/career and if you're not genuinely interested at least feign interest when asking it.

I was probably gonna wear a button up and khakis, maybe a tie. The company attire isn't too formal, just polo shirts and pants. I don't think I need to wear a suit.

I've already talked to them over the phone and they asked questions like that. I feel like I did pretty good, but was still a little nervous.

At the end of the interview, they'll ask if you have any questions. Try to have at least one. I usually ask like, what would you say is the ideal candidate for the position? Do you have any questions about my application? When can I expect to here from you next?
