A Celebration of Food, Sports, and Community
Welcome to Trident Grills, your premier destination for great food, beer, and sports entertainment in Tucson, Arizona. Our story began in 2001 when our founder, Nelson Miller, a retired US Navy SEAL, opened the original Trident Grill with a vision to bring a touch of East Coast flavors and culture to the Southwest. With a passion for sports and a commitment to the local community, we have grown to become a beloved gathering place for sports fans, families, and friends.
Our Story
Nelson Miller, a retired Navy SEAL, founded Trident Grills in August 2001. As a patriot and patriot of our country, he decided to answer the call to duty, serving in Iraq and Afghanistan while continuing to oversee his business. The Trident Grill's concept was born out of Miller's love for the Arizona desert and the culture of the Southwest. He aimed to bring energy and passion to entertain and serve the local community, creating a special place for veterans to grab a beer, eat, and laugh together.
