This week features the ultimate battle in breakfast food freebies, with both Denny’s and IHOP restaurants attempting to lure in customers by offering free food.

On Tuesday, February 3, Denny’s (NASDAQ: DENN) is offering a free a Grand Slam and coupon book to all customers that show up between 6am and 2pm. If you’re not a frequent Denny’s visitor, a Grand Slam consists of 2 eggs, 2 pancakes, 2 sausages, 2 slices of bacon.

On Thursday, February 5 it’s National Pancake Day at IHOP, where from 7am to 10pm all customers will be treated to a free short stack of pancakes. For those of you who don’t know what a short stack is, its three pancakes. All they ask is that you consider making a donation to a local children’s hospital, through the Children’s Miracle Network or other means.

So which deal will you go for? Dennys or IHOP, or both? Me? I’ll be staying home. No free meal is worth the inevitably long wait at either restaurant.
