FREE PANCAKES: On March 4, IHOP is giving away free pancakes to celebrate National Pancake Day. Check participating locations here.

We have a very important announcement to make: IHOP is giving away free pancakes to celebrate National Pancake Day. Stop what you’re doing, cancel your plans, and make your way to your nearest participating store. This is not a drill.

National Pancake Day takes place on March 4, and to mark this special occasion, IHOP is offering a short stack of buttermilk pancakes for absolutely nothing. You’re looking for the catch, aren’t you. There isn’t a catch, you cynic. Sometimes life gives you lemonade, except in this case, it’s pancakes.

This free giveaway is valid for anyone walking into IHOP’s dine-in locations from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on March 4. We should note that there is a limit of one stack per guest, and you should check participating locations before you set off in pursuit of free pancakes.
