In honor of National Pancake Day, IHOP is giving away FREE shortstacks of their famously delicious, syrupy, buttermilk pancakes. Mmm…our mouths are watering just at the thought of them. Find your nearest IHOP and take advantage of this great deal…it only comes around once a year!!

From 7 am until 10 pm tonight, IHOP is giving every customer a free shortstack of pancakes to celebrate National Pancake Day and support their annual fundraiser for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

In return for the complimentary stack of fluffy flapjacks, IHOP is hoping the generosity of customers will help reach their goal of raising $2.6 million for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and other local charities.

Last year, IHOP was able to raise $2.1 million for their cause, and since beginning Nation Pancake Day in 2006, they have given away over 10 million pancakes!

You still have the rest of the evening to take advantage of the complimentary shortstacks, and really, nothing makes a better meal than breakfast for dinner!
