IHOP Free Pancake Day Event 2023

Updated for IHOP Free Pancake Day 2023

Every year IHOP gives away free pancakes around National Pancake Day to celebrate the day. The pancakes are completely free with no purchase required, although a donation to Children's Miracle Network is encouraged.

It's expected that a record-breaking amount of five million pancakes will be served in IHOPs around the country on this single day.

All IHOPS in the United States will be participating as well as IHOP restaurants in Canada, Mexico, and the Philippines.

Date and Time of IHOP Free Pancake Day 2023

This year the date of IHOP's free pancake day, called IHOP National Pancake Day, is happening on Tuesday, February 28th. Guests will be able to get their free pancakes between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.

Amount of IHOP Free Pancakes You'll Get

When you visit your local IHOP for National Pancake Day at IHOP, you'll get a free short stack (3) of their famous buttermilk pancakes.

Making a Donation for the IHOP Pancakes

Although not required, you will be asked to give a donation to the Children's Miracle Network in any amount you'd like in exchange for your pancakes. This money goes to local hospitals in your area and provides life-saving medical treatments and procedures for children in need.

Some of the restaurants will also be inviting guests to make a donation to get a wall icon of the Children's Miracle balloon to publicly pledge support to Children's Miracle Networks. Some of the restaurants will be giving a discount coupon to be used on future business with the purchase of a wall icon.

Restrictions for IHOP's National Pancake Day

The offer of the free pancakes is limited to one short stack per person and you must dine in to get the deal.

Getting More Free Food at IHOP

You can join the IHOP reward program and get a free full stack of Rooty Tooty Fresh 'N Fruity pancakes for joining, a free birthday meal, and some free food on your anniversary of being a member.
