IHOP National Pancake Day 2014

Tuesday:  March 4, 2014, 7:00 am - 10:00 pm

It's official! The date for IHOP's next National Pancake Day is Tuesday, March 4, 2014!

During National Pancake Day, the company's largest philanthropic event of the year, more than 1,500 IHOP restaurants across the country will invite guests to enjoy a complimentary stack of IHOP's signature delicious buttermilk pancakes from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Guests will be encouraged to make a voluntary contribution to their local Children's Miracle Network Hospital (we encourage guests to contribute at least what they would have paid for the pancakes - or $5).

IHOP will also host its annual miracle balloon campaign starting on February 1, 2014 and continue leading up to National Pancake Day on March 4, 2014.

One hundred percent of the donations will help local charities provide vital equipment, life-saving procedures and critical care for sick and injured children. Check back for more details as the event gets closer.

A great offer like this does have some rules! There is a limit of one free short stack per guest. The offer is valid at participating restaurants for dine-in only while supplies last, and are not valid with any other offer, special, coupon or discount.
