Best fricken burger place in town!! I always tell people about this place. They have great fish and chips and amazing burgers. You definitely get what you pay for! read more

We were looking for a new place for happy hour and decided to check these guys out. Had a great time and look forward to returning! Sat at the bar and did appetizers .... all of which were excellent. We had the fish tacos - which I can't rave about enough, followed by the grilled avocado. And then another order of the fish tacos (because they were just that good!). Service was great. It was crowded (as any good place would be on a Friday night), but we never felt neglected. read more

Went in for Happy hour from 3-6. Enjoyed a couple of $3.50 beverages and appetizers. Chicken fingers(hot and fresh but flat) onion rings, shrimp taco and hummus. Service great, Theresa our bartender very friendly! read more

If you like clams. I mean if you really like clams, come to Trident. Thanks for bringing good seafood to Tucson.

Had shrimp tacos today which was awesome and Ashleigh served me which was even more awesome!!!

I had a hard time deciding what to order because the menue had so many good options. I tried the crab cakes appetizer and they were the best I had in years. True to the Maryland recipe they had minimal amount of bread crumbs and large chunks of crab. Not cheap but well worth it. I also had the steak salad with spinach, blue cheese, egg, tomatoes and a sliced sirloin with an amazing balsamic reduction. Both dishes were excellent! I was going to take some pictures but started eating as soon as they arrived. read more

Great Sports Pub with excellent food. Went on a Monday with a group of 10 people. Had a reservation for 11 am. Service provided by Mariah was excellent. Our party had an assortment of food items from Sandwiches, Fish and Chips to Salads. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Excellent fun place to visit ! Cheers ! read more

Read about a NEW Trident opening up @ old Grimaldi's. Never even heard of the Trident in over a decade of living and noshing in the area. So today the Misses & I made it a point to attend. Had the menu in our head so choosing a meal was easy. WHAT A TREAT!!!! A non-descript venue in a professional suite, it was tough to find, save for the little sign out front. Parking is precious and some is reserved so be careful where to park. Upon entry, I thought the worst. The place looked crowded but a quick look for the bar showed IT nearly empty. Great! Love to eat at the bar, anywhere! Very quick service for an adult beverage and menus. Time to scope the place out. 'Twas lunch time so there were tables full of well dressed adults, normal conversation level and massive quantities of food. A naval motif, replete with period photos, dominated the main dining area and SEAL trident pins were embedded into the bar. There were unit and professional service patches tacked over the bar. I ordered a pound of steamed clams and a Reuben, my Wife ordered the fish & chips. The clams were done to a "T." Not rubbery or fishy tasting; means they were fresh and cooked correctly. My Wife's Alaskan cod was very lightly batter fried, moist, meaty and sweet. My Reuben was probably the best I have ever had. Lots of tender meat, large pieces of marbled rye, 'slaw to die for, melted cheese and dressing. Served piping hot! We couldn't ask for anything more! The price was nominal for the amount of food and the area. We're very hesitant to try new places of late as they mostly turn out flat. The Trident didn't disappoint and we cannot wait for Trident Pizza!!!! "Keep an even strain, Trident!" P.S: Not ONE screaming, yelping, gurgling or out of control child. In fact, not a child in the place! Made for a GREAT dining experience! read more

I am not usually on this side of town and even if I am I dont like to be near the UofA, but I go where my friends are (no I really am not a follower). I am not giving them a great star rating but I guess thats because I was not a huge fan. Drinks were really expensive, the bartenders were not too friendly, and the patrons were a bit odd (we were sitting next to a women who we saw doing some not so great things in the bathroom, sniff, sniff). So why even give three stars well because you could tell that the patrons who did go there were regulars and loved it, I didn't try the food and the atmosphere was nice. I did like the bouncer he was pretty nice. So all in all I would go again just to see if it is better than I remember but I wont be rushing to get there. read more

I had the shrimp tacos. They were not good. beer battered and not a lot of flavor. The atmosphere is a bar with a restaurant combined in one. They had a guy doing trivia. Weird atmosphere and definitely not a place you'd want to go for dinner. If you like hanging out drinking beer and want bar food then this is a place for you read more

I loved the "love plate". We were staying at the Aloft and the front desk recommended Trident to us. We weren't disappointed. Great beer selection, friendly staff, enough TV's to watch whatever sports were on. Not too noisy, but it was late on a weeknight. And my friend said his steak was perfectly cooked and delicious. read more

Trident Grill - The "love plate". - Sports Bars Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

My boyfriend and I were completely ignored after we were seated even when I made eye contact with 2 waitresses. After sitting there for 10 minutes we left. Told the couple coming in they were welcome to our table! Seems you need to be a regular here to get service. read more

Best fish n chips in Tucson, hands down! Burgers are awesome as well! Great selection of beers, over 20 on tap! The only downfall is the horrible service! Took 15 min to even get a drink order in..My wife ordered a soda bc she didnt like the tea, the waitress proceeded to then sit down to flirt with guys long enough for me to get pissed off, get up and ask her again to get my wife a soda.. She then complied. In a nutsell, if you dont mind the service n waiting longer than you have too.. Go to trident grill n enjoy the great food! read more

As of this writing the food at the Trident on Speedway has gotten much better than it had been over the previous five years. I had the Asian Chicken Salad, and instead of the previous anemic chucks of old chicken, it is now served with several huge freshly grilled skewers of chicken over an even better equally huge bed of greens ... all with a yummy ginger dressing. Mazel Tov! to whom ever the new chef is. Servers are the same third rate UA college types ... but hey, this ain't Harvard Square. Great food makes up for the overly cute bimbettes serving it. And the overly loud sound of crowds yelling at sport teams on the far too many TVs is made up for by the genuinely hot college guys rubbing up against their equally hot bros. read more

The Trident is a tried and true place, I had not been in a while and was pleased to see it had not changed. The service was good, the food was okay, not great but better than Denny's, but still no great shakes. The service was good and I like the fact that is your good old pub from the 80's. The booths are comfortable and you can have a conversation without shouting. My friend was very happy with her drinks, and that is what people go there for, and to feel relaxed. I will go back and bring friends. read more

I did not know this place was located just down the street from me. This is a cute little place but has multiple tvs going on to watch your game(s). My first and only time I've been here is with my group of SAA task force. SAA treated us and they had a budget so we had a special menu for us to choose from. I had the fish and chips and the platter was big. There were three cod fishes on top of a bed of french fries. YUM! The salad portion was big too, it was enough to feed two. There was the trident burger, which I totally wish I had more of. All these yummy dishes, I need to come back, PRONTO! read more

This place is rad. I came for the first time (finally) for the first UofA football game and it was packed. We sat in one of the booths and had our choice of view of multiple TVs playing various games. I ordered the Tucson burger and it was reallllly good - I would definitely recommend it. Pitchers of beer were relatively cheap as well, I believe it was $10 for Coors Light. I would definitely come here again, maybe on a less busy night but it was still fun to see everyone there wearing red! read more

A great neighborhood bar. Lots of TVs with NFL Sunday ticket. The food was good. Love the Mac and cheese and green chili turkey sandwich. A decent beer selection. read more

Stopped in at Trident OG location for a lunch around 2:00 PM. Place was pretty busy for being mid day. Treated myself to a pint of Modern Times, the tap list has a few craft options on it which is a plus. Started out with the pretzel app, which was real tasty with its salt and butter. It came with a big bowl of cheap tasting cheese dip. For entree I came to try the burger, so I went with what seems like the classic--the Wildcat, a BBQ bacon cheeseburger. All the ingredients were nice here, from fresh veg, tasty BBQ sauce, fresh bakery bun, and tasty half pound of beef. Overall the burger was a little dry and overcooked despite my order of medium. The fries are super tasty here though. The service was okay. The environment is definitely that of a pub with kitschy bar stuff all over the walls, definitely nothing cool or modern. Kind of charming in a way, but kind of claustrophobic. This place is overall solid, but it didn't really excel in any area. read more

Oh, Trident - how I love your intimate neighborhood-bar feel, friendly bartenders, and college memories. I love the place - but really, it's a bar. It's near the UofA so you'll get your mix of college students and regulars. I recommend going if you're looking for a chiller option than downtown or 4th ave and are in the area. read more

Trident never disappoints for me. It's going to largely be bar cuisine but I find it quite delightful. I go here not when I'm in the mood for something healthy (though the Paleo Bowl would fulfill that if you are looking for something healthy) I go here when I went delicious bar food. If you like regular nachos, the kind with real melted cheese (not fake cheese sauce), these are some of the best you can get. They're nothing crazy, no unique twist, just damn good nachos. If you want fancier nachos, try elsewhere. But here is going to be one of your best options for straight up regular delicious nachos. The half portion is more than sufficient for one person. I cannot even imagine trying to tackle the full portion. I'm a vegetarian so I never get it with beef, but you can totally add a meat option should you wish. Also delicious is their mac and cheese. It's so cheesy, never dried out, and always has some nice cheese melted right on top. You can get it as a side with many of their burgers, or you can order the entrée sized. And in my opinion, you can never go wrong by adding green chiles to the mac and cheese. Because green chilis are a gift. I love their caprese appetizer as well. Standard mozzarella, tomato, basil, balsamic. But it's always tasty. Same with the mozzarella sticks. Their white bean hummus plate is also delicious. The other thing I love about trident is they do what, in my opinion, all restaurants with burgers should do, they say at the top you can take any burger and substitute a veggie patty. It's baffling to me how many places don't even offer a veggie burger at all (they're frozen! not that hard to keep them stocked!) or if they do, they're hesitant or unwilling to accommodate a request to add it to a different burger than the one veggie burger listed on the menu. Why in the world, if you already have veggie patties on hand, do I have to order the ONE veggie burger you have listed? Why can't I just substitute the veggie patty onto any other option? It drives me bonkers. But for Trident, this is never the case! The mushroom swiss looks good to you? They'll make it with a veggie patty. The green chile burger looks great? They'll make it a veggie. Etc., etc., etc. It's a standard Boca Burger, which are ok. Normally I avoid Boca Burgers, but Trident makes me excited to eat a veggie burger! I recommend the Green Chile with a Boca Burger, and add a fried egg. Side salad and no bun if you want low carb. Or, if you're indulging, side of mac & cheese. For non-vegetarians, my friends are always happy to eat here too. Popular choices among my friends include the grilled shrimp skewers, the non-veggie burgers, the crispy shrimp po-boy, and the paleo bowl. They also have a fully stocked bar. Good prices on their beverages. And the wait staff has always been friendly and kind. Word of caution, if there's football on, it's probably going to be crowded here. So plan accordingly. read more

First time back in the restaurant since COVID and had the best experience. The food, per usual, was incredibly delicious! The server was great, she took our order right away. My 8 year old picky child ordered the kids mac n cheese and wasn't thrilled with the "baked" style mac n cheese, as she is used to the Krafts Mac n cheese (here to be honest) The Manager politely had some fresh mac n cheese made for her that she suddenly loved. He didn't charge us for it even though we asked to pay. I would give our dinner a 5/5 experience! Thank you Trident Staff for taking care of us :) read more

Amazing service, amazing food!!! Environment is great. Got a West Coast BLT and was seriously impressed with it. Massive amounts of bacon and avacado. My son's burger was huge. Husband got oysters on the half and said they were great (which for Tucson is impressive). Can't wait to come back! read more

In Tucson for the weekend and walked over to this place because its right across from our hotel. Great fish and chips, fish tacos and fried pickles. Raspberry cheesecake and coffee were very good for a bar and I'm a coffee snob.....our waitress was very attentive and always around when needed. Would recommend this place for food and drinks. Might even go back tonight to try something else off the menu...... read more

First time we've been here. The bar tender was great and steered us to some great eats. Had the sweet potato fries which were great, I had a Trident burger and onion rings. It was huge and very good. Wife had fish and chips. Nice breading and fries were great. We'll be back. read more

Food is always excellent! However the service can be slow. They are always crowded so make sure you have plenty of time. We missed the first 10 minutes of a show at U of A because we were waiting on our food. read more

Happy hour: Monday-Friday till 7! I wasn't quite sure what to expect when my family mentioned we should dine at Tridents-I'd never heard of it. But, I was pleasantly surprised! Their happy hour was still in full swing so we enjoyed a handful of appetizers for $5 each and drink specials. They also had the world's largest salads for $5 on happy hour. I got the grilled chicken salad and there is honestly enough salad left for two meals. The ambience was a bit noisy, but otherwise it was an interesting place to sit back, drink beer and watch sports. read more

I had the Ruben sandwich. Kinda bland. The toast needed to be brushed with butter, better thousand island dressing and sauerkraut added to the sandwich. The next day (only because a client wanted to meet there) I had a cheeseburger. It was supposed to be medium but it was raw in the middle. The waitress disappeared so I could not tell her until she brought my check. Note to waitress...when a customer only eats half of the food ask if it was good! It's not the customers job to track the waitress down if the food was not acceptable. He/She should be checking every 15 mins. This is a hang-out for ex-military which is the only positive note. read more

I was in town for Family Weekend at U of A, the manager/owner was super cool for reserving me a table for a large party. They don't normally take reservations. A little customer service goes a long way. Make sure you try the Tucson Blonde, it's really good. read more

The philly cheesesteak is amazing. The girls are always amazing with the service. All the food we have ever had there is good. When in town, I always come here. Great food, beers, lots of TV's for watching sports. read more

A lot of gorgeous waitresses but that was not the reason I gave this such a low rating. The many times I've been here, I have tried a variety of items from their menu and I just can't really say that I've found anything to write home about. The food is mediocre to subpar for the price. The chorizo burger, for example, tastes like it went straight from freezer to hot plate. The cod fish and chips is nothing but breading. The Philly cheese steak is chinsy with the beef. I also don't think I've ever seen a waiter here at all which seems kind of sexist which doesn't matter to me but it might to some. read more

All of you writing reviews should throw yourselves into a wood chipper if you don't give Trident 5 Stars. Before I offer up my love to the owner for providing Arizona with one of the only Redskins bars in the state, I must preach the gospel of the glorious Clam Chowder Bread Bowl. Being born and raised in AZ but having parents and family from New England, I know my way around a fresh, authentic, steaming hot bowl of chowda. Trident is unmatched; eating the chowder was an understatement, I borderline inhaled it. The icing on the cake; redskins bar. Enough said. Cowboys fan ARE NOT WELCOME. ....damn it feels good saying that. HTTR!!!! read more

I had the fish and chips and fried pickles here, a bit overpriced. The waitress was nice, too nice I don't know why I didn't tell her my water tasted like metal. It definitely has culture, with lots of memorabilia hanging on the walls. I'd come here again to try out other stuff. We'll see about the water. read more

It's my spot when I go to Tucson. Food is pretty good for a bar, always has games on, very friendly staff. Wish they had whiskey cubes instead of a glass full of ice machine ice but I'm just nit picking at this point. Burgers are good, clam chowder is good. read more

Fantastic bar! Especially if your are Redskins fan!!! Great grub and drink selection. Definitely will become a regular here!!! Been here twice and, the calamari and Nachos are on spot! read more

This is a popular spot near the university and I haven't been before. I have been to Trident's second location previously. The customer service is fantastic. Our server was very friendly and prompt. I ordered off the happy hour menu: 2 crispy cod tacos and 2 crispy shrimp tacos. The menu is overall a good value, especially for seafood. The shrimp and cod were crispy. However, they added a lot of slaw (which I ended up taking off). Also, the tortillas were slightly under. I still enjoyed them (make sure to squeeze some lemon!). I also tried my brother's French fries, which were well seasoned. The beer batter was tasty, but I think they were sitting out a little because they were slightly warm, not hot. Lastly, the restaurant has some accessibility issues. The doors are narrow, tables are tightly packed together, and the curbs are high and far from the handicap parking spots. I would still go back. It seems like a fun spot for watching games with friends. read more

A must stop when in Tucson. Always a good time with great food, huge portions, and a wonderful atmosphere.

Met a friend here for a little after work girls time. I think other than the conversation the best part of the night was Stella on Tap!! The best!!!! Nachos were filling and sesamre chicken skewers just right. read more

Terrific food! Fairly slow service. Not a ton seats, so we had to wait for a booth seat for quite a while.

Great atmosphere, attractive, attentive, waitresses, great place for drinks, but the food is below average, I would go more often if the food were better, all other aspects positive. read more
