This January, IHOP restaurants, including both located in Rockland County, are helping breakfastarians achieve their New Year’s resolution – to eat as many of IHOP restaurants’ world famous, freshly made for you buttermilk pancakes as often as they wish, any time of day – by bringing back one of the brand’s most popular and beloved offers, “All You Can Eat” pancakes. From January 4 through February 14, guests dining in participating restaurants can order either five famous buttermilk pancakes or a short stack of two pancakes with a combo plate of eggs, golden hash browns and their choice of breakfast meats for breakfast, lunch or dinner – or all three!

Guests can choose to add and switch among the following toppings: · Strawberries · Blueberries · Cinnamon Apples · Peaches “Since the moment we opened 57 years ago, our guests have been able to get the perfect breakfast any time of day,” said Kirk Thompson, Vice President, Marketing, International House of Pancakes, LLC. “And now, with the return of All You Can Eat pancakes, one of our most beloved traditions, it’s even easier for our guests and fellow breakfastarians to get their fill of our warm, delicious buttermilk pancakes, morning, noon and night through February 14 — and what better time to end this promotion than Valentine’s Day, when breakfastarians can celebrate their love of IHOP!” IHOPs are located in Rockland County at the Spring Valley Marketplace and the fourth floor of the Palisades Center Mall.
