Free pancakes are expected to draw big crowds Tuesday at local International House of Pancakes restaurants.

“We’re expecting to be busy from the time we open the door until we lock up at night,” said Rich Cecil, general manager of the Niles IHOP.

Tuesday is National Pancake Day, which means each customer receives three free pancakes from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. The restaurant chain asks for a donation to children’s hospitals.
