A dual-branded IHOP x Applebee’s restaurant will open in north Tarrant County next week– and the first few customers can win free pancakes for a year.

Guests can enjoy IHOP’s pancakes and hash browns for breakfast as well as Applebee’s burgers and ribs for lunch and dinner.

The first dual-branded IHOP/Applebee’s restaurant opened in Feb. 2025 in Seguin, Texas. Dine Brands Global, IHOP’s parent company, acquired Applebee’s International for $2.1 billion, nearly 20 years ago, in 2007.

The parent company plans to open 15 dual-branded restaurants across the country by the end of 2026.

The Euless location will open on Tuesday, Feb. 24 at 6 a.m.

The first 100 customers who dine in will receive free short stacks of buttermilk pancakes for a year. Customers must be physically in line at the time the store opens to be eligible.

On March 3, the location will also celebrate National Pancake Day by offering guests a free short stack of pancakes.

Will the dual-branded restaurant have both IHOP and Applebee’s menus?

The dual-branded restaurant will feature both menu items from IHOP and Applebee’s plus a few more exclusive dual-branded dishes.

Guests can dine-in to enjoy their favorite pancakes from IHOP or wings from Applebee’s. But there will also be fusion dishes like the Buffalo Chicken Omelette and an Ultimate Breakfast Burger.
