Boston Restaurants Where Kids Eat Free

I remember when I was a kid; my mom and dad would pack me, my two sisters and brother up in the minivan and drive to the Ground Round, where it was "Pay What You Weigh" night. 
One at a time, my siblings and I would step on the scale. The number on the scale was what our dinner would cost. It was a steal for my mom and dad. Instead of paying full price for six people to eat, we got kids meals for $.40 and $.60 each – and that included an ice cream served in a tiny, plastic baseball cap. 

The Ground Round has closed since then, but there are still a few restaurants in the city that will serve up discounted, or free, meals to kids.
