Honey Butter

Buttermilk brined, battered, and pressure-fried until crispy, the soon-to-be-famous fried chicken at Honey Butter anchors a retro diner experience on the north tip of Highway 133 in Carbondale. The Slow Groovin’ family transformed the former Red Rock Diner into this nostalgic landmark, serving up sandwiches and not-so-old-fashioned milkshakes alongside breakfast classics. Each chicken order arrives with homemade bread-and-butter pickled jalapeños, honey butter, and a signature hot honey sauce that can be used for dipping. The menu extends to include chicken and waffles, completing the classic diner fare with a modern twist in this small, iconic space.
