We are excited to announce that we will be switching our name to Pancake Castle.

Although the name is temporary, the restaurant chain best known for breakfast says it wants people to know they are taking burgers as seriously as their pancakes.
However, many on Twitter did not take the announcement so seriously.
IHOP is now IHOb. Now Denny's will become Danny's.

Not really afraid of the burgers from a place that decided pancakes were too hard.

As much as we love our pancakes, we'd never change our name to Whatapancake

The Phillies even joined in poking fun at the company flipping the "p" in their name.

And some were just plain upset the restaurant would go through a temporary name change just to announce new burgers on the menu.

I'm confused, you might as well just kept yourself as ihop and just announce that you will be serving burgers..... it doesn't make sense

Whether you liked the name change or not, there's no need to panic, the company says their pancakes aren't going anywhere.
Don't worry, Pancakers. We still love pancakes. We're just expanding our burger horizons.
