Enjoy a free short stack of buttermilk pancakes Tuesday at the International House of Pancakes in celebration of National Pancake Day. 

On National Pancake Day, IHOP gives each customer a complimentary short stack in hopes to raise $3 million for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. 

According to an IHOP news release, "guests will be encouraged to make a voluntary contribution to the local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital or other local charities. One hundred percent of the donations will help local charities provide vital equipment, life-saving procedures and critical care for sick and injured children."

The promotion runs from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. at more than 1,500 participating IHOPs nationwide. Below is a list of some of the IHOPs in the Tampa Bay area.
