GLENDALE, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Oct 13, 2008 -- Kids won't be the only ones receiving a special treat this Halloween. IHOP, one of America's favorite restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner, is celebrating this spooktacular holiday by inviting everyone to enjoy Trick or Treat All-You-Can-Eat Pancakes any time of day or night from now through October 31. Guests can also compliment their pancakes with a Never-Empty Pot of IHOP's International House Roast coffee, a rich blend of premium beans selected, harvested and roasted exclusively for IHOP.

"This October we know our guests will find unlimited golden buttermilk pancakes and cups of fresh, hot coffee devilishly delicious," said Carolyn O'Keefe, IHOP's senior vice president, marketing. "There is no trick about it. IHOP pancakes are perfectly delightful for fall."

Available for a limited time at participating locations, IHOP's Trick or Treat All-You-Can-Eat Pancakes are available a la carte or as part of a combo, which start at $4.99 and begin with two, fluffy buttermilk pancakes, eggs any style, golden hash browns, and a choice of pork sausage links, crisp bacon or ham. Pancakes are then served fresh three at a time until the guest is satisfied. Pricing may vary by location.
