I met the son last year outside of this place at a summer camp. I didn't know he worked here until now. But he's been a good friend of mine, and he treated me and my dad very nicely. The food was fine but I was more surprised at seeing a friend of mine. I can tell he's doing his best. If I get the chance to come back I will.

I recently moved about 20 minutes north of a place where I was hoping to find some good fried fish and shrimp on this side of the WWB. I wanted to find a local spot so I wouldn't have to keep driving into Maryland for seafood platters. I decided to try out this place, but unfortunately, the fish seemed to be pre-battered frozen fish, similar to Long John Silver's. The shrimp had too much breading, and the hush puppies had this weird funnel cake-ish taste. Overall, the food was very average.
Parking: It's a shopping center; so there is plenty of parking.

My favorite place to get seafood &hush puppies. The customer service is so awesome, and the food quality & quantity shows! Thank you for serving me and my family always ?
Mom and Dad are the sweetest people you can ask for. When we're in the area we try and stop to get a fish box. Especially to get Mom's coleslaw.

We ordered a combo meal. The food had an after taste. The service received from the cashier was poor. I would not recommend this restaurant.

I had an awesome catfish platter, with a side of coleslaw, clam chowder and onion rings. Wow! The platter was huge. I loved the clam chowder recipe. It was so good. The staff are so friendly, you must try them.

Review of Father and Son Seafood, Lorton:Title: "A Culinary Treasure in Lorton – Father and Son Seafood"From the moment I stepped into Father and Son Seafood in Lorton, I knew I was in for a special dining experience. This family-owned gem combines the warmth of a neighborhood eatery with the sophistication of fine dining, striking a perfect balance that appeals to a broad range of seafood enthusiasts.The star of the menu, and my personal favorite, is their Clam Strip Platter with Hush Puppies. Each clam strip is cooked to perfection – golden, crispy on the outside, yet tender and juicy within. The balance of flavors is remarkable, capturing the essence of the sea without overpowering the delicate taste of the clams. Accompanying these delightful strips are the hush puppies, a Southern classic done right. They are light, fluffy, and subtly seasoned, making them the perfect complement to the clam strips.What elevates the dining experience at Father and Son Seafood is the excellent service. The staff exudes a kind of friendliness and professionalism that's increasingly rare. They are knowledgeable about the menu, attentive without being intrusive, and genuinely seem to take pride in ensuring every guest has a memorable experience.The ambiance of the restaurant contributes to its charm. It's cozy and inviting, with nautical decor that's tasteful and understated. Whether you're there for a casual lunch or a special dinner, the setting is just right.In conclusion, Father and Son Seafood is not just a restaurant; it's a culinary destination. The Clam Strip Platter with Hush Puppies is a must-try, and the overall excellence of food and service makes it a standout in the Lorton area. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this place is well worth a visit.

WORSE FOOD EVER: I wish I could give "0" stars. The chicken wings was DRY and hard, the bones on the chicken wings was visible, it tasted like old chicken refried a few times in old grease.
The fish was dry, heavily breaded and tasteless.
I was too scared to continue eating. But I did get a free laxative out of the deal.
