    This is located, about a mile, north of the..Belen.exit.. I don't know Long. John silver's, in New Mexico. There's probably one but I don't know where they are, so periodically, I think it's a fun place, to get an a&w root beer, and in addition, Long John silver's fish and chips,.. if you haven't had hush puppies before, they're a tree, it's a Southern delight, a cornbread, that they used to feed to the hunting dogs, to keep them quiet, hence the name hush puppies, just for fun. I'll often get a dozen or more of them, as an extravagant getting treat for myself,.

    This is on the other end of Belen New Mexico, truthfully, I do not know anywhere in 100 miles where you can find a Long John silver's, and an aw and a&w Root beer,. Therefore, I would say this is a cultural icon, fish and chips, they've increased the size of the fish, and the a&w Root beer, takes me back to the time when I was a teenager, for whatever reason, the blue straws, are really a novelly, I was in Europe for 6 months, and they've stopped using plastic straws, so I asked, could I buy a dozen, to take and give to a friend, the blue straws, are our cultural icon... Yes by executive order, our president did away with. Paper straws!.. I really wanted, to treat myself to a dozen hush puppies, this takes me back, 50 years, to travel through the South, I believe this is also a cultural icon, for someone who doesn't know what they are, in the South, when they went out on Fox hunts, they would take along, this tasty treat, and they would say, to the dogs that we're continually being noisy, eat one of these dipped in corn batter, fried in oil hush puppies meaning dogs be quiet. This is a cultural item, and it's the only place I know you can get them, so if you're traveling on I-25, get off, on the southernmost exit, to Belen New Mexico, turn left and go about six blocks, and on the right side you'll find, Long. John silver's, there's gas, charging stations, and also clean restrooms,.. October 2025 PS and the staff were very nice, super nice, don't go through the drive-thru actually go in and sit down. Enjoy the cultural experience, particularly the a&w Root beer float

    Absolutely horrible. Front register lady lied about the quality of the food.. floor was disgusting, with hush puppies smashed all over.. received food got home, 1 mile away and fish was as hard as wood, chicken was dried out, called to have my order remade, the drive thru lady wqs now on front register and told me 5 minutes, with fish in the hot dish, asked how old it was, she didnt know...?? Then had to wait even longer bc the "cook" didn't go drop fresh fish when she asked him to. She had to ask 3 times and he lifted up his shirt as he strolling back into the kitchen?! Like good service health and food safety standard isn't a thing bc it a small town.
