The good news: portion sizes are quite large, and their fries are wonderful. The bad news: be careful before ordering an appetizer, you probably won't finish your entree. We had to try the deep fried pickles (excellent, they are spears not chips), but I had to leave most of my fries behind. Also be aware that the sound level can be pretty high making it hard to carry on a conversation without shouting. Service was snappy and efficient - our drinks were kept full. Atmosphere is bar-like with a see-through kitchen. My wife had the fish & chips - excellent. I had the Captain's platter which is a little bit of everything. The shrimp were to die for. The one downside is everything came fried in the same batter & oil, so everything starts to kinda taste the same. We'll be back the next time we get a craving for deep-fried seafood! read more

Went on a Saturday for lunch, UOfA basketball on, not why we went! Staff at door, barely acknowledged us. Sat at the bar and bartender wouldn't even make eye contact. No social skills in this younger generation! Sad!! Food was bland and uneventful! Unfortunate, it has been good in the past. The atmosphere of this location also feels very sterile. I doubt we will return! read more

We made a reservation for 10 but when we showed up they had no idea what we were talking about, and no table for us! Apparently no one wrote it down and "it was an honest mistake," but saying you're sorry and that you can split us into 3 booths instead (?!?!!), is not enough to make up for promising 10 people a table together and then letting us down. You could at least have offered a round of drinks or appetizers for our trouble. I'm glad your customers mean that much to you. So we went to the Italian place next door, sat together and had a great time! If you really appreciate your customers and let them down so badly, do something about it! read more

I decided to revisit Trident, as it has been a few years. I usually go to another establishment, but 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. 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!! read more

If you appreciate pub-style cuisine, this establishment might be to your liking. This was our initial visit, and I do not anticipate a return. We found everything to be excessively salty, and the food did not seem fresh in the slightest. None of us enjoyed our meals. My husband's fish and chips were not palatable at all. My mother's shrimp platter was overcooked, and her fries were also too salty. My Philly Cheesesteak did not meet my expectations based on my previous experiences with the dish. Additionally, my sweet potato fries were overly salted. We have no personal complaints regarding our server, as her service was excellent. The place is small and needs an upgrade on furniture. read more

After a recent high school football playoff game our group of three was looking for a place to eat before driving back to Phoenix. We were very hungry and needed an open kitchen and open till midnight. Trident Grill IV gave us both! Being relatively late the place was not crowded at all with four patrons in the whole place. The bartender and our waitress worked well together and were very friendly and open to talk since it wasn't crowded. The dining area and bar are seamless and not huge so it is easy to imagine this place packed on game days for NFL, NBA, or college sports. Pretty diverse menu for a sports bar that didn't just follow typical pub grub staples. My friends got Fish and chips (2 large pieces of cod) and BLT that was very large in portion on Texas Roast. I went with the Maui Wowy burger that was great. This burger had a lot of flavors going on from the burger to the bacon, then the kalua pork, teriyaki, and pineapple kicked it up a notch (though not a big pineapple fan on anything the sweet did taste really good all together in each bite). Each plate came with a generous portion of fries and we all left satisfied. At the End of the Day Trident gave us a great meal on the way home and while nothing noteworthy (though my burger was excellent) we appreciated the service and full menu so late. In a side note this is definitely a Green Bay Packers watering hole if you are looking to gather with other cheese heads! read more

The HH menu has a delightful selection of tasty dishes. I would recommend the buttermilk chicken tenders. I was expecting small cuts of chicken tenders. To my surprise, it was chicken patties size! The second dish I liked are the crispy cod tacos. The tortillas included with the fish tacos are local which made the tacos taste unique. This restaurant is a thumbs up for HH. read more

If you're looking for a quicker nice meal. This works well. The service was fast and reliable.

Came back again just to see if the service would be different this time. We were greeted and sat and our server came and served us which was more than the first time we came. She was lovely and accommodating too. Getting us condiments and refilling our drinks. The food was great. The restaurant was loaded but I'm happy that at least we were served instead of not being taken care of our first time. read more

Great crispy cod tacos & beer prior to a movie down the street. Good service, but kind of weird because our server kept offering refills of full water glasses(?). My first time at this Trident, and it was clean & comfortable. I will close by saying that the constant of American slang "you guys" is only barely tolerable when uttered once as opposed to many times during a meal! read more

Listen this is the best Trident grill. I swear somebody's Louisiana soul in that kitchen frying up the fish chicken shrimp calamari to perfection. The gumbo is BOMB!!! Don't sleep on the marinara sauce and mozzz sticks!! They don't skimp on portions and that is why I will be a loyal customer!!! Chicken pesto sandwich baybee!!!! I could go on, but perhaps you should!!! Go'on nah git!!! read more

We stopped for lunch on a very busy day. We were seated shortly and the servers were quite busy. We opted for burgers and my husband tried a cup of their chowder. The Hubbs does present a list of special instructions when ordering a burger - and this was one of the first restaurants to get it right! No small feat especially when busy. Excellent service and lots of friendly patrons We admired the variety of sandwiches being served at other tables. We will be back. read more

Trident Grill IV - Fried cod, coleslaw and potato salad - Sports Bars Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

First time at this location and I would return. The service was fantastic. I wish I caught our servers name but she was very attentive and was helpful in helping me decide what to order from their massive menu. I went with a cup of clam chowder and the baked Alaskan cod tacos. The clam chowder was decent, they do not skimp on the clams. The tacos were different, topped with actual coleslaw that they also serve as a side for the entrees. The portion size for the tacos was generous, especially for the price, and the salsa was better than some Mexican restaurants. I was missing a sprinkle of cilantro on top. We also got a side of Old Bay fries and they were crispy and delicious! Between 2 of us we couldn't even eat half of them. They had the Monday night game on the TVs and the sound on too. I really enjoyed this place. read more

Trident Grill IV - 2 baked cod tacos and a cup of clam chowder - Sports Bars Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Predictably great every time. Always sit at the bar and service is amazing every time. The local bar to get good bites and great service.

Stopped in on what turned out to be an quiet early happy hour. But never fear, the place was starting to fill up by the time we left. We shared the happy hour menu pretzels with cheddar beer dip. Pretzels were tasty and right out of the oven. soft on the inside and just enough salt. My BH got the pulled pork sliders. Very ample portions and tasty pulled pork. I got a dozen buffalo wings. Juicy, meaty, great buffalo sauce. The BH likes this place because they have a full bar and a nice selection of wines. I'd vote for Trident to be the best gastro pub in the NW, and one of the best gastropub's in the Tucson area. read more

This place has great food in a bar atmosphere . Great crab cakes. Love the fried pickles. Friendly serve.

Great food. Fast service! Very friendly staff. We love their breakfasts and fish fries.

Food-based on waitress recommendations got fish n chips with onion rings instead of fries. Nothing was especially different from any seafood restaurant I've eaten at. Onion rings were cold and I wasn't willing to send them back as I was on a tight timeline. Service was just meh. No real follow up after food was served. Ambiance-didn't realize that Trident grills are primarily a sports bar. Servers were all wearing a bare midriff look ala Hooters. No one that worked there seemed happy. All seemed to share the sour puss look. Got my chow and moved on. Can say I checked the block on going to a Trident Grill. Now I now. Not my cup of tea so won't be back anytime soon. Yelp on! read more

The Food was great! Service wasn't the best when we sat down took 15 minutes. Maddie who wasn't assigned to my table took charge. She was great!! read more

A sports bar at its best. An abundance of TV's for your sports viewing pleasure. Spacious seating, large bar area. Our waitress was quite pleasant, a nice smile every time she came to our table. It was late in the evening and they were doing many closing duties so the attentiveness to our table was not like it should be, However, anytime we waived she came right over. We were recommended the burgers as this was our first trip. My son had the T- town burger, this burger came with a whole half of an avocado! He said at first he wasn't to sure about the potato salad, but soon said it was actually some of the best he has had. For my burger I went with the mushroom Swiss. Thick, juicy, packed with mushrooms and cheese on a brioche bun. This burger was perfectly medium rare as ordered and needed no condiments. The onion rings were nicely battered and have a nice onion flavor, the only negative of the onion rings is that they came out unsalted. Dessert was a pizookie and Carmel cheese cake. A nice ending to the meal. All in all the burgers were hands down some of the best in Tucson. We have attempted to try this place in the past and maybe it was just timing, but this is the first time we were actually able to get a table and Trident Grill did not disappoint. A+ a definitely will return grade! read more

This is not my first review of Trident Grill on Ina Rd The food is always good, I've yet to be disappointed, more so, I've been pleasantly surprised and impressed. The atmosphere is casual and there is always w bit of the look of a neighborhood bar crowd. Service is always great with the staff fry's d attentive. Last visit included the 'super Reuben'/w fries, an order of the steamed clams and a steak salad. Nothing disappointing. read more

After reading many reviews for Trident Grills, especially for fish & chips, I had the opportunity to meet a friend at the Ina location. We were seated in a small alcove near the kitchen. There was plenty of seating in the main dining room and don't know why we were put in small room at a small table. Hailey J was our server and came back a few times before we ordered. I ordered the fish & chips, served with fries and cole slaw and asked for a small side salad also. What I got was the large entree-sized salad for $8.50. She had a hard time explaining dressing choices to me. I ordered the balsamic vinaigrette, she asked if I wanted the reduction?? When I got the salad, I got straight vinegar! I didn't realize it until I poured the dressing on, took a bite and choked for a few minutes! When I could finally get her attention, I asked again about the dressing. She didn't have a clue, so I asked to have another one made with Thousand Island dressing. Okay. Done. The fish was really good, the fries were average and the cole slaw was tasteless. My friend had the pastrami sandwich that she said was good, except it had cajun mustard on it (drenched) and it was too spicy. She tried to scrape it off but wasn't very successful. She didn't send it back because she realized she should have asked to leave it off when she ordered. After we received our food, we didn't see Hailey J again until she came over, telling us she was leaving. She asked if we wanted her to transfer us to another server or check out. She seemed to want her tip. We told her we would check out. I had an order of mac & cheese to go and wasn't ready for it yet. She was to let someone know that I would like it ready in about a half hour. 45 minutes went by and I had to find another server to ask about the to-go order. She located it for me and we left the restaurant. My husband loved his green chili mac & cheese. The best part of the entire experience. The cost of this was a bit excessive, mainly because of the large "side" salad. Diet Coke $3.75, Fish-n-chips $18, House salad (not side) $8.50, Mac-N-Cheese $12, with tax and tip it was close to $50. My friend paid separately. Will I go back? The jury is still out. I may try another location if and when I decide I am ready to do so. read more

Trident is a very friendly, good to eat place and I do recommend it to anyone who's looking for a bite. My family is military and when we go, they are very kind. I do love the food, but I find an issue with getting something different whenever I go. read more

Friendly, accommodating staff, mostly college students. Giant servings of excellent food. Sides include fresh vegetables steamed to perfection, such as asparagus, spinach, green beans. Other sides include rice, cottage cheese, cole slaw. I recommend fish tacos, fish and chips or Alaskan Cod bowl with choice of sides. Atmosphere can be noisy because big groups gather at the larger tables. We sat at a booth. Multiple televisions playing sports games. read more

We have been going to trident for several years. The food is decent, the fried pickles are great. Unfortunately, we will no longer be going back due to dishonest staff. They help themselves to lost and found items. I called 5 mins after leaving and they confirmed they had it, only to be told when I arrived to pick it up, that the cover of the item was there but the actual item was now missing. The manager even confirmed it was in a place only the staff had access to. He was going to check the cameras but that has not happened after several follow ups. Pretty disappointing. read more

We decided to come have dinner at trident off of INA RD . we were not disappointed. Service was prompt and efficient. The ambience, is loud and lively which serves well because it is restaurant bar. Decided to get the fried pickles which were super delicious. My daughter enjoyed them tomato was tasty too spicy not too tomato flavor . I'm a sucker for wings so I got the H1 wings. They were delicious, but I need a little more heat so I decided to H2 sauce delivered the impact element. I was looking for overall we love this place close to your house, friendly, staff and delicious bar food. Very friendly we plan to come back again. read more

Service was terrible. The food is always solid. I really enjoy trident on speedway the best though.

Arrived at 2:00pm & found it only 1/3rd full, was invited to sit where I wanted. My server Mela was friendly, polite & professional. Ordered the Fish n Chips, but requested the gumbo as a replacement for fries. Food arrived quickly & the gumbo was awesome. Fish were great as well. Nice selections of beer on tap & in bottles. Restaurant & restrooms were clean & the TV's with sports were not as loud as expected. I will be back. read more

From the moment we walked into Trident Bar and Grill on Ina, the atmosphere was the perfect balance between laid-back and lively. It is a perfect place to go, whether you're catching the game, out with friends, or just grabbing a bite solo. What truly sets this place apart, though? Cameron, the manager. You can tell right away that he genuinely cares about every guest and every detail. He's the kind of person who remembers your name, checks in to make sure everything's perfect, and runs the place with a level of passion and professionalism you don't see often. He creates an environment where both the staff and the customers feel right at home. The food was next level, whatever you do, try the French Dip! Everything we ordered was hot, fresh, and flavorful, and the drinks didn't disappoint. You can tell the team in the kitchen and behind the bar know what they're doing, and it shows in every bite and sip. If you're looking for great food, even better service, and a vibe that keeps you coming back, Trident is the place. We'll be back again and again! read more

Avg Bar Food in a Nice Setting but dang the Kitchen is Slow. Spent the whole 1st Intermission waiting (Maybe the Kitchen Staff are Hockey Fans?). Food was tasty and lots of selections. But too many to be fresh made but warmed up nicely. Big portions. Servers are all young ladies in hot pants if you're into that kind of thing. read more

I do not usually eat bar food, because I'm not a fan of greasy food. I came here this past Sunday to watch the game and was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere. It was fun and energetic. For hard seltzers, they only carry white claw. I loved the mussels. The thai curry sauce was very unique and a great flavor. I was not a fan of the Paleo bowl. It was really annoying to try to eat it and not spill it, since it was packed too tight in its bowl. I would not order this again. It was also pretty plain and the chicken tasted a little burnt. The wings were really good but the sliders only came with 2 and were overcooked. Great place to watch big games. read more

We decided to try their Sunday Brunch and it was amazing! We had been here on Friday night and discovered that they served brunch from 9 to 12. We were not disappointed. We had the Jason's rancheros. there was so much food as you can see from the picture and it was absolutely delicious. The only thing that could've made it better was just a little bit more salsa, but otherwise the avocado was fresh, plentiful The potatoes were delicious. I had orange juice with my meal. My husband had the coffee and said it was delicious. He also had the same meal that I did. We will be back to try the bloody Mary and mimosas and more of this delicious food. There were not a lot of people here which was great because the service was attentive, fast and friendly. We will definitely be back again! read more

This is a Navy seal themed bar. I've been coming here for maybe two years now. I absolutely love this place and this trident location in particular (I swear it's better.) I love the beers here - get a big blue van. Cocktails are okay The bartenders are fantastic and always make you feel right at home. This is probably why the bar is always full before anything else. My go to food here is the fish tacos and mozzarella sticks. They are honestly both such a delight and keep me coming back. I highly recommend this place, and this location in particular. read more
