Slavko's Harbor Poultry

Nestled in the heart of San Pedro, Slavko's Harbor Poultry is a treasured local chicken restaurant that expertly blends hearty comfort food with rich Croatian culinary traditions. This charming eatery at 1224 S Pacific Ave offers an inviting dining atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and warm, perfect for families, intimate gatherings, or even a romantic picnic packed with their deli delights.

At Slavko's, the menu is a celebration of robust flavors and satisfying portions. Signature dishes like the crispy, golden Chicken and Potatoes present a perfect harmony of tender, juicy meat alongside irresistibly seasoned spuds that customers rave about. The Half Pint Potato Nuggets are a particular standout—crispy bites of happiness that pair beautifully with the succulent chicken wings, delivering a classic combo that’s tough to beat.

For those who crave something a little different, the Foot Sub Sandwich surfaces as a unique and generously filled option, perfect for a grab-and-go meal. And don’t miss out on their Fried Mushrooms, offering a delightfully crunchy, earthy complement to the savory mains.

In addition to their everyday menu, Slavko's provides a special Thanksgiving lineup that features showstoppers like the Turducken – a remarkable chicken wrapped in duck, which is further encased in turkey – a true feast that honors tradition with a creative twist. Thanksgiving dinners here range from individual servings to extravagant full platters designed for larger celebrations, each crafted with the same care and flavor integrity you expect from their regular offerings.

Dessert lovers will feel right at home with offerings such as the homemade Chocolate Chip Cookie and an array of classic pies including Pumpkin, Apple, and Pecan – each pie a slice of comforting sweetness to round off your meal. The Ambrosia, a heavenly mix of fruit and marshmallows, is a particular favorite; so much so, as one customer noted, you might want to save a portion solely for yourself!

The soups are equally delightful, with rich, flavorful options like Chicken Gumbo, Chicken Tortilla, and classic Chicken Noodle soup, all crafted to warm you from the inside out.

Several reviews highlight the warm and friendly service that complements Slavko’s culinary offerings. Longtime patrons speak fondly of the connectedness they feel walking through the doors, sharing stories spanning four generations—a true testament to Slavko’s role as a community cornerstone. Guests appreciate the freshly made meals, attentive staff, and the inviting little dining room that feels more home than restaurant.

Whether you are drawn by the authentic, recipe-honoring Cevapcici—a Balkan-style meat link that's hard to come by—or the hearty, freshly prepared dishes that fill the plate and your heart, Slavko’s Harbor Poultry offers an experience that transcends simple meals. It’s a place to create memories over unmatched food, celebrated family traditions, and a welcoming vibe that ensures every visit feels like coming home.
