Free pancakes on IHOP's National Pancake Day. Here's when to get them

IHOP celebrates National Pancake Day on March 3, offering customers a free short stack of pancakes and encouraging donations to Feeding America.

You've heard of Taco Tuesday. But what about Pancake Tuesday?

IHOP is once again declaring the first Tuesday of March as its own National Pancake Day and that means you can get a free short stack of pancakes on March 3 at its participating restaurants in the U.S. Some other restaurants celebrate National Pancake Day on Sept. 26.

This is IHOP's 21s anniversary of its National Pancake Day. The breakfast chain began the promotion as a way to raise money for charity and is encouraging diners to donate to Feeding America. Every $1 donated at IHOP restaurants on March 3 helps provide at least 10 meals to local Feeding America partner food banks, the company said.
