If you are a military member or veteran, you can take advantage of special Veterans Day discounts and services.
On Nov. 11, retailers and restaurants across the U.S. offer promotions to veterans to honor their service. You can enjoy a free breakfast at IHOP if you’ve ever served in the military.
IHOP’s Veterans Day promotion is only available at participating locations, so double-check with your local restaurant before you go.
2022 Veterans Day Discount
Participating IHOP restaurants offer all veteran and active-duty service members a stack of red, white and blueberry pancakes on Nov. 11. IHOP’s red, white and blueberry stack consists of three buttermilk pancakes topped with glazed strawberries, blueberry compote and whipped topping.
Note: Not all locations participate in Veterans Day promotions. Please call ahead to verify.
The discount offer may vary by location. Some restaurants may offer a free breakfast combo. Call your local IHOP restaurant to confirm what offer they offer before you make a visit.
When Veterans Can Get Their Meal
IHOP’s Veterans Day deal is available on Nov. 11, 2022 at participating locations.
You can order from IHOP’s Veterans Day special menu any time between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Veterans Day.
Who’s Eligible for IHOP’s Veterans Day Deal?
All retired and active-duty military personnel are eligible for one IHOP’s Veterans Day meal. Any family or friends who go to IHOP with you must pay full price for any menu items they order.

My husband and I went to the IHop on Woodruff Rd. in Greenville on Veteran’s Day. We ordered our meal and my husband showed them his veteran’s ID and the waitress told him he would be taken care of. He ordered the combo and when she brought the bill back, she told him that she had keyed it in as the “rise and shine” breakfast and it wouldn’t work so my husband did not get his free combo “breakfast”. He was hurt and dissappointed. This was not right! We did not argue with her but the more we think about it, the more it bothers us.

I would like to know why location of IHOP at 174th St. Is only offering me pancakes and not the breakfast special when it sez all IHops.

In one place the Veterans Day meal is stated to be “… current and former military members on Nov. 12, 2019, from 7 am – 7 pm.”
Later the Veterans Day meal is stated to be “IHOP’s Veterans Day deal will be available on November 11 at participating locations. You can order from IHOP’s Veterans Day special menu any time between 7 am and 7 pm on Veterans Day.”
Which date is correct?
