Flip out over these National Pancake Day deals
Confirmed
In Short: Cracker Barrel is offering all-you-can-eat pancakes for $5 on National Pancake Day, which falls on September 26.
Cracker Barrel is celebrating National Pancake Day on Saturday, September 26, with an all-you-can-eat pancake offer for $5.
According to Bakersfield.com and USA Today, the deal is available all day long at participating Cracker Barrel locations.
IHOP traditionally celebrates National Pancake Day in March with a different offer, but this September event allows for multiple celebrations of the beloved breakfast food.
USA Today reports that the $5 price covers only the pancakes and does not include beverages, eggs, meats, or sides.
IHOP's March celebration offers free pancakes to diners, but Cracker Barrel's September promotion is a bit different, with refill plates containing only two pancakes after the initial order.
Huddle House is also joining the celebration, offering customers who buy one order of Old-Fashioned pancakes a free second order on September 27.
Additionally, Huddle House is providing the Great American Pancake Trio for $4.99, which includes three pancakes in one of several flavors.
National Today suggests keeping an eye out for unique pancake specials from local cafes and bakeries, and encourages sharing pancake creations on social media using #NationalPancakeDay.
Grocery stores like Kroger and Walmart may offer discounts on pancake mixes, syrup, and toppings, while specialty brands like Kodiak Cakes could run online promotions.
National Today notes that the observance celebrates the versatility and global appeal of pancakes, from ancient Greek origins to diverse modern varieties.
Fans of pancakes are encouraged to check if other chains or local spots in their area are offering deals and discounts.
National Today will update its page with confirmed live deals as September 26 approaches, providing a comprehensive guide for pancake enthusiasts.
What this adds
The September 26 celebration is distinct from IHOP's March promotion, which offers free pancakes.
Cracker Barrel's deal is only available to customers dining in and does not include beverages or sides.
The pancake promotion is part of a broader trend of food-themed holidays, such as National Pepperoni Pizza Day on September 20.
