Pancake Tuesday restaurant FAQ

When is Pancake Tuesday?

Pancake Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday, 47 days before Easter Sunday. Because the date of Easter moves, Pancake Tuesday falls between February 3 and March 9.

Which restaurants have Pancake Tuesday deals?

Sunset Grill runs an annual Pancake Tuesday fundraiser at its franchised restaurants, selling regular buttermilk pancakes at a low fixed price with the proceeds going to the Canadian Cancer Society. Other breakfast chains publish pancake promotions in some years, and the specials on this page list the ones announced for the next date.

Is Pancake Tuesday the same as Mardi Gras?

Yes. Shrove Tuesday, Pancake Tuesday, Pancake Day and Mardi Gras all name the day before Ash Wednesday. The pancake custom comes from using up eggs, butter and sugar before the Lenten fast.

Can I get Pancake Tuesday pancakes for takeout?

It depends on the restaurant. Sunset Grill's fundraiser price has applied to pick-up orders but not to delivery, and orders of 25 pancakes or more must be pre-ordered with the local restaurant before the day.

Is IHOP's National Pancake Day on Pancake Tuesday?

Not always. IHOP picks its own date for National Pancake Day, which has fallen on a different Tuesday from Shrove Tuesday, and its Canadian locations have tied the free pancakes to donations for local charities.

Which restaurants have Pancake Tuesday specials in 2027?

As of November 13, 2026: Sunset Grill ($2 buttermilk pancakes for the Canadian Cancer Society). Each special lists its dates, price, conditions and the official source we checked.

What restaurant deals run on Pancake Tuesday?

27 regular deals (breakfast) run on Tuesday, February 9, for example Stacked: $7.99 Weekday Breakfast Special ($7.99), Sunset Grill: $6.99 Weekday Breakfast Special ($6.99) and Eggsmart: $9 Breakfast Before 10 AM ($9). They are everyday or weekly offers rather than Pancake Tuesday promotions, so check each one's conditions.

About Pancake Tuesday

Pancake Tuesday, also called Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day, is the day before Ash Wednesday, when Lent begins. It moves with Easter and falls 47 days before Easter Sunday, so it can land anywhere from early February to early March. In Quebec the same day is Mardi gras, and in Newfoundland and Labrador some families still cook small tokens into the pancakes.

The best-known restaurant offer is Sunset Grill's annual Pancake Tuesday fundraiser, held since 2009: franchised Sunset Grill restaurants sell regular buttermilk pancakes at a low fixed price and donate the proceeds to the Canadian Cancer Society. Flavoured pancakes and toppings cost extra, takeout is pick-up only, and large group orders have to be pre-ordered with the local restaurant.

Other pancake promotions change from year to year. Breakfast chains have tied pancake days to children's breakfast charities in some years, and IHOP's National Pancake Day is a separate promotion that does not always fall on Shrove Tuesday. Many churches and community groups also hold pancake suppers that evening; those are community events, not restaurant offers. Below the specials, this page lists the regular Tuesday breakfast deals that run on the day.
