    Has anyone done this before? I’m trying to decide if they typically have long wait times on this day.

      We have gone the last few years and it was very busy but I’ve never had to wait. We don’t go super early, like 9am and it’s been ok. I’m sure it varies by location but my experience has been good.

      Hi Bebe, I live in Westchester County NY where there alot college kids looking for free/cheap meal. Which equals long wait times and complete chaos for me when I’ve gone. I also found the pancakes quality to be not as good during this event. Hope you have a better experience.

    One stack per person including kids?

    • dbld-amber

      Correct. We went last year for dinner. It was crowded but were seated right away.

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Yes! I just called in to my store to be sure! Hope that helps!

    The free pancakes are smaller than the ones you would purchase. It’s ok because they’re free. Where I live our local IHOP is always busy but when this promotion comes it’s a line out the door. :'(

    For those who have not taken advantage of this at prior times. Be mindful…it cuts off at 7PM…sharp. Even if you have been placed on the list & are waiting to be seated (prior to 7)…they will NOT honor the promotion for anyone after 7.

      Thanks so much for the warning! Good to know!

    I hope the servers mentioned the donations. Ours did not. We always do this each year. Donate $ and eat for under $20.
    The server didnt even tell us to donate or mention it!😢 I noticed the box was not by the entrance or the waiting area this year as it has been in the past years.
