IHOP, one of America's iconic chain eateries, celebrated National Pancake Day with a special offer that delighted pancake enthusiasts nationwide. On this day, IHOP served free short stacks of buttermilk pancakes to customers dining at participating restaurants. The offer, which ran until 8 p.m., was not only a treat for pancake lovers but also part of a larger community initiative to support those in need.
The celebration was marked by a record-breaking event on the Santa Monica Pier in California, where IHOP officially broke the Guinness World Records title for the most pancakes served in an eight-hour period. During this impressive feat, IHOP served a staggering 25,629 pancakes. The event took place on a Saturday and attracted significant attention from both locals and tourists.
Lenna Yamamichi, vice president of brand creative at IHOP, expressed the company's enthusiasm for the event.

This promotion is part of a month-long initiative running from March 1 to March 31. IHOP encourages guests to support their local communities by making on-check donations or rounding up their check to help provide meals for people facing hunger. This initiative highlights IHOP's commitment to giving back and fostering community spirit.
As part of its ongoing efforts to make a difference, IHOP has partnered with Feeding America throughout March. The company aims to put purpose behind its pancakes by helping those in need through this collaboration.
