IHOP’s ‘All You Can Eat’ pancakes are back — but there’s a catch

IHOP’s “All You Can Eat” pancakes will be available until Sept. 15, a change of schedule that was inspired in part due to back-to-school season.

IHOP and Applebee’s have quietly been serving pancakes and wings at a single combo restaurant for the past 6 years

“Historically, IHOP’s ‘All You Can Eat’ offer was positioned at the beginning of the year,” a company representative told Fox News Digital via email.

“In 2024, the brand has strategically situated All You Can Eat around back-to-school,” the representative said, “to help families when schedules are tight and wallets are pinched from shopping.”

IHOP customers can get “All You Can Eat” pancakes in two ways, the representative said.

They can either order a breakfast combo that comes with a short stack of pancakes – and additional “short stacks” (two pancakes) will come free of charge, she said.

The other is just straight pancakes, the representative said.

“For pancake purists, start with a full stack of five buttermilk pancakes for just $5, followed by a short stack (two buttermilk pancakes) with every additional order,” she said.
