IHOP is giving away free pancakes today — here's how to get them
IHOP (International House of Pancakes) restaurants all around the U.S. are offering a special deal in honor of National Pancake Day.
On Tuesday, March 4, the food chain is giving a free short stack of Buttermilk Pancakes to customers. However, they can only get the free pancakes if they dine in an IHOP restaurant between 7 am and 8 pm.
Although no minimum purchase is required for customers to get the freebie, there's a limit of one stack of free pancakes per customer.
With more than 1,600 IHOP restaurants in the U.S., you can find your local spot for free pancakes using the chain's online store locator.
IHOP's latest pancake deal comes days after the company broke the Guinness World Records title for the most pancakes served in eight hours. The company broke the record at Santa Monica Pier on Saturday (March 1) when its team served 25,629 pancakes to 8,543 guests.
'National Pancake Day is a holiday our fans have come to know and love, which is why we wanted to make the celebration even bigger for our 20th anniversary with 20K for Pancake Day," Lenna Yamamichi, vice president of brand creative at IHOP, said in a statement before Saturday's event.
In honor of how many pancakes were served on Saturday, IHOP donated $1 for every pancake to Feeding America, resulting in $25,629 going directly toward the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank.
Along with IHOP, Denny's is also celebrating National Pancake Day today. While pancakes aren't being offered for free, customers can plan for the chain's 'All You Can Eat Pancakes' deal when dining in the restaurant. The endless amount of pancakes, with the first round being three buttermilk pancakes, costs just $6.
Last month, Denny's announced that some of its restaurants were adding a surcharge to its popular dishes because of rising egg prices caused by the current spread of bird flue in the U.S.
'Due to the nationwide egg shortage and increased cost of eggs, some of our restaurant locations will need to temporarily add a surcharge to every meal that includes eggs,' the company said in a statement emailed to The Independent on February 24. However, Denny's said it would continue to look for ways to provide options for customers on its menu.

Iconic diner chain launches new deal in effort to boost slumping sales
Denny's has slowly bounced back from a rocky quarter thanks to a fan-favorite BOGO deal. The struggling restaurant chain is offering a buy one, get one for $1 deal on its Grand Slam or All-American Slam breakfasts. The special is available for all customers who dine-in at a participating location. The deal, which began on March 24, will be available until May 9. The deal was introduced after the restaurant chain's same-store sales fell 3 percent in the first quarter of the year. The same-store sales were the Denny's worst performance in four years, which executives claimed was because of customers cutting back on spending. The chain has been struggling in recent years, and is in the process of closing 180 underperforming locations. Despite high inflation and tariffs that have left customers 'shaken,' the chain said the BOGO deal has helped to partially make up for its lackluster financial performance. Denny's saw a significant sales boost in April after nearly 70 percent of its customers took advantage of the BOGO deal. Around 4 to 5 percent of its customers are still ordering it, which executives confirmed resulted in increased traffic at restaurants. The amount of traffic the deal racked in has helped the chain offset the discount. 'We've been very pleased with this promotion and know that it's critical to our guests that really need compelling value offers during this time of uncertainty,' said CEO Kelli Valade. 'We pulled it through because we could see that given the choppy environment and the competitor activity around value, we needed to come in with something a bit stronger.' Denny's other popular offerings are foods from its $2 $4 $6 $8 value meal, which was resurrected last summer after a four-year hiatus. While the deals have put smiles on some customers' faces, others have been frustrated by the chain's decision to add surcharges for egg-based dishes. Denny's confirmed the drastic change weeks after Waffle House also added an egg surcharge. Both restaurants added the surcharge in response to rising egg prices due to a deadly strain of bird flu . However the first quarter of 2025 was not a total bust for the struggling diner chain. It managed to hit a home run with its $111.6 million operating revenue, a slight increase compared to last year's fourth quarter. It also completed 6 location remodels, 5 of them being at company-owned restaurants. Besides the BOGO deal, the chain noted a sales boost at its growth brand Keke's Breakfast Café, and earnings from takeout and delivery orders helped with profits. Denny's currently has an outstanding debt of $276 million and hopes the closures will 'improve franchisee cash flow' while allowing them to 'reinvest into traffic-driving initiatives.' The restaurant chain currently expects this year's same-store sales to be a negative 2 percent to positive 1 percent despite its recent extra earnings.

Applebee's owner Dine Brands to lean on value, marketing to reverse sales declines
Dine Brands hopes to boost sales this year with a wider swath of value meals and buzzier advertising after a rough 2024 for Applebee's and IHOP. 'We had a soft year in 2024, which disappoints us, but we're focused on improving that in 2025,' Dine Brands CEO John Peyton told CNBC. 'We've got to have compelling messages and compelling promotions and compelling reasons to drive traffic into the restaurants.' Dine on Wednesday reported fourth-quarter U.S. same-store sales dropped 4.7% at Applebee's and 2.8% at IHOP, ending the year with four straight quarters of domestic same-store sales declines for its two flagship brands. Shares of Dine have fallen 50% over the last 12 months, dragging its market cap down to $386 million. The company's down year followed three years of strong growth for the company, driven by pent-up demand as diners returned to IHOP and Applebee's after the pandemic. But like many restaurant companies, Dine saw a pullback last year from customers who make less than $75,000. After several years paying higher prices for groceries, rent, gas and other necessities, consumers opted to stay home to cook their meals or visit other chains that offered better deals or flashy promotions. The slowdown in restaurant spending led a slew of casual-dining restaurant chains to file for bankruptcy over the last 12 months. Familiar names like Red Lobster and TGI Friday's sought bankruptcy protection to reorganize their struggling businesses and offload their worst-performing restaurants. Most recently, On the Border filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Tuesday. Applebee's promotions have failed to cut through much of the noise from the so-called value wars that have ignited across the restaurant industry, at chains from McDonald's to Bloomin' Brands' Outback Steakhouse. Even a triad of recent pop-culture moments last year couldn't boost its profile: a pivotal cameo in the tennis drama film 'Challengers,' an Applebee's-motivated meltdown on 'Survivor' and a shoutout from football legend Peyton Manning during Netflix's roast of his former rival Tom Brady. 'You've got most of the restaurant companies are advertising value, and they're advertising full meal deals, and so it's harder to break through with a message when there are so many similar messages out there,' Dine's Peyton said. But it's not impossible to break out from the pack. Chili's, which is owned by Brinker International, won over diners with its viral Triple Dipper and $10.99 burger combo after spending months turning around its business. In its most recent quarter, Brinker reported same-store sales growth of 27.4%. Thanks to its dramatic comeback, the company has become the rare casual-dining darling of investors. Brinker's stock has soared over the last year, nearly tripling its value in the same period and raising its market cap to $6.29 billion. For now, the star of Applebee's value promotions, the two for $25 deal, routinely accounts for roughly a fifth of the chain's tickets, according to Peyton. But Applebee's is looking to add to its value offerings later this spring or in the early summer with options that appeal to larger groups or to customers who don't want to order with their dining partner. Dine is also trying to improve its social media presence. 'At both IHOP and Applebee's, we know we need to do better there. We know we need to be more relevant. We know that we have to be part of the conversation and the culture,' Peyton said. A new president for Applebee's could help with that goal. Peyton is currently pulling double duty serving as interim president for the chain after Tony Moralejo stepped down effective Tuesday. Peyton said the company is looking for a replacement 'with a great marketing background' who understands how to connect with younger customers, on top of being a great leader with an understanding of franchising and some restaurant experience. (Yum Brands' Lawrence Kim joined Dine as IHOP's president in early January, succeeding Jay Johns.) Looking to 2025, Dine is trying to communicate better with its customers and use its menu innovation to attract younger diners, according to Peyton. But Dine's confidence in its ability to attract customers seems shaky. For 2025, the company is projecting Applebee's same-store sales to range between a 2% decline and a 1% increase and IHOP's same-store sales to range between a 1% decrease and a 2% gain.
