Cluck-U Chicken, also known as Cluck University, is an American quick-serve restaurant chain, with locations in the U.S. states of Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.

While most locations are franchises, Cluck-U also operates corporate-owned stores, featuring a more limited menu, under the name Cluckster's.

History

Cluck-U Chicken was started by Robert Ilvento in 1985. The first location was in New Brunswick, New Jersey at Rutgers University. Ilvento sold the business in 1999.

In 2000, JP Haddad acquired the rights to develop the franchise nationally, while Ilvento began to promote the business.
