San Pedro's best. We love Slavko's. Their chicken nuggets and potato nuggets are to die for. Service is always on point and owner is very nice. Lots is seating with fresh and different food options. A Sunday favorite!

Absolutely love this place for the owner, then the food! Back in the late 90's and early 2000, I had a boat docked near Pedro. I've always passed this place, wish I'd gone in earlier! As soon as I entered, I looked a bit confused and the owner immediately gave me a sample of their potato and chicken nugget. I was already hooked, not by the food, but by this sweet older gentleman. I had already glanced at the menu on Yelp and knew I wanted the gizzards and liver. Since he had already given me the famous potato and chicken nuggets, I asked what else he had. He offered the cevapcici and explained that it was a sausage with ground beef, lamb and other meats, which I didn't catch. I was already going to order this because it had lamb. He also said I can get 1/2 n 1/2 of the order of gizzard and liver if I did the pint size. When I got my food, he said if I liked the cevapcici, then come back for the Croatian plate. I took my food to the nearby beach and tasted the food! So much sausage and potatoes! The ayver sauce is like a red bell pepper base. The onions on the sausage were sweet. Yum! Eat the liver and gizzards hot! I added a honey mustard sauce for 35 cents more. But I did take the leftovers home and bake it in the toaster oven. The inside is minimal. The pricing is cheaper than others. I'll be back for more food and the older gentleman's hospitality! Since I now go fishing and hiking around there!

I had the chicken nuggets and potato special. Food was great and I really enjoyed it. The owner was so nice in making a recommendation.

I am sure you are familiar with the expression- do not judge a book by its cover. Meaning that you should not assume value by the exterior of a person or, in this case, an establishment. I think this place is not more frequented by customers because it gives tattered and forgotten vibes. But this place is a treasure-- so hopefully this review lets others know that this place can be the valuable Pokemon card that you can find at the neighborhood flea market. I say this because the food is fried goodness at a reasonable rate. This is a breadth of fresh air in an atmosphere that is thick with high inflation-rates stench. When you enter prepare to be underwhelm by the decorations. The place is certainly not chic. The knick knacks that are around the restaurant are mostly for amusement, they do not speak elegance or create an atmosphere of elevated sophistication. But they are fun to see. For example, there is a sign where a tomcat says "hi bate" to a female cat. The female cat says "do not hi babe me, you told me that we were just wrestling." The tomcat sits four-legged with a smug and accomplished smile. The female cat has a fancy bow around her neck--- she belongs to society. The tomcat made her belong to the alleys for a night. A story is told by this portrait that is funny, superficially. But if you look at it through the eyes that one should have after the me too movement the sign is offensive. But this place has the sign so I encourage you to go with the eyes that spot humor at face value. Do not over analyze or you will be offended. I went there and I dropped a nearly empty cup of ice coffee. I felt bad. They had to clean up my mess. But they did not make me feel bad about it. In that respect this place is a classy joint. When I go- the move is the chicken nugget plate. It comes with plumb chicken nuggets and potato nuggets. They are not exactly crispy. But you can take them and make them as crispy as you want. I also get 5 corn on the cob. They warm them up, put some melted butter on top, and they are good! I eat them till every corn niblet is gone--- like I was a cartoon character and I used a type-writer method to identify and enjoy every niblet. I also got two corn muffins. They warm those up too. They give you choice of sauces. I go and get the honey mustard dressing. It is all decent. It is not a bite from heaven but it fixes hunger good and proper and all for under 16 dollars. And I think all I ordered can feed two people. This place is worth a visit. If you are not fussy, and can handle simple food that is done good enough then you must go here. Your tummy will be satisfied and your wallet wont' weep. But remember do not assume that this place is fancy. It is down-to-earth and sweet. It is like visiting a friend from the country- they give you good eats and they have a glorious absence of sophistication.

A 4th of July tradition in San Pedro, for my family at least. Potato nuggets and fried chicken always a favorite at our celebration

Excellent customer services and delicious food! My favorite are the nuggets, potatoes and crab. So good!!

Friendly service. I was excited to see the cevapcici dinner on the windows and missed the full Croatian plate at the counter. Everything was delicious and super filling. My partner and I could've split one plate but we wanted to try everything. Dining room was adorable and food took a second because they made it fresh. Nuggets are always ready to go it looks like. We'll be back to try the full Croatian plate, lamb shanks and maybe a fresh spiny lobster?

I called ahead to make sure they were open and headed over. First visit so Jim provided us some samples and we left with a pile of potato and chicken nuggets, jalapeño poppers, and bbq ribs. I wanted to stop for some beer but guess what? Slavko's sells beer so we got a six-pack of Estrella. Needed ketchup too, and he sold us a bottle! It's a one stop shop!!! We enjoyed all the goodies!
