Score Free Pancakes At California IHOP Locations Today: LIST

Do you like free pancakes? (That was a rhetorical question.) IHOP is celebrating its 12th annual National Pancake Day Tuesday, March 7, and in doing so, they are giving YOU a gift.

From 7 a.m. to 7 p.m, IHOP customers can chow down on a free short stack of buttermilk pancakes at locations across the nation, including here in the Golden State.

In return for the free pancakes, guests will be asked to consider leaving a donation for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals or other designated local charities.

Since beginning its National Pancake Day celebration in 2006, IHOP has raised nearly $20 million to support charities in the communities in which they operate.

There are nearly 200 IHOP locations across California. Find a list with the one closest to you here.
