Free pancakes at IHOP on Tuesday

IHOP restaurants across America are giving away free pancakes Tuesday in celebration of National Pancake Day.

Customers can get one free short stack (that’s three buttermilk hotcakes) anytime between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.

In return for the free flapjacks, IHOP is asking patrons to consider donating to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. The program has raised nearly $20 million since 2006, according to IHOP.

San Luis Obispo County's only IHOP restaurant is at 212 Madonna Road in San Luis Obispo. An IHOP is also located at 202 Nicholson Ave. in Santa Maria.
