Celebrate National Pancake Day 2025 with sweet deals across Texas

Most of us enjoy fluffy pancakes for a satisfying morning or as a special yum for dinner. Those syrupy stacks are also called by other names like Johnny cakes, griddle cakes or hot cakes.

No matter what they are named, they have a special day. National Pancake Day is Friday, Sept. 26. Pancakes, however, are so famous that they have two National Pancake Days, as per the National Today website. The other National Pancake Day aligns with the conclusion of Mardi Gras and Fat Tuesday, also called Shrove Tuesday, which marks the beginning of the Lenten season. For the past 20 years, IHOP has offered away free pancakes on the date and made money for charity contributions.

Cracker Barrel’s Fluffy Feast

Cracker Barrel is celebrating the occasion with a $5 all-you-can-eat pancakes promotion on Friday, Sept. 26. Members of the Cracker Barrel Rewards program receive early availability on Thursday, Sept. 25.


Football fans can get an added bonus in the fall season. Cracker Barrel is honoring "pancake" blocks – when one football player flattens another in a play – by providing a free side of pancakes with any entrée purchase to guests wearing a team jersey or portraying a same-day game ticket.

Farmer Boys’ Hot Cake Special

Farmer Boys, a California-based fast-casual chain, includes pancake lovers in the joy. Members of its VIF loyalty club can get a Hot Cakes Platter or Chocolate Chip Hot Cakes Platter for $7 on Sept. 25 and Sept. 26.
