My daughter and I stopped by Trident Grill for dinner after our workout, and we were genuinely impressed. The atmosphere was lively with the football game on, but the highlight of our visit was our server, Thalia. She was outstanding from start to finish, patient while I took my time deciding, incredibly informative, and genuinely personable. She never rushed us and made excellent recommendations. I kept going back and forth between the Paleo Bowl, a salad, the Reuben, the clam chowder, and even the chicken tenders. In the end, I went with the Reuben, and Thalia suggested adding a cup of soup on the side. Perfect call. I also tried the tenders, and they were delicious. Great food, great atmosphere, and exceptional customer service. Looking forward to coming back soon. read more

We've been back a few times since my previous review and had a much better experience. I assume our first visit was just an off day. The fish and chips are great and the service has been excellent on our last couple visits. Our daughter loves all the different sports playing on the tvs around the room. read more

Solid spot for good food and excellent drinks Stopped in at Trident Grill recently and had a very enjoyable meal overall. The food was really good -- the burger was nicely charred with fresh toppings and came out hot and flavorful. The fries were crispy, and that big pickle on the side was a nice touch. Everything on the plate hit the mark. Service was attentive and friendly, and the drinks were excellent. The beer was perfectly poured and ice-cold, and the soda was refreshing -- exactly what you want with a meal like this. The atmosphere is classic sports-bar vibes with plenty of TVs showing games, which is great if you're there to watch. The only minor downside was our booth -- it felt a bit hard and uncomfortable to sit on for the whole meal. Everything else was good, though. Would definitely come back for the food and drinks. A reliable choice when you're craving a tasty burger and a cold one. read more

This restaurant is often mentioned on foodies of Tucson Facebook group, especially when somebody asks for recommendation for fish and chips. So I ordered it but I was disappointed. I lived in New Zealand in the past and I have had many good fish and chips. However, their pork chop was excellent and I'm not really a pork person. Our server was absolutely outstanding. She was so sweet and so friendly. I don't really go to a sports bar usually, but if I ever want to watch Sun sporting games, I will pick this place read more

Great neighborhood tavern in the heart of Tucson that also serves amazing food! The service is attentive and friendly and the ambiance is warm, welcoming with a hit of a sports bar. There is plenty of bar seating and table seating. The adult beverage selection is vast and the food menu had something for everyone. The spinach steak salad is my go to and it never disappoints. If you are in need of a good meal and/or tasty beverage this is the place to go! read more

Trident Grills & Pizza Pub - Seafood Platter - Sports Bars Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I'm surprised I haven't written a review about the Trident on Speedway as I've been there many times over the years. The beer selection is pretty good and the food is always good. The portions are large. The service most of the time is pretty good, but today I was wondering if we had a server. She finally came around and was good. One thing I would prefer is a better, cleaner restroom, but it's probably an older building/location so that may be a large capital investment to get going. read more

Surprisingly this place is wonderful! When we first walked in it was extremely crowded and dark but we were starving so decided to stay. The service was great and food was well!

I was coming in from Colorado and wanted to watch the Nuggets game while we waited to check in to our hotel and a friend suggested this place a s a great sports bar for a game. I feel like I have been here before many many years ago before I moved to Colorado but it felt like the first time because I don't remember anything about it. We were greeted immediately and the service was great the whole time. She was always checking on us to make sure our beers didn't get low and if we wanted more food. We had the chicken skewers with a Thai peanut sauce that was to die for. I could drink that sauce. It went to well with the tender chicken bites. We didn't order any other food, but based on that dish I would go back for sure. Good location and ample parking. It was perfect too cause it was the end of graduation weekend so the place was fairly empty. I'll come back next time I am in Tucson. read more

Great place for fish n chips! It's a pub if you will with TV's for all the latest sports. The menus are vast, but the go to is the fish n chips. Crispy house coating around the fish which is moist and flavorful. Comes with house cut fries and slaw. Great value and you won't leave hungry for sure. The staff are great engaging and always appear to be enjoying their job. Ok do you use malt vinegar on your fish n chips? read more

Trident Grills & Pizza Pub - 2 pc fish n chips! Fries and slaw - Sports Bars Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

My first trip to Trident, and honestly, I was expecting more. I'd read all the positive food reviews and was really looking forward to an elevated taste experience. Diners raved about seafood, particularly their fish and chips..."best in Tucson"? The other fresh seafoods were impressive. My companions had chicken and shrimp skewers. The shrimp skewers were deemed delicious, while the chicken were tasty, but on the dry side. The bacon BLT was enjoyed and had lots of bacon. Fish and chips best in Tucson? Maybe, but nothing compared to dining on the coast. You just can't replicate "from the fishermen". I mean the fish was very good. Crunchy batter and somewhat flaky cod inside. But they weren't fillets, rather they were shaped like giant fish sticks. You could get 2 for $18, or 3 for $20. Order included a huge side of chips, fried perfectly, actually the star of the show. Beer list was were impressive, and there was a sport Tv in every direction. I'd go again, but just with more realistic expectations. read more

Fun atmosphere! Our server, Charlie, was fabulous! She didn't hesitate with requests that we made. I had the nachos with ground beef. They know how to do nachos there. Layered with cheese, not just the top. Baked to perfection! Good selection of beers. Great for watching sports! read more

Reviewing: Trident Grill Rating: 4.5 out of 5 (will definitely go back) Address: 2033 E Speedway Blvd (there's multiple locations but this one is the one we went to). Number of people eating: 4 adults (me being 38 weeks pregnant). Hours: Sun-Thurs: 11am-11pm Fri-Sat: 11am-12am Happy Hour: Mon-Fri: 3-6pm Atmosphere: Very homey and inviting. Relaxed as well. Loved the vibe. This was at 12:30, was busy but wasn't loud at all and chill. Staff: Shawna was our waitress and she was absolutely lovely and checked on us a few times to make sure the food was good and if we needed anything. We all even had some conversations with her as well which was cool. Very personable and professional. Food: My order: Fish & Chips (subbed for sweet potato fries). Fish was soooo juicy and freaking delicious! Mouthwatering! My drink was Dr Pepper since I really wanted strawberry lemonade which they don't have unfortunately, I originally ordered regular lemonade but it was nasty I sent it back and got Dr Pepper since they didn't have root beer either lol. *My bill before tip: $25 2 friends order: Chicken tenders with fries and Sandwich. 2 drinks. *Bill before tip: $36 1 friend order: Steakhouse burger and water. *Bill before tip: $16 We all really enjoyed this place and will return! read more

Maryland Crab cakes were delicious! Best part of the meal. Fish tacos were swimming in coleslaw which I have never imagined on a fish taco. My husband ordered the fish and chips, substituting sweet potato fries. The fish was cooked well and had good flavor, but laying on top of the french fries made them terribly greasy and they were overcooked too. Our military discount was forgotten on the check, but we just wanted to get out of there because The atmosphere was very loud. read more

I had a bread bowl of gumbo ($14.40). Loved the soup, and the bread was good too. My friends were also happy with their meals.

It's been a while since we've been to trident and thought we'd pop back in and have some lunch. We ordered the Calamari, fish and chips and the steakhouse burger. We would have given this a 5 start review if not for the service. Food was great, although if you order an appetizer you'd expect it BEFORE your meal not brought all together with your meal. So that was a bust. Waitress seemed to not care and didn't bother to check on us. It was right after lunch so it wasn't slammed so not sure why she had the attitude she did. But the food was great, calamari was nice and crispy and cooked well, came with marinara and cocktail sauce, and fish and chips was amazing. Crispy and delicious and very meaty, and the burger. OMG the blue cheese and the horseradish sauce was perfect. Definitely my new burger. All in all food was great, AC worked great, had lots of TV to enjoy and was relaxing. Prices could be better, but the service is completely lacking. If that's one thing that will mess up a good food experience and that's poor customer service. Although we'd recommend the food, be prepared to wait and to get lack luster service. This trident is definitely better than the pizza pub trident, however the pizza pub trident has way better service but lousy food. That's just this man's opinion. read more

I had a bad experience with this place. In recent days, I was in the area and I google and I was near by Trident, and I was like let's give it a try, so the minute I walked in, another person came in and we both checked in, and the lady said with an attitude "You can sit anywhere you want"; so I sat and the other gentleman sat behind me at the bar area, and he was immediately served by the waitress, and I was there waiting for 5 minutes and no one came to check and asked.. " The minute I stand to leave, someone came and said I'm sorry, etc.. I was like forget it.. is ok. Bad service. read more

A really solid place to watch a game. It's a fun atmosphere with lots of TVs although not all of the booths are very well positioned to see them. I've been a few times in the staff has never been short of excellent. They are kind and attentive every time. The food is great too. The prices are a little bit towards the upper end of your average sports bar, but you will not be disappointed with the meals. The burgers and buttermilk tenders are flavorful and always have been cooked perfectly. Buffalo style Mac-N-Cheese was a big hit as well. read more

I usually like trident but this location is worst in quality. I'm not usually one to leave a bad review but this experience was lacking. When we arrived it took 5 minutes to be seated- there was no hostess in sight. It then took another 5 minutes to be greeted. We ordered a simple dozen tenders and it look over 40 minutes to get them. Our server came by twice the whole time we were there. Once to tell us that our food was coming out soon and then we waited another 20 minutes to receive our tenders. When we got the tenders they were burnt and very thin. The tenders were more like filets. read more

One word, five stars chicken tenders. Okay, that's two words but yum!! We absolutely love the chicken tenders here and can't believe the portion size you get for the price! We come down to Tucson often, and this is now one of the places we like to frequent. You also can't go wrong with the blackberry lemon drop.
