Honeymoon Chicken is the new restaurant opening up in the Murrell Building (4201 Georgia Ave NW), where Slim’s Diner used to be.

From the owners of Federalist Pig, Honeymoon offers fried chicken and all the fixings — starting January 12th, their official opening day. You’ll be able to eat inside, order delivery or pick-up. In fact, they have a special pick-up window on the Georgia Avenue side of the building.

The interior is redesigned from Slim’s days, with the bar extended almost the full width of the restaurant. Seating inside is mainly along the large bar, and there’s a few booths along the windows.

But before they officially open, they are holding a few Community Days to introduce their food… and contribute to Mary’s Center with their Honeymoon Gives Back Day.

Short Windows of Free Chicken!
Starting Wednesday January 5th through the 7th, they’re inviting you to come in, meet the team, explore the environment and pick up some free food. They’ll be giving out individually wrapped combo, 2-piece bone-in chicken with a side of Mac and Cheese and roll and butter and other menu items. (They’re in a “training” phase.)

Give Back Day for Charity
Then, on Saturday, January 8th, they’re holding a “pay what you want” Give Back Day event. From 11am - 2pm and then 5pm-8pm, all sales from the day will go to benefit and support Mary's Center. Guests will be able to order off the full menu.

They’re holding a private party on Monday the 10th, and then the official opening is on Wednesday, January 12th.
