First visit to this establishment. Food was excellent. Tasty and well cooked. I don't know if our waitress was having an off day, but her attention and service was not very good. Will definitely try again and see how it goes. But I definitely recommend the food.🙂👍

We both really enjoyed our meals and look forward to trying other dishes. The atmosphere was inviting and comfortable and the service was great. I really don't know exactly why we hadn't tried this place sooner. This place is a great new discovery and one of our favorites now. We also want to try the other locations now.

Gave their Reuben a shot. Solid execution—good flavor, well-balanced, and definitely satisfying. That said, I’m more of a shredded corned beef fan, so the sliced pastrami didn’t quite hit my personal sweet spot. Still, the quality was there, and I can’t knock them for preference. Lots of old bay on the tries. Crispy and tender. Service was smooth, and the overall vibe made it a great spot to grab a bite. Would I come back? Yeah, but I might see what else is on the menu next time.

09JAN2025: The burger and wings are simply outstanding. Came in with an Instagift card, manager came from the kitchen and processed it no problemo! Overall 5 star service, food and expierence. Thanks Trident on Speedway Team! 06SEP2024: Consistent! Split the ‘Super Rueben” today, sat at the bar supported by Kellyn and David stopped over from the Kitchen to say hello – the ‘Super Rueban’ was ON POINT. That sandwich could not have been better. Split the plate with slaw on the side and a couple Dragoon IPAs – great Friday lunch. Thanks again Trident and company on Speedway! Bellied up to the bar for lunch last Friday, greeted by an energetic Kellynn who did a wonderful job taking care of us. Her smile, and welcoming enthusiasm were refreshing. First time in, and a nice surprise to find another ‘good’ place to land occasionally in central. It was a Friday, and the crowd was a nice find, still plenty of seats however a true indication that this place is passing the test of time. Began with a cup of Grandma’s clam chowder, a bit unconventional, but we loved it, unconventional in that it had a ‘hint’ of a warm smokey flavor – so good, definitely recommend and will order again. Split the 3-piece Alaskan Cod, which the kitchen graciously separated for us without our asking, and after ordering crispy fries – we got crispy fries. Spot on Kitchen ‘Seal ‘ Team! Both chowder and entrée delivered by Teddy – I mention him because it is becoming increasingly rare that the person delivering your food ACTUALLY cares if you are satisfied. As he delivered our neighbor’s plates…and ours, you could tell Teddy reviews the plate for presentation before leaving the kitchen, a rarity these days… My experience too often is the server moves plates from location ‘A’ to “B’ and doesn’t recognize their role in the experience – not Teddy! My one suggestion, I’d like to see more ‘non big box’ beers. Numerous taps run the gamut from all the mainstream brewers, Voodoo, 805, Dos Equis Amber, etc. While there was a single IPA (Dragoon) on tap (and I am not suggesting they all be IPAs, that is also sub-optimized), a barrio rojo or hipster…maybe something from Iron John’s? I believe that Dragoon was the only local craft brew with a personality and an ABV > 5%. #i1 Trident Grill, we salute you!

🔥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! 🙌🏼

Came recommended food was good. Typical bar food. No sweet tea and only RC. Fried pickle spears were excellent, light batter like fish and chips. Grilled shrimp skewers were excellent 14 per serving. Potato skins were average. Prices were typical of bar food. Bust place but were seated right away. 1 waitress was spread thin, she handled it well We are here for the softball game. Very close to stadium

So first time coming here to be honest this review is a little late, I am sorry about that but first impression was interesting the side entrance is nice actually the atmosphere inside was relaxing everyone seemed to be having a good time the waitresses and hostess was nice and welcoming. We had gone to another location but this one was the one I enjoyed the best. The food was very flavorful price wasn't to bad.. about average now and days.. there sweet potato fries were delicious.. If you haven't been here I would definitely recommend a try! It seemed very clean just didn't check out the bathrooms ill definitely go back and update photos! :)

Absolutely delicious!!! The Cubano grilled cheese was great and a huge portion. The fried pickles were the best I've ever had. My husband had the Pastrami sandwich and said it was delicious. Great atmosphere, fantastic service. Will definitely be back.
