Today is the big day - National Pancake Day! However, don't mark February 28th on your calendar because Pancake Day's date changes from year to year.  But really...It doesn't matter whatever day it falls on IHOP is there with their FREE short stack to those who dine in.

That's right, the International House of Pancakes is giving away a free short stack to every customer who dines in the restaurant today a.k.a February 28, 2023.  Just in case you read this too late, I wanted to make you know the rules before you go into IHOP and demand your short stack! It's February 28th only! And, the free short stack of buttermilk pancakes is only from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
