IHOP's National Pancake Day will offer free pancakes at local locations today

IHOP restaurants are celebrating the tenth anniversary of National Pancake Day today, March 3, by offering one free short stack of their famous buttermilk pancakes to guests from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

More than 1,500 IHOP restaurants across the United States will participate, including the local locations in Boardman, 833 Boardman-Poland Road, and Niles, 1980 Niles-Cortland Road SE.

Guests who enjoy the free flapjacks are asked to pay it forward by making a voluntary donation to their local Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, Shriners Hospital for Children, The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society or other local charities.
