Key Takeaways

  • IHOP is bringing back all-you-can-eat pancakes.
  • The promotion aligns with the back-to-school season, providing families with an affordable dining option during a typically budget-conscious time of year.
  • In addition to the all-you-can-eat promotion, IHOP’s Pancake of the Month continues to entice customers with new flavors each month.

IHOP’s all-you-can-eat pancakes are back and available through September 15. This annual promotion provides two ways to indulge in unlimited buttermilk pancakes: First, any IHOP breakfast combo includes a complimentary short stack of buttermilk pancakes. After polishing off the initial serving, guests receive additional stacks, two pancakes at a time, ensuring a continuous stream of pancake goodness — without any extra charge.

Alternatively, pancake purists can dive straight into a full stack of five buttermilk pancakes for just $5. This option also comes with endless pancakes, served two at a time. However, it’s important to note that this deal exclusively features buttermilk pancakes — no other flavors qualify.

IHOP, one of the fastest-growing franchises in 2024 and #19 on the Franchise 500 ranking, has always been known for its buttermilk pancakes, which have become an iconic part of the breakfast landscape. Last year, the brand partnered with actor Kevin Bacon during the all-you-can-eat promotion, celebrating both his birthday and IHOP’s anniversary.
