    Great service. The bartender Tracy is super friendly and makes the place awesome when it is slow. I come here for darts. There are free pool days twice a week and a some pool leagues that happen here. Just ask Tracy and she will get you up to speed on the ins and outs ;)

    I thought I just put this on here because it looks cool even the logo is cool

    Want to update review now that we've been several times! This place is so fun! We come weekly now…read morefor the food and a drink at the bar. Fork rinds, (pork rinds forked up with their own seasoning) are to die for! So yummy! Sweet potato fries...same, delicious! Smoked meats are incredible! Service is also top notch! We usually sit at the bar and always have fun. The wait staff are all super friendly and accommodating. We usually have a beer. I love Cali Squeeze,as previously noted, but recently had a prickly pear lemon drop martini**YUM** While there, noticed a barrel on bar back, and heard about the new trial run of aging Jameson Whiskey in this oak barrel and how it smooths it out nd adds oak flavor.....HAD TO TRY! Now you've heard...it's amazing! Super quaint ambiance and clean restaurant. Locals are fun and friendly. Happy hour with specialty drink of the day. I highly recommend trying! You'll be back!

    Another first! This time, Fork and Fire. This cool little spot with a sports bar feel originally…read morestarted as a food truck and they were awesome back then so let's see about now. A warm greeting up entering, always a plus. It wasn't all that busy for a Saturday afternoon, I'm thinking we missed the lunch rush and the pregame final four rush. Perfect timing. We started with the Pulled pork/mac and cheese balls. Delicious pulled pork mixed with Mac and cheese rolled in cribs and deep fried to a golden brown served on top of cheese sauce and green onion garnish. What a special treat perfect opening appetizer. My son and I both had the three meat plate with pulled pork, brisket and beef sausage. It was served with an outstanding tangy coleslaw, a pretty darn good piece of cornbread and I had the baked beans which were perfectly sweet although very slightly dry. The pulled pork was flavorful, juicy and melted in your mouth. Paired with the tangy bbq sauce it was a treat that was hard to beat. The beef sausage, most people would have said was burnt, but let me tell you, that is how the ends of sausage should be. Great beefy flavor, well seasoned. The beef brisket had ONE good quality, it was juicy, after that is where it went completely down hill. ZERO flavor, none, it was extremely thin, almost 50/50 meat to fat cap ratio. No smoke flavor, no seasoning, nothing. Almost like it was boiled to tenderness. This is where this review went from 5 stars to 4. Brisket is meant to be heavily seasoned and put in the smoker. All in all Fork and Fire still puts out great food although be prepared to pay. Over $100 for lunch for 2 with tip. But with beef what it is today it's getting harder and harder to find good deals. A- Happy eating

A number of my favorite foods are only on the Happy Hour (3 to 6) menu including Mac & Cheese, Nachos and a perfectly crisped Cheese Crisp like nothing in town. Staff can get overly busy and officious, but are responsive and kind, if not friendly.

    I was happy to finally visit *the* brewery of Southern Arizona. I know there are certainly…read morecompetitors, but outside of Tucson, this is the only Tucson beer around. It's even better when you get it straight from the source. What I love: An expanded selection of small-batch beers you won't find anywhere else. There were like 3 IPAs I'd never heard of before. They even had a lager made with pickles! (not my thing, but it has fans). You can also tell right away this spot is great for large groups, and the patio is like 50 feet long--probably amazing in better weather What I like: You can't go wrong with the food, either. I'm a big fan of the southwestern egg rolls (a better rendition of them than a certain chain restaurant). The sandwiches are decent. Nothing really sticks out as a signature item, and nothing is made with a particular beer pairing in mind, but I'll forgive them--it's solid food. When it cools down a bit, I'll certainly return here to try more lesser-known beers and a snack. The location is a little out of the way, but you won't regret going a couple miles outside of downtown for this.

    I decided to revisit Trident, as it has been a few years. I usually go to another establishment,…read morebut we all need to venture out of our usual places now and again. I was greeted by the bartender who was SUPER friendly and made me feel very welcome. There were others at the bar that asked if I needed a seat at the bar. Very cool vibe. Sports bar vibe....with a family friendly place as well. The second bartender that relived the first one was..nice and friendly, but I did not get that "happy your here "feeling. I ordered the HH cod tacos with slaw, avocado lime sauce, and salsa. They were so good!! The blend of the fresh fish with the slaw....YUMMY. The fish was perfectly cooked. Crisp and not greasy, and so flavorful. I wondered why they delivered a bunch of napkins and ....a few bites in I realized. All over the face, and dripping down the chin....good!! :-) I got a burger to go, with added green chilies. I asked for rare, and I got medium to medium well. Sad panda, but it is still a good burger. I just really love to taste the burger at a rare temp. I also asked for a cup of the gumbo. My first bite was SO salty. I don't know if it was in storage or not fresh, but it was a salt lick. Could not taste the flavor past the saltiness. Good locals place, and prices are reasonable. I appreciate a Veteran owns the establishment and since I am a Veteran as well....I will always support Veteran owned!!

    Been here twice in two months - once during a weekday happy hour and once on a Saturday night…read more Different staff both times but the vibe was the same: annoyed that we came in at all, and apathetic at best. Two visits doesn't make a pattern. But so far my experience is that you can walk in at any time and receive the same dismissive attitude. To be clear, I don't necessarily fault the individuals - this is typically a management issue (coming from someone who has worked behind the bar). Bottom line, a simple hello goes a long way, just sayin. Our business favors those who realize their patrons have options. FWIW this is my first-ever "negative" review. In any state. Take that for what it is. If I don't like a place, I just don't go back. But there's a missed opportunity here, y'all. We went to a different Trident in Tucson and met the best server ever, no lie. IV, please get it together and we'll come back.

I will say it did take a little while to get service at first, but honestly the incredible view and perfect weather made it easy to just relax and enjoy the moment while we waited. They started us off with warm sourdough bread and butter, which was the perfect touch. I ordered the prime rib sandwich on sourdough with au jus, and it was absolutely delicious, super flavorful and cooked perfectly. I also got the strawberry vanilla margarita with a sugar rim, and WOW... easily one of the best drinks I've had. So good. My grandparents each ordered the prime rib sliders without the bun with a loaded baked potato and made their own yummy creations, which they loved. The view was amazing and really made the whole experience, and our waitress, Paulina, was so kind and attentive once we got going. Definitely recommend if you're looking for great food, drinks, and a beautiful atmosphere!

For dinner, I ordered the New York strip with a loaded baked potato. I'm pretty familiar with New York strips, and for the price, I didn't feel like the quality of the cut was quite there. It was missing that classic fat cap that New York strip fans love. I also ordered it medium rare, but unfortunately it came out closer to medium well, if not well done. The loaded baked potato was good, but nothing particularly stood out. I also ordered the whiskey peppercorn sauce, and it looked like it may have been sitting out at room temperature for quite a while. The top had formed a solid layer, which wasn't very appetizing and definitely took away from the experience. Service also took a while. I completely understand that this isn't fast food and that good meals take time, but for the amount of time we waited, I don't think the quality of the food matched the wait. The cheesecake, however, was easily the best thing I ate that night. It was amazing, and the portion size was great as well. Overall, the beautiful atmosphere and incredible cheesecake were the highlights, but the steak, sauce, and wait time left quite a bit of room for improvement.
